Anyone here prefer a 74 over a 47? Ammo online is about the same. I’m curious as too if there are any major benefits over the 47

I learned to shoot using army issue RPK74.
Recoil is less than 5.56. Better bullet than M193 or M885 if you use 7n6 or 7n10 (second not available in US). Carry more ammo for the same weight.
7.62x39 has better penetration thru concrete. Some of Russian spec switched to 7.62x39 during the first Chechnya war. Better suited for urban warfare.
I love 5.45, but long term ammo availbility for me and my kids was always a concern, so I am sticking with 7.62x39

Dang, they got that moving slow, but it is a heavy hitter at 196 grains VS the standard 123 grain



Brown Bear’s 7.62x39 Subsonic ammunition is constructed with a proprietary powder blend, topped with a 196-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet. The performance is nothing short of exceptional.

Muzzle Energy E0, J (ft/lb.)734 (541)
