I'm no expert and have never shot an M4. Just going by what others that have shot them told me and what I've seen.
You shouldn't be that accurate on full auto, I hope single shot/burst will still be the way to play, however, ROAS made it a little crazy.

It is a shame they didn't show the target. If you ever shot the wall you could see it was still relatively accurate it would dance in circles but it would go in the general direction you were pointing.

the AK definately has more kick than an M4.

well,with their civilian counter parts anyway.

never fired either in full-auto.wouldnt really care to...other than maybe for a cool novelty.

a wouldnt mind having a semi-auto/3 round burst though.

i'm not saying it does not have more kick but doesn't have something on the barrel that defects the gas up keeping it level or leveler?

i dont know of anything that would help to that extent(making it better than the M4).

there are also alot of accessories you can add to an M4 to help as well(comp/brake etc).

the m4 is defiantly better than the ak 47 but isn't the ak also more reliable?

Not sure? Must not be very accurate though, the A-Team used the for years but the only people that ever got shot was THEM. LOL
You can learn a lot from 80's tv shows.

I don't know. It appeared to me every shot landed precisely 4 inches from the foot. That seems pretty accurate to me.

Soil FEARS the A-Team. LOL

You are going to have to use English on this forum AAFan. It is the rules. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.

AAfan ، انت بحاجة الى استخدام الانكليزيه عن هذه المنتديات. ومن ضد قواعد لاستخدام لغة اخرى. وانا آسف لالازعاج. شكرا.

Nice find havoc.

Also, the best video I know of showing the ups and downs to the M16/M4 and the AK47 is this one.

The only problem with that video is that they are using the Vietnam era M16A1. The modern day M16A4 would have shown much different results.

Of course there are some differences between the M16A1 and M16A4. But the basic things like, accuracy, and recoil will still be accurately depict which gun will come out on top.

I used a language converter and this is as close as I could get - Me countries the all wants [klaashnykwf] [aalaawtwmaatykyh]. Worry of goodness very and other than expensive his.
WTF

Your translater sucks. I got "everyone in my country wants an automatic Kalashnikov. They are very inexpensive and very reliable."

English write I will must I? Find no rules on language

It is in the Terms of Use that you agreed to when registering your account. It is because it is impossible to moderate when someone is speaking another language, also because it makes people feel excluded from the conversation.

I am sorry, but you must speak English on these forums.

recoil may be about the same and im not sure about accuracy.but in terms of reliability and stopping power(ammo in relation to twist etc) there's a world of difference.edit-just watched the video and they only really touched on accuracy and recoil,so i guess it would still apply today(at least closely resemble modern versions)...sorry.

the AK is a beast,you can beat the **** out of it and it'll usually keep ticking.

the M4 is more of a precision rifle,though its also very reliable if properly cared for.its built to much tighter tolerances.

the AK is like a brick the M4 is like a blade....at least thats my impression and the best way i can describe it from my limited experience.

its about what you're looking for,neither is necessarrily "better".

as for my personal taste,i'll take the Stoner anyday.

Stoner as in The Mk23 pistol? Damn good piece
