AK-47 vs. M4A1?

Typically,
Insurgents in Iraq have AK-47s.
American soldiers have M4A1s (like M16 but more compact and with auto fire mode).

Say,
You stood two fully trained, professional Special Forces troops (lets say SAS) up on a firing range.
600 metres downrange there are two real men, both in kevlar-149 jackets and kevlar helmets and combat gear and all.

The SAS guy with the M4A1 sets his sights to 600 metres, puts his fire mode to single, and lies down and takes a shot at the face of one of the targets.
The other SAS guy with the AK-47 does the same against the second target. (except hes using an AK-47).

How effective in hitting the target (the face of the enemies downrange) would the AK-47 and M4A1 be?
And if they differ in accuracy and effectiveness, why?
And if they both manage to kill the targets in one shot, then why is it so difficult for Iraqi insurgents to do the same?

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!

The AK-47 and M4A1 has both its PROS and CONS:

M4A1
PROS: Accuracy and Precision on targets, Lightweight Assault weapon

CONS: Jams frequently when used at full auto (once those metallic dust from the shell casings and bullet gets to the weapon's mechanism then that's it... Jam galore). Use the weapon at semi auto or single shot to prevent this, good only under 150m or less

AK-47
PROS: Stopping power, doesn't Jam

CONS: Heavy, inaccurate weapon due to heavy recoil (only good at close range)

I sure do agree with the p_l_gray above. It depends on the guy behind the weapon. Actually the weapon just becomes his extension. So if you give a super accurate weapon that can kill even 3000 meters away to a freakin' idiot then that weapon would be useless. The US armed forces are one of the best trained soldiers in the world so there you go.
