Marines and soldiers can and do engage at ranges around and over 200m. Marines somewhat prefer this and it shows, just look at how the equip their typical squad (lots of full length M16s). And accuracy has way more to it than the where the first shot lands, follow up shots are just as important (if not more important) and the m16/m4 has the upper hand here. Giving it the upper hand in both CQB and medium range.

I am not saying the ak cant hit the broad side of a barn, but for you to say accuracy makes no difference in the argument is pure bs.

And for the varient argument, i wasnt saying the ak hasnt changed over the years. But a typical ak fanboy argues using the veitnam war as support, and suggests or flat out lies about those problems not being addressed.
