ak-47 vs m16
-
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.

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.

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...

supposing the ammo for each one will be the same Ever used any weapon? The ammo is never the same. Therefor AK-47. Most reliable. better ammo.

the same ammount weight of ammo, form example 10 kg of bullets from each weapon

I like the m16 because it doesn't shake that much when you fire :P *Based on my gaming experience.

Like I always said, if you can take a .22 to the forehead and walk away, then you can take a 7.62 with no problem.

First, the ammo for both is not the same. An AK is 7.62x39 and an M16 is 5.56, which is a smaller round. The AK is an assult weapon designed for close in combat and is a piece of crap. It requires constant maintenance if you don't want a to lug around an 11.5 pound hunk of rust. It does however have more stopping power than the M16. It is can be fired semi or full auto. Although the M16A2 is characterized as an "assult rifle", it was really designed for longer engagements and is mostly made of composite materials so it has better resiliency to weather. It is lighter than the AK at 7.8 pounds and fires semi-auto or 3 round burst. This design was supposed to help in accuracy as it elimiates the "spray & pray" factor. See this[^] for a decent comparison.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

It depends on where in the world. Just had this conversation with a friend of mine. Rather than the WW3, it was more along the lines of a zombie apocolypse situation. In *that* case, and since I live in the USA, I'd go with the M16. Far more law enforcement agencies have standardized on this, so there will be more ammo around. So goes the thought.
