the only serious flaw the m16 has its lack of stopping power compared to the kalishnokov. I hate hearing about dirt will fuck up an M16 while it wont an AK, yall need to quit watching movies man. Although the AK can take a lot more mishandling than the m16 you get dirt or sand in the chamber you could kiss that rifle good bye after awhile no matter what kind it is. The M16a4, can out shoot and out range any of AK counterparts, so what if you gotta shoot him three times, thats six holes he cant fix.
Something else about that standard Nato 5.56 x 45mm. They call it a tumbler round, as it leaves the barrel it spins top to bottom till it hits its target, once the round enters the body it will bounce around cartilage and bone and end up leaving a totaly different exit wound. The purpose of war is not to kill but to keep your enemy from shooting and one wounded soldier is the same as 3 enemy dead because it will take two of his buddies to tend to the casualty, knocking 3 weapons out the fight. They kept this is mind when they created the m16.
The ak is a peice of shit, thats why peice of shit countries (allies excluded) used that weapon as it standard, its a fool proof rifle for countries that have nothing but fools.
and lets not forget the m-14, still being used to today, if your gonna talk about weapons from the 60s. m14 is a great powerful weapon ( man is it loud too) that would put any AK to shame.
I have fired the AK and the 16 and the AK is worthless fully auto, near worthless single shot. It has got too much kick to be used efficiently. Anfd one more thing, our ballistic armour is meant to stop any 7.62 round, and it has, but the 5.56 round is know to penetrate our OTV's because its more of a peircing round and not meant to knock someone on his ass. SOVIET WEAPONS ARE CRAP, THATS WHY THE THIRD WORLD HAS THEM.
And dont even talk about the T- whatever the fuck, huge paperweights thats all they are. I seen hundred and hundred of Iraqi (soviet) tanks lined up and abandonded.
