      The AK47 shoots less far and is heavier and is therefore harder to aim but it turns out in the jungle that matters less

      So many battles being fought at super close range when one group surprises another and everyone is covered in mud

      All that matters is that the gun always works

      This is a thing about old-school manufacture, the wood and steel parts of the AK have a lot of tolerance to them

      The lightweight modern materials of the M16 are much more precision-tooled and stuff doesn't fit together right if slightly off

      That's something people notice a lot about older products designed to last vs newer products designed not to

      Soldiers in Vietnam complained a ton about the lightweight aluminum receiver (the part that takes the most force) in the M16

      And how finicky it was and how any minor defect could make your gun jam at the worst time

      There was also shit about how the M16 was so precisely machined to try to make it last longer without maintenance by keeping dirt out

      Only -- and this is also a familiar complaint with newer tech -- it doesn't help that much and just makes cleaning it harder

      Compare the AK-47 which is known for being put together "loosely" and having holes everywhere to get gunk out

          Joe Haldeman has a story where he says he saw someone pick up an AK-47 from a puddle, shake the water out and immediately start shooting

          Again all that variance makes it not very accurate but in modern war accuracy is overrated
