I REALLY like the 7,62x39 mm steel core for the Type 68 AK, with periodic tracer and incendiary thrown in. But the old EGA-made ones are good too.

With steel core, you rarely need AP. Plus 40 round mags are better than 75 rd drums, except if you have to fire extended prone and can't use a bipod.

RPD longer barrel is better too. But, I like the lightweight, light-hearted feel of the paratroop style AK, just need the more durable plastic.

Oh, Zytel Israeli-made mags are good too, ya don't need to lube so much.
10 x 40rd mags will pretty much do the trick
