How reliable is AK47?

The AK47 is more reliable than most active rifles in the West.

But for a long time, the reliability of AK47 has been deified again and again by ignorant media and most military fans who have never really touched it.

And in fact?

1. The statement that American soldiers threw away M 16 to pick ak47 in Vietnam War has been proved inaccurate by the Vietnam War veterans of that year, and Liu Xuechang, president of China Ordnance Industry Association, has repeatedly investigated and verified that most American soldiers threw away M 14 instead of M 16. This shows the importance of media reporting ideology.

2. In terms of modern automatic rifles, AK47 is already a relatively backward rifle. Otherwise, why did the former Soviet Union tear down AK47 on a large scale in 1974 and replace it with AK74? Why did the active forces in China also withdraw the imitation version of AK47 and replace it with 8 1 and 95?

AK47 is a famous gun, but brothers who are still talking about its reliability today, go online and search M4 and CR 15(M 16) newly manufactured by HK American Company to see its reliability. Let's take a look at the reliability of the 8 1 rifle currently in service in China.

After reading these, maybe you will have a new understanding of who is the most reliable rifle today.
