    Is OFB entirely to blame for their shoddy production process or were there some early design flaws too which could not be corrected in later iterations of the rifle?

    It is more accurate than the 7.62x39. With decent optics, the 556 can fly into your face from 200 m away and start draining your skull before your soul has even exited the body.
