The M16 is more accurate at longer ranges than the AK, and the ammo is smaller and lighter, which means you can carry more of it. BUT at closer, what we called "combat ranges," the accuracy of the AK was very acceptable. Starting at around 200-300 yards the M16 was much more accurate. Personally, I like having a weapon that fires a big bullet, especially for closer fighting.

I also have a fair amount of experience with the Simonov SVD, and although I like the semi-auto action (means the sniper does not have to move when he actions the bolt), I believe the M40 is far more accurate, especially past 500 yards.

I was a SSgt when I recieved my commission as a Lieutenant.
