that's taking out all the other factors though, there's no stats on the rate of jamming, or anything else other than general stats
Also Loco, on Page 8 I corrected my error. If you'd like to look at what I really meant.
But, like I said, that's just some useful and interesting information. RoF is a big factor, distance is a big factor, and the bullet fired is also a big factor.

not as much if the bullet won't leave the gun is it?
So don't be retarded, the only video games like real life are ARMA and ARMA 2, and none of you could play that game for more than 20 seconds without wondering what the f**k you are supposed to do. So SHUT IT, YA FAILURES!
Why the hate? We're just having a friendly debate. I was just talking about the modern and latest design of the American M16 against the original Russian AK-47. I was in no way, shape, or form talking about the variants for the M-16.
Guys, you obviously know nothing about modern weapons...there have been four different versions of the M16, all of them have a semi-automatic fire rate and others. I think 2 versions had full automatic, 1 had burst-fire, and the last had all three.

I saw arma on youtube, it looks like a godly game, if i had a good enough cpu id get it. You can make scenarios and stuff. Great game from what ive seen.
M-16 is the standard rifle of the US Army and from what I hear, the US Army is one of the most powerful armies in the world.
AK-47 has too much recoil, causing the shooter's aim to be off. Besides, it is pretty old. I'm surprised a 63 year old gun would still be in use by as many people. Like everything, things get better as time passes on. Guns have evolved a lot on the past 63 years, usually for the better. I'm pretty sure the AK-47 has had some imprint on the design of the M-16, o that's like saying which person is smarter, a person from the Stone Age or from the Renaissance Age?
M-16 beats the AK-47, even though the AK-47 is the most widely produced firearm ever.
I can agree with you kevin, your comment has been the best by far. I love the Ak with all my heart as i previously posted. It truly is a great gun for its old age but you made me realize that it IS indeed an old gun. There are though, counterparts, like the saiga, the 74u, and the rpk(which is just a bigger version).
The AK-47 is more of a machine gun (automatic is before single shot ffs!) , while the M16 is more of a rifle. Both have exceptional service records.... But don't you think the good ol' AK is getting a bit dated? It still uses those big 7.62x39mm rounds, a bit old fashioned if you ask me. It's still a great rifle today cuz of it's amazing reliability, but newer versions of it like the AK-100 series are far better and up to date for modern battlefields. Sorta.
For the straight up battle, classic AK-47 verse the latest variants of the M16, the AK can still hold it's own. It just depends what situation you're going to get yourself in. In my opinion, the AK is a far more practical weapon for all out warfare. It is extremely reliable, cheap, powerful, and easy to use. That is why it is such a great weapon.
In conclusion, these weapons cannot be compared. They are too different to conjure up a sufficient comparison for. They are both great firearms.
The AK47 and the M16 are both assault rifles, that is, rifles that use intermediate cartridges and detachable magazines.
But don't you think the good ol' AK is getting a bit dated?
AK-47s have been outdated for decades, but as you mention, the later series of the AK are far superior and great weapons. The AK-74M
Sorta
Please elaborate

Not in the slightest. 7.62x39 is a significantly superior cartridge to use ~300+ yards, due to not being the varmint round that is 5.56x45. However, your typical AK and its' variants will be less accurate than an M16/M4 (though this is not always the case).
Basically, it all boils down to range. The farther the enemy away is, the larger the round you're going to use, which is when you'd want an AK. However, in closer engagements, accuracy is key where any intermediate cartridge will most likely drop you, leading you to the M16/M4.
I know they're both assault rifles, lol. But the AK just "feels" more like a machine gun than a normal assault rifle. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the "fully auto" fire selector is before the "semi-auto" fire selector, which is lulzy.
Everything you said in your post is true. But the AK's effective range is lower than the M16's.
