多年前，Ezra Coli在网络上写下一篇文章，列举了许多关于AR,AK和莫辛甘纳步枪的各种对比，文风幽默搞笑，但不失为一篇了解这三种步枪的佳文。国内各大网站也有转载，但很多都是转载，而且基本同出一处，因此也有些错误的地方同样以讹传讹。小编也觉得此文有些值得大家细赏鉴，因此斗胆收集编译部分。以飨各位轻武器军迷朋友们！
There's an ever present, unending debate over which is best, ARs or AKs, raging across the internet and in gun shops every day sending bile and bitter insults spewing both ways. This debate has turned fathers against sons, best friends against one another, and........ well you get the point. 在各位枪迷心中一直都存在着永无休止的关于AK系列和AR系列哪个更好的争论，从互联网上到枪械商店中几乎每天都有人为这个问题互相发泄怒气或酸溜溜地挖苦对方。这个问题使父子成仇，好友反目……行，你抓住要点了。
The author is of the opinion that there are of course pros and cons to each family of rifle, and I refuse to engage in what is "best". As one who loves them all, especially the AK and AR series, I thought I'd pass on some of the knowledge I have gained over the years concerning these wildly different weapons. 本文作者的观点是，每个枪族无疑都有优点和缺点，并且我没法指出哪个是“最好的”。作为一个爱着所有枪械，尤其是AK系列和AR系列的人，我想我最好传授一些这些年来我从研究这些完全不同的武器中所汲取的知识。
As a bonus, I'll toss in my knowledge of another favorite family of weapons at the Bunker, just because they are very popular these days and I often ramble about them. So, here, for the aid of those hammering one another in the debate, is some unbiased, non-slanted, untainted raw knowledge about the AK, the AR, and the Mosin Nagant.
作为奖励，我会添加一些关于另一阵营中最受喜爱的枪族的私货，仅仅是因为现在它们非常流行且我经常接触。以下是为了给在辩论中打起来的人们以参考的，一些不偏不倚的、平衡的、未经污蔑的关于AK、AR与莫辛·纳甘（偷懒的时候会简写成MN）的知识。
