And I don't disagree with you. I hated the M16 as a service rifle. Almost two decades later, I'm warming up to the idea of buying at AR (or at least a couple of lowers).

Even though I don't own one now, I do appreciate their versatility, and the fact that they can be outstandingly accurate. And you're not limited to a single caliber -- the 7.62x39 certainly has many limitations too.

Here's one important difference between AKs and ARs: when you own an AK, you own one rifle. But when you own an AR, you can own a closet full of guns.

Turning that AR into a completely different rifle is as simple as taking 30 seconds to swap the upper half. You can go from .223 to .243, all the way up to .50 Beowulf. You can go from a 16.5" tactical shorty with a red dot sight, to a 24" heavy target rifle with bipod and big scope. The sighting system and barrel move as a single unit, so it always stays zeroed.

The AR is extremely versatile.
