It has been a long time since I've shot an AK, so I may not be remembering it as accurately. I carry an M4 daily, however, so I'm much more familiar with that weapon. In any case, the most time I've had hands-on with an AK was in Iraq. The rifles were military weapons (full auto select fire), some with the fold-over stock (which I don't like in general, but I realize such a feature has it's place). Like I said, I've only fired the AK47s, not the 74s.I get what you're saying. I wasn't denouncing the AK, though. I am not afraid of recoil, and recoil management is not a problem for me. I'd have no problem employing an AK in self defense or in battle. I just noticed that the AK(47)'s recoil is harsher than the M4's. It "feels" more like my 12ga (firing 2.75" Ranger LE buck shot).
