Accuracy factor isn't even kinda correct either. I hear all the time in the military how the rifle only holds 7 MOA and yet from a supported shooting position I can cut out a nice 4 inch hole at 200yds with an M-16 right out of the armory. And I can do better than that with anyone of my personal ARs.
I also question the muzzle energy they have listed. The AK and its 7.62x39 round typically has nearly double the muzzle energy of the AR and its 5.56x45 cartridge. There's just no comparison between the two. The AR is the scalpel while the AK is the sledgehammer......and we all know sledgehammers are waaaaay more fun than scalpels!!
I agree with you assessment as far as the rifles go but not you "fun" factor assessment. Completely depends on the person. I much prefer taking one of my ARs out and doing some long-range precision shooting to going to the range and just dumping ammo out of an AK. There's no skill involved in that.
jcreek, if you haven't ever rocked & rolled with a full-auto AK... you're missing out, my brother. The only thing that is more fun than that, to me, is the 240.
Yeah, ARs are capable of sub 4" groups at 200m... if the shooter is too. Like B2Tall said, the AR is a scalpel and the AK is a hammer.
