M 16 vs. the AK 47

Now its always been a dispute on what the better

weapon really is. The M-16 or the AK-47? If you'

re looking for an answer you just need to ask

yourself not which one is better, but for what

type of fire would you use?

The AK-47 is a gas operated rifle and was

manufactured in Russia by a man named Mikhail

Kalashnikov in Russia, It is an old weapon made

back in 1947 (that is where the 47 comes from)

and is still renowned as the best assault rifle.

This is a weapon made for reliability under any

circumstance and has enough power to drop just

about anything. It was designed for front line

infantry battles, spraying off accurate rounds (

not at a long distance), and defeating a large

ammount of enemies as quickly as possible. But

the weapon is also very compact, and not heavy at

all, allowing one to move freely on and about

unlike a heavy weapon like the SAW. They say that

even back during the cold war, you could bury the

AK-47, dig it up many months later, and be able

to use it later. The AK-47 is very easy to clean,

cheap to manufacture, and very popular among many

different military, and police organizations

across the globe.

But for range and accuracy the AK-47 is no match

for the M-16. Now the only one I was ever able to

get my hands on was the A-2 model and they have

them 1-4 models at least. When they came out with

the A-2 they gave it burst fire, in three round

shots as burst fire is alot more accurate than a

fully automatic, and yet can still go really fast

as long as you keep pulling the trigger. The

other great feature is the adjustable windage for

the iron sights, allowing you to adjust it to

make an accurate shot depending on how many yards

you're shooting from, and how strong the wind is.

There are work books out there, that we

personally used on the rifle range to keep track

of our shots. this will train your eye to make

those difficult shots.

There is a reason that this is the official rifle

of the United States military. The further

developments of the M-16 were actually made by

the United States Marine corps. who are some of

the best shots out there. So what kind of rifle

do you want for hunting then? The M-16 of course.

The AK-47 as we said though is for shorter range

defense, as our M-16 is for getting the enemy at

great distances. The bullet is so powerful for

its small caliber, that it can shoot right

through good size trees, and go right through a

bullet proof vest at point blank. So if you were

to go hunting within M-16 you have to keep in

mind the size of the game you're hunting. If you

are hunting varmint this will only obliterate

your prey and you should go with something

smaller. But for larger game like deer this

weapon is great in my opinion.

I guess the point of this topic is not to dispute

the better weapon but to clarify the uses of both.

I have a web-site of my own that has information

on all sorts of hunting rifles, and hunting

styles. So remember the main points. For closer

combat its the AK-47, and for range you want the

M-16.
