And if compare not AK-47 with M-16, but AK-74 with M-16A2?

AK-47 is almost 20 years older than M-16, and it's normal, that newer rifle is more advanced or better. And AK-47 in Russia are off-production since beginning of 60-ies. That's improvements is for (for AK-47 they are 5,45mm cartridge and muzzle brake). Also let's remember, that recoil does not affect first shot, so in single-shot mode AK would not be much inaccurate than M-16.
