to answer your questions, the AK is both heavier and longer (by about 8-10 cm if i remember correctly), now im a pretty tall guy so either is okay. dont really care for stanag mags, in terms of battery the AK uses a stick type housed under the receiver cover and gas tube, while the G36 uses a mini type under the barrel hidden inside the handguard.
The gun doesn't really affect my other gear/kit as i'm not going for any particular theme, and plan on having assault rifle mag pouches on a load bearing vest or a plate carrier, and having a dump pouch on my belt.
and yes, i have already gone to the Toronto Airsoft store a couple times and plan to go again in the next two weeks, will definitely take that opportunity to try out both styles of guns if they have them.
