POLL. The ultimate rifle battle. Dragunov vs M16.

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Both rifles entered service in 1963. While Dragunov retains the full power catridge 7.62 by 54, M16 went with the smaller 5.45 by 45. Dragunov is a bit heavier 8 pounds compared to 7 pounds, but overall not much difference in weight. In terms of numbers, about 10 million of both were built, making them the most common rifles on the modern battlefield.

Nope the G3 the FAL the M14 are battle rifles and . The Druganov is a Sniper rifle or a DMR. The M16 fires a intermediate round and is a assault rifle

The Druganov is a Sniper rifle or a DMR.

Dragunov is follow up to Mosin Nagant. It's a pretty common battle rifle. Sniper rifles have a folding stand. Dragunov is not a sniper rifle.

This is a sniper rifle.

can dragunov be termed as an assault rifle.

can dragunov be termed as an assault rifle.

Assault rifle is a catchy word. Modern combat is no longer WW1 / WW2 style mass people rush. Modern combat involves few soldiers, shooting is from far distance. Assault is no longer a component in modern warfare.

What's the point of this survey? Opinions don't make or break any anything, btw neither is a battle rifle, one is an assault rifle, the other a sniper, how do you compare them?
