i have both great guns also add any of the styer range to your list

Stonewolf

Get a G36 instead, M4 and AK are common and boring

swiftblade

Why does this question keep coming up? Its like saying which is better "Ice cream or pie"? They both have their good points and flaws.

Wish i could!
Just after getting a loan of a friends Ak47, - he just bought an M4. The Ak's not a bad rifle, high ROF but the ability to add an acog & 203 isn't as good compared to the M4

ROF greatly depends on what brand, upgrades and battery. The AK can also be equipped with a rail for mounting sights on. In airsoft an underbarrel grenade launcher is a heavy expensive ornament that makes your gun awkward and front heavy which occasionally functions as a one shot big dirty shotgun. You can buy underbarrel launchers for the AK easily.

tonyj_mc

to be honest both AEGs are pretty much the same on the inside and work in the same way. the ROF and FPS are dependant on the manufacture and model you buy, not to mention type of battery used. Best bet is to buy the one you like the look of and then go from there.

Both AEGs are stupidly customisable, M4 is slighlty easier to do with RIS rails but its up to you

The most reliable aeg iv ever owned was a cyma ak47! With over 300,000 bb's through it with out a jam, stoppage or even a blown fuse, I couldn't fault it!

Masada

Get the M4, cos if you get the AK you'll be supporting terrorism.


nah but id go with the M4 for ergonomics and the AK for a better designed gearbox. really depends on the brand of the guns you are comparing though.,

If someone posts a link to that M4 AK hybrid I will boil thier eyes in the urine of phractal and serve it in a temple barf takeaway...


Personally, both guns perform rather similarly. There is no real advantage or disadvantage, the OP wants one or the other, not 'oh they are boring get an aug/g36/mp5/sig/new toaster.

AK

Advantages:

Hopup is one of the most stable in airsoft
v3 gearbox... nice, stable
good long barrel, 460mm
comfortable to shoot and shoulder
good iron sights
motor cage - rarely locks anti reversal latch, partly due to motor stability, partly due to v3 design

Disadvantages:

big mags
no ris (I'm being practical, i'd put this in advantages personally!)
limited batteries depending on model
long gun


M4

Advantages:

Huge variety of option parts
easy to customise
medium length weapon
ajustable stock length for shooter
easy to add accessories
smaller mags
common: Can share mags in the field if you run out
comfortable to shoulder

Disadvantages:

not one of the best hopups
gearboxes have been known to shear the front off with heavy use
lack of motorcage - Prone to occasionally locking the anti reversal latch on low battery operation
If you are into hicaps, the mags are small... 300 rounds vs ak 600



Overall, the two have thier share of pros and cons. I tried to keep that as impatial as possible to advise you without bias. Personally? I own both... I like both equally. The 'lol ak suxor' and 'm4 is lego gun of capitalist' crap from both camps is annoying. I use m4s for american loadouts, AKs for russian ones... Both are good dependant on brand, and both can be bad. Overall... Its down to your personal choice. At this FPS limit, both operate and perform pretty much identically. So which do YOU like more?

Stercus Accidit

The AK47 in airsoft is the type 3 generation, obsolete, TM chose it for god knows what reason and others followed suit.

The most popular real ak is the AKM, the model just after ak47 type 3, get a new cyma full steel akm with laminated furniture, it is THE ak of choice for the old school weapon. It is what you see on tv etc. and most call it ak47, but the AKM is the main one manufactured to this day in many countries with little variation.

The AKSU is a more modern compact model, popular in airsoft, then theres the whole ak74 series, and the latest 100 series, ak104 etc.


M4's are grand but common as muck, hence, I sold mine after two or so games and got a few ak's.

Firekitten

As much as I agree and I understood that Sam, these are philistines... they don't know the finer subtle details of the Kalashnikov.

In airsoft terms, every ak is the same internally pretty much bar mm in the barrel differences.

Anyone who saw the new Universal soldier film may have noticed they are using something similar as a primary weapon of the US soldiers.
