User blog comment:USMC Lance/Whats the better rifle: M16 or AK47?/@comment-86.163.181.9-20111016202931

In-game, the AK has more restrictive sights, but a bit more predictable recoil, M16 is essentially the opposite, being less predictable but having less restrictive and more pinpoint sights. The AK is essentially the better at close range, while the M16 has range superiority due to the better sights. Once you get sights on however, that changes and they essentially become equals.
