Anyway, the correct answer is "FAL."

Everybody knows that the .45 ACP used in the AK is vastly superior to the 9mm used in the M16. In any case, you could find me blasting away with my Deagle, 'cause teh .50 BFG pwns ALL!

don't want to beat up on you for draging the dead horse out again, but the short answer is the right rifle is the one in your hands.

buy an ak if you can while you save up for an ar, then you have options, and options are a good thing

YOU are the weapon.
The rifle is only a tool.

Which one would you pick if you had to go into battle and why?

That would depend on a couple of things. I have both. If it was not in sand or mud, the M 16 would be the better choice, because it has more refinements, is more inherently accurate, and is set up in a superior way. If I didn't know whether I might encounter lots of sand or mud, I'd go with the AK. It is more reliable in sandy and muddy environments. It also has the advantage of using a more effective round beyond 100 yards.

P.S. Just ignore the nasty comments. This is always a worthy topic.
