Israeli made Tavor to replace M-16
Boeregeneraal:
i don't like the bullpup designs either. It looks too futuristic to me.
Oh the Galil, what an immaculate weapon that is! So much so, that the South Africans used the dewsigns to make their own types, the R2-5 ranges. Superb weapons!
However, don't get me wrong, the Tavor seems like a really great weapon! Great accuracy, and little recoil by the looks of it (better design and the position and length of the weapon position to the body). But more importantly, it will save Israeli lives in urban warfare. Designed by Jewish excellence, what more can you ask for ;)

AK-47 is even better than M-16.

you're very right! In Vietnam some us soldiers actually abandoned their new M-16's for vietnamese Ak's. Ofcourse, this made them vulnerable to friendly fire-but the advantages of using such a great gun made it worth it

The AK-47 is more reliable than the M-16. No doubt. But that is its only advantage. You can shoot further and straighter with an M-16. The M-16 has a much better safety system, it can be accessorized much further/better, etc. The AK-47 has a bigger bullet, but not big enough to make a difference.
Neither of them hold a candle to the M-14/M1A, though ;-)
