The AK round. The AK 47 fires a 7.62mm round. The M16/M4 fires a 5.56mm round.

Yes it does.
5.56mm
the standard m16 shoots the 5.56mm, but it can be converted to shoot 9mm, 7.62mm, even .308
An M16 is chambered in 5.56 NATO round. Depending on cartridge type the speed can be between 905 m/s (2,970 ft/s) and 940 m/s (3,100 ft/s). A civilian version of an M16 can be chambered in many different calibers and the speed will depend on cartridge, load and bullet type.
Magazines for the M16 are made in 20 and 30 round capacity.
Both guns are very excellent guns, but it just depends on the situation. If your in confined spaces, the m4 would be better due to its compactness; but if your outside, the m16 would be better due to its accuracy. Overall, I think the m16 is better, but that's just my opinion. Besides, there are better guns than the m16 series such as the m468 with its heavier round, and the scar with its interchangability between the 556 round and the 762 round.
No. There are AK variants which fire the 5.56x45 round (common to the M16), such as the AK101, Type 84, Rk 62.76, Kbs. wz. 1996 Beryl, etc., but the AK47 and AKM fire a 7.62x39 cartridge. The two cartridges are not interchangeable, nor even close to it.
The M16 assault rifle is chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATOcartridge. It can also fire the civilian .223 Remington round.
Yes, along with the carbine version of the M16, the M4.
