AK47 vs M16

I know which one I would choose.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Never underestimate the reliability of an ar, but never underestimate the accuracy of an ak.

Anyone who prefers AK over AR is an un-American Communist wannabe and probable threat to the national security of the United States and should be reported to the NSA and doesn't love their mom or her apple pie and thinks borscht is better than baseball.  If you prefer the AR-15, then congratulations, you are trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

I'll take my rifles like my women. Tight, well fit, and straight shooters. Thats just me though. Some people like loose, sloppy, and all over the place, I don't, but I respect their choice as a commu American....

Well that's kinda harsh. :grrr: The AK-47 is the weapon that changed the face of war and is the world’s most popular military weapon. There are approximately 100 million AK's in use and used by at least 50 legitimate armies. Simply put...it works really well, rarely jams, practically indestructible, and easy to fire with little or no training. I own AR's too...just saying.



I think you must have been "AK Rick Rolled" and still bitter. Just kidding Cougar :rofl:

Nah, I just like flame wars, especially this one.  Quick, someone start a .45 versus 9mm thread!   >:D

Oh, and to the 50 legitimate armies: the AK-47 serves its function well.  It's a rock-solid but wildly inaccurate infantry weapon, cheap to produce and perfectly suited to equipping a million-man army comprised of illiterate conscripts.  If you want a rifle suited for a professional army, it's M-16 all the way.

Yep, inexpensive to produce, easy to use and maintain, and reliable as hell. Accurate enough in the jungles of Southeast Asia and many other areas to wreak havoc on our forces but both firearms certainly have their strengths and weaknesses and the debate of which one is better will never end, but without context of what’s exactly better, it’s really a moot question but certainly rattles the cages of some diehard’s on both sides of the debate. Both weapons certainly have their place in history and I really enjoy both weapons and the history behind them.

And yet there was a moment in time when I almost had you stray to the dark side.
Search your mind young Jedi and you will remember.  >:D

Haha, true story.  In all honesty, flames aside, the REAL reason I can't bring myself to buy an AK is simply because they are inseparable in my mind from images of Spetznaz, Viet Cong, or Osama bin Laden.  That's it, plain and simple.  Oh, and the springs in the AK bother me.  I don't know why, they just bug the hell out of me!

I don't have anything against the AK...I just don't like shooting it. Never have and probably never will. I kind of wish I did because ammo is MUCH cheaper to buy and easier to get. I may also be slightly skewed since I am so familiar with the M16/M4 (AR) platform. I've had to learn to take apart and put together blindfolded.

I thought this question was already solved once and for all, case closed.

It's the Ham Sammy reliability and accesory interfaceability of the AK hands down.  :rofl: :rofl:
