The AK101’s flat-trajectory range against a head-and-shoulders target is quite impressive, matching that of the longer-barreled M16A2 barrel (450 meters); the same can be said of its single-fire accuracy. Meanwhile, the Russian assault rifle outgunned its US equivalent in firing at a target with a bulletproof vest; this can be explained by the RS101 bullet’s improved design. The Russian weapon also delivers more effective automatic fire, particularly from unstable positions.
The AK101 is lighter than the M16A2, and it takes 0.5 seconds less to aim the weapon. In the meantime, both assault rifles have more or less the same combat rate of fire. However, the AK is much more dependable than any other assault rifle in the world. No one needs highly accurate but unreliable weapons. That’s why those who value their lives prefer the AKs.
