light weight, accurate, long range & modular. By modular I mean the ability to remove the upper receiver & BCG to change calibers or go from patrol configuration to designated marksman or sniper configuration.
@oeyesea Such things become impractical when you're bound by a logistics system. I don't really hear of soldiers being issued two uppers or two calibers. There wouldn't be any need to change calibers if they didn't screw up by choosing the 5.56x45 or 7.62x51. Bullpup rifles can be as short as M4, and still have the long barrel for long range shooting.
If I was in Vietnam I would kill the enemy with my M16 and steal his AK-47 or just Take it from a dead body,I would then kill or steal his buddies magazines and be a badass at the base with the AK-47.
M16 IS BETTER. Here's y. Power is no difference between these 2 guns. both will kill u when placed in the right spot. the m16 has better accuracy meaning it will hit ur target unlike the ak 47. no point of power if u cant hit ur target. the only thing the ak 47 has is reliability. RELIABILITY IS THE ONLY PERK

When I'm walking through the woods, the furthest I can see is about 80 yards tops, with a bunch of trees in the way, & that is in the winter when all the leaves are off the trees. Which cartridge is better in those conditions?
@SSgt24thMEU Not around here. I get my ammo at the hardware store, or the general store. Or I can go to Wal Mart if I want to drive for 2 hours. Online 6.8 is $19 for a box of 20rds.. $18 for a box of 300 Blackout 20rds. They are rare, & expensive. I can get a box of 7.62x39 20rds for $4 5.56 20rds for $6. Hopefully they become more common one day. Until then, I can't justify the cost, & rarity for a slightly enhanced ballistic edge.
the m16a4 is an amazing weapon today, and back then soldiers would often tamper with the recoil spring trying to reduce the RPM. So it's not really the rifles fault. The m16 platform may not be as tolerable as the AK platform but the rifles are still very good for combat
@kingsback23 But less range and accuracy, heavier, and plus, just because something is bigger doesn't mean it won't fuck you up faster. If you get shot your not just going to say 'Tis' but a flesh wound', no, your going to be on the ground crying, if you're not dead.

@geforce5700fx What they mean is the Ak47 less parts, is easier and faster to take apart and put back together, so forth, and the m16 had more parts, more parts that can stop functioning, therefore giving it a higher percentage of jamming or breaking. I'm an m16/ar15 person all the way, but I do have to admit the ak is way more reliable.
@geforce5700fx did you pay any attention to the documentary? It was because of the rounds and because the soldiers weren't issued any cleaning kits. The M16 and some newer versions rarely jam nowadays.
@simba00784 But thats not the compromise they were looking for.
assault rifles were weapons for the soldier who couldnt see the enemy because of all the cover such as plants so they would lay down fire on areas where the enemy could be. By having lightier rounds they could carry more ammo therefor be able to lay down more fire on areas where the enemy could be. Heavy rounds would do the trick but if your gunna have a heavy round, you might as well have it for a machine gun than an Assault rifle
Also, fighting in the jungle means that the further away, the more obstacle on the way and limit the hitting capability. So, VietNamese chose to fight close to increase the effectiveness of their ambushes: inflicting more casualties on enemies and preserve their force as much as possible.
VietNamese army doesn't get close because of the M16 range superior, they get close just because of the artillery and air superiority of America. A little misunderstanding or bias here.
Accuracy is nothing if your rifle is not durable. I'd rather have a rifle that fires even if i crawl out of mud, than a rifle that needs to be squeaky clean to fire reliably.
@L3gion3r That 'fat disgusting pedophile guy' served as a Marine in Vietnam who earned a Purple Heart and some other decorations. Dude is probably not to be fucked with.
@oiaughwea I did not say he is a pedophiles, just said he looks like one. If he came back just for the decorations, no wonder that so many heroes died and so many pussies survived that obsolete cause. Apparently he did not give enough out of himself to do what he was sent for. The fact that he survived is that he was hiding a lot. Called a survival by the natural laws and a disappointment for the human laws.I don' want to argue. peace Y.
my pa said he kept the m14 over the m16 in 1966 when he was in germany on stand by he said his buddy john james who was stationed in vietnam said it would not make a difference if he kept the m14 or m16 because my dad drove a deuce and a half luckly my pa was never deployed
@godzilla1463 can't you tell this was EXTREMELY biased, both guns are great the AK achieves great range if you know how to use it, i've hit targets at 300+ meters with the iron sights, on semi auto it is controllable at these ranges, now at a closer range 3-5 round bursts work for me as well.
in real combat situation, you need a gun that user-friendly, reliable, robust and accurate and comes with optimal magazine capacity and optimal calibre with good knockdown power.
Armalite M16 is like every gun made by US, quality engneering. It is complicated and requires care, however will shoot accurately under ideal conditions. Made as if the firearm was for personal ownership. The Kalashnikov was rather crude and simple, sort of an industrial weapon.
@muhyiting The problem is you can't demonize all AR-15 designs, there were over a dozen different designs that fired all sorts of different ammunition, there is even one called the SR-47 that is the AR-15 design but, it can take AK-47 mags and fire the 7.62x39mm round.
@GunsOfThePhoenix very true and well said. however, the video is just comparing between the two designs, heavily relying on data from previous combat experiences. both have loads of variations. the AK design for example have come in different calibers, even copying a smaller cartridge, in the AK 74 and even 101 and current versions. I have different grades of qulaity among the China, Bulgaria, Egyptian made AKs.
It proves that in way, the concept for a high velocity, less-recoil round is sound.
@GunsOfThePhoenix I have previously owned several M16 types, all are quality made. I still think the AK design is an industrial tool, made for military. M16 designs are real engineering, precise but needs more care.
bet you guys a thousand dollars you compare a m4 and ak47 i bet the m4 will kick the ak47s ass the m16 a1 is phased the m16a4 is still in service but mostly m4s.
Weight=m4
reliable= m4 and ak47 ties cause they fixed the m16 after the vietnam war and m4.
accurate= m4 and you can attach stuff with the m4 so a nother plus m4 for the win guys US best military in the world!!!!!!!!!
@dbzdugan realiability wise the Ak still kicks the M4's ass. Oh and if you look at it that way, then compare the M4 with some newer AK based guns suck as the AK102 or AN-94-they win!
I don't understand people who glorify the AK-47 over the M-16. If the AK-47 was so much better, then why has the American Army used it for decades and won countless engagements with it. The M-16 is for real men, the men of the American military.
@luckey313 US uses m16/m4 because using AK is not possible. Using AK would prove that soviet union had better weapons. It´s just matter of politics why they couldn´t use AK. On the other hand, M16 and M4 are more reliable now, (even though not as reliable as AK) so there is no problem using them. They are just good enough to be used. Not the best there is, but good enough.
The only way the AK is more reliable is through its durability, which, in turn, affects its weight. The M-16 prevails in every other way (except caliber, of course).
@luckey313 Yes, you are right. M16 and M4 don´t jam so easily anymore, but we shouldn´t compare newer M16A3 to old AK47. We should compare it to newer AKM and AK74, which have low recoil and 5.45 bullet. Not to mention the excellent reliability.
OK BUT MAIN FACT IS ITS NOT MOST IMMPORTANT THING TO HIT TARGET BUT ITS ALSO TO SUPPRES THE ENEMY AND IF UR WEAPON IS JAMED U ARE LIKE ZOMBI THERE FROM SITUATION IM WINNING BATTLE TO HEY IS THAT JESUS
A m16 round would break apart and spread throughout the body causing alot of damage. meaning the bullet wasnt as strong as an ak47 round, but it causes more damaged to flesh, then an ak47 round. The jamming part also happened alot but the military has added improvements the the m16. I recently held a modern m16 and it was full metal, not plastic not the vietnam m16
Can you imagine what the m16 would be like if it was designed with a piston instead of direct impingement? It would be a heck of a lot better gun and soldiers would've liked it.
here's a question for anyone brave enough to consider it. what woulda happened if we had invested all that time, energy and money into bettering the AK-47 instead of trying to reinvent the a better mousetrap with the M-16? what's even MORE amazing is that even after the M-16 blew up in Vietnam we're STILL using the stupid thing! 40+ years later and the idiots in Washington STILL won't admit they're wrong! (sigh!)
@jteshuwah Ask Russia. They've already modernized the AK with the AK 100 series. Starting with the AK 74M, the features of the AK 100 series include a 90 degree gas block, AK 74 style muzzle brake (Which reduces muzzle climb and recoil significantly), High strength plastic furniture, optics mount, and a side folding, solid butt-stock. They come in 3 calibers, 5.45x39 (AK 74M, and AK 105), 7.62x39 (AK 103 and 104), and even 5.56x45 (AK 101 and 102). These rifles are far superior to the old AK's.
@DinoHunter2 very cool! i my opinion, the Ak is one of the best weapons ever built and i'm glad to see they're still perfecting it, making it better! great news thanks! how long ago did the Russians make these improvements? love to see what they've got going on now! i just wish i understood why America wasted so much time money and lives trying to do their own thing instead of making these sorts of improvements themselves!
@jteshuwah Russia made the AK 74M just before the Soviet Union Collapsed. The Rest of the 100 series were developed in 1994. Then there's the AK 107/108, in 5.45 and 5.56, which is bassically an AEK 971's action plopped onto an AK. That action along with the muzzle brake results in a gun with ABSOLUTELY NO RECOIL OR MUZZLE CLIMB. As for the US not using it, blame the Cold War and Costs. It would cost alot of money to retool all the factories to produce the AK and it's bullet
@DinoHunter2 granted. but if America had focused on "adopting" and perfecting the AK back when they were playing around with the M-16, they wouldn't have HAD to retool to produce the new AK nowadays and a lot of men would have stayed alive, besides! it's the fact that they went through all the rigamarole to develop the M-16 AT ALL that leaves me shaking my head! why all the fuss to build a better mouse trap when the old ones work just fine?
@jteshuwah I agree. The M16 isn't as reliable as the AK, and that the AK is a better gun. American Soldiers are trained to constantly Clean their M16's/M4's in order to prevent jammings from happening, but even then, they jam. As much as I'd like to see the AK in American hands, Adopting the AK (in the US government's eyes) would make America look bad, as that basically means that they "Gave in" to the Communist Ideology that created the gun.
@DinoHunter2 yeah, that's the same kind of thinking that explains why we Americans haven't adopted the dollar coin, the metric system, or socialized medicine, etc, etc! i love my country, but we tend to be too "ideological" in all the wrong areas and not enough in the ways that count! seems like America not wanting to look bad only matters as long as it doesn't affect its pocket book or having to admit it's wrong! i love my country, but I, for one, didn't vote for most of our "ahem" "leaders!"
@jteshuwah agreed. Us Canucks had to be stuck in the middle during the Cold War. We didn't want American Nukes, but we set up an Anti-nuke defense system anyway. While America was trying (Unsuccessfully) to invade Cuba, we made friends with the Cubans etc etc.
@DinoHunter2 I think we should have stayed on our own ammunition with the 30.06 round (7.62x63mm). Fired from an M14 like rifle, the M14 worked a whole lot better then both the AR-15 and the AK rifles, so just make an M14 in 30.06 and you will have the ideal gun. Alternatively we could use a gun like Finland has RK. 62 which is based on the AK design but, of Finnish origin.
@GunsOfThePhoenix 30-06 has just as much recoil, if not more so, than the M14's original caliber, .308 (7.62x51 NATO). Just check out the gun the M14 evolved from, the M1 Garand, which is basically that (Minus Select fire and 20 round detachable magazine). Even though the M14 is a great gun (Accurate, Powerful, Reliable), it has it's drawbacks (Heavy at 12 lbs unloaded, No Pistol grip and decent muzzle brake equals rediculous muzzle climb and recoil on base models etc). It's better off as a DMR.
@DinoHunter2 actually, when the weapon was first fielded with its origionall wood furniture, it weighed about what you said 11.5-12 pounds, which actually helped tame the guns recoil, the heavier the weapon the more recoil it absorbs. But when it entered the shit climate of Vietnam, it was found the furniture would warp from the enviroment, so they switched to the synthetic stock that took about 2 to 3 punds off the weight, resluting in heavier recoil due to the lighter weapon.
@motlencore89 Also, the way the stock was originally designed contributed to the recoil, as it formed a pivot, so the gun would rise UP. Compare an Original M14 with the M14E2 (Which has a pistol grip, straighter stock, folding foregrip and better muzzle brake) and you'll see a DRAMATIC difference in recoil and muzzle climb.
@GunsOfThePhoenix the M-14 doesnt fire the 30-06 bud, its the 308 (7.62x51mmNATO more specifically) but i can see your misinturpritation, ballistically they are very similar, actually the 308 is actually based of the 30-06, but the new round addressed head spacing issues, and just sheer size with the 30-06 not very welly suited with Fully automatic weapons. Instead of calling you an idiot and acting immature, i just addressed your error.
@motlencore89 I know the M14 fires the .308 but we should bring it back in a variation that fires an UPDATED 30.06 round. You remember the BAR gun? That was a full auto 30.06 rifle that had very few malfunctions so yes you can do it.
@GunsOfThePhoenix I like your think, but here's the thing: the BAR weighed between 15 - 20 pounds depending on the model. Compare that to the M14 at 11 pounds. Lighter weapon + Full Power Rifle Bullet = Ridiculous recoil. The BAR was intended as a Portable Machine gun, not a Battle rifle like the M14.
@jteshuwah (Continued) not to mention to replace all the M16's/M4's in service with AK's. Plus, the US army wanted a gun that's accurate, and even though the AR 15 series are more accurate than AK's, accuracy has more to do with who's shooting it than what gun you have. Let's imagine an Alternate universe in Which the US is using AK's, and Insurgents using the M16. I don't think the results would be much different than now (US = better shots, Insurgents = Spray and pray/poor shots).
@DinoHunter2 yeah, training and preparedness DO make a tremendous difference in the field and accuracy IS terribly important, but what does that have to do with the fact that America is taking 2nd rate weapons that seize up and rust out on the battefield? all the money and military might in the world won't save you if you're gun won't shoot! what gets me is the US military openly ACKNOWLEDGES the AK is the better gun, but STILL won't adopt the AK!
@jteshuwah *CONTINUED* Up here in Canada, I'd love to see Our Canadian troops use an AK; We canucks use rip-offs of American Weapons. Plus Our environment pretty much requires a gun that's reliable (Not much different than Soviet Russia was back in the day lol).
That is also why AK is much simpler in both operation and maintenance. It is made to be as noob-friendly as possible. Not saying that Russian soldiers are of *that* low quality. On the other hand, M16 is everything but simple, unless one has spent at least a month with it day in and day out. What made it suck in Vietnam was the more to the fact that the soldiers using M16 weren't that familiar with it, and the worst offender being the absence of freakin' CLEANING KIT!!
In comparing both rifles, the doctrine that underlies both designs must be looked at as well. AK-47 is designed with the idea that the ones using it would be conscripts with low level of training. Hence, it has to be as robust as possible to endure as much abuse as possible. AR-15/M-16 is designed with the idea that the ones using it would be highly trained soldier that has developed a habit of cleaning weapons like breathing.
Did you see that veteran who said his m16 jammed in combat? That is NOT a gun that should be used by any army. That could have costed him his life. While if he had an AK47, it would have fired. That makes all the difference in the world. It's plastic, it jams, it gets dirty, what trash, could have costed tons of soldiers their lifes.
Video's like this one that do not tell the truth about the M16 are exactly why you see all these ignorant kids on every AK and M16 AR video talking crap making up lies about the M16 or AR .
Just take a look at the stupid ignorant posted comments here left by kids that don't have a clue to what their talking about or the worst liars just make up big lies so thy can look bigger than the last pathetic liar !
If the M16 did everything that was said in the video it would have been dropped long ago.
This video is strongly showing a favoring side to the AK and not telling truthful information about the M16 .
I have owned 20+ AR's and owned a M16 Pluss I have a strong 9 year business bulding AR's for sale .
I personal own AR15's AR10's build AR's and know every part and funtion of the AR and M16 so allot of negetive information said in this video about the M16 is total fabricated lies !
@PrashantSinghs Ok so how long does it take to push the pin out in the back of the lower reciever of the M16 that pivet the gun open pull the charging handle back with the bolt carrier .
You then have all the critical working parts in your hand .
I can take down and put the M16 back together all I can do it in under 30 seconds !
So I suggest before you post more stupid information you need to get your hands on a real M16 or AR 15.
To someone who keeps on bringing M14/M1 to the discussion - M14 and M1 are classified as battle rifles, firing full-size rifle cartridge (7.62x51mm), NOT intermediate cartridge the likes of 5.56 and 7.62x39. Russian counterpart of it would be 7.62x54. You are comparing rifles of an entirely different class with what the video is discussing.
@kop4321 Good luck trying to get any of these kids that spand their days playing video war games showing the Ak blowing down buildings with a single round that the M16 is superior to any AK every made .
@1992TheRooster Thanks, but one would study the comments left here by kids then any adult would begain to think is their any intelligent kids left in America or Canada ?
OH and those Australian Kids my god all a bunch of American hating knuckle heads that think Bush is still president and every America starts wars for oil !
Try cutting China off of oil then we see a global war of the likes never seen in world history ! em I right ?
Ok I will correct these gun gambits. Here's the deal, accuracy is from the shooter not the gun. I laughed when I saw the AK shooter. He has no experience. The AK is reliable accurate ( if used by a man with balls), strong, popular, and last but not least MODERNIZED EVERY FRICKIN YEAR.
lol dumb ass video...m-16 vs ak-47 ...what a comparison haha!!!!!!try making a fair comparison...FYI: Russia responded to the 5.56 round with the 5.45 round that is fired out of the ak-74....I highly doubt that a rifle (the ak variant) that has been in service for over 6 decades is really all that bad! Was the 5.56 round invented in 1947?...I don't think so! this is comparing a rifle that fires 160 grain bullet to one that fires a 60 grain bullet... Apples to Oranges for the FAILZ!!!
First of, the M16/M4 platform is a great weapon if you keep it clean. However, the engineer officer's assessment that: " lighter is ALWAYS better".... If that is so, then why have the Army and Marines started re-issuing M14s, chambered in the much heavier 7.62x51(NATO)? Oh, because it is a much more effective round.... So much for lighter is better....
Also the military fucked up and issued ball powder when Stoner told them to use stick powder, and Stoner was pissed they did not issue cleaning kits to the men in nam. The military tried to sabotage the M16 and our troops, because macamera pushed it though. They must had lost stock options on the deal.
5.56 No one lives after being hit in the torso with it. You find me one person alive today who got hit in the chest with one 5.56 round. You will not be able to do it. And dont fucking confuse a .223 with a 5.56 round. idiots do that all day long.
@judas666iscariot something newer is not necessary something better. The AK47 may be the best assautl weapon ever invented, the M16 has been remodeled many times, just now US army uses M6A4 (4th version from first one), and the AK47 is the same design since 1947, still working very well without any chance.
The AK-47 is cheaper, easier to maintain, has better penetration, and stopping power, its fully automatic, and has a shorter barrel providing better mobility in close quarters. the M16 is more accurate, lighter weight, and possess a further effective range. The AK-47, has a 5 to 3 advantage ratio over the M16.
im gonna take a real opinion from someone who's tested both of them in combat, like my grandfather. He remarked the M-16 was a peice of shit when it first came out, it was extremely fragile, and jammed fairly often, and he remarked the stopping power could have been better as well, instead of the guy flinching, keep shooting at you, then like 10 minutes later bleed out and die. he took a AK-47 that had been in a rice paddie for a month, and emptied all 30 rounds into the ground without a jam.
@motlencore89 the only reason the m16 issued in vietnam where peaces of junk is they did not issue them with a cleaning kit even ak47s are issued with a ceaning kit in any army of any size and with modern advances gas piston chrom chamber bolt ect ect the m16 is just as reliable as any ak47 and stopping power has never been a issue with a m16 and this video is bs i love how they say you cant beat somone with a m16 lmao i have personally beat the shit of of trees with a m16 with no problems
@motlencore89 Ok how many times are you kids goung to repeat this same old lie ?
This is almost word for word what other kids have repeaded in you tube posted messages .
The pathetic lie of an AK in a rice paddie field or a swamp for months then someone picks it up and it fires has been use so many times by kids its way past stupid .
These lies become like one liar tryed to out do the past liar with a bigger lie !
@TehBloodyYank556 im not sure, i try not to ask him about combat experience, he is so emotionally scarred he hasnt picked up a gun since the end of the war. He said once the ammo was changed to the correct type, malfunctions were much less common. Im sure he didnt use the AK very often, thats a good way to attract friendly fire from a squad member thinking you were a tango, but when shit hits the wall, and your guns jammed up, he didnt think twice about it.
I would NEVER trust my life to an M16/AR-15... NEVER. They belong locked up in a clear display to look PRETTY as shelf-QUEEN rifles. When its time for action, the AK47 is the trusty MACHO-machine. AK47 = MACHO MAN, AR15/M16 = pretty shelf-QUEEN.
It REALLY is THAT simple folks!!! The "MACHO MAN", or the "QUEEN"...take your pick. Its ok you GIRLY GUYS out there who pick the "QUEEN", its ok, Just dont get your PANTIES in a bunch, heh, heh, heh. You M16/AR15 queenies, heh heh heh
@SargentBlah I can see where your coming from but take the soldiers in the late 60's in nam. The m16 was all they had. Sure they could pick up a ak. But the chances of friendly fire was much much more increased. Id rather have a gun than no gun at all. Just throwing my opinion out there.

@oeyesea Such things become impractical when you're bound by a logistics system. I don't really hear of soldiers being issued two uppers or two calibers. There wouldn't be any need to change calibers if they didn't screw up by choosing the 5.56x45 or 7.62x51. Bullpup rifles can be as short as M4, and still have the long barrel for long range shooting.

@TheMrkukulcan UR WRONG. Here's y. Power is no difference between these 2 guns. both will kill u when placed in the right spot. the m16 has better accuracy meaning it will hit ur target unlike the ak 47. no point of power if u cant hit ur target. the only thing the ak 47 has is reliability. RELIABILITY IS THE ONLY PERK

codwawlover45 2 months ago
@geforce5700fx What they mean is the Ak47 less parts, is easier and faster to take apart and put back together, so forth, and the m16 had more parts, more parts that can stop functioning, therefore giving it a higher percentage of jamming or breaking. I'm an m16/ar15 person all the way, but I do have to admit the ak is way more reliable.

simba00784 5 months ago
@simba00784 But thats not the compromise they were looking for.
assault rifles were weapons for the soldier who couldnt see the enemy because of all the cover such as plants so they would lay down fire on areas where the enemy could be. By having lightier rounds they could carry more ammo therefor be able to lay down more fire on areas where the enemy could be. Heavy rounds would do the trick but if your gunna have a heavy round, you might as well have it for a machine gun than an Assault rifle

Also, fighting in the jungle means that the further away, the more obstacle on the way and limit the hitting capability. So, VietNamese chose to fight close to increase the effectiveness of their ambushes: inflicting more casualties on enemies and preserve their force as much as possible.

Armalite M16 is like every gun made by US, quality engneering. It is complicated and requires care, however will shoot accurately under ideal conditions. Made as if the firearm was for personal ownership. The Kalashnikov was rather crude and simple, sort of an industrial weapon.
muhyiting 7 months ago
@muhyiting The problem is you can't demonize all AR-15 designs, there were over a dozen different designs that fired all sorts of different ammunition, there is even one called the SR-47 that is the AR-15 design but, it can take AK-47 mags and fire the 7.62x39mm round.
GunsOfThePhoenix 7 months ago
@GunsOfThePhoenix very true and well said. however, the video is just comparing between the two designs, heavily relying on data from previous combat experiences. both have loads of variations. the AK design for example have come in different calibers, even copying a smaller cartridge, in the AK 74 and even 101 and current versions. I have different grades of qulaity among the China, Bulgaria, Egyptian made AKs.
It proves that in way, the concept for a high velocity, less-recoil round is sound.
muhyiting 6 months ago
@GunsOfThePhoenix I have previously owned several M16 types, all are quality made. I still think the AK design is an industrial tool, made for military. M16 designs are real engineering, precise but needs more care.

I don't understand people who glorify the AK-47 over the M-16. If the AK-47 was so much better, then why has the American Army used it for decades and won countless engagements with it. The M-16 is for real men, the men of the American military.

@luckey313 US uses m16/m4 because using AK is not possible. Using AK would prove that soviet union had better weapons. It´s just matter of politics why they couldn´t use AK. On the other hand, M16 and M4 are more reliable now, (even though not as reliable as AK) so there is no problem using them. They are just good enough to be used. Not the best there is, but good enough.

The only way the AK is more reliable is through its durability, which, in turn, affects its weight. The M-16 prevails in every other way (except caliber, of course).

@luckey313 Yes, you are right. M16 and M4 don´t jam so easily anymore, but we shouldn´t compare newer M16A3 to old AK47. We should compare it to newer AKM and AK74, which have low recoil and 5.45 bullet. Not to mention the excellent reliability.

A m16 round would break apart and spread throughout the body causing alot of damage. meaning the bullet wasnt as strong as an ak47 round, but it causes more damaged to flesh, then an ak47 round. The jamming part also happened alot but the military has added improvements the the m16. I recently held a modern m16 and it was full metal, not plastic not the vietnam m16

jteshuwah 9 months ago
@jteshuwah Ask Russia. They've already modernized the AK with the AK 100 series. Starting with the AK 74M, the features of the AK 100 series include a 90 degree gas block, AK 74 style muzzle brake (Which reduces muzzle climb and recoil significantly), High strength plastic furniture, optics mount, and a side folding, solid butt-stock. They come in 3 calibers, 5.45x39 (AK 74M, and AK 105), 7.62x39 (AK 103 and 104), and even 5.56x45 (AK 101 and 102). These rifles are far superior to the old AK's.
DinoHunter2 8 months ago
@DinoHunter2 very cool! i my opinion, the Ak is one of the best weapons ever built and i'm glad to see they're still perfecting it, making it better! great news thanks! how long ago did the Russians make these improvements? love to see what they've got going on now! i just wish i understood why America wasted so much time money and lives trying to do their own thing instead of making these sorts of improvements themselves!
jteshuwah 8 months ago
@jteshuwah Russia made the AK 74M just before the Soviet Union Collapsed. The Rest of the 100 series were developed in 1994. Then there's the AK 107/108, in 5.45 and 5.56, which is bassically an AEK 971's action plopped onto an AK. That action along with the muzzle brake results in a gun with ABSOLUTELY NO RECOIL OR MUZZLE CLIMB. As for the US not using it, blame the Cold War and Costs. It would cost alot of money to retool all the factories to produce the AK and it's bullet
DinoHunter2 8 months ago
@DinoHunter2 granted. but if America had focused on "adopting" and perfecting the AK back when they were playing around with the M-16, they wouldn't have HAD to retool to produce the new AK nowadays and a lot of men would have stayed alive, besides! it's the fact that they went through all the rigamarole to develop the M-16 AT ALL that leaves me shaking my head! why all the fuss to build a better mouse trap when the old ones work just fine?
jteshuwah 8 months ago
@jteshuwah I agree. The M16 isn't as reliable as the AK, and that the AK is a better gun. American Soldiers are trained to constantly Clean their M16's/M4's in order to prevent jammings from happening, but even then, they jam. As much as I'd like to see the AK in American hands, Adopting the AK (in the US government's eyes) would make America look bad, as that basically means that they "Gave in" to the Communist Ideology that created the gun.
DinoHunter2 8 months ago
@DinoHunter2 yeah, that's the same kind of thinking that explains why we Americans haven't adopted the dollar coin, the metric system, or socialized medicine, etc, etc! i love my country, but we tend to be too "ideological" in all the wrong areas and not enough in the ways that count! seems like America not wanting to look bad only matters as long as it doesn't affect its pocket book or having to admit it's wrong! i love my country, but I, for one, didn't vote for most of our "ahem" "leaders!"

@jteshuwah agreed. Us Canucks had to be stuck in the middle during the Cold War. We didn't want American Nukes, but we set up an Anti-nuke defense system anyway. While America was trying (Unsuccessfully) to invade Cuba, we made friends with the Cubans etc etc.
DinoHunter2 7 months ago
@DinoHunter2 I think we should have stayed on our own ammunition with the 30.06 round (7.62x63mm). Fired from an M14 like rifle, the M14 worked a whole lot better then both the AR-15 and the AK rifles, so just make an M14 in 30.06 and you will have the ideal gun. Alternatively we could use a gun like Finland has RK. 62 which is based on the AK design but, of Finnish origin.
GunsOfThePhoenix 7 months ago
@GunsOfThePhoenix 30-06 has just as much recoil, if not more so, than the M14's original caliber, .308 (7.62x51 NATO). Just check out the gun the M14 evolved from, the M1 Garand, which is basically that (Minus Select fire and 20 round detachable magazine). Even though the M14 is a great gun (Accurate, Powerful, Reliable), it has it's drawbacks (Heavy at 12 lbs unloaded, No Pistol grip and decent muzzle brake equals rediculous muzzle climb and recoil on base models etc). It's better off as a DMR.
DinoHunter2 7 months ago
@DinoHunter2 actually, when the weapon was first fielded with its origionall wood furniture, it weighed about what you said 11.5-12 pounds, which actually helped tame the guns recoil, the heavier the weapon the more recoil it absorbs. But when it entered the shit climate of Vietnam, it was found the furniture would warp from the enviroment, so they switched to the synthetic stock that took about 2 to 3 punds off the weight, resluting in heavier recoil due to the lighter weapon.
motlencore89 7 months ago
@motlencore89 Also, the way the stock was originally designed contributed to the recoil, as it formed a pivot, so the gun would rise UP. Compare an Original M14 with the M14E2 (Which has a pistol grip, straighter stock, folding foregrip and better muzzle brake) and you'll see a DRAMATIC difference in recoil and muzzle climb.
DinoHunter2 7 months ago
@GunsOfThePhoenix the M-14 doesnt fire the 30-06 bud, its the 308 (7.62x51mmNATO more specifically) but i can see your misinturpritation, ballistically they are very similar, actually the 308 is actually based of the 30-06, but the new round addressed head spacing issues, and just sheer size with the 30-06 not very welly suited with Fully automatic weapons. Instead of calling you an idiot and acting immature, i just addressed your error.
motlencore89 7 months ago
@motlencore89 I know the M14 fires the .308 but we should bring it back in a variation that fires an UPDATED 30.06 round. You remember the BAR gun? That was a full auto 30.06 rifle that had very few malfunctions so yes you can do it.
GunsOfThePhoenix 7 months ago
@GunsOfThePhoenix I like your think, but here's the thing: the BAR weighed between 15 - 20 pounds depending on the model. Compare that to the M14 at 11 pounds. Lighter weapon + Full Power Rifle Bullet = Ridiculous recoil. The BAR was intended as a Portable Machine gun, not a Battle rifle like the M14.
DinoHunter2 7 months ago
@jteshuwah (Continued) not to mention to replace all the M16's/M4's in service with AK's. Plus, the US army wanted a gun that's accurate, and even though the AR 15 series are more accurate than AK's, accuracy has more to do with who's shooting it than what gun you have. Let's imagine an Alternate universe in Which the US is using AK's, and Insurgents using the M16. I don't think the results would be much different than now (US = better shots, Insurgents = Spray and pray/poor shots).
DinoHunter2 8 months ago
@DinoHunter2 yeah, training and preparedness DO make a tremendous difference in the field and accuracy IS terribly important, but what does that have to do with the fact that America is taking 2nd rate weapons that seize up and rust out on the battefield? all the money and military might in the world won't save you if you're gun won't shoot! what gets me is the US military openly ACKNOWLEDGES the AK is the better gun, but STILL won't adopt the AK!
jteshuwah 8 months ago
@jteshuwah *CONTINUED* Up here in Canada, I'd love to see Our Canadian troops use an AK; We canucks use rip-offs of American Weapons. Plus Our environment pretty much requires a gun that's reliable (Not much different than Soviet Russia was back in the day lol).
DinoHunter2 8 months ago
That is also why AK is much simpler in both operation and maintenance. It is made to be as noob-friendly as possible. Not saying that Russian soldiers are of *that* low quality. On the other hand, M16 is everything but simple, unless one has spent at least a month with it day in and day out. What made it suck in Vietnam was the more to the fact that the soldiers using M16 weren't that familiar with it, and the worst offender being the absence of freakin' CLEANING KIT!!
2205Razors 9 months ago
In comparing both rifles, the doctrine that underlies both designs must be looked at as well. AK-47 is designed with the idea that the ones using it would be conscripts with low level of training. Hence, it has to be as robust as possible to endure as much abuse as possible. AR-15/M-16 is designed with the idea that the ones using it would be highly trained soldier that has developed a habit of cleaning weapons like breathing.

@judas666iscariot something newer is not necessary something better. The AK47 may be the best assautl weapon ever invented, the M16 has been remodeled many times, just now US army uses M6A4 (4th version from first one), and the AK47 is the same design since 1947, still working very well without any chance.

The AK-47 is cheaper, easier to maintain, has better penetration, and stopping power, its fully automatic, and has a shorter barrel providing better mobility in close quarters. the M16 is more accurate, lighter weight, and possess a further effective range. The AK-47, has a 5 to 3 advantage ratio over the M16.

im gonna take a real opinion from someone who's tested both of them in combat, like my grandfather. He remarked the M-16 was a peice of shit when it first came out, it was extremely fragile, and jammed fairly often, and he remarked the stopping power could have been better as well, instead of the guy flinching, keep shooting at you, then like 10 minutes later bleed out and die. he took a AK-47 that had been in a rice paddie for a month, and emptied all 30 rounds into the ground without a jam.

@motlencore89 the only reason the m16 issued in vietnam where peaces of junk is they did not issue them with a cleaning kit even ak47s are issued with a ceaning kit in any army of any size and with modern advances gas piston chrom chamber bolt ect ect the m16 is just as reliable as any ak47 and stopping power has never been a issue with a m16 and this video is bs i love how they say you cant beat somone with a m16 lmao i have personally beat the shit of of trees with a m16 with no problems

@motlencore89 what about in combat for the ak? and how well did he maintain his m16 using correct ammo?
TehBloodyYank556 7 months ago
@TehBloodyYank556 im not sure, i try not to ask him about combat experience, he is so emotionally scarred he hasnt picked up a gun since the end of the war. He said once the ammo was changed to the correct type, malfunctions were much less common. Im sure he didnt use the AK very often, thats a good way to attract friendly fire from a squad member thinking you were a tango, but when shit hits the wall, and your guns jammed up, he didnt think twice about it.

I would NEVER trust my life to an M16/AR-15... NEVER. They belong locked up in a clear display to look PRETTY as shelf-QUEEN rifles. When its time for action, the AK47 is the trusty MACHO-machine. AK47 = MACHO MAN, AR15/M16 = pretty shelf-QUEEN.
It REALLY is THAT simple folks!!! The "MACHO MAN", or the "QUEEN"...take your pick. Its ok you GIRLY GUYS out there who pick the "QUEEN", its ok, Just dont get your PANTIES in a bunch, heh, heh, heh. You M16/AR15 queenies, heh heh heh

@SargentBlah I can see where your coming from but take the soldiers in the late 60's in nam. The m16 was all they had. Sure they could pick up a ak. But the chances of friendly fire was much much more increased. Id rather have a gun than no gun at all. Just throwing my opinion out there.
