I just can't see any SMG having better accuracy than an assault rifle, no matter how inaccurate the rifle is in relation to other rifles. That being said, I do not yet have any experience with the AK-47 although I hope to change this in a few weeks. Another thing about your post, why not invest a hundred dollars for a decent rifle scope for an AK-47? It's not exactly a major investment. Finally, I've seen an AK reliably hit a human sized target from over 600 meters once a scope and new barrel had been installed, an AK chambered with 7.62x39. Not all ammo is the same level of quality. Wolf manufactures 7.62x39 rounds that as far as I can tell are accurate, clean and have additional stopping power.

An MP5 will be more accurate than a regular AK-47 chambered in 7.62x39 at 100 yards. That's not an opinion or dependent on the shooter. It just is. Not comparing range or stopping power here obviously; that's not the point. Obviously any centerfire rifle cartridge beats any pistol round south of impractial hand cannon chamberings. 

Take a Valmet or a Galil or any custom type AK and you have a different contest. Again, that's not the point. Naturally, a $2,000 AK is going to shoot circles around a $400 one. 

And no, I wouldn't put a $1,000+ Swarovski or Leupold scope on a $400 AK either. 

FYI: Wolf ammo is cheap, but you get what you pay for. Nobody buys it for the accuracy.

"I've seen an AK reliably hit a human sized target from over 600 meters once a scope and new barrel had been installed, an AK chambered with 7.62x39"

That I'd like to see. Anyone capable of that can shoot the same or better with any rifle of their choice. 

The claim would be more believable had you said you'd seen an SVD chambered in 7.62x54R reliably hit a human sized target over 600 meters. They may look similar, but they are not. 


hmm, I said a $100 scope, not $1,000 :/

Undoubtedly a great marksman can make the shot with any rifle, was just stating that the AK platform is capable of reliably making shots greater than 400 meters with some investment. I'm certain it was an AK chamebered with 7.62x39mm, I guess I'll eventually find out for myself when I get to try one out with a 20'' barrel and decent scope. If I was misinformed about Wolf Ammo is there an alternative that you would recomend? Thanks in advance.
