  1. The AK47 does not kick, whereas, the M14 kicks like a mule! So, why is the 5.45 X 39 MM so impressive for not having a kick, hell, it should kick less than an M16, which kicks like a little girl. The AK74 grenade launcher is only good for 200 meters, can anyone hit at 400 meters using the M203!? Think; assault rifles are short range weapons, if you have to make a head shot out to infinity meters, someone within the squad will have a long rifle to make that shot! The assault rifle is designed to me light, maneuverable, high rate of fire, drop dead reliable but not particularly accurate beyond 300 meters, which under combat conditions you are not going to be shooting at, anyway.
