Short barrel AR or AK 47 which to buy?

I have a pretty typical 16" barrel AR. I shoot just for fun with my buddies or whatever. I've been thinking of getting another rifle. I'm interested in a short AR. Like a 7" barrel. Also really want an AK. Does the short barrel AR shoot any differently or quicker than a 16"? The short AR runs about $400. AK is $500. Which would you buy and why?

A 7” barrel 5.56 AR is retarded short, it will be godawful loud and have a huge muzzle flash while producing extremely shitty bullet velocities. Same with the AK pistol, however, most AK pistols have barrels a little longer than that and the AK is less affected by the shorter barrel because 7.62x39 fires a slower, heavier bullet that retains more energy.

Both are going to be extremely loud and have crazy muzzle flash. Would recommend running with a suppressor, but that causes overgassing issues to arise, which can usually be solved by either an adjustable gas block or an adjustable bolt carrier group.

I built an AR off and 80% lower I had. I built it extremely cheap so that I could keep it in my truck. Have a 10.5” barrel on it and a KAK shockwave brace. I was told on here that 10.5” was about as short as you’d want to go.
It’s fun to shoot but it is loud.

I just built a 7.5” barreled .300 blackout. It’s awesome
Slap a suppressor on it and you’ll think you’re shooting a .22

Is a 10.5" ar more practical and functional or still the same issues? If I got an AK it would just be a stock AK. Not one of those short ones. Thanks for the input everyone.

Research alot on new AK47. There is a lot of junk out there. AVOID Century Arms for most part.

Yea those really short barrels only really make sense with .300 blackout coupled with a suppressor. I have an 8” SBR in .300 blk and it’s nice that even with a big suppressor it’s still shorter than a normal 16” AR-15.
