Whats better ak-47 or m16?

The standard U.S. military rifle (M-16) is substantially more destructive than its Russian counterpart (AK-47) when fired at short range into clay blocks, despite the fact that the AK-47 is of larger caliber and fires a much heavier bullet with a kinetic energy (muzzle) 25% greater when compared to the M-16.

Who owned a gold ak-47?
Another oddity in the collection is a gold-plated AK-47 assault rifle from Iraq, likely used in formal ceremonies under dictator Saddam Hussein. U.S. forces seized the gun during the Iraq War. Other weapons in the collection were designed for the Navy itself.

Why is m16 more accurate than ak-47?
The M16 had a higher rate of fire, 700-950 rpm compared to the 600 rpm of the AK-47, and most shooters — including those that have used the weapons in combat — have tended to agree that the M16 is the more accurate.

Can a bulletproof vest stop an ak 47?
They could protect you from a shot to the chest with a pistol, but not against a spray of bullets from an AK47. In fact, there are no flexible slim bullet-proof vests on the market that could hide under your clothing, but would still protect you from a weapon like an AK47.

Can you put a red dot on an ak-47?
You'll get a high quality red dot scope in a compact, lightweight package. At 1.6 ounces, you'll barely feel the added weight on your AK-47, and you can even use it on a pistol if you wanted to.
