On order to really understand the rifles you have to fire them both, I have never fired an m4, but i have fired an ak, and an ar-15, with server m4 parts on it.
The normal ak rounds are better than the normal ar rounds, but the hollow point ar rounds work MUCH better than the crappy russian hollowpint ak rounds.
the 5.56 is just as acccurate as the ak's 7.62, and almost never tumbles, it was simply propoganda told to the soldiers who ere given a smaller round and didn't want it.
The ak is also much simpler to clean, operate, and repair, but the ar is much better for pinpoint accuracy at longer ranges, as the recoil is so light that you can easily fire it off of your groin, provived you do not fire it on full-auto (ouch)
So all in all, I would have to go with the ak, but the armies that use it are often not as well trained as the us army, and no matter how powerful the weapon is, if you cannot hit anything with it, it means nothing.
