  • Fuckin' imperialists!

  • i think comparing these rifles is stupid they both serve the purposes they were built for... A m16 is very accurate and not as durabul as a ak and a ak is not as accurate as a m16. No gun is perfect iv had aks jam to.. if you cant take care of your rifle it wont take care of you simple as that.

  • @hunteraja Yes, they can jam, but rarely if they are well made and have a good mag.

  • @esh325 yea i agree. im just saying an ak isnt some unstoppabul unjamabul gun they can jam but every one seems to think there just the best. ive seen aks jam up to very rarely but it happens...

  • towards the end at about 5:45 you can see charlie sheen in platoon with the type 56

  • i think both weapons look pretty cool, but if i ended up in a war zone i would prepher to have an ak in my hands

  • AK DA BEST

  • It's the Russians trying to convince their soldiers that our weapons are shit.

  • @SD1Airsoft they are

  • @linsluse I know that.

  • @SD1Airsoft stupid american, the m-16 IS shit

  • in my opinion niether are the truely better than each other. each systems are better for different purposes. if you want a battle gun or something that wont jam in battle you go for the akm. if you do a lot of bench shooting and target practics in your back yard then go m16

  • duh! the 5.45mm AKS-74 is better..

  • 2 bad there's no subtitles! mabe i need vodka to understand ! what he's saying !

  • both these guns are outstanding weapons. mostly it comes down to training and the combat situation itself neither one of these rounds will penetrate modern body armor anyhow. yes the 7.62 has more knockdown power but really in a high adrenaline combat zone u need to hit a vital area anyways to make sure there out of the fight. theres a video of a u.s. soldier getting hit right in the heart by a druganovs 7.62x54r and it knocks him down only for him to get up again and run behind the humvee

  • @guhudaa He was wearing body armor.

  • @guhudaa With that said the 7.62x39 has much more kinetic energy than the 5.56x45 so even if it does not penetrate the inpact itself is enough to kill you. Ive seen the vid of the soldiers getting shot in the chest. For one it is not clear at what range the sniper was firing or whether he was even using the 7.62x54r SVD because even modern armours struggle to defeat such a round. One thing is certain though. That is one very lucky soldier.

  • @riseld4 5.56 is an overall better round and i guess i can see why you think the guy is lucky but thats what the body armor is supposed to do and it worked to perfection

  • @guhudaa Thats debatable

  • Cont: a 7.62x39 round is ideal for inside 300m and good to about 500, while the 5.56 is good much farther. Because if it's shame it rapidly loses energy inside it's target and spin and fuck shit up but if it fails to tumble ( usually at extreme close or far range) than your in deep shit

  • @XXMIT90XX true about the sights but your wrong about speed. It IS true that a good round and high velocity will result in better expansion of a hollow point however in the rules of war (Geneva convention) your not allowed to use fragnenting rounds ( maybe hollows) so if your going to follow the rules than a bigger slower round is better. But you are correct about the sights. Accuracy up to a certain point is outstanding with a quality AK

  • first time when i see a russian firing a m16 :))

  • an m16 at far range would kill an ak but at say 40 meters engagement the ak would kill the m16

  • M16 is better than AKM or AK-47. M16 rounds travel a lot faster and kill person instantly. The AK-47 round travels slow and sometime the bullets doesn't hit the target you want it to. AK-47 maybe reliable but M16 is accurate. AK-47 have poor sight while M16 got better sights.

  • @XXM1T90XX The M16 does not kill anybody instantly. Do you call 2300 feet per second slow? And the bullet always hits the target you want it to, as long as you have a quality AK. Poor sights? Training issue.

  • @XXM1T90XX yeah, sure, thats because you never seen a documentary in VIETNAM, that there was some vietnamese hit with many bullets, and still shooting at Americans! FAST DOENT SAIS NOTHING! IS SMALL AND THE BULLETS GET BREAK WHEN HIT ANY KIND OF GLASS! AND AKM HAVE NOW AN MAX EFFECTIVE RANGE OF 500m ! AND IS LIGHTER, so this time AKm wins,

    Lighter / equal weight than m16

    more firepower

    almost same accuracy ( 150m less)

    more reliable

    shorter ( great for close quarters is the today battlefield)

  • @FranciscoSRO2 AMEN brother

  • @XXM1T90XX i wouldnt say that, alot of the people who fought in somolia and afghanistan all have said that the 5.56 doesnt bring them down alot of the targets got right up after being wounded/shot

  • Ak47 the best

  • You really can't compare them, because they are two totally different guns with different purposes

  • @ITSbigwillystyle people always compare things if both are good or from rival country and besides they're both assualt rifles

  • platoon movie??

  • @fantasma2403 yeah it is

  • its a russian point of view so you know the ak is going to win lol it dosnt matter the ak will win no matter what

  • @zyklonzip

    With all points of view M 16 is stupid complicated bullshit

  • Ehhh this guy compares it like it's M16A1, jeez grow up, nowdays it's Ak-74m vs. M16A4 or M4 vs Ak-103

  • akm is sweet, we used to fight turkish army in kurdistan

  • Can you please put on subtitles if possible?

  • I own a AK47 and a AK74. Anything over 200m the AK are useless. My SR556 (AR15) and Colt goes into the 500m.

    ...but if I was to choose only ONE rifle to fight Zombies, I'll take the AK any day...just my two cent.

  • The 7.62x39 from an Ak-47 could absoloutly hit a man sized target at 300 metres, the German stg-44 fired an even heavier round with a smaller cartridge (7.92x33) and it killed men with single shots at just over 300 metres.

    The 5.45x39 fired from Ak-74m is a differnt story.

    With optics and a familiar user, the Ak-74m and Ak-47 can easilly be used to accuratly hit targets at up to 400-500 metres

  • @sheenydonut

    400-500m? The weather better be perfect, the target is not moving and not firing back. Then maybe...

  • The sacrifice of accuracy with an Ak-47 compared to an m16 is barley noticable.

    Ak-74m are more controlable then m16 and bullets are cheaper.

  • "barley noticable"

    ...I strongly disagree, on full-auto the ak47 & '74 are pretty much random at best. In single shot, the recoil render the rifle stability useless.

    Btw; cheap ammo does not make a rifle better.

  • Absoloutly not, Ak-74m is indeed more controlable and the round performs almost identical to the 5.56x45

    The 5.45x39 has made its reputation as the "poison bullet" for a reason.

    Ak-74m is absoloutly suited for engagments with in 500 metres.

  • @sheenydonut, it probably won't hit nearly as hard at 300m. Most assault rifles are good to 300m.

  • In Afghan, the Taliban wouldn't engage us at 300m until 250m...let alone 500m....and they are using all the AK variant.

    "reputation as the "poison bullet"

    never heard of such claim, any bullet can kill you.

  • @kaox44 at 500 yds a 5.56 would drop around 71 inches and hit with around 286 lbs/ft, the 7.62 x 39 would drop around 127 inches but hit with around 410 lbs/ft sounds to me like both rifles are perfectly useless within 500 yds, even worse at 500m

  • @Mike11069, Good point. I suppose if you aimed the rifle a foot above your target you could compensate for that.

  • @Mike11069

    Infantry school marksmanship course, shooting and hitting 500m targets all day with a M16A2...in the hot Georgia sun with iron sight.

  • @Mike11069

    Corrections, 500m in a control environment (except the sun).

  • @kaox44

    Not really, notice how most of the whining over the m4 and m16 come from the Army who only shoots to 300m vs the Marines and some Navy who shoot to 500. We do it a lot in Afghanistan, the Acog and m16a4 were made for each other and this kind of environment.

  • hahahahahaha shooting zombies with an assault rifle ur funny a combat crossbow w/ a 6x and a 12x scope with around 500 bolts as well as a shaolin spade

  • I only understand every other word, English subs please.

  • english subtitles? AKM wins vs m16 but ak47 doesnt

  • AKm and AK47 is almost the same.just AKm is a bit lighter....so AK wins everywhere :)

  • @carbon0HUN yep

  • @carbon0HUN It also has a different angle on the stock.

  • @carbon0HUN no your wrong the first ak-47 was a very shitty gun the cover on top would bloww off and kill the person who was shooting it the akm is the ak47 but with a rof reducer in it and has a thicker the first ak had a dust cover of .5 and the new one of 1.0 and the akm also had bars weilded on top of the cover to make it alot more strong than the ak 47

  • @ashisturtwig123 and who was talkin about the first ak?i compared the AKm and the AK47.the finished ones.not the prototypes...

  • @ashisturtwig123 I keep hearing people say that the original AK-47's blew up, but have never found any historical evidence to back it up. Where did you hear it? The top cover on the AK-47 dust cover is actually thicker then the AKM. The bars you speak of on the AKM top cover are reinforcing ribs. Because they took steel away from the top cover, they had to adds ribs to reinforce it.

  • @carbon0HUN the akm uses a skin rapturing bullet so when hit its harder to repair skin tissue and the bullet is smaller in diameter so the round is more accurate with less recoil.

  • @carbon0HUN Isn't the AKM 100 meters more accurate than the AK-47

  • not arguments, just telling about the history of the guns... don't post stupid comments if you don't know what you're talking about

  • i never knew the differences between ak 47s, akms, and ak-74s until recently. so is it the ak 47 that isnt too accurate? are the akm and ak 74 accurate weapons? compared to m16s?

  • ak-74 fires a smaller round

  • The AK series is no way comparable in accuracy to the M16. The M16 uses higher velocity ammunition, and has a direct gas impinchment system. Although For urban combat where the AK usually appears, the Ak's are dominant. They are more reliable and more effective. The original AK-47 isn't actually that good. But improved series like the AKM and AK-100 series show to be exceptional rifles. AK's and M16's are 2 different rifles effective for different situations. I hope this helped.

  • ok thanks it defenitely did.

  • akm all day everyday

  • give me hk417 and i own

  • I dont want either rifle... gimme a Sig 551 or a G3 or an FAL

  • Wtf, you a somali or something? Stop being a retard.

  • sure... racist pig... get your head out of your ass

  • Niggar are my are targets im mexican BItch!

  • sorry but the statistics says otherwise. o yea, i bet you tired of niggaz fuckin all yo senoritas.lol you know dey perfer niggaz nowadayz don't you. yo women all just love dat nigga dick, dats why they all laugh at your tiny little spic dick! shit even white boyz got bigger dicks, damn now dats a shame. lol weak azz lil taco motherfuckr niggaz own yo azz biiatch

  • LOL im white you Dumbass and i HATE NIGGERS! dont even say black guys are with white girls! cause yal have little dicks!

  • .....lol yea sure.

  • I hate white people that hate anyone just because there not white.

  • Good point and I agree,

    But that comment has nothing to do with this video... what is your point?

  • I was replying to aaron3378 racist remarks.

  • Ahh, ok then I just read. Sorry, but now i definitly see your point...

  • I hate racist scum.

  • I'd like to put a Jihad out on them.

  • Yeah, though I also hate blacks/whites/asians/latinos/w­hatever who hate anyone just because they're not black/whites/asians/latinos/wh­atever.

    Isn't that universal?

  • Yea...but I was replying specifically to aaron3378. Altho I personally experience and notice more white racisim. Blacks would be second...but that was only in one city I use to live in. It was actually on the news about a month ago. Belleville IL, Black kids jumped a white kid. It was a normal occurance there. Hands down the most racist black people I had the displeasure of being around. Whites weren't so kind themselves. Older asians usually pretty quite racist. Latino can be bad too.

  • he says akm is better becous its are better in water and in shits like .

  • He can say whatever he wants but he should have actually tested it.

  • Hey i dont speak russian. Can someone tell me which one he liked better?

  • Obviously the AKM, lol.

  • He use the ol' A1.

  • Probably a Vietnam war capture, maybe they had trouble finding an A2 or A4.

  • Which one did he choose? I dont speak russian.

  • the ak is better only in the hands of retarded or unskilled rifleman.

  • m16 = a light weight rifle, with great accuracy, which can easily be fired in full auto and hit the target, (unreliable tho).

    akm light to medium weight, low to medium accuracy, which can be fired in full auto, powerful in close range and it's very reliable

  • no, i'm english. and i prefer the m16 but you can't rely on an m16 as much as an ak

  • MrFrankincense,

    I have a very nice Bushmaster AR15 that is a wonderful weapon. I have no doubt that, if it would ever become necessary, it would clear the living room, porch, front yard, and the street with ease and effectiveness.  :-D

  • I saw a subtitled version of this and he says nothing about the M16 being reliable, but the opposite. The commentator even goes as far to say that American soldier's ditch their M16's for AK's in Iraq which is a blatant lie.

  • Esh325,

    This is what happens when you see a subtitled version. You never know what is actually said. While my Russian certainly isn't the best, I certainly never heard anyone say that. What is said, that during Vietnam, some U.S. troops used AKs after their M16's became inoperable.

  • @krazygrrrl

    The original M16 was highly unreliable. They chromed the barrel and made a few changes for the "M16-A1" which is a very reliable weapon.

  • He also said that for the M16 to work reliably it must be cleaned after every engagement and "god help you if you drop the M16 in a puddle".

  • I like the Chinese Type 56 better then the AKM. It has a thicker reciever which means more durability and a heavier barrel which means more accuracy.

  • Dincolo de filme este arma cea mai folosita de mercenari în Irak. De ce? Pentru ca nu a apărut ceva mai simplu și mai durabil.

  • There are alot of bad guys not breathing anymore because of both these rifles.

  • Yeah but lots of good guys too.

  • yep unfortunately

  • but the normal

    batlefield distance is 100-350m so the AKM do easly the job, and in close combat situations, you can use the folding stock and tactical things like m16, so this is why i preffer AKM to M16. This is my opinion, so please don't reply me with rude comments. Thanks.

  • the enemy, and penetrate easly, so it may penetrate the medium bullet proof vests and helmets. The Acuracy isn't the best, but, it can be added a scope and tactical lights lasers etc... and ak-47 sight can be calibrated to 100-800m AKM can do the 100-1000 job, obviously you must to be a "PRO" shooting weapons to hit at ±1000m,-CONTINUING COMMENT-

  • nah i dont understand anything... but i think akm is better, is ligher than AK-47 and the weight is the ak-47 problem, but we are talking about akm vs m16, I preffer AKM due the improvements, the caliber 7.62 is slower than 5.56mm but the akm makes a fking hole that had a big probably to kill

    -CONTINUING THE COMMENT-

  • This is an unfair test...thats an A-1 M16. the A2 would pwn that ak, especially with the a2's special 556 ammo that they made for the new barrel put in the M16A2 and the SAW M249.

  • The AK-74 is chamdered 5.45x39mm high velocity tumble round that has the same deadly efficiency as the 5.56x45mm. The only difference is that the AK series is a much more reliable and simpler system.

  • i love russian guns is got a mosin nagant and if things go to plan and Obama dosen't fuck with rifles for awhile i will be buying and ak variant just cause there cheap ammo is cheap and its not going to break nothing against the m-16 i'm just running on tight budget :)....

  • AK103

  • M16 it's sucks, the best of the best it's AK family

  • To me it depends on the situation, if you need more accuracy and stuff, bla bla bla, then I would get the M16. If I needed power and reliability, bla bla bla, then I would get the AK. Both guns are good, and both guns are very well known.

  • the 5.56x45mm standard nato rd has its cons same with the 7.62x39mm and both have there pros the 5.56x45mm has high velocity while the 7.62x39mm is slower in velocity but is a larger mass which allows it to have more stopping power the newer ak series assualt weapons are now chambered in the 7.62x39mm as well as the 5.56x45 and the 5.45x39mm so stop being a jackass u stupid mother fucker.

  • AK's rule and AR's drool!

  • I think power and accuracy go to the M16. But the AKM is a more durable, better lasting weapon. The 74 variants are better than the 47 or AKM for accuracy altogether. I forget which one it is, but one has a muzzle break to eliminate climb. I would take the akm over the m16 though.

  • The AKM has a slant break compensator (can also be used on the AK47) the AK-74 however has a large muzzle brake which is much more effective at keep the muzzle down then the slant break compensator was.

  • The AKM muzzle brake I thought was to make the gun more accurate and travel farther?....

  • Nah dude the Muzzle brake is to establish more stability while shooting. It makes the AKM more effective of course. Because you wouldn't be spraying rounds all over the place due to the uncontrolled recoil.

  • Power goes to the M16?! No the AKM fires a bigger .30 caliber while the M16 fires a .22 caliber bullet.

  • The AKM fires a 7.62, and AR 16s fire a 5.56 NATO...

  • Yes and the 7.62 is much bigger.

  • 7.62 = .30 Cal

    5.56 = .223 Cal

  • = much bigger

  • thats what she said :)

  • she also said poop.

    that's disgusting

  • '_'

  • yeah but that's what esh325 is saying. The 7.62 x 39 is a .30 cal round. The 5.56 x 45 is a .22 round. It's just a mm to .cal conversion. (although it is a rough conversion.)

  • I thought the 7.62 was a .308 cal in diameter?

  • no, the 7.62mm nato round is basically a .308 remington. All 7.62, whether it's a 7.62 x 39, 7.62 x 54, or 7.62mm, are all roughly .30 cal. (.308 as well)

  • Only the 7.62x51 NATO round,

    the Russian/Soviet one is 7.62x39

  • Actually the ak has more power in the round, but can be not as accurate. At-least some ak's.

  • 0:25 epic fail in the bottom right corner

  • akm is ak-47 modernized ..

  • then the 74 variants

  • M14 is good for long distance and it is so expensive and really sensitive

    but AK-47 is devil on short distance is devastating but on long distance it is waste of ammo and it is cheap and not so expensive because they are everywhere on the world in 90% of world conflicts

  • do you mean to say that the m16 is better at longer ranges, because of its accuracy. but is more expensive to maintain and make. and the akm is not accurate at a distance and are easily and cheaply made and maintained. i just read your comment and couldn't understand your use of the english lanuage that well.

  • yes i meant

  • AK-47 is not same AKM...

  • pretty much

  • yeah i was in a room with those fuckers and it just dont hurt its fucking loud its scared the shit out of me but then we shot the scum bag in the head .but if you want distance my trusty sniper rifle my m14 opens hajis heads open like fucking zippers

  • too bad the M14 is just about impossible to control full auto. And it weighs an ass ton.

    By the way: did you know most firefights take place at under 300 yards?

  • that was my point earlier, This is not world war 1 or even world war 2. This is modern times. we don't fight across fields, and stay in trenches. Most warfare today is conducted in tight quarters such as an urban/suburban area. the need for long range weapons should be relegated to snipers. in this case. the AK wins. Better cover (not concealment) penetration. Better Stopping power. (kinetic energy.) I own semi-auto versions of both, and the AR jams up more even in mild conditions.

  • lol the M-16 looks like it can use re-bluing

  • you guys have been saying m-14 over both, and I don't deny that the M-14 is a great rifle, but have you ever humped around all day with one, have you ever tried clearing a room with one? Have you ever tried to lay down a lot of suppressing fire with one accurately? Comparing the M-14 to assualt rifles like the Ak and M-16 is like comparing watermelons to oranges.

  • M14 over both.

    Accurate to 800yds and more powerful ammunition. Just as reliable as the AK as well.

  • Yeah, at a long range engagement, the M-14 for sure.

    But in jungle type warfare or urban warfare, I would want something that is lighter, and smaller. The M-14 seems a bit unwieldy for urban combat with a full length barrel.

  • u dont can compare AK and M14,, Dragunov vs M14 is better and Dragunov beats M14 ;)

  • trust me i used a m14 on a haji its better thant a m14 a svd round couldn't penetrate my Kevlar vest

  • Trust me SVD was my personal weapon in army and yes it can penetrate kelvar vest.. u know it uses 7.62x53r in finland.. bur russians use 53r :)

  • Mate, you're 17 years old, in which army you were? Kindergarten? Or maybe CoD?

  • You can be in the army at 17...

  • no

    not at all just be quiet you finn

  • Maybe u need be a quitet? :)

    when i was army, i üse many times SVD, and i have in civil AKM :)

  • i am just kidding sami but my m14 sniper rifle took out a lot of people

  • your toy m14? :D

  • Why cant these russian videos have american subtitles

  • AK's rule! AR's/M16's suck!

  • yeah if i point a m16 at your head and i pull a trigger tell me if it suck.

    both rule

  • try at 500 yrds...ull mis by a long shot

  • well, I highly doubt that 1% of the people who have posted on this topic could make that shot with any rifle, so that is kinda irrelevant.

  • no u suck muahahahahahahahhaa ha hah a cough cough excsue me muahahahahahahahhahaaa

  • What a retard!

  • oh but you are the retard

    GOOOD SIIIR

  • Don't you have a special Ed class you have to go too?

  • The AKM is great in the submachine gun role and as a short range Assault Rifle, in full auto mode. A great rifle for the untrained and for room clearing, as demonstrated in Iraq. The M-16/AR-15 platform is good for longer range accurate firing in semi-auto and 3 round burst modes.

  • the m-16 sounds nice

  • M-16 hands down. AK is a good plinker, thats about it.
