What is an M16's firepower?
A lot of that depends on if you have proper ammunition for the target. But for close range, open areas, or inside buildings, it is pretty decent. Its best quality is the accuracy. It is less powerful than the AK47, but much more accurate. For urban fighting, an AK47 with its heavy punch and penetrating power is better, but an M16 is very flexible and does decent in many situations, including longer ranges where an AK47 would be horribly inaccurate

Is a ak74 better than a ak47 on black ops?
The ak74 is deffinetaly the better choice better rate of fire and better accuracy. However 1 bullet of the ak47 does more damage than 1 bullet of the ak74. So ak47 is mainly for hitpoints and ak 74 is better for fire rate and accuracy.
What assault rifle is the best?
First, you will have to define what makes a rifle "best". The AK47 is the most common, but was replaced by the AK74 using a new cartridge. The M16 is newer than the AK47, but has longer range and better accuracy. FN, Galil, Steyr and dozens of other firms make very good rifles. There will always be different opinions, and no one answer.
