M16 vs AK47, which do you think is better???

[[QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"] The Ak-47 is crap, its innacurate, and that is what matters in a gun fight. The Ak-47 round is bigger but slower than the M16 round, it has more stopping power but it is less accurate. The M16 is reliable, efficient and gets the job done with accuracy. New weapons that are in testing by US Special Forces, such as the SCAR, have proven to be very reliable. And the M468 is nearly the same thing as the M4 except with a bigger round with more stopping power, without losing accuracy.

so how is the AK-47 crap?... you've just gone and said yourself its got more stopping power too...

My guess.....he said it's inaccurate and that's what matters. He also said it's slower. That would be my guess anyway as to why he said that...

yeah I know he said that :roll:

but I could be just as ignorrant as him by saying "the m16 is crap because it breaks down and isnt as powerful as the AK and stuff..."

M16-

good-higher velocity, lighter, acurate, silancer

bad- expense, needs cleaning

AF47

good-durable, has good stoping power, cheap

Bad- heavy, inacurate, slow round speed, high recoil

I would consider the AK47 a group weapon. if u can get more that 2, then it can be deadly.

the next generation of weapon will fix the M16 problems like the M8, SCAR, ect.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages. Also with AK's much of it depends on where they come from NEVER get an AK made in the Middle East as theya re poorly made and innacurate, any one who has experience in this subject willl generally tell yout his the best most accurate and reliable AKs come from Eastern Europe and China.

AK's are not as innacurate as some people make them out to be they are more than accurate enough for most ranges you generally see in combat which is less than 400 meters.

The m16 is better at longer ranges because it is more accurate and has a farther effective range it's not the best weapon in CqC because of its length.

Personally I would take a good Eastern European AKM.

Dude you can legally buy an AK in the US, its not hard just go to a class 3 dealer unless you live in California. Or other states filled with people that have no idea what they are trying to ban.

AK 47no doubt...

M16. Sure, the AK is stronger and cheap, but if you were to put 2 guys in a room, one had M16, other AK, the M16 would come out victorious. M16 has good control and a3 round burst, keeping accuracy high.

PS. I have basedthis on experience in BF2 and CS

jointed

You've said that twice...so I'll ask....how much experience do you have with either weapon?

if its based of cs ill have you know I pwn in css with the ak... going off my experiences incss ill say that although the ak has mor recoil as long as your not a noob it is by far and away a more lethal weapon. however that would just be stupid to base it off a game... thats why im sure you were joking ? ;P

Niether is better. They were both designed with different ideas for battle in mind. The AK-47 is not as jam proof as you all think. You can piss on it and it will work yes but it too must be cleaned. And the M16 is not as jam prone as it is said to. You must clean it because it creates a mess inside when it fires. The jamming problem was overstated because troops did not get cleaning kits it Vietnam. Comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges. I prefer the M16 because its lighter and the round has less recoil. I want to get an AR-15 a semi automatic version for civilians. And for close quarters the M4 carbine which is a shorter cousin to the M16 designed for close quarters and urban combat is great. Oh by the way what about the AK-101 which uses thethe M16's bullet and has better accuaracy and wieght than the AK-47.

I've only ever handled an AK-47 back in the country of my ethnicity (my relatives are rich, and as such, don't are never bothered by authorities). I never tried an M16, but I do know that from shooting practice targets out on my uncle's estate that it would definately get the job done.

I don't know how well though, since my only other firearms experience was with a glock and a Enfield rifle.

What about an M4? nice and lightweight, cheaper and still packs heat.:Pmarklarmer

M4's don't have the range of eithe ran M16 or a well-made AK. It overheats andd it is quite jam prone more than the M16 I believe. Also As most of you have ignored my posts.

IT DEPENDS ON WHERE the AK in question is made. I've seen a chick pull off a 400 meter shot and hit bullseye 5/5 times. She had had no prior experience with the weapon, why because it was well made it wasn't some cheap knockoff it was made by IZHMASH.

AKs have treated my nation well though we use Zastavas now.

ive always been partial to guns like the saw and the chaingun/minigun

but on to the actual debate it is true that the m16 is more advanced and has better accuracy and thus range, i have to go with ak cause of the ammount of punishment it can take
