yeah, the M16 has it's ups and downs as does the AK47.
The M16 is not as reliable as the AK47. with an AK47, there's pretty much nothing you can do to make it stop firing other that blow it up. lol. you can pack it in dirt, fire it until it's so hot you can cook an egg with the barrel and it just won't stop.
with the M16, small grains of dirt or sand can pretty much jam it. and from what I've heard, it was a major prob for troops in Vietnam.
the AK47 has a larger round than the M16. the M16 fires 5.56 and the AK fires 7.62. it's a much larger and more powerful round. but the M16 round has a higher velocity. the AK's 7.62 round is about 400 MPH slower than the 5.56. in any case the 7.62 round has sheer stopping power and causes alot more damage than the 5.56.
the M16 is alot more accurate at long range tho. and easier to control compared to the AK47. with the M16, the butt stock lines up perfectly with the gun so the recoil goes strait back. with the AK47, the butt stock as at a downward angle, so the gun tends to kick upwards when you fire it making it much harder to control in rapid fire.
so for great reliability and sheer stopping and penetrating power, go for the AK47.
for accuracy and range, go for the M16.
really I can't decide which one I like would like best. :D
