Given that most un-gunny people try to correct you if you mention an AK-74, "you mean 47?"... no. I know that most folks on here are AR people but for the Kalishnikillers on here which do you feel is a more effective fighting rifle and why?
There are so many things to consider that your question is very hard to answer. Personally, as someone who live in a semi-urban environment, I prefer the 5.45 due to penetration and liability should a round escape my dwelling. And the round is more than capable of doing its job in a CQB environment. Just me two cents worth.
