if u have to be so picky go with A2...A4 is not full auto..so we`ll keep that one outloc978 said:Good luck ever finding a working one that hasn't been updated to an A2 or A4 due to parts failure... There might be one in an Air Force museum somewhere...Giuglea said:by m16 i actually meant m16Mazty said:M16, M16A2, M16A4 or M4? Biiiig difference.Giuglea said:Lets say you start a new game and you don`t know anything about it..not even the title..and it asks you which weapon would you prefer...ak47 or m16?
please state why..(keep in mind that you might be facing anything from terrorists to zombies to interdimensional beings to...the latest children in the school trend)
choose wisely..
ak47 and here's why. it's one of the most reliable and powerful assault rifles ever made. It's been made and remade and copied (Chinese Type 56-I) while the M16 is terrible. Every time the target's range changes you have to readjust the sights (with a screwdriver or bobby pin I might add), it's flimsy and it jams frequently. It is one of the biggest failures in weapon's history.
The Kalashnikov.
It is so ridiculously reliable it could survive a nuke ... well, maybe repairs with a paperclip, duct tape, and a toothbrush may be required ...
Seriously though .. those rifles last freakin' forever.

But yeah, the M16's stock is much tougher than one might initially think... not prone to shattering so much as shattering people's bones [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fGW-8KAbc4] (and yes, with a rifle butt strike, you tend to contact with the steel sling loop, not the plastic... which is still more resilient than human bone)...
and a kid with a shoestring can only reattach hand guards on an AK, any necessary mechanical part failure is definitely beyond the ability of a shoestring to fix.
AK47 seems to be the most solid in FPS/3rd person shooters. I know what I'm getting into when I pick up the AK47. Similar to real-life, actually.
The Armalite Rifle and it's derivatives are among the finest rifles ever produced. While that statement may not be entirely true, they are certainly fine weapons. They require regular maintenance, but if this requirement is met, they function just fine. The Kalashnikov rifles are cheap, mass produce-able weapons designed for massed fire at relatively close ranges. I'll take the AR-15 in most situations.
Considering that back in my homeland Africa, everyone and their grandmother owns at least one Ak47, it would be simply unpatriotic for me to pick anything else. Also they are easier to maintain and have a more intuitive design.
But hey if you dont believe me, then maybe you will believe Mr. Nicholas Cage!

...so when your M16 gets dirt on it and misfires, I'll take yours off your corpse. The original M16 had a lot of reliability issues, ALOT. If the poll, had been M4 or the M16A2, that'd be a different story. Now if this was a post-apocalyptic game, 5.56mm NATO (or .223 Remington for those of us who dwell in the US) would be much more plentiful as pretty much every western military uses the round. However, for the punch and reliability you can't beat an old fashioned Automat Kalashnikov.Ordinaryundone said:
I apologize if you feel insulted, that was not my intention, I just feel that neither rifle is accurately represented in any shooter or game. Also, why isn't there any representation on the AK variants, like the Israeli made Galil, or Saiga variant(which makes a really sweet semi-auto shotgun that looks and uses the same parts as an AK). I know they're not what everyone recognizes, but wouldn't be fun to put some new weapons into everyone's games.
AK47. It's more reliable and easier to clean and maintain. It may not be as accurate as the M16, but it still is quite accurate, more so than it gets credit for.
in rl - M16
in game - M16
There's a reason that its more expensive (hint: because its the better gun)

when you master the recoil the ak47 is the superior firearm
the ak47 is well known as being one of the most realiable guns in the world and in the hands of a skilled user is both powerful and accurate for every range
although everyone knows that hollow point rounds are more effective up close

I'd choose the M16, BECAUSE I'M A REAL AMERICAN.
In seriousness though, probably the M16. I've fired both weapons and I don't care much for AKs. They don't fit my shoulder well. Though if I really needed something I knew would always work, I might choose an AK. But just beween the two weapons, I much prefer the M16.
