while they will both be stupendously loud, the 16" will be louder.
Or better yet: Saiga 308
This is misleading, a 16" 308 is not nearly in the same category as 7.62x39.The 18" barreled scout is reportedly more accurate and it also hits harder, due to the increased velocity. If you want a 16" barrel, might as well just get a 7.62x39, with .308 cut down to 16", your nearing its territory....

With .308 150gr ball you should still be getting around 2600fps, that's not making the most out of the 308 but its definitely not a 7.62x39.
