For the range - AR all day long. For real life, God forbid you need it, take the AK with you....

In the military we all play pretend with our range only M4's.
Don't you know the AR is unreliable and has no stopping power and was only designed to shoot to wound. The AK never needs to be cleaned or oiled and 1 shot anywhere will kill someone just like a .45

Ugh, define your mission:
Up close, AK
Medium to longer ranges, AR.
Need to take that 'Speed' shot over a shoulder, AR.
I have both, zombies start walking and I can grab just one rifle, I wouldn't hesitate to grab my AR. Then again, I drive a Ford and don't mind Glocks.
I am a huge Ak fan, but holy $hit lets get real.
haha, best answer yet

pretty sure crazy was being fecetious
Is your name Mohammed?
Do you like to blow things up, particularly yourself?
Does your camel look forward to Thursday nights because it gets the night off?
Do you live in a rock hut and wipe your a$$ with your bare hand
If you answer yes to any of these... then get the AK
But if you love America, Freedom and boobs... get the AR
If precision headshots for zombies was needed quickly and rapid. AR, is obviously the choice.. no recoil and toy gun like rapid fire ability.
For shtf and need barrier penetration... AK, or something in 308
Upclose... i think the answer is semi auto shotgun..aka saiga 12 gauge
if I remember, 7.62x39 prices didn't skyrocket like 5.56 during the Obama scares.
Two issues still concern me, though.
#1 When I was in Basic Training most of us took the M16 into the shower with us to clean. The stock was very plain and easy to wipe down. Many modern AR's appear "SteamPunk" to me, with so many nooks and crannies that probably have no function, look cool, but are tough to really clean.
Are modern AK's easier to wipe down than modern AR's? Or the same?
#2 In MA High-Capacity Magazines, that are Pre-Ban, can be tough to find. I do see Four Seasons offering AR Pre-Ban Mags regularly. Are Pre-Ban AK Magazines as easy to find?
Yep

Keep in mind that Communism fell in Eastern Europe in 1990, 1991 and communism spread to Mass in 1994. You do the math. Since the 90s, most former communist countries are switching over to their own guns or western guns like Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic States. Kittery Trading Post is about 1hr, 1.5hrs north of Boston. Just sayin'
AK's have nooks and crannies too, in fact I've never had a gun that didn't. If you get the chance to shoot both an AK and an AR, I'd suggest asking to see them taken apart and where to clean. There's also Youtube. The gas tube can be a pain to deal with if you don't have a 20 gauge brush, bore mop or pipe cleaners.
One note - the "bluing" used on the dust cover on the Russian AKs I've owned does wipe off a little if you use Hoppe's 9. Cleaning patches will look like you smashed a bunch of blueberries in them.
AK and AR cleaning videos:
Who on this forum was the last to ever throw mud in a gun and shoot it?

Really surprising videos.
Did they guys just happen to use a really lousy AK? Because their results are totally opposite to what many of us would expect.
By the way, I'm sure there are torture test videos out there that would show the exact opposite results. Nothing is failure proof.
Probably 90% or better of all "knowledgeable" gun people think the AK is some indestructible perpetual motion machine. It just isn't so.
