Topic: AK-47 or M-16? NATO or Warsaw? Posted: 25-Aug-2004 at 04:46 |
Well AK-47 is very cheap and efficient about heat however it doesnt have the best accuracy, like M-16...

the only reason why armies use M16 is because it is made in the USA and
they don't want to buy the alternative AK47 because they weren't
commies.
The G3 came later so shouldn't figure into this eqn.
Anyway, we used to use the M16, (before we converted to SAR21), and
common consensus decreed that the AK-47 was a much better weapon, both
in power and hardiness.

Actually we all know that they changed the barrels of many AK-47s to 7.62 so that they can now be used by NATO bullets.
For example the Turkish Gendermarie is using AK-47s although Turkey is a NATO country from top to bottom...

I voted G3 because it served well my country.
I realized it was reliable even in a wet enviroment as in the jungles of southern Mexico.
We were able to difference the sound of it blast compared with the AK's and other weapons of the EZLN.
Plus, the accesories were helpfull as the grenade fired by a blank cartdrige, or the M203 grenade launcher.

If you think an M16 rattles, you should try a Kalashnikov. They sound like they don't contain a single non-loose part

bullpup enfield is the most advanced, best all around performance, but if I was trapped out all alone the extreme reliability of the AK would be my pic.

I voted the AK but I think that in the hands of highly trained soldiers the M16 will perform better because they know how to use it to its fullest potential while the AK is better for the run of the mill conscript because he does not need to learn much or maintain it.

even though the m16 is more expensive, it is not superior to the AK.
The only reason some countries use them is because during the cold war
there were 2 options m16 or AK, and if you were soviet bloc you went
with AK, if you were US you went with m16.

true in many situations here, but it doesnt change the fact that the newest models of the M16 are superior to the AK47.

but the AK is more reliable, there's not her automatic rifle that can be fired in a sandstorm and still works.

Israeli Galils are good dessert ARs against the finest sands but some of its design is based on the AK.
the AK47 is rugged,reliable and probably the best reason why it is distributed in mass form but the M16 if taken care of is just as reliable.If you throw some AKs at monkeys, i guess they will last longer.
It boils down to a preference which i would want to be outfitted with.I believe a unit armed with M16/CAR-15s which makes less noise and flash to give away positions and has the superior shot in accuracy will be more successful against a unit armed with AKs in most battle scenarios.I will have the better shot.
We just have to admire a gun that stands the test of time since 1947 ..or 1944

I voted to Ak-47. Structure of Ak-47 is stronger than m-16.Ak 47 is more effective than M-16 at close combat. It's rate of fire maybe lower than M-16 but AK-47's Bullet is stronger
