You have to remember that just as every shooter is built differently, the greatest rifle of all time is going to be different. For me, for instance, it's the Steyr AUG. I love to fire mine.

As far as what is the best overall for the most people, I would have to say the FN FAL. It took the good things from a number of rifles that had been produced in the past and included them all in one rifle.

The only reason the AK-47 has seen so much use is it is incredibly reliable and incredibly cheap. They are not fun to fire. They are not especially accurate. But you can buy crates of them for cheap, roll them all in river silt, and 95% of them will still fire. The ones that won't fire can be stripped down, reassembled, and you can use one or two for parts to replace anything that went bad on what you had. Ta da!
