The US military Hates the AK47! An Untrained person can spray out a very deadly round which in some cases a bullet proof vest does not protect. Trained personnel like the AR16, but hate to go up against the AK47. A group of drugged enemy will keep shooting after numerous 5.56 hits. This is why the US Army is looking to used large caliper round.

STOPPING POWER is king!

*************

If the comparison was made back in the sixties then the winner would be hands down the AK-47. But, over the past fifty years there has been continuous improvement made on the M-16 and its variants. So, if doing a comparison on today’s models I vote for the M-16.
