M-16:

The M16 is more accurate, fires at a faster rate, lighter, wider range, and more versatile allowing more modifications. Some modifications include a M203 grenade launcher and a silencer. It uses a 5.56 mm caliber bullet. Can fire 700 to 950 rounds/min depending on the modifications and the model. The M16 Isn't as loud as the AK-47. It weighs 8.5 pounds when not loaded and when loaded is 8.79. The barrel length on a standard M16 is 20 inches making it more accurate. Can be effective up to 550 meters. 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. 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. AK-47 has a bad safety mechanism. It has a 16.3 inch barrel. It's effective range is around 100 to 800 meters depending on the weapons sight adjustments. The standard AK-47 can hold a 30 round magazine. It may hold more by adding bigger magazines such as the drum magazine which may hold up to 75 rounds.

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.


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

Which gum has more power M16 or AK 47?

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.
