M4 vs AK47; which is deadlier?

After close observation I noticed something. I think they would both be extremely painful and might even kill.

The hot table is clearly the deadliest because it is doing the most damage to the ballistics gel

I love that you get a special forces AR vs a barebones AK. It feels like the literal definition of each gun lol

During my basic training I graduated my rifleman specialization with the AKM. What a lovely rifle! Very accurate up to 300m, but after that it becomes kinda difficult due to the recoil and slow round. However, it feels very good to shoot it, like you can tell it was made for war, not for piercing paper. After tranisition to 5,56 platform it felt like having a toy. It was much easier to handle the 5,56 when you are already good with the AKM.

In my experience, neither are deadly, the only truly deadly caliber I have ever encountered was the 9mm, it had the power to blow the lung out of the body, meanwhile, the AK47 and M4A1 only inflict flesh wounds. EDIT: Guys its just a stupid joke, your taking me way to seriously.

The 5.56 round that destroyed the head was because of the extended magazine that let's you shoot a 50 caliber clip per bullet and that Lazer makes sure you never miss.

Dummy: falls in half Him: appears to be a pretty devastating wound

What I really respect is that the M4 has been engineered to be good but the AKM simply is good within its designed parameters and considering the fact that it is in fact a 70 year old rifle I think that says something. And to be fair, the M16A1 pattern also is quite good of itself and its drip is unmatched

Ignorance about firearms is the deadliest.

After watching this, it just confirms what I have always believed : I don't want to get hit with either round!

I can’t wait to see tests at ranges 100-300 yds. If you guys can do ballistics dummies at that range it’d be epic.

Loving that 13:10-13:11 ThumbpScare, very much cool thank you.

Either round is going to be painful or worse than painful but what really hurts is not seeing Charlie in a video for such a long time.

What often gets missed is that the vast majority of shooting is at unknown distances and is suppressive five. That favors flatter shooting rounds and more capacity for a given weight. The Russians saw what the m16 did and went to the ak-74 for a reason.

for me, this video shows the importance of knowing what your ammo is capable of alongside your weapon

When I first started watching this I was thinking it won't be a true test without Hornaday and the 8m3 style projectiles..this is why your the best channel. A shed a small tear when you broke those out.

You guys should put something over the gel so it gets some shade so it doesn't melt in the sun. The black table you are using heats up also through the clear gel. The gel is soft after heating up in the sun which may cause inacurate data. A white table should help keep the gel cooler also.

The deadliest thing in this video is Mike's smile

Tac medic here: since you mentioned it and didn’t expand I thought I would 🤷🏻‍♂️. Tension pneumothorax, commonly known as collapsed lung is a form of obstructive shock when air gathers in the pleural cavity and builds pressure against the lung, which can prevent expansion of the lung. As the pressure builds more it will apply pressure the heart and cause a shift in the mediastinum, kinking the vena cava and dropping the preload of the heart, which will eventually prevent the next heart beat and the casualty will die if not recognized and treated rapidly. Commonly caused by penetrating or blunt force trauma to the chest cavity. Recognition: blunt force or penetrating trauma to the chest, diminished or absent lung sounds on the affected side, progressive shortness of breath, altered mental status, tracheal deviation, unequal chest rise and fall, decreased spo2. Treatment: seal penetrating trauma with chest seals (check for and seal exit wound), needle decompression at the 2nd intercostal space mid clavicular or 5th intercostal space mid axillary, finger thoracostomy, chest tube. Hope that helps someone.

My first fighting type rifle was a Romanian WSAR-10/63. As ergonomic as the AR-15 pattern rifles are, the AKM is still the rifle I will always gravitate to more. It's like an old friend. I would not feel the least bit undergunned with either platform though. They are both fine weapons.
