which is better an ak47 or m16?

The m16 is more accurate.   The m16a1 barrel does the same thing when fired enough times.  The m249 and m240 do it damn near every time, that's why you never leave the FOB without extra barrels.

Lawlz, you beat me to it. AK barrel's are stout-and ounce for ounce the AK is far more durable than the M-16. Like you pointed out though, the AK's sighting setup leaves much to be desired out past a hundred yards or so, combined with a super stiff trigger pull and a tad harder kick than an M-16.

AK's were designed to mass produce and be rugged-you can put an AK through horrible conditions and pick it up and fire, which is why it's a legend in third world countries around the world. M-16's are designed for fast combat where target aquisition, accuracy, weight, and maneuverability give an advantage over the opposition.

Otherwise, myself I can't use AK sights worth jack crap, so for me the M-16 (or better yet, the AR-10) is an easier choice. Give me an M-1A over either any day though.

I know i know it isnt accurate I saw stratoaxes thing and rovocops video. but stratoaxe  did mention what i was trying to say that it was made to shoot. Robocops video mentions what i was trying to say about the power.

Neither round shoots through trees, you fail.
