This video compares the M14 rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO and the AK-47 in 7.62x39mm, highlighting their distinct design philosophies and historical contexts. The M14, developed for long-range European combat, proved ill-suited for the jungle warfare of Vietnam due to its weight and unmanageable full-auto fire. Conversely, the AK-47, designed for tactical close-quarters combat with a focus on reliability and ease of use, became a globally ubiquitous firearm. The presenter demonstrates shooting both rifles, emphasizing the AK-47's superior controllability in full-automatic fire and its effectiveness in its intended role.
