Reliability: The AK-47 can have sand in the mechanism and still function properly. The M-16 is liable to explode in your face. Stopping Power: The AK-47 shoots the 7.62x39 round. That is a big bullet with much kinetic energy. The M-16 shoots a 5.56 NATO round. The NATO round is not terrible, but it lacks stopping power. Accuracy: Is the AK's accuracy a slight issue? No problem, just use the DMR version of it. Funny fact: When Mikhail Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner met after the Cold War, Stoner was bragging about his weapons needed to be dropped ten feet to pass a US army test. Kalashnikov replied, that in Russia if the weapons did not work, then the designer was dropped from ten feet! Side: Soviet Ak 47
