those rifles fire a heavier round but they are less accurate over long
distances than the M16.

That really depends a lot on which variant of the AK you are talking
about but I agree the 7.62x39 is inferior to the 7.62x51 500 yards
down range.
The russian round is closer to a 30-30 and the NATO round is more like
a 30-06


What percentage of fire fights in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria do you
think takes place at anywhere near 500 yards?

Here's a graphic comparing the AR and the AK...you might find it
interesting:
