ak-47 has more stopping power due to the larger 7.62 as opposed to the 5.56 the m-16 has.
the m-16 is lighter due to the light weight abs platics used in construction.
you can buy a cheaper version of the ak-47 in the u.s. called the sks assult rifle...im not realy aware of a pseudo m-16 availible but the are many
versions that are similar to the m-16....ar-15,car-15,Colt XM177,Colt XM-177 E2 Mklll,M4 A1 R.I.S....but the are are also many different versions of
the ak-47 such as the akm-47,akm-74 which is a 5.45 cal,and the rpk as well as many other versions.
