M-16: Pro: More accurate, lighter ammo, slightly more user-friendly, better ergonomics.
Con: IMO underpowered, persistant reliability problems in certain environs, somewhat pickier about powders.
AK-47: Pro: Dead reliable. Will NOT quit. Easy to work on if you need to, doesn't require a lot of maintainance. Bullet hits like a sledgehammer.
Con: Less accurate. Heavier ammo, weapon is also heavier. Inferior ergonnomics, and the safety makes a big, loud CLICK when you take it off 'safe' which could give away your position. Stocks are usually cut shorter than most Americans care for as well, making them slightly uncomfortable.
Personally, I stick with my AK. I can get target-coverage out to 300 meters with it, and after that the Mosin comes out to play. Getting ready to switch over to an FAL, though...more powerful, LOTS more accurate, just as reliable.
