One is a great rifle. The other throws a lot of bullets in a lot of places. Some of those places,
coincidentally, contain what you're shooting at.
I know almost any gun can be made to shoot better, and some can be made to shoot great, but, the average AKs
that I have experience with weren't worth the cost of their parts, which ain't much!
Poorly toleranced noise makers.
I know there are clones out there that are decent weapons, but your average AK ain't worth shit.
YMMV
