"Better" is a relative term. Each does the function it's supposed to, and each has its advantages and disadvantages in comparison to the other. The AK-47 and AKM use the more powerful 7.62x39 cartridges. It also generates more recoil, and is heavier to carry. The 5.45x39 cartridge used by the AK-74 is less powerful, but is also lighter, and allows a larger basic load to be carried. When you consider that most ammunition expended in a firefight is used for suppression, and doesn't actually hit anything of significance, you can see where this is beneficial.

What is better an M4 or AK47?

An M4 carbine would be better under almost all circumstances. It is lighter, more accurate at range (Assuming both have their stock sights), and more controllable in full auto mode. However, the AK47 is a cold war-era weapon while the M4A1 are much more modern. A more debatable and relevant question would be "Which is better, an M4 or an AK74?"

What assault rifle is the best?

First, you will have to define what makes a rifle "best". The AK47 is the most common, but was replaced by the AK74 using a new cartridge. The M16 is newer than the AK47, but has longer range and better accuracy. FN, Galil, Steyr and dozens of other firms make very good rifles. There will always be different opinions, and no one answer.
