User blog comment:USMC Lance/Whats the better rifle: M16 or AK47?/@comment-1866089-20111020162155

AK-103(modern 7.62x39mm WP iteration of the AK-47) vs. M16A4(modern iteration of the M16) just about dead even: AK-103 is still more reliable overall (though the A4 is still very reliable), M16A4 is more accurate and has lower recoil, M16A4 are more customizable, AK-103 is fully automatic. it's a matter of user preference and what kind of environment your in, AK's are better for deserts and jungles, an M16A4 is better for cleaner environments like a city of farmland sort of environment, it's almost impossible to definitively say which one is better.
