That's what I keep telling people about AKs. I'll take the AK made at the factory that has been doing it for decades, has the proper Soviet TDP, has had their product tested in troop trials, and has had their product proven by hundreds of thousands if not millions in military use over the course of decades. US made AKs are reverse engineered, commercial products made for the goal of generating a profit. They have never had troop trials and they have never been used by a military force.
I'll take such a foreign MP5 over a US one, even if the item is a little on the ugly side fit and finish wise.
In both cases you're comparing a Class III weapon to a commercially manufactured semi automatic weapon.
