We had to go thru foreign weapons training, the instructor dropped an AK in a mudhole picked it up, locked a magazine and fired thirty rounds down range.
Here is a quick clip of an M16 carbine variant and an AK type gun. Makes one wonder.
I have lived by an M16 variant since 1983 and I can say having used all sorts of modern and AK guns, I’ll always pick up the M16 variant over all else, assuming ammo is there too.
