I do , they have killed far too many good Americans. They flood the third world making every punk revolutionary and radical like God over their unarmed neighbors. Don't see any M-16's in Africa do you? Just AK's. If you want an AK buy a Galil , it's better karma .

ya think there's maybe a reason why there's a lot of AKs floating around and no M16s? perhaps because the ak is cheaper, more reliable, more battle proven, and has better ballistics than the M16. only thing the m16 has over the AK is accuracy... and that's the only reason i have an AR instead of an AK clone.

Has roughly similar ballistics as a .30-30 actually. Not stellar. Not as good as anything in .308 Winchester/7.62 Nato, certainly.

Yep , it's because the absolutely unconscionable profligate
former Soviet arms purveyors sought to flood every area they thought they could profit by destabilizing . The 'elements' using them have less than zero concern for ballistics , when in a pinch pangas will do for them nicely. You see less M-16's because on the other hand the US maintains fairly tight controls on who becomes the end users of our hardware . The exception in that case is the Palestinians who somehow get them out of the Israeli supply chain . That should be a treasonable offense punishable by hanging.
Anyway, you could not pay me to own one of those damn things ,just on principle.
