Topic: AK-47 or M-16? NATO or Warsaw? Posted: 26-Aug-2004 at 00:20 |
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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

Well AK-47 is very cheap and efficient about heat however it doesnt have the best accuracy, like M-16...
