    7.62x39 may be heavier, slower and fatter. Yet, in FMJ at typical combat distances, it’s pretty hard to beat. Especially in brush fighting.

    I never heard of soft point bullets before I got into 7.62x39, but in this case they work FANTASTIC compared to hollow points in this caliber. Watching gel tests, hollow points acted just like FMJ, I suspect because the hole in the tip is just too small. However, SOFT POINTS behaved the way you expect a hollow point to do so. It opens up into a mushroom. Granted, it is not consistent in it's mushrooming, but it flattens out on impact. It is devastating.

      Never had a box of Remington core loks in your whole life????? Damn that’s like only ammo I’ve had to use in every rifle since I was 10 and my grandad gave me his 30 30 , but my 308 270 and the 30 06 like every gun I’ve ever hunted with I’ve used the same green box of ammo haha nowdays there’s so much marketing with the Hornady and Barnes company making crazy bullets but with hunting I was always taught make sure the bullet doesn’t blow up into pieces you want a entrance and a exit that way they bleed out , or worse case leave a blood trail you can find .
      I’ve took every deer I’ve ever shot with Remington coreloks I’ve never shot a deer and had em run away though hell I never knew that was a thing till I got older and talk to people who mentioned it my guess is they using bullets that blow up and don’t puncture through the chest cavity on the back side . I haven’t bought any 7.62 x39 yet but it would be a great candidate for hunting with its sectional density be very close with 30 30 with a good soft point bullet that expands and stays together .

      Stopping power is the most arbitrary bit of fuddlore ever conceived - it cannot be quantified. However, if you're comparing the effectiveness of 5.56 and 7.62x39 ball ammo against soft targets, the former blows the latter out of the water because mass only gives you 1/2 the return of the exponential gains you get from velocity.

It will give you with 95% maximum velocity from a foot of tube. A 223/556 typically requires 18 inches to get within 95% of maximum achievable velocity with commercial or military ammo.

All the 9mm and 223/556 was gone. There was still plenty of 7.62x39 available at around 50c/rd. I asked dude "is there a limit on 762?"....he says "nope"

      Yup I went for ammo few weeks ago 1000 round of wolf gold .223 was like $1300 or $1400 got 1000 round of tula 7.62x39 for $400. There people lined up for ammo and don’t even own a gun. Guy ahead of me asked if they still had ammo for an AR15. Dude at the counter asked what caliber he replied just regular AR15 ammo. The guy at the counter lied and told him were all out. I got to the counter and asked for .223 or 5.56 they still had a good amount. He told me people been coming in there like that quite often. He can tell they probably don’t own a gun but buy up cases of ammo mostly 5.56 .223 9mm .22LR or .45acp more than likely to resell it at a much higher price. He said he tries not to sell to them if it’s obvious they going to resell it.

    7.62x39 can do everything rounds like 300 blackout can do. With the proper loading, you can launch a heavy subsonic bullet. 300 blackout (and I know I’m about to piss off the AR guys, no hate to AR rifles) is for AR guys that defend 5.56 and talk trash about 7.62x39, but they don’t realize 300 blackout is inferior in terms of loadings and cost. Yes, I understand that parts are very interchangeable with .300 blackout and 5.56 AR rifles.

    The 5.56 (military-grade) typically weighs between 55gr and 63gr. The 55gr was the initial design, but was quickly superceded by 63gr around sometime in the (mid to late) 70's (due to the latter having semi armor-piercing capability).

      The Russian 7.62, on the other hand, was basically designed to blow right through obstacles.
      The overall size and weight of the bullet really lend well to that purpose, resulting in a significant transfer of energy onto the target.
      That last part also translates to greater damage inflicted.

    I love both equally for different reasons. But if I absolutely had to pick, I would choose the AK platform with 7.62 x 39m It just has a longer, better history of being more reliable overall (Don't tell me about that video of the AK and AR being put through mud and other things, and the AR working better, you would need to run that same test many times over to get an accurate result). The AK and by extension the 7.62 have shown that they run better on the battlefield in nearly every condition and keep going. I love my AR chambered in 5.56, but the AK will always be my personal go to weapon in a SHTF situation.

    It would be nice to see someone discuss distance, drop and accuracy of the two rounds without the context of their typical rifles. In other word the ak47 is typically regarded as a less accurate rifle than the ar15. Ruger now produces a bolt action in 556, 763.39, 300aac, and 6,5 gren. So one would think that a rifle such as that would be fairly standard for each round. It would be awesome to see some range time at different distances with each round.

    Get the best of both worlds with an AK-102, personally I believe a 12.5" is the best balance between ballistics, maneuverability, and weight with the undeniable reliability of the AK platform.

    You can go AR for 223 and 5.56 but also for 7.62x39, I only know this because I bought one lol so if you don't like an AK or just like the AR more but want the 7.62x39 round you're in luck

That’s a longtime the old ak isn’t going away their still out their being used and stored and more are being made every day! I’d bet theirs more 7.62x39 fighting rifles then not in the whole of the world. I live in Tennessee theirs no where to shoot more then 300 yds I’ve shot it out to 600 but that’s the most extreme most shots are 100 or less

      @TheTGRproductions Год назад

      The 7.62 x 39 has slightly more recoil than 5.56 x 45, but it's not really by much. I personally like the recoil of the 7.62 more, because it's light enough where a child can shoot it (and they do). But the round is powerful enough to put down nearly anything infront of you, including some larger animals. I can't say the same for 5.56, though it still has its advantages. So all-in-all, there isn't really that much of a difference, they're both relatively light in recoil when compared to rounds like .308 or 30-06.
