BF2S Forums M16 or AK-47

M16

AK-101, I don't like the 47 in this game. I choose the G36e over all of them with a few exceptions to the AK-101.

gamewise - ak47>m16

Real life:
M16- more accurate, less power, needs to be cleaned constantly

ak47- more power, less accuracy, but doesn't need as much maintenance

Maybe for the assault rifle class, but I bet the .50 cal sniper rifles beat the AK-47 by far.

Depends on the map personally, prefer the ak101 on Karkland as theres nothing better close range,  G36E if I'm USMC,

On other maps ie. middle to long range fighting I use the G36E as its superb, the M16 is good on single shot, is good over a distance (prob the best) also but feel the 36 is better when on burst.

I've I'm assault I tend to use the F2000  as its available regardless of what side your on and has a good shot damage and I get on better with the reoil compared to other rifles, don't like the sights though. That given I'll use the G3 on faster maps, but find myself getting shot  while reloading as you can only really take out 2 maybe 3 enemy per mag! they need to be bigger then it'd be the best rifle.

Am I the only one that thought this was going to be about real life, seeing as it's in the Junk Drawer and not the BF2 section?

Who here has used either in real life?? maybe a few U.S. ex-military have used the M16 but doubt the AK47 other than familiarisation and those must be less than 5% the total players

M16

But, AK-101 > M16

ak47 > ak101 = m16

to the 3rd power.

in game AK-101>all
in real life, probably the M16 and M4 own all the other guns...

I don't like either, really. M16 is too heavy, the direct impingement system is too easy to foul, you can't get it wet or dirty or bash it, and while the 5.56mm round is nice, having to strip and clean the thing three times a day no matter what would get tiring.

The AK takes no maintenance, but is kinda hard to get in good quality these days. It's also designed to be accurate up to only 300m, give or take a while, but be usable by conscripts told which end goes bang and thrown out to fight.
And, frankly, everyone's got one. SO last season. Even IF you can use it as a club, table leg, lever, shovel, or a paddle without it going wrong.

However, the AK-74 series corrects the original flaws nicely, and comes in spiffy polymers or stamped steel.

The IMI Galil combines both, but looks a little doinky.

The SA80 is better than the M16, but has a nasty habit of falling apart unless you have one of the expensive newer models.

The G36 is nice, uses the 5.56mm round, and is nice and light and durable while still accurate, but is only sold in carbine form to anyone not german.

Really, the XM8 would come out on top, due to versatility, the 5.56mm round, and being able to switch from PDW to carbine to sniper rifle to LMG without tools.
Sadly, they cancelled it.

Everything else is really just a clone of the M16 or the AK.

But out of the original, the AK47. But I'd still take a more modern version of it if given the chance. The folding-stock variants would definetly be my preference for a zombie infestation.
