AK is still better because you can just crouch, it has better DPS and damage, and often doesn't need to reload as much because you need less bullets to kill things.

M16 is what you take if you want to run out of ammo, the damage is really bad even if you fish for headshots which you could do with the AK anyway. You'd be better off with the Silenced Uzi over the M16 solely because of the extra 200 ammo the uzi has along with similar damage.

Uzi is more likely to headshot commons in your face too the m16 is too accurate for its own good. You can see similar CQC issues with the snipers, you want lower accuracy in close to mid range even if it sounds counter-intuitive. Accuracy only matters in long distance which is rare in this game and even then the m16 sucks for long range firing due to the low damage.

TL;DR: it sux get a silenced uzi or ak instead or even a SCAR, SCAR is everything the m16 wants to be.

The only reason to choose an M16 over the AK in any situation is if the AK is completely out ammunition. Even then, it is probably better to hold onto an empty AK than it is too ditch it for a bullet hose with a laser pointer attached to it. If the AK user has any grasp of ammunition management such a scenario should never come to pass.

ak all the way

Everyone talks about ammo management when most of the L4D2 campaigns have an ammo pile every 100ft. Either way, you won't accomplish much at long distances with a regular AK compared to a laser sight M16.

M16 is for chads
Ak47 is for 🤓

this game has one of the most satisfying SCAR -type weapons i've ever had the honor of using. the firing and reloading sounds are just....idk how to even describe it, it's like gun ASMR especially when you're mowing down hordes of zombies

the AK has the best damage and is the easiest to control in terms of squeezing off single shots. an AK with a laser sight is considered the best weapon in the game (behind tier 3 weapons such as chainsaws and chain guns)

the only REAL advantage an M16 has is that it reloads super fast, which has niche/gimmick advantage when fighting special infected in vs.

M16 with laser but even if it was there I would take sniper over m16 with laser

It's the usual, if you play none realism, who cares about laser sights, AK kills everything there without lasers. Realism?, uzi with lasers over AK... heck a regular uzi over an AK please, maybe i'll pick one with laser sights if i can get one and feeling it.

Lol there's literally no drawbacks in getting laser sights for weapons, once I find one that weapon is mine for the rest of the Campaign. Also, Valve mentioned this in their commentary that laser sights help others know where your aiming so its easier to avoid friendly fire damage.
