It's all about tactics my friend.

The AK47 in the hands of a competant marksmen will do serious damage, there are also several variations of the AK (Dragunov being one of them) that can pick off enemies from 1/2 a mile away.
Are you sure the .223 round was designed to maim and not to kill? The standard NATO Full Metal Jack round that is designed to penetrate and not to mushroom?
But it all comes down to personal preferance. I would compare a AK and a M16 to a Muscle car and a highly tuned import. The AK being loud and heavy and powerful while the M16 being more refined and more prone to failure.
