Apples to oranges. Try the 5.45 vs 5.56.

Also, service life? AK only lasts 40 years? WTF?

Are there any M16 rifles around from 40 years ago?

Yes. The Air Force is still fielding frankenguns built on early/mid 60's era lowers.

I thought the service life portion was a bit funny myself,also thought the accuracy (MOA) portion was amusing seeing as how if I had a AK that shot a minimum of 8 MOA or an AR that shot a minimum of 6 MOA they no doubt would both be sold and I would never purchase another firearm from either manufacturer. Ive also seen the AK47 and 74 both perform well past 400 yards and have seen AR15's perform well past 600 regularly so I cant agree with the max effective range data.

I didn't know that. So really some parts of the AR have a 40 year service life :taunt:

That chart could not be more wrong. Besides the service life there are many more inaccuracies.

There are so many flaws with that chart... :doh:
