The SKS packs a bigger round (7.62mm) than the m16 (5.56mm) but the m16 has a higher magazine capacity, better accuracy,and a higher rate of fire, so the SKS is more powerful, but the m16 is generally regarded as a better weapon.
Both are very powerful, But the AK47 is more. The m16 has better accuracy tho.
Yes, bears have been taken down with much less powerful firearms, but the SKS is not a real good choice for this as it is relatively low power and only a medium caliber.
I'd imagine that at closer ranges (like 50 yards or closer) the .44 Magnum is much more powerful. But it is a handgun round, which loses power fairly quickly. The M-16 shoots a small diameter bullet (.223) but is accurate and more powerful at a longer distance.
In the vicinity of $200 for a basic Type 56 carbine, up to $500 - $600 for some of the more 'exotic' models, like the paratrooper carbine, and detachable magazine SKS D and SKS M rifles.
The D and M models accept AK47 magazines whereas the standard sks has an integral magazine.

In 5.56x45, the CM901 and M16 are an even match. In 7.62x39 and 7.62x51, the CM901 is considerably more powerful.
an m16 is more accurate and you can carry more rounds but the ak-47 leaves a bigger hole and is more powerful
M16
They are 2 completely different guns. The Kalashnicov (Ak-47) is meant to be used as an automatic weapon, it is extremely powerful and is one of the most simple guns in the world, and one of the most famous. The M16 is meant to be used as a rifle, it is less powerful, and is far more accurate.
Potentially, they could be. The AR-15 is available in the calibre .223/5.56 The M16 is the military nomenclature for a particular model of AR-15, and is only available in 5.56x45 chambering as a semi or a fully automatic.

not necessarily. 2 shots from the fal and 3 from and m16 if they count. but being better all together depends on the person using the weapon. its all about accuracy and target acquisition. if you miss with the m16 it can easily spit out 3 more rounds. if you miss with the fal. in my opinion your more likely to get balled up.
Contrary to what the previous answer stated, no. The AK47, AKM, and variants fire the 7.62x39 cartridge, which is much more powerful than the 5.56x45 cartridge used by the M16. The gas piston system used by the AK series rifles is more forgiving of abuse and poor maintenance by the operator than the direct impingement system of the M16. The receivers of the AK series rifles are made of steel, while the M16 receivers are made of aluminum - each material has advantages and disadvantages over the other which come at a trade off. And the M16 is the more accurate of the two, owing to tighter tolerances.
I'd imagine that at closer ranges (like 50 yards or closer) the .44 Magnum is much more powerful. But it is a handgun round, which loses power fairly quickly. The M-16 shoots a small diameter bullet (.223) but is accurate and more powerful at a longer distance.
It depends on what you'll be using it for. The Mosin Nagant is generally more accurate and has a much further range than the SKS. However, the SKS is semi-automatic, smaller and lighter.
BB guns like m16 m4A1 And pedro for a cannon
