User blog comment:USMC Lance/Whats the better rifle: M16 or AK47?/@comment-3225377-20111016232309

Well are we talking in game, or real world? If its real world and we're having a toss off between the M16 (original) and the AK-47, the AK wins. If its M16A4 vs AK-47 or 74, the M16A4 wins, due to its higher customization/choices of configuration, plus better accuracy. It is also more damaging then the AK-74. The AK does get bonus points for reliability and ease of acquiring ammo, though. In-game, I also prefer the M16A3 over the AK-74, however, I do find the AK more useful at close ranges because of its open iron sights. And I prefer the ACOG over the Russian sight.
