Hi everyone,
I will purchase an AK in Europe and I would like to ask for your advice.
I live in Switzerland, great country, great laws. However seeing what is happening with the subversion of the European people through import of Muslim and African society, we will have a conflict in some form - so why not get ready and have fun at the same time! Next to shooting for fun and learning the skill, this would be my "oh SHIT" gun which, if need be, I'd use to keep the family safe and get out of nasty situations if they arise.
I would like to get your opinion on which of the two below would be better suited for an urban combat, semi CQB (living just outside major city) situation. There are a few key questions I'd like to ask:
No need to answer all questions, but if you have some knowledge, I'm eager to hear it.
The weapons in questions are from SDM (Sino Defense Manufacturing).
I heard that they are supposed to be an off-shoot of Chinese Norincos, but sold under a different name in Europe - rough around the edges, but good for their price.
Has anyone here heard anything about SDMs? How are Norincos perceived?
Initially this one caught my eye - AK104 with an extendable stock and rail-grip for accessories. Looks cool.

While on the shooting range, I came across this one - AK103 with foldable stock

Now I am slightly torn. The AK103 seems like a better rifle because of the longer barrel and the foldable stock makes it easier to transport and I heard in extreme CQB it might even come in handy.
On the other hand I really like the compact size of the AK104 and I think a grip might definitely come in handy. Plus it really looks nice, can't help myself there.
Considering the situation, which one would you go for? And why?
Thanks for your advice and keep in touch!
Best regards,
Andi

I would like to get your opinion on which of the two below would be better suited for an urban combat, semi CQB (living just outside major city) situation. There are a few key questions I'd like to ask:
- What does an urban combat situation consist of? What guns can be considered "ideal" (shotguns, snipers, pistols, carbines, ...?)
- Barrel length - longer barrels equal higher bullet velocity, better accuracy and harder impact on target; is it worth sacrificing for maneuverability (example 10cm/4" in AKs)?
- Would a shorter AK104 perform considerably worse at a mid-range engagement (100-150m) than the AK103?
- CQB - foldable full stock or an extendable one? Let's say room clearing: do you fold your stock or use it normally?
- Mods - AK104 allows me to put grips and flashlights on the forward grip, something I think helps the ergonomics (judging by my M4 airsoft at least). How important are those compared to a longer barrel in an urban combat scenario? As for optics, I could get a siderail mount for the AK, and I believe I even prefer the aimdot closer to my eye.
- Transporatation - the main benefit of a foldable stock is transportation (either to the range or in SHTF situations in cars and concealment perhaps) - any comments on the latter?
