Ak-47 Or M-16? - Page 2

I am not sure you can always call the M16 a finicky rifle. I have drug mine through a swamp dirt and even desert environment and had never had a jamb or a problem with it. I know some people have but they did not care for it as well. I did not clean it but once a week and that seemed to help maintain it.

While I have not personally carried or used a AK 47 on a regular basis a friend of mine has. He is a big time gun collector and I value his opinion. He has told me while the AK 47 is nice he would rather use the M16 for personnel defense.

I have seen this weapon in a combat situation but have never had the oppertunity to fire it. I know it uses the same basic round as the M16. I would enjoy the oppertunity to fire the AS80 A2. I am sure it is a nice combat assault rifle.

Comments: 300 meters isn't very good and it is SA-80. I also hear its very delicate.

Comments: Part of the reason these debates are so hard is that we never specify which version of the M16 we're talking about. The -A1 model, piece of crap. unreliable, bad on full auto, no grenade launcher... the -A2 was much nicer. 3-round burst, modular system, more reliable... and so on. If we are comparing these weapons, it should be the AK family vs. M16 series.

Ak-47 Or M-16?

I love my AK, but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 550 yards.

It is made for peasants. Easy to service, maintain, and shoot. It creates great suppressive fire because sometimes you don't know where the bullet is going.

I love the Ak action. That is why I am looking at the AK-74. They say it is almost as accurate as the AR with all the benefits of the Ak-47

The bullets are also cheap.

If you are looking for long range why not just get a rifle? A gun is made to do what it does.

The perfect weapon is light accurate, all around, reliable, mobile, and powerful. People are always trying to create a perfect weapon. You can hunt with an AR-15 and it is a great protection rifle.

I like guns, but the more I look at what a perfect weapon is the more ridiculous it becomes. I wouldn't take an AR moose hunting.

The AK-74 has peaked my interest, but the round is almost the same as a .223.

There is no perfect gun from what I can see.
