Actually being in the military and having used both (real ones too, not commercial copies), I'm very glad to be going to war with a C7. It's easier to use, far more accurate, lighter (weight is only minor to people who've never actually done a ruck march), and actually sized for someone who grew up with proper nutrition. Yeah, it's a bitch to clean, but if you do your part it is a reliable weapon.
The AK is very good at doing exactly was it was intended to - clear a trench in the hands of a soldier who dismounted from his BTR less than 200 meters away. It's a great short range bullet hose, but in the hands of a trained soldier the M16 series is far better.
