Unfortunately no Dragunov (SVD), its a PSL, no RPD either rather an RPK. There is an S12 though!

AK's can be stuck in mud and still fire. However I am not a big fan of them. I prefer an M16. However if you want the large caliber of the AK I would MUCH rather have an M1A or hell, even an original M1 Garand. I am curious to listen to the audio.

I am still amazed at the price difference of the two rifles.Sometimes I can find two AK'S for the price of one AR.

well there is a definate quality difference most of the time. AR15s are generally built to much higher standards and are much more accurate than an AK within their own ranges of course. The AK has a much longer range but it is built to trake a beating, not for precision and accuracy. Now, a good M1A is an expensive rifle but it is very well built and has amazing accuracy considering it is a semi-automatic rifle. Some snipers in Vietnam used the M1 for sniping. Springfield makes the M1A and you can't go wrong with Springfield.

That's kind of what I thought but the AK still seems to be more popular.
