While the story I read today about US troops using confiscated AK-47s as personal weapons in Iraq had more to do with the way some troops are outfitted and fighting outside of their normal parameters (such as tankers having to fight guerilla actions outside of their heavily armored rides using a couple of rifles and pistols), it did remind me of earlier problem with the M16.
While I'm hardly knowledgeable enough to weigh in on the AK v. M16 debate, I do have to say that the utilitarian (and sturdy) nature of the AK is impressive.
