>>6122Long-stroke piston of the AK is inherently less accurate compared to short-stroke piston like in vz-58 and nearly all other modern rifles and the stoner internal piston, but i don't think it's rly enough of a difference to matter that much for riflemen, especially conscripts. And even for DMR role there are military precision rifles with ak style long stroke piston like the PSL and zastava m76, m91 which were considered acceptable. Zastava m91 seems to be quite good actually
I've very little experience but from what i know assault rifles are kinda all very similar and it seems to be down to personal preference and logistics and situation which one is „better”. What matters most is having the rifle and ammo in the first place and the mounting of modern optics, which AK can definitely do though not as easily as an AR15 and other modern rifles
Not sure i would call QBZ-191 a modernised AK. There's many true modernised AKs with various solutions for mounting optics, i think the zastava m19 is interesting
