The AK-203 is the latest and most advanced version of the legendary AK-47 rifle, the most abundant firearm the world has ever known.
The M16 had a higher rate of fire, 700-950 rpm compared to the 600 rpm of the AK-47, and most shooters — including those that have used the weapons in combat — have tended to agree that the M16 is the more accurate.
According to the latest findings, approximately 1,239 tanks have been destroyed, 106 tanks damaged, 113 abandoned, and 544 captured by the Ukrainian troops in combat.

The big difference between the AK47 vs M4 is the kinetic energy, and there is a considerable difference. Then there are the mechanical issues; it seems that every time you go to the range, there are constant “malfunctions” with the M4. There is a way to help that: soak it in CLP. This will prevent some of the issues.

While the AK-47's reasonable weight, comparative lack of recoil, intermediate rounds and compact size — a big plus for close-quarters urban warfare and other situations in which a long barrel gets in an infantryman's way — were important qualities, what makes the weapon truly special is its simplicity and durability.
