AEK 800 RPM Faster RoF, Less Accuracy 0.5 Less Spread Added Per Shot
M416 0.3 Second Faster Reload 16.7 Damage Up Close (1 less to kill) 3 Less Kick 0.05 Less Amp 700 RPM Lower RoF, More accuracy
Opinions on the 2 best AR's?

AEK is more accurate.

Are the sights on the M416? If not, the lower RoF should make up for the spread differences.

Fully automatic, the AEK has 0.125 spread left over from the previous shot.
The M416 has 0.143 spread left over.

The AEK is better at long range, the M416 is better at medium range, and the XM8 is better at close range. I prefer the 416, but I don't play assault a lot anyway.

Ok, but wouldn't the lower kick and amp make the M416 about equal with the AEK at long range?

Even better, could you add these stats to the Xanga page? As of now, the Spread/Spray stats don't really show explicitly how accurate the guns actually are. I can guess based on rate of fire and spread added per shot, but it is kind of vague. I know the chart is kind of crowded but I hope you can find somewhere to fit it

I know the chart is kind of crowded but I hope you can find somewhere to fit it All weapons recover at the rate of 3 degrees per second. 3 * (firetime) = spray recovered per shot For AEK, 3 * 0.075 = 0.225 so spray added - spray recovered 0.35 - 0.225 = 0.125 Same applies to other guns

AEK has better irons, 416 has a grenade launcher that doesn't look like it's from medieval times. It's a toss up.
Prefer the XM8 to the 416 myself anyway. 416 feels like the baseline boring assault rifle from which all the others vary, somehow. I'd rather take an aug tbh

Imo XM8 >(very slightly) Aek > m416
416 from first person view looks like a toy gun (only scar looks worse) and i think (or maybe its just an impression) that its too short. It doesnt have badass factor, like for example aug (great sound and looks). It has good iron sights though.

I personally find the AEK to be the gun I do best with in the assault class. It's got flat damage, which for me helps to predict how long it will take to kill someone w/o worrying about the range to target and whatnot. I also love the sound, and the irons are just... Best in the game in my opinion. XM8's irons aren't bad by any stretch though, and it sounds neat, although not very "gun like" to me.
As others have said, the 416 is just too vanilla for me. Sounds boring, shoots boring, too much blah. Like the opposite of the AUG, which imo looks and sounds awesome but isn't as "good" (stat-wise)... However I do tend to do better with the AUG, even though it's sights are pretty bad (although not even close to the worst, just a little cluttered). I also like the 40MM look on it, and 4x looks good as well. Only thing that kinda sucks on it is the muzzle flash... I don't know if it's just me, but holy sh1t the muzzle flash is intense.
To me, it's gotta be M16>AEK>AUG>XM8>M416>AN94 . M16 takes practice to get good with since you can't just spray and pray, but with Magnum and it's 6 bullets to kill it's only two bursts if you can get all shots to land (easy w/ a stationary medium range target) and it's SO AWESOME. Plus the sound is sweet sweet ambrosia.

the assault rifles are mostly balanced so it boils down to personal preference, even the aug has more base accuracy to make up for the lower longrange damage
I also want those new stats den. ;D

On looks, I despise the XM8 not only is it hideous, it's just a bad copy of a G-36, and it got canceled YEARS ago.
XM8 isn't really worth it any way, +RoF for worse ranged accuracy + ugly
FN2000 sucks all around 12.5 damage flat is terrible, plus it can't hit anything at range
M16 and AN-94 are redundant with the AEK.
Plus I like the dense look of the M416. Small, but powerful.

I don't like the M416 because it's such a ridiculous laser gun that I feel cheap for using it. Not to mention that its recoil and spread patterns make it so if you aim for the lower torso, they bounce up into near guaranteed headshots.
I've always loved the AEK, but it seems kinda hit or miss for me a lot of the time. Either I'll do great with it, or I won't be able to kill anyone.

Man, is the AN94 really that bad now? I've hardly touched it since they changed it, and only for long range, but didn't they just move it from 4/6 to 6/6? Should still be an ice cold killer at range right?
XM8's weird floppy diagonal launcher is straight bobbins.

No, an94 is already as good as it was, but for a bunch of kids 4 less damage per shot in burst rifle is a reason not to use it. Lol.

The AN-94 and M16 suck now. They're just an AEK with a fire rate cap.

AEK and XM8 have been the only rifles ive really liked. I have platinums with both of them. Overall i prefer the look and sound of the XM8 the most. For me it also has the easiest iron sights.
When i was playing the game back a year ago closer to when it came out (i started playing again recently) I got a plat with the M416 but the gun doesnt really turn me on now. Seems kind of like a toy ...kind of.
The AN94 and M16 i never used a bunch because honestly i think the G3, M14 or sniper rifles better fill the role for long range.
