They are 2 completely different guns. The Kalashnicov (Ak-47) is meant to be used as an automatic weapon, it is extremely powerful and is one of the most simple guns in the world, and one of the most famous. The M16 is meant to be used as a rifle, it is less powerful, and is far more accurate.

What is an M16's firepower?

A lot of that depends on if you have proper ammunition for the target. But for close range, open areas, or inside buildings, it is pretty decent. Its best quality is the accuracy. It is less powerful than the AK47, but much more accurate. For urban fighting, an AK47 with its heavy punch and penetrating power is better, but an M16 is very flexible and does decent in many situations, including longer ranges where an AK47 would be horribly inaccurate


What is better m16 or ak 47?

Depends on what you want. The M16 is far more accurate while the AK47 is more reliable. An AK will still work after rigerous tourture testing while the M16 would not fare as well. The M16 can accept a larger variety of optics and other accessories such as lasers and grips due to it's full length picatinny rails The AK can also accept atachments but with a little more difficulty. Another difference between them is the calliber The AK shoots a 7.62x39mm round while the M16 shoots a 5.56 round. Everyone has their own opinion on which one is better but is is just personal preferance. I hope this helps.
