I agree with Zeld. The Mauser K98 and the AK47 are the two most important rifles in history. The K98 and its variants (including the Springfield '03) dominated the history of warfare for the first fourty years of the twentieth century. The AK-47 for the past fifty. Although the M-16 is a good gun, in many ways better than the AK-47, the profligation of the AK has changed the course of history much more so than the M-16.
