That's why soldiers don't put their weapons in the mud. Even crawling around, we cradle it like a baby.

Using the same broken AK and expecting a different result is simply genius level!

Для чистоты эксперемента, нужно что бы обе платформы были в равных условиях. В случае с ак, на втором видео, был отстегнут магазин а у ar пристегнут. Не думаю, что если у ar отстегнуть магазин и набить грязью приемник он сможет после этого произвести хоть один выстрел.

The spring is clearly loosened. On a genuine AK, spring operations cannot be done so easily. The AK was adopted by the Russian army, since it passed heavier tests than the short-term presence in the mud shown here. For AK, this is a regular situation, after which he is guaranteed to work.

Ak :- so you gotta throw me in mud I will act like I won't work

The mud on both of those pretty toys has almost made me cry

At 3:32 minutes, the author clearly conducted the test incorrectly. "AK" was without a strapped magazine. AR has always been with the magazine strapped on. Put the BALL in the dirt without a magazine and we'll see how it will work. Then the Romanian analogue on the video is a replica of the Russian one and I agree that the springs here clearly did not reach the original.

I will try to present a neutral view on this, although i identify as an AR-15 Enjoyer The AK (contrary to popular belief in this comment section) is a Real AK, manufactured in Romania, with No Significant Difference in terms of Reliability to Russian Production AKs, and the fact that the AK Jammed is because the AK is simply an Open System, Great for Arctic Conditions, but not at all great for mud And about the AR Passing, I'm not surprised, as it's a Sealed System, Designed to Keep Stuff out Overall, i still believe that Both are Incredibly Reliable Rifles on it's own accord, and that this test is a good test for the laughs and giggles, because there will be no soldier dumb enough to submerge their Rifles in mud like that

Results - don't put gun in mud

both use different philosophies. the AK is more prone to letting dirt in and jamming but is far quicker and easier to rectify. Its also more resilient to fine particles such as sand and dust due to loose tolerance. The AR is designed to avoid getting anything inside the action in the first place which it does a great job of. However when debri, especially fine debri, enters the action it will require a fairly complex disassembly and thorough cleaning.

0:34 на археологических раскопках в африке нашли АК74, его возраст датируется 1500 лет до нашей эры, уникальный образец пребывал в своей естественной среде хранения примерно 3000 лет и исправно функционирует до сих пор.

As a life long soldier (16 years and counting) in a military that uses a galil variant which is basically a AK in 5.56 i can honestly say that with little use the AR seems to be the superior firearm . That said i would still personally prefer an AK\galil as my personal firearm, i'd get that AK running in a few seconds , where as im not convinced that issues with an AR could be sorted out as fast.

У меня АК-74М стрелял даже когда ветка попала во внутрь ствольной коробки. Механизм просто её перемолол в опилки. Со старшиной проверяли старый АКМС вываленный в грязи на стрельбище,так там вся грязь кусками вылетала вместе с гильзами к хуям собачим. А здесь элементарно пружина не может дослать патрон без сопровождения рукой затвора и клин в два выстрела. На видео типичный китайский АК.

I dont know if thats fair. I love AR's but both times you put it in mud you had a mag in the AR. The second time you put the AK in the mud it had no mag inserted.

оригинальный Калаш вам нужен пацаны, а не то говно которое у вас)))))

When I went through SF training we were on the range firing all US weapons from WWI upto 1970, that included the M-14 and M-16. When we were finished the NCO from weapons committee walked over to a mud puddle and picked up am AK-47 full of mud and water, he pulled up a magazine, inserted it, racked the bolt and let slide forward and pulled the trigger and sent 30 rounds down range. He looked at us and said, "This is the weapon of your enemies!" I never forgot my introduction to the AK-47.

I knew as soon as I saw the amount of dislikes vs likes the AK failed. lol

Bottom line- if anything goes into the chamber thats not supposed to be there, its going to malfunction at some point. Regardless of the firearm

Difference between having a open system vs a closed system

Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about this because if this happened in an actual firefight, you'd have the rest of you life to fix it!

*Arguments for AK vatnik fanboys in denial to use*: 1. That's not a real Russian AK. 2. That AK was built after 1959 3. The AK-12 would do better 4. The ammunition was sabotaged 5. The ammunition was not Russian 6. The mud was not Russian mud 7. The sun was in the AK's eyes 8. That AK didn't work before the test 9. It's all the magazine's fault 10. You didn't pledge allegiance to communism before using it and it rejected the notion of working for a capitalist dog 11. That mud is actually concrete 12. This is Photoshopped 13. This is not a real AK 14. This is a false AK 15. They are both AR-15's _Pick one._

Молодцы тестеры, АК взяли не настоящий, видно, что пружина слишком слабая. Закинули в грязь без магазина, м 16 без магазина не топили.

This happens when the AK is not real. Well, the whole point is that in seconds the AK is completely disassembled, cleaned and assembled in seconds.

Румынский АК это как резиновая женщина

Тестировать надо Российский АК а не Румынский . Они разные

Возвратная пружина в ЖОПЕ поэтому и застряёт затвор, когда служил в армии, АК и не только грязь проходил, т.к. было произведено не где то в подвале, а на заводе! Где хорошие и подогнанные детали.

Moral of the story: No matter what type of gun you have, try NOT to drop it in a mudhole.

Сейчас начнется: - Вы неправильный АК использовали - Да он китайский, лучше бы советский или российский использовали. - Да он просто старый, новый бы побелил ваш AR. С учетом того, что эти "гении" говорят: ЛЮБОЙ АК - хороший, и не важно в каком он состоянии. Хочу заметить, AR побольше пытали.

Girls locker room : "omg Chloe's pics are so cute" Boys locker room :

Чет пружина возвратная слабовата у калаша. Да и это не русского производства, не военный.

Who’s ready to have a serious discussion on metal quality in magazine springs now?

“The rounds are getting stuck” yeah bro i you shoveled mud directly into the bolt assembly 😂

On "AK" the return spring is faulty, it can be seen. He cannot shoot normally even when he is clean. And this is not a Russian "AK". My Russian AK has a much more energetic return spring.

Conclusion: whatever gun you are using, don't immerge it in mud.

To be fair here , that AK has literally no freaking recoil spring. That spring couldn’t hold a ball point pen open. If it had a much better ALG spring in it I’ll bet you it would’ve done a hell of a lot better.

Which ak did you use?

A round in the chamber before the mud would be more realistic.

Did the same test twice with 2 different AK’s and 2 different AR’s. My results were way different. I don’t think these tests prove much but to show who’s an avid fan of either rifle.

The AK is designed to be reliable when it comes to everyday dirt not hardcore dirt. However the fact it took the AR basically being made from mud to fire less than 3 rounds before jamming while the AK being dropped in a mud puddle gave it a 2 round shot limit and after that rarely fired proves which is better.

All the internet gun experts heads are exploding how an ar15 worked lmao

Эксперимент считаю не действительным. Не был показан серийный номер оружия, ни тип патронов, не было поверки в чистом состоянии. Нет смысла здесь спорить с надёжностью АК-74. Эксперимент должен проводиться на 2-3х моделях оружия, чтобы исключить дисперсию результатов.

for objectivity it was necessary to shoot from a weapon before placing it in the mud

Both rifles are exceptionally awesome. That being said…..after your extreme mud test is comes down to favoritism. Yes I said it. Both guns are great and work best under certain conditions. Anytime mud is packed inside a firearm, it will moSt likely effect the overall shooting quality of the weapon.

That AK probably has the same problem when its cleaned up.

Вы сравните АК России, АК Китая и АК Румынии . Будете очень удивлены.

I have a big experience with mud in my soldier times, Mud become a piece of your skin hahaha.

So many examples on the internet of AKs biting it with mud and people still cry

wow... the Chinese AK (or intentionally broken), I don't know what these AR boys wanted to say and prove in the video, but the Kalashnikov is so legendary that every American housewife knows that it is a super hardy and reliable weapon, yes, in general, the AK-74 version is a little less reliable than the AK-47, but if it is the original with of the Russian Izhevsk plant, then it will definitely not behave like in the video, you can find on KZfaq how each specimen is tested, they are not only bathed in mud, but also thrown from a height, frozen, sandblasted in a germo-chamber

С первого же заряжания недосыл патрона, слабая пружина явно видно. Чтоб так клинил грязь надо вовнутрь накидать, и то не факт что клинить будет . Второе ак полностью был в воде и в магазин натекло песочной жижи. 15й лежал магазином кверху

Автомат Калашникова какой-то палёный ,он возвратную пружину двумя пальцами вставил чему явно не соответствует действительности.

I liked the fact that the forward assist works

His like a kid all over again, having fun in the mud. Catch some frogs.

>AK fails to extract >"GUYS IT'S BECAUSE PROMAGS SUCK" Does anyone in the comments even own a gun?

I thought you were just gonna shoot the mud a bunch

AR guys when AR does bad: Oh, my favourite weapon didn't do good but still i love it. AK guys when "AK" does bad: proceeds to cry and make excuses

Wy would you do that to two beautiful guns

this dude really wore a shirt to a mud test, what a bright spark.

Чё то пружина то слабовата, не? Как всегда, всё по-честному, да?!))))

I keep telling all the COD players, the AK is overhyped and it is basically an open door for mud and grime and shit, if you know anything about the basic designs the AK is basically an open to the environment while the AR keep the environment out

That is the best torture tested AR-15 I have ever seen! It was even better than the AK suprisingly.

AR Dust cover opens by mistake in the desert and you are screwed for life.

Там резинка от трусов вместо возвратной пружины?

Данное видео,достаточно хорошо показывает "надёжность и безотказность" АК.🥴🤔

Which are is that? I want to buy it

Everybody knows the result in Vietnam.

Я не эксперт конечно, но мне кажется что на АК пол пружины откушено!!!!!!!

All these AK fanboys crying here😂😂😂

Imagine disliking the video, just because your favorite gun got beaten by an another gun in a fair competition

Enough of these comments, they’re good on their own ok? In my opinion, AK is simpler and cheaper design. AR is more advanced. I love both of them, no hate on each one.

The AR-15 is a super closed system. No gun will function 100% properly if you get mud/water/sand into the operating mechanism. Not even an AK. Difference is that the AK will never have a catastrophic failure and it's super easy to clean even on the field (remove top cover, turn it upside down, tap it a few times and I GUARANTEE YOU, it will work). The reason why the AR-15 worked, is because as I said, it's a super closed system. It gives it pretty good precision. But when it gets mud/water/sand into the operating mechanism, it can even explode (the downside of a very tight, closed system). Also field clearing it takes a lot more effort and time (lots of small parts, pins and more steps to take). Remove the dust cover on the AR-15, pour some mud into the chamber and magazine area - instant failure to fire (as shown in the video). Pour some mud into the operating mechanism too - time to disassemble the entire bloody thing. Sidenote: Are you sure the problem isn't with the magazine on the AK? Aftermarket mags are usually not as reliable as the surplus AK mags (on the AR-15, it's the opposite. PMAGs rock).

I couldn’t tell but I was curious as to whether the AK was a stamped receiver or milled wonder if it would’ve made a difference?

there is a Russian-made AK, and there are replicas that are collected in the basement. Here you can even see that instead of the return spring in the AK there is an elastic band from the underpants.

I have never heard either of these weapons will be reliable with mud and rocks in them... *HOWEVER* where I have heard the AK47 outshines the AR15, is you can take a AK47 over to some undisturbed puddle of water, rinse it out with plain water (or a bottle of water) and with no lubrication will fire reliably. If you were stuck in a jungle with no cleaning kit and no oil, my understanding is the AR15 will eventually not be reliable without the proper things to clean and lubricate. The AK47 only needs some semi clean water. That to me is a huge advantage. In a war, or SHTF scenario, you will likely run out of clean patches, and oil... at that point, you will have only water at your disposal, so will the AR15 operate reliably on only semi clean water? That would be the true test of reliability to me. Do this same test, but after you pull it out the mud, have a creek or large puddle of water near by, submerge the weapons into the water and manipulate the action while agitating them around to get off as much mud as possible, then after cleaning it the best you can in 30 seconds in that water, shoot them both. Shoot 90 rounds through each and see which one has more reliability issues. Another test to do would be to remove all lubricants from both weapons and then fire 1,000 rounds through each with no cleaning. Again I will bet the AK47 outshines the AR15 here. Don't get me wrong, under certain controlled conditions, the AR15 outshines the AK47, but reliability is not one of them. If I was part of a swat team, where we operated in a urban environment, and not likely to shoot more than 300 rounds in a single engagement, I would want a AR15 hands down as the accuracy is better, follow up shots are quicker, and its is typically lighter. Now if I was going into the woods, and had no idea how long it would be before I could potentially have access to additional oil, cleaning kits, etc, and I could be out there for months or even years, I would want a AK47.

С этим ак явно какие то проблемы были изначально...

There are 2 take down pins on the AR the upper and lower will split. Quick access to the BCG (Bolt Carrier Group) and can quickly look down the bore

These videos sure changed my opinion about the AR’s reliability.

There is a reason why powder in your gun jams your rounds over time shooting it. Keeping your gun clean is key and clearly is the problem :O

Они этот АК из АлиЭкспресс заказали

if I see and hear the word "automatic(assault rifle)", then immediately associations with the Kalashnikov family.

Congrats You find the only bad-assembly AK47 in the world

Great video, im sorry I thought it was a Chinese ak , I’m suprised the Romain ak didn’t work. Was it a mag issue too? Thanks great videos, besafe

Лучше бы спросили у тех кто на рисовых полях АК прятал

all the AK copium is fucking hilarious

I had a big heart ache every time he throw those weapons into the mud. He did it so violently xD

One argument I always see is, "but you can clean an AK faster than an AR!" Now that might be true, but you are probably still dead in that time too. Bottomline is don't get your AK or AR muddy in the first place.

Это не АК. Скорее всего какая- то копия. АК перезаряжается гораздо туже, так просто пальчиком на нём пружину не взведёшь.

AK or AR, can we all agree not to drop our rifles in the mud ? Our lives depend on our rifle after all.

Is that a promag in the ak ur asking for a jam

Lots of CLP and the AR is a trooper. Those of us who've been to Iraq or Afghanistan know. Both the AK and AR are great rifles though.

The whole thing with AR's not being reliable comes from years back in both Vietnam and when our troops first went into Afghanistan. They have for the most part worked out the kinks and it is pretty reliable now.

This is called Timepass job.🤣🤣

Imagining myself having to clean those is giving me nightmares

That is just a dlc pack that changes the look of the ak, it makes it look like an AR-15

Пришлите им АК с Ижевска.

moral of the story, if you just extracted your firearm from a mud pit you have about 2-5 rounds to disable your target before your AR/AK becomes a billy club.

AR-15 - американская полуавтоматическая винтовка под патрон 5,56×45 мм. Выпускается с 1963 года, поступает в продажу в качестве гражданского оружия для самообороны, охоты и т. п, является штатным оружием полиции.

Ohhh ok I get it now, if your in a wet environment a AR is better if its dry the AK is better. It truly is situational.

Может мне кажется но на ак затвор как то легко открывается , как буд то там пружины нет , а вернее там какая то слабая или пиленная пружина. Так же двигается затвор у страйкбольного ак.

The ak knows your an ar fanboy😂That ak47 was definitely broken before you threw it in the mud brother 🤦🏻‍♂️

There were other problems with that AK. I would have liked to see it fire before the test. But, overall I would agree that American designed is better. Even though a true test would be on generation specific weapons for example AK-47 vs M1 Grand or M14
