I always thought the advantage of the AK-47

was that it's easy to field-strip and will still fire even after being left in the mud or in the underbrush. While it wasn't as accurate or powerful as the M16, it also wasn't as complex or (relatively) delicate.

I am sorry to say I don't know from the AK-74 - does it continue the AK-47's famous ease and reliability?
