[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2507281, member: 24446"] That was an episode of "Triggers" comparing the AK47 and M1A. The host is Wil Willis, former US Army Ranger and US Air Force Para-Rescueman. I don't recall the military experience of that episodes guest co-host but they were comparing the M1A SOCOM vs the AK47 although it wasn't really a "which is better" but more of a "let's see how they compare". The M1A had a low power optic and the AK had iron sights so they discussed how it wasn't a fair match up but what really made the episode interesting was the results of the shots hitting the coconuts. Both guys seemed surprised that the 7.62x39 rounds really didn't do a whole lot other than pierce the coconut and break it while the M1A's 7.62x51 made the coconuts explode quit impressively. There's no arguing the 7.62x51/.308 can put the hurt on your coconut should you be that unfortunate. [/QUOTE]
