The AK is a perfectly accurate weapon with a much larger round.
Which one?
The 47 of course. I would have specified otherwise.
Then I have to disagree with you. The 47 is designed for close-quarters fights under harsh condition, without being repaired or cleaned too often. Thus, it is goes for reliability at the cost of accuracy.
The trajectory and reach of a 7.62 round are far superior to the 5.56 round. For CQB there is no weapon more used than the H&K MP5 in all of its varieties. If you're shopping for the ultimate SMG, look no further than the FN P90 in 5.7 caliber. When loaded with SS190 rounds it will penetrate 48 layers of kevlar at 150 yards. It's produced not far from where I live. It's also highly illegal to own one.
1. Yes, 7.62 will go further than the .223. But all this talk about the .223 being underpowered is crap.
2. The MP5 is a good gun, but there are others that are up there with it. The UZI being one. It was designed for CQB.
3. Civilians can own the PS 90, its semi auto.
1. It will go further faster doing more damage. Nuff said.
2. The MP5 owes its accuracy to a unique blowback system. That's why it is used by Navy Seals, SWAT, GSG9 etc. The Uzi is nowhere near that, not even in the same class. It is however very easy to clean and assemble, which is nice.
3. Over here we get nada. Strictly army and police.
