M16's are very reliable weapons when kept properly and are very acutate. I've hit a quarter at 300 meters with my M16. However, AK's are very reliable in extreme and ideal conditions more so then the M16. AK's are not acutate at a distance and are really ideal for close quarters and sparying bullets.
American special forces use AK's in order to blend the gunfire into the background and confuse the enemy about their position. When the enemy trys the to track the US soldiers the shell casings blend in with the previous casings left there from someone else.
Personaly I rather have acuracy and keep my rifle clean. Then being able to spray bullets and not care about my rifle.
