In REAL LIFE there is no "Best" gun, each has its on purpose for which it was designed.
Guns are like golf clubs to some guys, or like shoes to women.
No 1 gun can fill every role,
you would not use a scoped bolt action sniper, to clear a room,
You would not use a M11 to snipe someone from several hundred yards away.
If you are operating in an environment that is dirty, dusty, muddy, or all of the above, or where you have limited resources, limited or no supply chain, and far from NATO/US forces, then yes an AK is the ideal weapon as you can find spare parts, and ammo in almost every corner of the world. In its STOCK ISSUED form, there is a limited number of enhancements for the AK.
If your mission is multifaceted, you have the option with the M4 series to add accessories that will make your mission easier and safer (Optics, Lasers, Ergonomic grips, Adjustable length of pull to account for body armor thicknesses, grenade launchers and so fourth.
If you need to hide a pistol on your person you will use a small weapon like a PPK (Old School James Bond) or Keltec,
not a AMT Auto Mag or S&W 29 (Dirty Harry).
The world of Airsoft AEG's is somewhat different:
An Ak47, Or AK74, or M4, or Galil, or M14, or M16, or M1a1 (Thompson) are ALL pretty much the same inside once you get past the outer shell.
They are ALL a piston driven by a spring, to shoot a plastic BB at a target.
Airsoft is all about looks and feel, what gun do you like the looks of and how it feels in your hands.
I am mot a AR-15 fanboy only, I like AK's, I have owned one, and will probably will again, but the ergonomics on an AK are a little short for me, I have owned SKS's i put them in the same boat with AK's dead reliable, takes a beating, will rarely if ever fail.
I Like the M4 style (versatile, and can change calibers quickly), I like the AUG style, (Long Barrel, short overall length), I like the G3 series, (simple, delayed roller lock breech, and reliable), and the P90's (small, fast reload, bottom eject, outstanding penetration with the stock chambering), I like the M1 Garand and the M14, and the Auto Ordinance (Thompsons.)
There are VERY FEW designs that I don't like for some reason or the other.
Having said this, I ask you, in your opinion, why do YOU think the AK is better than all other weapons made?
I will make 2 predictions here;
ON THE DATE WHEN US TROOPS ARE ISSUED AN Energy Pulse Weapon,
1. the US Soldier will have on his person a version of the Colt 1911,
2. and he will be aiming the NEW Weapon at someone carrying an AK.
