I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

one of the reasons the Viet Minh won the vietnam war was because the AK-47 outperformed the M16

The AK-47 is more versatile. They're cheap and effective.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

Having actually shot both, I would say the AK. It's easy, powerful and durable. That said, it depends on who is operating it. Go with the weapon you are comfortable with.

If a man is not willing to die for something then he is unfit to live.

M16 since low recoil allows me to keep more shots on target over the AK ar. The weapon malfunction of the M16 has always been a known problem. The times that I had my M16A2 jam it was usually a double feed and nothing else. I did routine weapon maintenance so that helps but not for long. It's all preference in the end.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Neither. FN SCAR platform.

If I have to choose between those two though, I'd probably go with the AK. I just prefer the system.

M16! With a bipod and extended mag it's really useful while the AK 47 has really bad recoil.


Oh look, another CoD or BF3 noob in a real life gun thread.

Alt account #4 because i can!

I'd rather be able to hit my target from 300 yards out with one shot with occasional jamming, then to have to get within 150 yards and shoot 50 rounds before i hit anything.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

AK-100 series glory
AN-94 glory
AK-12 glory
SVD glory
Saiga-12 glory

Glory to Russia and Russian weapons.

FN is the best in the west anyway, with mk.17 SCAR, P90, FAL, F2000, FN five-seven, etc.

It really depends preference wise, if for personal, m16. If we are talking best by use, and popularity, the ak wins.

Personally I'm looking to buy a mini 30, lots of options for modification as well.

M16>AK-47
In testing (source is secondhand, got the info from some military friends on a military website) the SVD was more accurate than the M40.

I agree with Cobra and Der.

The recoil is about the same on both weapons.

The AK is easier to clean, and jams less than a dirty AR, but no one here has a dirty AR... Right?

The 7.62x39 AK round hits much harder downrange, the 5.56x45 AR is more accurate and shoots flatter.

The AK eats up steel case ammo, which I won't use in the AR.

I can get 7.62 ammo for about 1/2 the cost of 5.56...

Guess which one gets fired more :)

Both are fine weapons.

I find you rather shallow and pedantic.

Is that the original M16? The one that jammed frequently? If so the AK.

"you left the acces code, something that jeporadizes all of our lives, at the worlds, largest, bullet... we are so screwed" "ehh, i got ice cream"

I've never shot a firearm before but I would say AK because everyone that I know that has shot an M16 says it jams frequentley and I wouldn't want that.

Don't go for the mini 30 bro, just get an SKS or any non WASR AK rifle.


Anyways, AR15 platform.

My third montage!

The AR platform has improved in reliability significantly in the last few years.

I won't deny the AK's stopping power as that is where it's strength truly lies.

Both have their pros and cons.

  • 12.26.2012 11:19 AM PDT

From my knowledge the M16 is more accurate.

Pros: M16
-Better Accuracy
-Lighter
-Higher Rate of Fire
-Higher Muzzle Velocity
-More Effect Range
-Highly Used Round

Cons: M16
-Horrid Reliability
-Smaller Round
-Less Produced

Pros: AK-47
-Many Produced
-Round Packs a Bigger Punch
-Better in Close Range
-Reliable
-Useful for anything

Cons: AK-47
-Lower Muzzle Velocity
-Less Accurate
-Small Range
-Lower RoF

It depends on your personal preference really. I prefer the AK-47 personally. It would be better in a war like Vietnam because the relatively closer combat, higher caliber round, and cheap cost with lots of numbers would make it better for a war like that. Especially the reliability. Those things are tough.

I prefer the AR-15 platform. I like how modular it is. I have a Russian gun as it is. A Mosin Nagant, and I love it. I may pick up an SKS somewhere down the road.

But between the AK series and the AR-15/M-16, I prefer the AR. You can do a lot more with it in a much easier manner.

I think they are both excellent designs but my personal preference is the AK47 platform, because I am familiar with it and I know how to maintain it.

m16 proven worthy in battles and wars? Have you ever shot with one? Have you ever operated one in (simulated) combat? They jam the whole time and are pretty much useless with even a slight amount of sand in the valve. I consider them more accurate then the AK-47 but that's about it.


M16s do not jam the whole time, at least the newer versions. The reason why they got the rep for jamming is because the US used incorrect gun powder during Vietnam which caused the gun to fire at a rate it was not designed for. When you're in basic training, they will usually give you .22 long rifle rounds. The M16 is meant to use the .223. The 22s are smaller than the .223s and can jam in the clip mechanism as it comes to the breach. If you would just get the appropriate .223s, this problem would be greatly reduced.
