BTW anyone notice how much the Pobeda looks like an old Volvo? It's actually designed after the 1939 "Turtle Back" Ford. The Roosians stole one and made the car.
Regarding the AK vs M-16: The Russian's reliability is superior, because their tolerances are greater than in the Stoner-designed M-16/M-4. BUT that reduces accuracy. However, their design intent and philosophy are: in the hands of the typical soldier, a gun that's jammed is worth less than a gun that isn't jammed, but slightly less accurate.
The flip side of that is that the Dragunov SVD rarely jams. But then it doesn't fire full auto either. But wait... the M-16 jams at semi-auto ...oops
