- nickpinkston 16y agoYea, sounds like you've never used one in humidity (even after a few mags) - hell or even one not cleaned and left in storage for a while. I've had them jam on me more than I can remember. There's a reason all of them come with an "assist" that let's your force the bolt closed. If ammo quality (ball powder anyone?) is bad they'll jam on you constantly. The AK doesn't need an assist, good ammo, or really even oil or cleaning. They're built so you can worry about staying alive - not cleaning...
- cullenking 16y agoI'll admit, I'd rather swim in the mud with an AK rather than an AR, but if your AR (assuming it was issued?) was finicky enough to jam in humidity or because it hadn't been cleaned after an outing, then you had a bad AR. The direct impingement system pros outweigh the cons for all but the serious mudbath situations where you also forget your cleaning kit
