M16 FTW!!!! but AK47 is cool too :D
[QUOTE=Luc1f3r;19741211]Theres a burst option too...[/QUOTE] No there isn't. The M4 has 3 round burst, M4A1 has Semi/Full
Any time I think of a situation where I, as a civilian, would need to use either of the rifles mentioned, I would think AK-47 (or, preferably, a modernized AK) for my first choice. First, I would expect short-range combat, such as inside a building, in an instance of home defense or searching for supplies in the wake of a disaster. The M-16's superior accuracy would be only marginally useful for me in a space of 15 yards or less, and in close quarters I would want to have the raw energy delivery of the 7.62x39mm round, even if it didn't result in greater lethality - especially if I had the need to shoot through obstructions or walls. Second, in a situation such as one of those above, where I'm surviving after a large-scale disaster, the cleaning supplies needed to properly maintain an M-16 might not be readily available. If I'm working in a dirty environment regularly, which I likely will be, cleaning might not be something I can do often enough. The AK-47's durability in inhospitable environments would be an advantage here. Third, if I'm in a combat situation where one rifle or another would determine whether I come out on top, I'm probably fighting another human being (as opposed to say, combating an animal, where any automatic rifle is going to help guarantee success), and human beings are subject to intimidation. While not everyone would see the M-16 as the unreliable plastic toy that some people seem to think it is, the AK-47 has an almost universal reputation the world over as a man-cleaving killing machine that embodies brutal, uncivilized warfare and terror. The fact is there aren't a lot of people whose first instinct is to fuck with the guy holding the AK. If I can resolve a conflict without ever firing a shot, and instead persuade my adversary to hand over what it is I want, this would be far preferable to risking my own life and wasting precious ammunition.
M16 got my vote

I prefer M16 I guess just because I do better with it in games.
[QUOTE=Vityaz;19734341]"AK-47. The cheapest there is. When you have absolutely have no training, can't shoot for shit, and can't get anything better, accept no substitutes."[/QUOTE] I didn't mean to hurt you, I don't like either of these guns! Actually, I don't like any guns!
AK sounds like shit but when you shoot it, it's very accurate and has less recoil than the M16 :) [edit] And you guys are talking about M4A1? It is M16, read the thread's damn title :P
AK-47 because it's more reliable in the most harsh weather conditions.

It sure is optimistic!
[QUOTE=TippZ;19762321]It sure is optimistic![/QUOTE] True. No one would like to lose their guns.
AK47 = Badass M16 = More accurate FCK i don't know what to choose.
