The sks is basically the M14 of the eastern world. A great rifle that was adopted to fight another war like WWII, but was immediately replaced with a superior rifle that could hold more ammo and could be fired accurately on full auto. Redendered obsolete due to the changes of warfare post WWII.
nah i wouldnt call it obsolete -just modernize it a bit and hand it to militias while the military gets the fancy stuff, makes sense since civillians dont have a literal supply line of ammo at their disposal.
Depends on what you need them for in my opinion. The SKS wasn't as mass produced as the AK or AKM. I believe the quality is higher all around, as no one in the Gun Industry has tried to duplicate it as they the AK. The longer barrel, gives the SKS an advantage for the hunter , Survivalist or Ranch gun. Finally, the internal magazine is a major plus for us that know how heavey humping magazines. I have a 20 round magazine ( Red Star) in my SKS and that is plenty for me. The shorter magazine also gives the SKS and advantage in the ability to get as close to Mother Earth when the lead starts flying. However, it is still capable of delivering fire from a prone position. I own ( 3 ) AK's an ( 1 ) SKS. I personally would keep the SKS if I had to choose only one. Semper Fi
The Sks is better than the ak at muzzle velocity and effective range. But the ak has higher fire rate, shorter length and lighter weight than the sks. Both are good rifles. I really love them.
The SKS paratrooper is a great "in-between". It's a 16" barrel SKS. I think I'd take my paratrooper over my AK in the end of the world tbh, but I always go back and forth.
This is typically true but not always true. If you're talking Russian, the milled Ak47 in general is a lot closer to the sks weight if not more from what I found online somehow. Reality is there are many variants of both and pros and cons to both but not many cons really as they are both formidable. Should look up sks full auto, seems like a higher cyclical rate to me than ak although sks was never designed with select fire in mind..
One has a slightly shorter barrel than the other. Personally, i prefer my Norinco Chinese-American SKS Type 61 to my Kalashnikov 3/A. Also own a Chinese type 56. All are easy to clean and durable.
The only thing I think the AK has over the SKS is the ammo capacity and as you said maybe ease of reloading if you have magazines instead of stripper clips. Either way the SKS is one of those rifles that can still very much be viable in a modern army even if its not top of the line compared to todays stuff.
@@robosoldier11 couldnt agree more, I for one prefer the stripper clips. Ive had alot of malfunctions with SKS’s that have detachable mags. The ole fashioned jus seems to be far more reliable
@@brandmann9597 I've read somewhere the Chinese made like a paratrooper version that takes AK-47 magazines. There pretty rare but I think that rifle was known to work well enough. Which frankly really the SKS is a cheaper rifle and pretty hardy as the AK-47 so a bit surprised not more country's stuck around and built off of it, outside ya know the Chinese.
@@robosoldier11 thats actually the one I was referring to. Had nothing but problems with it, maybe it was a lemon. Always impressed with British made tho, wood instead of plastic and good ole stripper clip fed
@@brandmann9597 I think there are a couple iterations of the SKS that take AK mags. The first batch are like a whole separate mechanism that removed the floor plate and 10 round internal magazine of the SKS. Which is where I hear are the problems. However there is the SKS-D Chinese norincho that just straight up take ak-47 mags which I’ve heard run smooth but are rare.
You can prob still get them pretty cheap now adays. Kinda just have to look around, I found mine at a local pawn shop that had like 10 Chinese surplus SKS still covered in cosmaline for 400 bucks. I'm sure price has gone up to some extent where you are at but don't give up hope you'd be surprised how often people have hidden gems no one notices till they do.
@@robosoldier11 Chinese SKS is at LEAST $400 in the absolute worst condition. Anything better quality and you’re looking at $600 +. When you can buy a decent AR for 400 the SKS loses its novelty.
@@Master_of_Critique Idk about ABSOLUTE WORST CONDITION! Seems a bit hyperbolic. I'm sure the prices have changed a bit but again the SKS I bought for that price was practically brand new out of the box. In so far as it was preserved within the heavy coat of Cosmaline. If your just saying Chinese SKS are bottom of the barrel compared to other SKS variants, then frankly I think your mistaken. Considering seen a variety of SKS's around and maybe outside of looks they all function on equal par.
I have SKS at home, it’s awesome. We have it for as long as I can remember, kind of antique…. Many buyers want to buy it but my dad is fond of it…. I love that rifle.
Theese weapons were suposed to serve alongside eachother and coexist in an infantry squad but mr kalashnikov got carried away and made a gun that was just too good and fulfilled both roles of itself and of the sks
To me both platforms perform pretty much the same. The main difference between the two is AK has a higher rate of fire given it is magazine fed while the SKS has greater accuracy and range given it has a longer barrel than a AK. SKS also has a lower profile which is handy when firing from a prone position where as the AKs magazine can be an issue while firing prone.
Which one is better? It depends on what you need them for. SKS is much more accurate and more powerful thanks to its longer barrel, but AK-47 is much tougher, has a 3x larger ammo capacity and do not forget it is an automatic rifle.
The AK is more for crowd control or medium-range combat, while the SKS is more for longer ranges, as a DMR. Both are good in their own ways. Would love to have both, not gonna lie.
@@cerberus3671 Yeah, but you get what I mean. AKs are rapid-fire guns, good for firefights, while SKS's are distant range rifles, for careful precision attacks.
@@averyvaughnwallace6242 they aren’t at all lol that’s what 7.62x54 precision rifles are for. SKS’s we’re made during the the mad dash to have something in a intermediate cartridge after the Second World War
It depends on intended purpose. IMHO the AK-47 is the best battlefield rifle ever built, but I'm not in the military anymore. I wish the bolt stayed open when it was empty. As far as a general purpose all around rifle the SKS is hard to beat. If you learn how to use stripper clips you can reload quicker than the person in the video did. If you need more than 10-15 rounds to handle the situation you're in either you are in over your head, or you can't shoot. Either way you're screwed.
Какой дурак утвердил вариант АК-47 только со стволом одной длины,уже ни кто ни когда не узнает.Сделали бы АК-47 с 2 вариантами стволов,один из которых ствол от СКС,так не было той самой "болячки"АК,которая преследует этот самый АК с момента создания по сей день-отвратительной баллистики 415 ствола,что сказывается при стрельбе на дистанции выше 250 м.
In Canada, there is only SKS, no AK, and only semi-automatic, no fully automatic. Two weeks ago, I went hunting for the first time. The guide suggested that I use a 30-06s with scope. Although I have 5 of them, including 2 Sako 85 Bavarian, I took a Chinese SKS without scope and caught a 200 Ib male black bear at 100 feet with one 7.62x39 SP round. I chose the SKS because it is cheap, reliable, and semi auto. Another advantage I found during this hunt is that the gunshot is not that loud, so don't have to wear earplugs or hearing protection while in the woods.
There’s something about the way the AK looks that I absolutely love. It’s way more menacing looking than an AR in my opinion. I’ve had both and preferred my AK.
SKS semi automatic easy to relode its barrel is long its range is more,while AK is fully automatic protable easy to carry, choise is yours both are fantastic.
SKS no doubt. Another factor that gives it the "edge" , is that it skirts around "laws & policies" that Dummycrats try to implement. I bought a Russian SKS back in the day (96) and still love it. Excellent vid. 👊🏽🎯
I like the SKS, mainly as it is compact and versatile; The internal magazine means no det mags to lose nor be damaged/lost. The SKS can also be loaded singly and can be loaded through the top OR the bottom of the magazine. Oh...in the bottle test, you showed 6 bottles damaged by the AK, but you had the bottles set up like bowling pins, so there weren't 6 bottles all in a row. Did the bullet deflect?
I’m not gonna be that guy and claim that “one rifle is better than the other” but I will explain *why* the SKS was replaced by the AK47. The reason ‘why’ is because they discovered 2nd hand about the effectiveness of a shorter rifle with an intermediate cartridge and so, the SKS was born. The SKS wasn’t full auto but it was accurate and it was able to lay down a more effective volume of fire because of the lowered recoil, the SKS is almost considered a carbine at that point (in my opinion), which was already a firearm that has been proven to be affective during ww2. When the AK47 came along, it beat every prototype during their test trials and it was sure a hell better than the SKS because it was literally meant to replace it. The Russians knew that battles were going to start getting closer because they were getting their asses pounded by the Germans with that tactic, what mattered most was a higher volume of fire for most troops so that they can push closer to their enemy by riddling more bullets. the Russians developed what was, -the perfect assault rifle of the time. The SKS -as well as the AK, will always be nothing more than a chapter in the firearms technology and knowledge. The AK47 isn’t the perfect assault rifle either, which is why it was replaced later on by another Kalashnikov model. However, you can’t always win and other countries turned out to make better rifles like the M16/AR15. And if you think I’m biased, I’m not. *I own all three.* (not the full auto models, but you get it).
I have used both with detachable magazines, long and short barrel variations. Only a knats ass difference between them. It all comes down to preference. Many ak47 don't have last round bolt hold open.
SKSs are made with a milled reciever from a solid block of steel while a majority of AKs are made from a stamped reciever. The thicker milled reciever ways a bit more than the stamped sheet metal.
I disagree the sks is far more easy to make accurate shots with at further distances and the ak is better at shorter distances based on my own experience (i own multiple ak and sks rifles) not to mention that you get better muzzle velocity resulting in the 7.62×39 out of the sks having more over all power and range
@@Schrodingers_kid That's because nobody is talking about the SKS in the first place. I like the rifle. But AK made it completely irrelevant and to be fair, SKS was outdated by the time it was developed.
SKS vs. AK... Actually, due to both munitions are use the same 7.62×39 M43 intermediate rounds the range and wound damage are same. But the difference are accuracy, fire stability, and close quarter follow-up shots.
@@daggerg8451 Whatever. The difference is still very minimal. The difference in velocity since they both shoot the same round is dependent on barrel length. A couple inches longer barrel won't boost the velocity by much and surely doesn't make a real world difference. I believe the SKS is a more accurate rifle due to it's more solid construction. The AK was produced with stamped steel receivers whereas the SKS receiver is machined from solid stock.
@@arch3088 it matters if your shooting 400 to 600 and it did enough in the real world for the Chinese to like the sks over the ak 47 not just akm. It has more to do with the gas system which is why they used the same gas system for the type 81 which is more accurate than the ak. That’s the akm the chinese didn’t have the technical data package for the akm when they picked the sks over the ak 47 the ak 47 is milled receiver.
(SKS vs AK-47) SkS will be my first choice for its long range upto 500m accuracy and less recoil reliability durability and finally its beauty. AK-47 with folding butt will be my first choice for 300m range, more rate of fire and its probability. I have bought rifles the SKS Norinco 26 model 79 military surplus in company bluesh polish and milled receiver AK-47 Russian made in 1956. The SKS and AK-47 both are fantastic but i Love SKS.
To check for accuracy, you should shoot from a bench. The inaccuracy could be due to the shooter. Also, the AK bolt often times don't lock open after the last round , SKS won't have that problem.
I have used both sks and akm sks is more accurate, powerful and hits longer targets because of it's longer barrel But akm is full auto, shorter and optional
Этот автомат не пристрелян или неправильно в плечё упёрли приклад (первый раз что-ли с АК стреляет) - чтоб так мазал. В советской армии был не пристрелянный и пристрелянный. Пристрелянный на 600 метров валит точно. Лучше лёжа стрелять, чтобs враги не попали. СКС не было. Была трёхлинейка с 4х оптикой и ПКМ. РПГ7 также были в наличии. Просто армия, что есть то есть в наличии. У коллеги в армии под Львовом MG3 были. Серьёзная машина. Патронов было много.
Basically the same effect, the same caliber, although the SKS shoots more accurately than the AK47, but I would definitely choose the AK47-AKM-AK74-AK12 if I had to choose between the two weapons The SKS is now highly valued in the USA, probably because of its cheap price and high firepower, and as I look at it, it is a very backward old construction (it is already visible on the reloading system and on the entire wooden body), it only has a relatively large caliber and shoots more accurately. like the AK47 Actually, the AEK971 should have been released to the Russians in a new design, or else the multicaliber system and external design of the AK12 turned out to be very good, but the 900 rpm is missing from the AK12 in my opinion In a semi-automatic rifle, the Ruger Mini Tactical Model 5888 seems like a good construction to me, although I would definitely buy an automatic military carbine for myself, whatever the cost.
The SKS kinda looks like an AK, to the extent that the gas system and barrel look to be that from an AK, slapped on to a magazine-fed Mosin Nagant. Crazy.
Actually, it's the other way around. SKS predated AKs by 2 years (SKS was invented in 1945). I think AK was made to look like SKS , but with totally different gas piston system (SKS uses short-stroke piston, AKs uses long-stroke piston that suspiciously looked similar to M1 Garand)
@@muhammadnursyahmi9440 Yeah, Brandon Herrera did say that Kalashnikov was inspired by the the long-stroke piston design of John Garand's M1 Rifle. I should've known the SKS was made in 1945, BTW.
Ill take both thank you very much hahaha. But seriously if shit was really was hitring the fan id want my sks. Its truly is the ultimate survival.tool and i choose ot over my ar 15 and ak 47
While I like my SKS and AK if you live in the US then and AR platform or an AK that shoots 5.56 is more practical. Reason is 5.56 Ammo is more abundant in US and can be found in every NG Armory or Police Station. Same cannot be said for 7.62x39.
I am a old fashion military trained man. Don't like assault rifles, their change marksmanship for high volume fire rate. Also are very unconfortables in prone position. In this case, let me the SKS
Design wise and my personal favorite weapon in video games I think the AK wins. I mean I don't think there's anything more satisfying than pulling the bolt back to chamber around in the AK-47 (Besides maybe the m1 Garands clip ejection noise)
I own both of these rifles, and they have about the same performance. The AK47 is faster and lighter, but the SKS is more accurate. I love them both. If you ever get the opportunity to shoot these rifles, you should give it a try! They will put a big smile on your face.
These tests are not scientific at all. This video was made strictly for fun. Both of these are great and very fun to shoot. Thank you for watching!

The sks is basically the M14 of the eastern world. A great rifle that was adopted to fight another war like WWII, but was immediately replaced with a superior rifle that could hold more ammo and could be fired accurately on full auto. Redendered obsolete due to the changes of warfare post WWII.
but still used for another purpose
The SKS is still a good rifle to own, it's a very common thing to come across in Canada BC we can't have aks
nah i wouldnt call it obsolete -just modernize it a bit and hand it to militias while the military gets the fancy stuff, makes sense since civillians dont have a literal supply line of ammo at their disposal.
@@sekarmaltum1695 it is obsolete. obsolete doesnt mean that it sucks. theres just move convenient stuff to use. its a great gun tho
The SKS was more accurate which is why the Chinese created the Type 63 and its replacement the Type 81 which are a combinations of both guns.
Depends on what you need them for in my opinion.
The SKS wasn't as mass produced as the AK or AKM. I believe the quality is higher all around, as no one in the Gun Industry has tried to duplicate it as they the AK.
The longer barrel, gives the SKS an advantage for the hunter , Survivalist or Ranch gun.
Finally, the internal magazine is a major plus for us that know how heavey humping magazines. I have a 20 round magazine ( Red Star) in my SKS and that is plenty for me.
The shorter magazine also gives the SKS and advantage in the ability to get as close to Mother Earth when the lead starts flying. However, it is still capable of delivering fire from a prone position.

I was really surprised the SKS weighs the same, you'd think having 20 less bullets and a tiny internal magazine would make it much lighter
SKSs are made with a milled reciever from a solid block of steel while a majority of AKs are made from a stamped reciever. The thicker milled reciever ways a bit more than the stamped sheet metal.
Nice and informative video
Saludos desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
having owned both, there is no reason to choose the SKS; the AK literally does everything that matters better
I disagree the sks is far more easy to make accurate shots with at further distances and the ak is better at shorter distances based on my own experience (i own multiple ak and sks rifles) not to mention that you get better muzzle velocity resulting in the 7.62×39 out of the sks having more over all power and range
SKS is the only gun that Russians made properly and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it,unlike "reliable" AK
@@Schrodingers_kid That's because nobody is talking about the SKS in the first place. I like the rifle. But AK made it completely irrelevant and to be fair, SKS was outdated by the time it was developed.
@@dablackprodigy1295 Can the SKS be used as a DMR with a scope?
@@JohnyX8881 it was outdated for conventional warfare but it got a new life in the Chinese army and Vietnam and Korea
That Ak 47 has no muzzle break
SKS AK
SKS vs. AK...
Actually, due to both munitions are use the same 7.62×39 M43 intermediate rounds the range and wound damage are same.
But the difference are accuracy, fire stability, and close quarter follow-up shots.
Higher fps with sks
@@daggerg8451 Minimal difference.
@@arch3088 it was a big enough difference the Chinese preferred SKS over the ak until the 80s they liked it for it’s longer range capability
@@daggerg8451 Whatever. The difference is still very minimal. The difference in velocity since they both shoot the same round is dependent on barrel length. A couple inches longer barrel won't boost the velocity by much and surely doesn't make a real world difference.
I believe the SKS is a more accurate rifle due to it's more solid construction. The AK was produced with stamped steel receivers whereas the SKS receiver is machined from solid stock.
@@arch3088 it matters if your shooting 400 to 600 and it did enough in the real world for the Chinese to like the sks over the ak 47 not just akm. It has more to do with the gas system which is why they used the same gas system for the type 81 which is more accurate than the ak. That’s the akm the chinese didn’t have the technical data package for the akm when they picked the sks over the ak 47 the ak 47 is milled receiver.
(SKS vs AK-47)
SkS will be my first choice for its long range upto 500m accuracy and less recoil reliability durability and finally its beauty.
AK-47 with folding butt will be my first choice for 300m range, more rate of fire and its probability.
I have bought rifles the SKS Norinco 26 model 79 military surplus in company bluesh polish and milled receiver AK-47 Russian made in 1956.
The SKS and AK-47 both are fantastic but i Love SKS.
I want to see you shoot the MG34 MG42 gun
To check for accuracy, you should shoot from a bench. The inaccuracy could be due to the shooter. Also, the AK bolt often times don't lock open after the last round , SKS won't have that problem.
SKS👍
Both rifles are extremely robust strong rifles, no matter what anyone says, they're good rifles.
Believe in God and pray
I have used both sks and akm
sks is more accurate, powerful and hits longer targets because of it's longer barrel
But akm is full auto, shorter and optional
Sks is for like an elite marksman its better for a specific target i think the ak is just a full auto gun its for close and mid combat and fits well
I have both rifles and i love both the SKS i call the poor man's garand :)
எனக்கு பிடித்தது sks
Этот автомат не пристрелян или неправильно в плечё упёрли приклад (первый раз что-ли с АК стреляет) - чтоб так мазал. В советской армии был не пристрелянный и пристрелянный. Пристрелянный на 600 метров валит точно. Лучше лёжа стрелять, чтобs враги не попали. СКС не было. Была трёхлинейка с 4х оптикой и ПКМ. РПГ7 также были в наличии. Просто армия, что есть то есть в наличии. У коллеги в армии под Львовом MG3 были. Серьёзная машина. Патронов было много.
Ak good and sks it's so too good. 👍
Until China comes in with their AK x SKS hybrid called the Type 63 😂
Both are good. SKS has good range with low round n low recoil. AK has good round with low range n has high recoil.
Nice!!!!
Thank you!
Basically the same effect, the same caliber, although the SKS shoots more accurately than the AK47, but I would definitely choose the AK47-AKM-AK74-AK12 if I had to choose between the two weapons
The SKS is now highly valued in the USA, probably because of its cheap price and high firepower, and as I look at it, it is a very backward old construction (it is already visible on the reloading system and on the entire wooden body), it only has a relatively large caliber and shoots more accurately. like the AK47
Actually, the AEK971 should have been released to the Russians in a new design, or else the multicaliber system and external design of the AK12 turned out to be very good, but the 900 rpm is missing from the AK12 in my opinion
In a semi-automatic rifle, the Ruger Mini Tactical Model 5888 seems like a good construction to me, although I would definitely buy an automatic military carbine for myself, whatever the cost.
To be honest review I think both of these weapons are magnificent and each one to fill their own special role on the battlefield
I love the paratrooper SKS
Who can give the accurate details of that ak in the video and which country made it ...i liked it ...itis very nice
I have an sks and it is very accurate. Even with iron sights i can hit steel at 100 yards.
Mine is very accurate I shoot dimes at 50 yards
The SKS kinda looks like an AK, to the extent that the gas system and barrel look to be that from an AK, slapped on to a magazine-fed Mosin Nagant. Crazy.
Actually, it's the other way around. SKS predated AKs by 2 years (SKS was invented in 1945). I think AK was made to look like SKS , but with totally different gas piston system (SKS uses short-stroke piston, AKs uses long-stroke piston that suspiciously looked similar to M1 Garand)
@@muhammadnursyahmi9440 Yeah, Brandon Herrera did say that Kalashnikov was inspired by the the long-stroke piston design of John Garand's M1 Rifle. I should've known the SKS was made in 1945, BTW.
Kalashnikov top.
Ill take both thank you very much hahaha.
But seriously if shit was really was hitring the fan id want my sks. Its truly is the ultimate survival.tool and i choose ot over my ar 15 and ak 47
While I like my SKS and AK if you live in the US then and AR platform or an AK that shoots 5.56 is more practical. Reason is 5.56 Ammo is more abundant in US and can be found in every NG Armory or Police Station. Same cannot be said for 7.62x39.
Both sound the same, love the SKS but Ak-47 takes the cake.
You can make that sks even better
Good video🤩
I am a old fashion military trained man. Don't like assault rifles, their change marksmanship for high volume fire rate. Also are very unconfortables in prone position. In this case, let me the SKS
Matatan.⭐🤔⭐. Ribirin HS,
SKS is better than AK 47
...I went for the one that has mostly machined parts and a screwed-in barrel...
The accuracy is completely subjective.
Darn, all you needed to do next was a bayonet charge. ^_^
Funny comparison. Hello to the author, make videos more often.
SKS for Civilian Komunis Pastisan, AK 47 For Military...
Design wise and my personal favorite weapon in video games I think the AK wins. I mean I don't think there's anything more satisfying than pulling the bolt back to chamber around in the AK-47 (Besides maybe the m1 Garands clip ejection noise)
very nice sound effects 😀
thank you
I got them both,and I love them :-)
У вас правая ключица титановая?
If you convert sks like a serial military automatic rifle, I wonder how durable the firearm is.
(Suppose you use military bullets.)
The table took one for the team xD
SKS is the winner :)
SKSって目方が3kgないと思ってたのですが、地味に重たいのですね('ω')
あと、射手さん、射撃上手ですね。あっしだったら初弾以外は全て右上に流れる
自信があります('ω')
I own both of these rifles, and they have about the same performance. The AK47 is faster and lighter, but the SKS is more accurate. I love them both. If you ever get the opportunity to shoot these rifles, you should give it a try! They will put a big smile on your face.
Me too bro
AK.
SKS is the winner in this contest, accuracy beats anything in a pinch..."Fast is fine, but accuracy is final".
The upper half (barrel) of the guns both look pretty identical….
My SKS and AK both take the same ammo, of course their penetrating power will be identical
SKS.
