Watch Russia beat the M16 with the IRL full release of the AK-12 weapon system. They've been testing it way too long to not make sure to tie up any loose edges in its construction or performance, and the AK series have always been to be a tiny bit more reliable than the M16 series, albeit, the M16 and the AK still have the same amount of penetration now. AK series always have had a little bit more recoil than a M16 and the ROF varies upon models upon sub-models, so we can't really determine that either. AK series weapons were never the "Most" accurate, as their effective range was beaten by the M16 after the 1950s, but they packed more of a punch in their effective range. Either way, I think the two are tied up, but the AK-12 will either change that, or do nothing but to add to the balance.
