        More reliable wins in my opinion. AK-47 is also easier to clean and to keep clean.

        The reliability of the modern m16 is much better than it was in the original form. However, I do agree with you that the AK-47 is more rugged, easier to clean and upkeep, plus you can pretty much do anything to them and they keep firing. The AK-47 would be my choice as well. Plus if you get a high quality AK variant, they are just as accurate.

          They arent, 5.2 vs 7.62 mm AFAIK. Go for the one with the smallest ammo, it is lighter to carry....

            true, the 5.56 ammo is pretty handsome. But also doesn't affect as much damage as the good old 7.62.

            they put a very low twist in the M16 to give the bullet a low spin thus making it more likely to tumble on entry and cause massive internal wounding. OK, it wont go through trees and still keep in a straight line, but it is an effective weapon.

                              They are interesting, almost no recoil. Was out one day practicing for an IDPA meet and one of the other guys had the semi-auto version. Less than a .22 in my opinion.

                                If I was in a war, my weapon would pretending that I'm a doctor and lying about having a huge stash of gold buried somewhere. Carrying a gun will make you dangerous and expendable. People who die the most in wars are exactly in those categories. Also, the AK-47 is the best gun...
