The bullet energy from the AK 47 is higher than a round from an M16 or M4. That doesn't mean it is necessarily a better weapon. The AK 47 is very reliable but the M16 is much more accurate.

The standard M16 rifle uses a 30 round magazine. AK-47: The AK-47 on the other hand uses a 7.62 mm thus making it more powerful than a M16. It can fire 600 rounds/min making it slower. It has the best deal you can get for an automatic weapon. Its also easy to operate, clean, and repair. It is heavy making it harder to carry and fire, Thus making it less accurate.

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.

What was the US biggest worry during the Vietnam war?
This probably isn't the biggest problem, but one of the problems. They might of been afraid of the unreliability of the M16, and that many soldiers were being killed by the Vietcong and the extremely reliable AK-47. I think they made upgrades to the M16, so it was a little more reliable, but they still lost a few soldiers.
