@thetrialshot Sure about that? 5,56 has a lot less mass thus less kinetic energy compared to the 7.62x51 NATO true rifle round that the m14 & many other "true" sniper rifles use.. I'm quite sure about this.
It more velocity, than the 7.62x39 AK bullet at least. Meaning it doesn't drop that much in the same range, id figure that aerodynamics are also involved since it's a smaller bullet, it's cuts trough the air better than the AK round that has relatively low gunpowder to the weight of the bullet. The Assault rifle rounds are evolved from cut rifle rounds. The 7.62x51 NATO (m14/G3/m60) and the russian 7.62x54 (pkm/dragunov) have more powder = more speed = more energy..
The 7.62x51 NATO shoots at 850 m/s which is only abit slower than the 5.56x45's 900 m/s (AK is left in the dust by its 720 m/s), but the real difference is the kinetic energy.. Since the 7.62x51 is a way heavier bullet than the 5.56x45 it has lots of more energy 3,504 Joules where as the 5.56 has 1,767 Joules. (1J = 1kgm/s). As physics dictate a higher mass maintains it's speed better, also this migher mass is felt on recoil as dictated by Newtons 3rd law..
That is why I'm pretty sure it has more effective range, although slower, it maintains it's speed better. Just like hitting a baseball vs tennisball.. more "recoil" from the baseball but it goes further even if you hit them both as hard... But as I said I could be wrong, but I don't see any reason why would it have a better effective range..
Quote: "The 7.62×51mm NATO has proved much more effective than 5.56×45mm at long ranges, and has since found popularity as a sniping round."

Folks, several enlisted men received more decorations than Col. Hackworth. As Col. Hackworth explained, decorations given to enlisted men are more credible than those given to officers.
Col. Bob Howard was an enlisted man when he undertook the actions for which he received several of his decorations.

Wow, all this internet debating over 7.62 and 5.56... the biggest issue with the M16 is the current ammo. M855 was designed to counter Soviet body armor. The Hajees don't wear armor so the round tends to pierce through in a pin hole. The steel core does not fragment the way the old M193 did. All these "stories" of people getting hit many times and walking away are pure BS.
simplestuff31 sorry but its 7.62x54 for 308 not 7.62x39 unless your using an ak47 as a long range warfare not even close to the 308 sorry my man but good info on ballistics an powder charge differences
and another great rifle that should have gone further than it did. some may argue the merits of the merits of its cartridge vs its replacement, but even a child knows that 30 is bigger than 22
yeah except the gun couldnt be shot full auto because it flew all over the place. thats why the description says "controlled". its good for a sniper rifle though, and they still use them in iraq/afganistan whatever
The AK47 is the ultimate "people's rifle" meaning untrained peasants if you want to be honest. Untrained folks tend to "spray and pray" so they rarely hit anything beyond 100 yards. Poor accuracy at 200 yards is not an issue. If peasant armies need to shoot at 200 yards they use other rifles with real riflemen.
The most decorated officer of the Vietnam era, Col. David Hackworth, wrote that he NEVER heard of an enemy soldier using a captured M16. Hackworth allowed his men to use captured AKs; he also traded them to other US outfits for supplies. He complained to his superiors that the M16 would kill many American boys by jamming; they laughed at him for caring and told him to buy stock in Colt. "Hack" was known as the best battalion commander in Vietnam but later turned against the war.
@Skeptic121 I could be wrong, and I will be sure to confirm whether I am or not at some point... But your history may be a bit off. I believe that Col. Bob Howard, was the most highly decorated of the era. I further believe that he is the most highly decorated soldier.. of all time.
@Skeptic121 Has any one here ever hear of Chesty Puller, or Audie Murphy. Audie has held the title of the most decorated soldier of all time for quite a while now, but I have been told that Chesty had one more decoration than Audie.
@HavocProductions1943 Hi! Did you and Hack serve together or were you there after Hack left in 1971? Given his record I tend not to think he was lying... Do you mean you saw dead Americans (and ARVNs) stripped of their M16s OR did you actually CAPTURE or KILL VC who were in the act of using a captured M16?
I can imagine VC taking M16s to document their kills, even if they would never USE them. Communists are always compulsive record-keepers, as Hack himself used to his advantage!
@HavocProductions1943 i had 3 uncles in vietnam at the time fighting in the AIF(australia infrantry force) and they said they sometimes were in fire-fights with the yanks (americans) and a few would drop and they would come back after theres no more shooting they would find the weapons gona or smashed
AK-47 is virtually indestructible, and it's the most popular and successful weapon in the world. Accuracy isn't always great and it's got a large recoil, for an assault rifle. Personally, I'd prefer an M14 over it because of it's power and accuracy. Accuracy is extremely important because by the time someone gets close to shooting you, they'll already have a bullet in their head.
US Army 65-68. I much prefered the M 14 to the toy M 16. Nice sights windage included. Very durable. The AK was loose and poorly machined but indestructable. Loved the 14 though!
Call the M-16 a toy but it has performed outstandingly in combat for over 40 years and probably for another 40. The M-14 is an amazing rifle but the M-16 is a little better with a strait body to compensate recoil and the smaller round you can carry more and the bullet is just as powerful because the back of it tumbles forward after hitting the target while the tip virtually stops causing it to tear at the insides of its target. YUM
hahahaa. yeah the 5.56 is as powerful as a 30-06. thats a joke right? i personally know a few soldiers, they have numerous stories of pumping 3 round burst into the enemy and that still doesnt stop them. The 5.56 is not a man stopper like the 30 cal round. And i dont know if you can even say the m16 models (m4, m16a1 etc.) have performed outstandingly. they are accurate but not reliable.
if he put a three round burst in one of them they will go down he mustve missed with one/two of them. and the ballistics of the 5.56 are actually better then a 7.62x39 which is 308 caliber and it does what i said it hits and tumbles in the body and rips internals.the m16 and m4 actually are very reliable. the colt m4 is the only arm in its class that meets all the requirements of the military and it has an improved mechanism that jams less and 96% of jams with it are 10 sec or less or in the mag
ask anyone who knows a lot about the ballistics of those two rounds and they will tell you that anywhere 100 yards and closer the 7.62 x39 has way more of a punch than the 5.56. they have there trade offs. The 5.56 has accuracy and range, the 7.62 has brutal stopping power.
Inside one hundred yards the 5.56 is travelling so fast it litterally hits and falls apart and tumbles causing major internal damage and is very wide on the expansion of force. The 7.62x39 hits and goes strait through causing very little damage on top of what the bullet itself does. I have personally seen ballistic gel models of both rounds and the damage from the 5.56 if much much wider.
@SimpleStuff31 You are being a bit vague. What ammunition was used in the tests? M855 would not have quite the devastating effects that you are referring to at less than 100 meters. Many commercial rounds, however, would.
3 round burst into people? Your "friends" are lying, or just plain poor marksmen. Anyone in any service knows 3 round burst is not meant to fire directly at anyone, its used for cover fire, only. I can put more rounds down range much more accurately and nearly as fast with semi auto. The 5.56 is very fast and accurate within 300 meters.. past that, it looses effectiveness. the 7.62 is more a man stopper yes, but better just depends on your mission.
yes 3 round burst. the particular marine said he was entering a building and they were clearing rooms. he had full auto on his m4 selected and they shot 3 rounds into a man and he kept firing back. a soldier near him was hit in the vest
@wrestler950zoey Alright gentlemen, let's not confuse ourselves. You can not compare 5.56 and 7.62. These are just dimensions. Have you any honest idea, the myriad of ammunition types there are within those dimensions? You can not possibly argue ballistics of one over the other without being more specific. And you are also arguing two different things. One, talking about Fragmentation, and the other - foot-pounds of terminal energy. Learn Physics.
@Verbickas Very correct. I never make it my business to argue about 5.56 vs 7.62. There is no point. They are two completely different animals (if you like) and cannot be compared nor can one replace the other. They are better suited to different tasks.
@sgtcrab1 The M16 was indeed a toy in your era. With modern technology, it has advanced into something far more accurate. The M16 DMRs that our Unit produces are capable of holding, in most cases, 1MOA. Which is nearly unheard of, outside the realm of so called 'sniper rifles'.
In my opinion it is way more accurate, has more stopping power and yes in certain times it is more reliably than a ak47. I own a m1a or m14 and is hands down my favorite rifle next to the m1 garand
m14 does.. bigger heavier bullet.. more accurate and more range than the ak.. m14 is also more multipurpose.. can be used as an infantry rifle or a used as a DMR and is used in other countries as a support automatic rifle. the effective range of an ak47 is around 400 yards while the m14with a scope with the heavier .308 bullet will reach 800 yards
Yeah, but I was talking about the kalashnikovs reliability and durability. That beats the M14. But the M14 has very good reliability and durability compared to other weapons today. M14 is overall superior to the Ak of course. Like you said the range of the ak is very limited.
The AK47's action was based of the Garand action. The M14 is the evolution of the M1 Garand. The M14 is just as reliable as the AK47 but with a better round.
In reliability and durability. Don't get me wrong though! The M14 is awesome in these areas as well. The M-14 is my personally favorite rifle of all time!
I've heard experienced vietnam vets say that they work through mud, sand, salt-water, and dirt.
I don't know about rust though... But, honestly, any soldier who can take care of an M16 can probably take care of an M14, so I think it's safe to say that they're definitely more reliable than an M16, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're as reliable as an AK-47.
If any others who visit this video enjoy making comments, but do not enjoy being corrected if you are wrong.. please. Spare me, and everyone else by not commenting..

Yeah, but I was talking about the kalashnikovs reliability and durability. That beats the M14. But the M14 has very good reliability and durability compared to other weapons today. M14 is overall superior to the Ak of course. Like you said the range of the ak is very limited.

The AK47's action was based of the Garand action. The M14 is the evolution of the M1 Garand. The M14 is just as reliable as the AK47 but with a better round.

You are actually wrong. The M14 is VERY reliable, but the AK-47 beats it.

How does the AK47 beat the M14?
disturbedone5009 2 years ago
In reliability and durability. Don't get me wrong though! The M14 is awesome in these areas as well. The M-14 is my personally favorite rifle of all time!

People think the AK47 is impossible to jam but I saw one jam 3 times in a row and fail to feed at the shooting range.

Do you believe that any of these other viewers know what a DMR is? Without employing Google, that is.

I've heard experienced vietnam vets say that they work through mud, sand, salt-water, and dirt.
I don't know about rust though... But, honestly, any soldier who can take care of an M16 can probably take care of an M14, so I think it's safe to say that they're definitely more reliable than an M16, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're as reliable as an AK-47.
