AK or M16? AR-15 for 7.62x39!!!
All of us are perfectly aware of the oldest and longest debate among
tactical weapon professionals and fans regarding which rifle caliber is
the best in practice and detail. Some of us believe AK is the most
functional. Others that M16 rifles are the best. And all of us give
hundreds and hundreds arguments to support one way or another. All we
know, this dispute might never end. Until now.
Today, we have an amazing possibility to unite all positive characteristics of AK and M16 in one weapon, the one called 7.62x39.

5.56mm vs 6.8mm: YOU DECIDE!
There has been long running debate over which is the most effective
round and what our ground troops should be using, 5.56mm x 45, or 6.8mm x
43 SPC.
Well, for me, that’s a no brainer – 6.8mm of course.
Why? Because of its terminal effects! In layman’s terms terminal ballistics is how the projectile reacts and what damage it causes when it strikes the target.
But don’t let me influence you in any way with my opinion; I’d like you to put your reasons forward as to which round you think is more suited for our troops.
The 6.8 SPC round has the same energy at 250 yards as the M855 has at the muzzle. At 600 yards it has the same energy as a 7.62mm M43 at 275 yards, M193 at 250 yards and M855 at 375 yards. Since the 6.8mm is of a larger calibre and greater sectional density than the 5.56mm, it will use this energy more effectively when producing terminal damage. Performance can be increased slightly by using 110gr ammunition, giving you more velocity and less bullet drop over range.
The lower velocity of the 115gr ammunition combined with more kinetic energy makes this round less susceptible to deflection from soft cover such as foliage, shooting through glass (in the case of vehicle interdictions) and chest rigs.
6.8mm upper receivers will fit AR lowers, but you will need to change the bolt though and use specific 6.8 mags. I have fired 6.8 SPC ammunition from 5.56mm magazines but the heat that was generated expanded the mags – causing stoppages. The tolerances inside the mag are quite tight because the 6.8 cartridge is bigger in diameter. Although the calibre is larger, the difference in recoil is hardly evident and is quite controllable when engaged in rapid fire.
Ok, 6.8 will significantly increase your chances of neutralization or incapacitation with a first round strike. It goes without saying that different types of projectiles will produce different results, and that shot placement is still the key no matter what type of round is used. However, we can’t always achieve this, so the introduction of a large caliber that fills the gap between 5.56mm and 7.62mm is vital for the safety of our troops and is necessary in our fight against terrorism.
My guess is that money is the overriding problem. But perhaps it would work out cheaper to supply something that will do the job more efficiently without wasting ammunition…or lives!!

5.56mm and 6.8mm Rounds: The Facts
There are many ballistic charts that you can view on the web, most showing that velocity is reasonably similar between the 5.56mm and 6.8mm rounds. Compare a 77gr 5.56mm projectile against the 115gr 6.8 and it is very close indeed, however kinetic energy is anywhere from 40-50% greater at shorter ranges, and up to 35% out to 600 yards.The 6.8 SPC round has the same energy at 250 yards as the M855 has at the muzzle. At 600 yards it has the same energy as a 7.62mm M43 at 275 yards, M193 at 250 yards and M855 at 375 yards.

8 Best Long-Range Magnum Cartridges Ever Made
by | January 5th, 2015
There are a whole lot of reasons why naysayers knock magnums, and some of their complaints are legitimate. Yes, magnums burn more powder than standard cartridges. Yes, they have increased recoil and muzzle blast. And, yes, they generally cost more to shoot. But for long shots on big game, magnums certainly have their place. Over the years there have been a number of quality rounds introduced that bear the magnum moniker.
In general, magnums refer to large, belted cartridges that are an increase in power above “standard” cartridges like the .270 and .30-06, though there are no strict rules regarding the name. Some cartridges, like the 7mm Shooting Times Westerner and the new .26 Nosler, certainly feature magnum-class speed and power without the name.
This list looks at eight great cartridges that bear the magnum title and have served dutifully from the plains of Africa to the peaks of the Himalayas. No matter the game, when you need a flat-shooting, hard-hitting cartridge these magnums get the job done.
Many of these cartridges were spawned during the “magnum craze” of the mid-20th century, but they date back as far as the 1940s, and one of them appeared on the scene as recently as 2002.
But these cartridges all share one thing in common—they are proven on big game at long ranges.

SIG Sauer Announces Supersonic .300 Blackout Ammunition
SIG Sauer has announced a new addition to its nascent ammunition line: Supersonic .300 Blackout. Loaded with 125gr Sierra MatchKing projectiles, this load rounds out the SIG-branded .300 Blackout for their MCX rifle. From the press release:
Newington, NH – SIG SAUER, Inc., designer and manufacturer of the world’s most reliable firearms, accessories, and ammunition, is pleased to announce its new 300 Blackout Supersonic Elite Performance Ammunition Match Grade Centerfire Cartridges. This supersonic round features a 125gr Sierra Matchking projectile and, like the SIG SAUER 220gr subsonic 300 Blackout round, is designed to bring out the best in today’s high-performance AR rifles.The Sierra Matchking projectiles in the 300 Blackout supersonic rounds are renowned for their superior accuracy, flat trajectory and consistent point of impact. The unique hybrid hollow point bullet design also ensures maximum expansion on point of impact. These cartridges feature match grade brass cases and function with standard 223Remington/5.56mm magazines without a reduction in capacity.“The 300 Blackout is an increasingly popular caliber with target shooters and 3-gun competition shooters, and is also an excellent round for home defense in short barrel rifles, including the SIG MCX and M400,” said Bud Fini, vice president of marketing for SIG SAUER. “Elite military units are also evaluating the 300 Blackout as their primary CQB load. More modern sporting rifle hunters are turning to the 300 Blackout for close-range hunting of mid-sized game, including hogs and deer. We are pleased to now offer our customers both supersonic and subsonic rounds to meet their shooting and hunting needs.”All Elite Performance Ammunition is manufactured in the United States
.300 Blackout in its supersonic form is ballistically very similar to the old 7.92×33 Kurz round, both in energy and trajectory. The primary ballistic difference lies in the very long ogive, necessitated for proper feeding from AR-15 magazines originally designed for longer-cased 5.56mm ammunition.

AK- 47 and It's History
Many people who play video games
know about the AK-47. It is a staple in some of the biggest first person
shooters on the market and in some cases it is the highest ranked gun you can
get in the game. It has earned this level of prestige because of its legendary
hard knock design and the ability to perform without complaint even after
sitting for years. It is battle hardened and used throughout the world and in
some of the harshest conditions, but many people do not actually know that much
about this rifle. The origins of its design, along with its construction, are
why it seems to just keep going even decades after it was pressed off of the
line.
The Origins
The AK-47 was designed and created
by Avtomat Kalashnikova, who is the AK in AK-47. He was a Russian who designed
the rifle in order to give the infantry a more dependable gun in the field. One
that could take a beating without much complaint. Now to say that Kalashnikova
wasn't influenced by other rifles would be wrong, the AK was heavy influenced
by the German Sturmgewehr 44. When you compare the two rifles you can see where
the AK inherited some of its design. Also, the 47 stands for 1947, when it was made,
and it is tradition that every AK have the year it was made incorporated with
its name.
Construction
One of the main reasons that the AK
has been such a successful platform is due to the fact that it is a gas powered
gun. This means that the gun uses the gasses given off from when it is fired in
order to operate the receiver. This allows the gun to be very fast, but it also
means that the gun may even operate even after being submerged. This design
along with the chromed barrel and receiver meant that the gun was very
dependable.
In a nut shell, there you have it,
where the gun came from and why it is one of the most dependable rifles in the
world.

AR-15 FAQ
Question: What does AR15 stand for?
Answer: It stands for ArmaLite Model 15. The AR15 is a
popular semi-automatic rifle manufactured by the following companies: Colt,
Ambush, Olympic Arms, American Spirit Arms, Rock River Arms, and ArmaLite Inc.
The AR 15 usually has a pistol grip (although this was considered an optional
accessory until 2004), and a wide variety of customizable options.
Question: I understand M-16s and AR
15s are pretty similar. Are there different directions for cleaning AR15s and
M-16s?
Answer: No, the cleaning, reassembly, and takedown for both
rifles are the same. The M-16 is derived from the AR 15, and it is a popular
rifle that is used by the US Military.
Question: Is it legal in the United
States to own or purchase an AR15 with a pistol grip, a flash suppressor,
bayonet lugs, and / or collapsible stocks?
Answer: Yes, as of 2004, it is legal in most states. You
should check with your state to make sure, however, as there are still a few
states that prohibit purchasing an AR 15 with these features. From 1994 to
2004, the sale of AR 15s with these accessory features was restricted to
military personnel and law enforcement personnel only. The Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 made it illegal to purchase an AR 15
with these features, although it was considered legal to own a gun with these
features that you had bought before the law was passed. Since the Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 has expired, most states in the US
allow you to purchase a AR 15 rifle with flash suppressors, collapsible stocks,
a pistol grip, and bayonet lugs.
Question: Can I use military 5.56 x
45 mm. ammunition made for M-16 in my non-military-issued AR-15?
Answer: Not recommended because there have been
so many cases in which the military ammunition jams in the non-military AR-15.
This is due to a slight difference between a M-16 and an AR-15. The AR-15 has a
slightly tighter throat area than the military issued M-16, causing a difference
in the chamber pressure and thus causing the malfunction. If you have used
military ammunition in an AR15 and the gun has jammed on you, it can be
difficult to fix. In order to correct the problem, it is necessary to take
apart the rifle and taking out the jammed primer.

How to Improve Your Shooting Tips - Moriarti Armaments
When you are at the range and you
line your gun up down range, you want nothing more than to hit center mass on
the target, or put the bullet where you want it to hit. You can have all of the
best tech, the best weather conditions, and the most expensive gun on the
market; but none of that means anything if you don't know how to properly
shoot. It takes a lot of skill to be able to put that bullet into the mark you
need to hit and here are some tips on how you can accomplish this very feat!
Breathe!
When you are going to shoot
something you put the barrel on the target, put your finger on the trigger, and
fire, right? That isn't it completely, not by a long shot, and you will miss by
a long shot if you don't time your shots between your breaths. Breathing can
throw off your accuracy so either learning your breathing rhythm or hold your
breath when you are going to fire and you will find your shots landing where
they should.
Don't Pull, Squeeze
When we pull the trigger we are
making our lives a little harder. Pulling the trigger puts extra stress on the
rifle and this can also decrease your accuracy. Putting the stress of moving
the trigger on your finger by squeezing it down will make the action smoother
and therefore will not pull you off target.
