Yup,

And meanwhile some USMC Private with an M-16 on single is picking you off at 200-500 meters with ease

Wow.   So now the US knows what it has been doing wrong in Iraq and previous wars.   Just fire blindly toward the enemy, the sound of the guns, discharging brass, and magazine drops will make the enemy run in fear.

Actually no offense but your both stupid :D AK-47 is still classed as the most accurate assault rifle. Its who fires it aswell, Iraqi's aren't trained, Russians are.

I've shot both weapons and I can tell you that you are dead wrong.  while the AK has many advantages over the M16 such as reliability ease of mait. and it's easier to shoot tha, it is NOT more accurate.

The M16 has nearly double the muzzle velocity and about half the recoil of the AK.  IT can also aoutshoot it by about 200  meters.

M16A4? Still not even close, compare it to an AK74. If not, technically the most accurate assault rifle ive seen used in the field was an AN-90/4. Semi Auto, has burst and 2 shot burst aswell :D.

Ha ha ha ha that's funny

But serisously Krypto.  I am NOT saying the M16A2 or A4 are BETTER I am saying they are proven more accurate.  Even on paper the A4 has about 100 meters more range than the AK74 and a wopping 300 meters on the the AK47.  The round used (5.56mm) may be small and have less knock down power than the 7362 x 39 that the 47 uses but smaller and higher muzzle velocity means more accurate when you consider the minimal recoil.  Again this is comparing it to the AK47, NOT 74.  To me it looks as if the designers mix some of the good qualitys (accuracy) of the M16 and the good qualities of the AK47 (reliability/ease of use) and create the AK74 wich is a fine weapon if you ask me.

Having fired all of them I can tell you without a doubt that the M16 is more accurate than both of them.  The AK series having many redeaming qualities is not as accurate (especially the 47)

AK108 is accurate.


So is my Chinese Type56 Carbine. (Chinese version of the Russian SKS-47)

If I had a choice between two weapons to take into battle and one was the M16 and one was the AK-47, I'd take the AK-47. I'd get bad luck and jam with the M16.

My buddy trained with NATO in Evjamoen, Norway.    He has a Bulgarian AK and fires it.   He was on the "203" when he went there.   He shot a Finnish AK with LaPua ammo.   He said it was one of the finest weapons he ever fired.  

He then said "it wasn't accurate past 150 meters".    They never were, nor will be.   It was designed for CQB (150 meters and closer) and a totally different animal than the M16's are, IMO.

AKs are alot more accurate than people tend to think they are. Alot of people seem to confuse accuracy and precision.

The sights are a pain in the butt to properly zero, but when they are zeroed the AK47 rifle is capable of good combat accuracy to 300m and beyond. The 74, even further.

I wouldn't trade the AR sights or AR safety/selector for what's on the AK, tho. Not even close.

(The Galil addresses both of those shortcomings in an AK-pattern rifle very nicely, however.)
