I'm trying to trade my USP for something and have recently started thinking about AK's seriously.
I like the ballistics of the smaller round. Recoil is much less significant, you can carry more of the rounds, and with ammo prices what they are - the 5.45x39 is selling for the same prices or less than 7.62x39.
But is it as reliable as the famed AKM it replaced?
I know it's essentially the same rifle, but does the ammo or actual execution result in something less reliable than the AKM? Or can I expect it to be pretty much the most dependable rifle out there using Wolf ammo?
Any other differences I should know about? Any countries I should stay away from because they don't chrome the barrels or something?
Thanks.
