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.

ANSWER 2...The Ak47 is far more versatile you can leave it outside for weeks and it will fire perfectly wether it be muddy, wet, sandy as it can be used in the jungles, deserts so basically all aroud the world the gun will not jam the early 1950s AKs are still used today infact. the M16 on the other hand is the opposite. Although the new M16s are more reliable and have been improved over the years . True the M16 is 3 times more accurate but a height rate of fire from the AK componsates for this however the M16 is a lot lighter witch makes a difference when in the field and is easier to carry. The AK47 is cheaper than a playstation and has been nick named 'the poor mans rifle' so safety isn't as strong as the M16...Over a 1000000 AKshave been sold with many varyations making it the world most popular firearm. Some argue the AK is more powerful but a slower bullet does more damage as it tears the flesh a fast bullet cuts straight through the bodie. Conclusion it depends on what you mean by reliable.
