No. They both do well at their own thing. Thompson (Probably the lesser favored by me unless it's farming time) is a SMG, which specializes in CQB. That's exactly what it does in game as well. Also mauls brutes. It should not, under any circumstance, be used at any ranges longer than closer combat.

AK-47 is an assault rifle, which were made to fight at medium range, while still being effective at closer and longer ranges, a all-rounder. That's what the AK is. A medium range beast still able to kill enemies quickly at CQB, and still being able to kill targets at range, albeit not reliably.
