Amen! God knows how much I love my country, n how much I would love to fight for her honor.

Bur it seems dar d country doesn't love it's citizens, d prefer Politicians to drive in bullet proof cars Dan soldiers in NE. How can I convert a truck used for mobility of personnels n building materials to military patrol trucks, it's wickedness.

One landmine n everyone dere is gone, or even if d survive, enemies in bush can fire bullets at d just exploded vehicle to ensure dat no1 survives.

I know dat Ak47 is still an Excellent assault rife, but wad happens to upgrading it to d M series ??

I hardly see NAF n NN personnels with crude weapons even their escort convoys are eye appeasing. I will jst apply for all of dem sha, bur if NN or NAF pick me, na good bye to NA b dat.

sikowitz17:
but is it your choice to make for me? We’ve chosen what we want chairman.. I wish you well with tour bank job...you’ll hear of our strives and medals

And you will also see me with my Navy medal in Ph and not sambisa forest lol.

Let me educate you on the bolded.....

An advantage the AK series has over the M16 and M1s is the fact that the Aks hardly jam even when exposed to adverse weather conditions.

Also, the Mseries are very expensive and harder to maintain...you need special oils to even clean them unlike the AK 47

The AK-47 also has a longer range...only disadvantage is the recoil, so it isn't as accurate as the M series weapons

What we need are newer AK rifles to replace the older ones...

Hope this helps

lol something is up with this baba... as you have made up your mind to take navy don’t demoralize the rest of us here abeg..we’ve heard you, you’ll do bank and navy.. and you’ll collect your Dssc medal in ph.. thank you sir

sikowitz17:
When commissioned and an officers first posting is like 4 years to the NE, if he’s rotated away from the NE can be later be reposted there? I’m not talking about onebai ooo

I once read Captain Stephen mention he has been to the North east twice.

When I watched the movie “hyena road” like Ugo suggested I heard the Canadian soldiers say “the taliban cane with AKs...which is a good weapon when you are in a kissing booth” meaning the weapon is a Shittu weapon according to international standards

Yeah I know that, how many Navy Personel have lost their lives recklessly compared to the Army in the northeast. I blame ps4 you think you have another live after being eliminated smh.

kingfestus:
instead of you to pray for them you are saying rubbish .. not your fault sha...jst allow dem meet you

Am actually sympathising and praying for them cos 60% of them are my friends, its just your mental problems that won't allow you know the angle am coming from idiot. Who plays with the death of even an enemy talkless of your friends.

Kalapizim:

Yeah they are sent to the northeast better equipped with all they need.

lol gimme your phone number lemme add you to a navy officers group full of Dssc officers and let them tell you Their experiences in ne and how many of their course mates have paid the supreme price... drop your WhatsApp no

Aftermath of the Katsina Ambush

Blueelf:

Also, the Mseries are very expensive and harder to maintain...you need special oils to even clean them unlike the AK 47

The AK-47 also has a longer range...only disadvantage is the recoil, so it isn't as accurate as the M series weapons

(1) THE AK-47 IS MORE USER FRIENDLY, EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND DOESN'T JAM

The AK-47 is an easily operated rifle and it is perfectly suitable for poorly trained or untrained recruits.

The M16 is a different story. It’s design and technology make M-16 a more modern and more advanced weapon than AK-47 but works best in the hands of a well-trained soldier, not really easy to use and maintain as AK-47 and therefore it’s not suitable for recruits and poorly trained soldiers.

(2) THE M16 HAS A DECISIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS RANGE.

The AK-47 assault rifle is chambered in 7.62 mm caliber. Its maximum effective range is limited up to 400 meters. In fact, this weapon is not really meant to shoot at a range of more than 200 meters.  Beyond that, it will hardly hit anything.

The M16 weighs half as much with the full magazine than the AK-47. It is because the rifle is chambered with a slimmer 5.56 mm bullet. This bullet travels really fast. As a result, the M16 is more has a longer range and is more accurate than AK-47. Because of that, the M16 has a maximum effective range of 400-500 meters.

(3) THE M16 HAS AN ADVANTAGE IN CALIBER WHICH MAKES IT A MORE ACCURATE WEAPON, BOTH IN SEMI-AUTO AND FULL-AUTO MODE.

When it comes to accuracy, the M16 is a much more accurate weapon than the AK-47. M16 has less recoil and it is a much smoother-operating weapon which means it can be easier controlled during full-auto fire. The recoil of the M16 moves the weapon very little due to its internal design and the 5.56 mm caliber. Also, its buttstock is lined up with the barrel. This feature additionally reduces the muzzle climb.

On the other hand, the AK-47 is much heavier and poorly balanced with a more powerful cartridge. Because of its internal mechanism, the AK-47 recoil is slightly out of the center. Furthermore, internal mechanisms of the AK-47 assault rifle are essentially big chunks of metal that move violently after each shot. Also, this weapon has a traditional position of the buttstock (depends on version, fixed or foldable buttstock). All of these features combined cause muzzle climb after each shot. It makes the AK-47 very inaccurate during full-auto fire.

(4) THE AK-47 IS SUPERIOR IN TERMS OF PENETRATION.

The AK-47 uses a 7.62mm round with a heavier bullet. It’s a bullet that is slower and less accurate. But its share power is indisputable. This weapon is superior in terms of penetration and stopping power.

On the other hand, the M16 uses a lighter 5.56 mm round. It has a slimmer bullet that travels faster. However, the punch of the M16 is not that strong, but as it is mentioned it is faster, more accurate and with better range.

(5) THE M16 IS A LIGHTER WEAPON.

As the US Military required a lightweight weapon, the low weight of the M16 was the driving emphasis of the whole design. The M16 benefits from lightweight materials in its construction. Also, it uses lighter rounds. As a result, the M16 can weigh around 30% less than the AK-47. It is more comfortable to carry around and the shooter can carry more of its ammunition. So lighter weapon is better, especially if you are the guy that has to carry it. It is estimated that if a user of AK-47 carries on 6 mags, the operator with M16 can have 10 mags.

On the other hand, the AK-47 uses little weight saving methods.

(6) THE AK-47 IS A MORE DURABLE WEAPON

The AK-47 is an enduring weapon with a robust design. It can take any misuses that soldier can throw at it. If the battle moves into hand-to-hand combat you can really smack your enemy with the AK-47s buttstock.

On the other hand, a fiberglass buttstock of the M16 is not durable as a wooden buttstock of the AK-47. So low overall weight of the weapon was a trade-off at this point.

(7) THE AK-47 IS A MORE RELIABLE WEAPON

The AK-47 has a malfunction rate of 1 per 1 000 rounds fired.

The M16 has a malfunction rate of 2 per 1 000 rounds fired.

( THE M16 IS SUPERIOR IN TERMS OF ERGONOMICS.

It seems that ergonomics was the last thing that bothered the developer of the AK-47. This weapon is poorly balanced. Also, its controls are not well thought-off and are stiff to operate. It takes more time to change the magazine on the AK-47 than on the M16.

On the other hand, the M16 was intended with ergonomics in mind. All of its controls are well designed, well-positioned and easily used. Also, it has a built-in carrying handle on the top making it easier to carry. The M16 is considered one of the most ergonomic weapons in the world. In terms of ergonomics, it is superior to the AK-47 in most respects.

(9) THE M16 HAS BETTER SIGHTS AND BETTER ACCURACY.

From the design of the sights, it is clear that the M16 was designed to be more accurate from the very start. The American assault rifle has a little ‘peep’ sight on the back that can be flipped for ‘short’ or ‘long’ range. The front post sight is called ‘bunny ears’. Similar sights are used by Americans since World War II.

Sights of the AK-47 are very crude. It is clearly not as good as that of the M16. It has an adjustable notch on the back that can be set to a range of up to 800 meters. However, it is more of a psychological boost for untrained recruits. In reality, the maximum range of effective fire is limited to 300-400 meters. Beyond that, it will hardly hit anything.

(10) THE AK-47 IS THE MUCH CHEAPER RIFLE TO BUILT THAN THE M16.

Although many variants are available for both the rifles, when comparing the base models, the AK-47 is significantly cheaper than M16. The government price of the AK-47 can range from $150 to $200, depending on manufacturer and contract.

The government price of the M16 was $673 per new unit as of the U.S. Army’s 2012 contract.


OVERALL.....

TO SUM IT UP, BOTH M16 AND AK-47 HAVE THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. BOTH OF THESE WEAPONS CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. AND BOTH OF THESE WEAPONS REMAIN IN DEMAND. THE M-16 HAS TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY IN 3 KEY AREAS, INCLUDING RANGE, ACCURACY, AND WEIGHT.

THE AK-47 HAS A REMARKABLE ADVANTAGE OF SIMPLE AND EASY TO MAINTAIN CONSTRUCTION. SO, I GUESS IT IS A NO-WIN SITUATION. IT DEPENDS ON THE USER, WHAT HE WILL CHOOSE.

3 yrs ago or thereabouts, there was a documentary by NTA on wounded men from the NE in the reference hospital, Guess what? a Naval Commander (an officer by the way) was one of them...

If his aim is to Enjoy life and not face danger, then the military ain't for him

spetsnaz:

You suppose know say na copy and paste things na.

Its obvious...I have even read the article before on quora

A quick one guys, at POP, do the Military (NA, NN, NAF) also issue DSSC guys the sword or its just the RC guys and the SSC guys that are being issued. For the ring, I know it's only RC guys tgat are issued
