I've heard people tell me that the 5.56 is louder than the AK while other people say the 7.62X39 is louder, so it must be subjective.

The 5.56X45 has higher gas pressure does that make it louder?

Question:
Which is louder, the M4/M249/M16 or the AK-47?

Choices:
The M4/M249/M16 in 5.56X45 is louder.
The AK-47 in 7.62X39 is louder.
They are both equally loud.

What is your fricking obsession with what is louder? This is the second thread you've started on this crap.

Google it! See if you can find the decibels readings somewhere.

Ehhh, calm down you two.

Zach, it's a stupid question and you shouldn't be posting in the Infantry forum, unless you held the MOS or have a decent Infantry related topic.

This topic will earn you the Nobel Peace Prize in stupidity. Frown

Further, most of these weapons are available for fire for civilians at civilian ranges. Go fire them and find out BUT don't post the results here. I don't think you will find the SAW anywhere except at some local Police Departments....they might let you fire it.

No troll,
You've failed to comprehend that how little your question means to anyone. Each of the listed weapons has a different cyclic rate of fire short interval and sustained. Sound means little other than pointing out in what direction the fire is originating and what weapons system its originating from. You can tell the difference by sound of an AK 47, AK 74 PKM, M16 and M249.

Sound doesnt kill or supress. Effective engagement of targets by direct and indirect fire does, thats what Infantry does.

Now step away from the keyboard and go back to the Xbox... this place is for grownups.

And I've heard them both because I fired them both.

Most of us Veterans have.

So why don't you put your money where you're mouth is Yeti.
Get off the couch and in the service.

Until then you can keep your assumtions and hollier then thou attitude to yourself.


You haven't done shi-t so STFU!

10 posts, 8 of them are on the very same subject about how loud different weapons are.

Okay, I'll play your silly game and tell you how loud they are. Every one of them is loud enough that you'll suffer permanent, irreparable, hearing loss if you don't use good hearing protection while firing them.

I never heard my weapon firing.
All I heard was my own breathing, heartbeat and swallowing as I was trying to get the lump in my throat to go down..

Do you not realize this website is MAINLY filled with professionals who's day to day job consisted of things that your civilian brain would overheat and explode do to?

Have you noticed no one cares about how stupid you are? Me on the other hand will gladly point out what a waste of a human being you are, take the dick out of your ass and get a life. Any branch of the service would chew you a ****ing part. If the biggest concerns in your life are "which gun is louder" then your either

A.) Living off your parents and have no responsibilites and insist on wasting your life like the majority of civilians do

B.) Your just flat out retarded and thought servicemen and women would actually give a **** about you and your question.

I, personally, are so outraged by the idiots who come on here and ask questions that they honestly believe we/they give a **** about. Like that kid who asked for "tips about drill sgt's, because he isnt a wimp, yah know? just incase" I mean come ON! This is pretty much a place of business! Filled with experienced experts and professionals, its like walking into an office building asking people which paper is best to print on, you look like a complete ******bag and tool. Get the **** OUT!

Who the **** are you to call anybody stupid? especially servicemen? I dont think youd even have the balls to do HALF of what these fine men and women have done or doing. You go through that ****, then you call us all STUPID, because you are making such a difference in this world or Americas future. You die, I wont give a ****, Soldiers die, My heart aches... Go play your ****ing xbox games in your ****ing fantasy world, and ill be singing and dancing when your day comes.


Feel free to exit on the right or the left...
