In the "now I've heard it all" category-
Overheard a conversation at work, something about what seemed to be the usual "AKs are better than ARs" info being doled out. I meandered over to see what was up and perhaps steer the conversation in a less biased direction. Then I hear the gem (paraphrased);
"AKs are a better choice than an AR because they're easier to put back together".
I said, "wait a sec, *what* happened?" thinking there must have been some catastrophic error made in assembly or something.
"Yeah, AKs are better than ARs because they're easier to take apart and put back together- (relative of speaker, who incidentally also has LE experience) had a hard time with the AR, but you know the AK only has like 3 parts when you take it apart...."
I was expecting to hear the usual more reliable/bigger bullet/price/etc. AK arguments, and instead it turns out the poor fella just couldn't grasp basic field strip and re-assembly for an AR....

I had an immediate comment I nearly blurted out but thankfully I have become very good at saying "oh, I see" and walking away.
