I'm doing some research on military weapons and I was wondering if anyone would know this.

Does both the M4/M249/M16 in 5.56x45 NATO and AK47 in 7.62x39 really have a distinctive sound when fired? Which is louder?

How loud are they at a distance like 800m away?

Would anyone know the decibel levels?

I'm asking this because the 5.56 is faster and is loaded to be hotter or steamier with the higher gas pressure so I'm just curious.

Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum.

If the mods can close this that would be great, I will re-post the the right topic.
