I remember reading an article on a convoy hijacking and the soldiers m16 jammed because of the sand and he ended up having to load one round at a time into the breech like a damn bolt action rifle.

My cousin was in the legion for over 10 years and as i said lives for this kind of work, he's ben in combat conditions countless times and has a shitload of experience, if he says the m16 is a piece of shit im inclined to agree, he has first hand combat experience with it in bad conditions, noone else here has.

And when its all said and done do you really think the marines or army or whatever are gonna tell you one minute, this weapon is your life line and then later on tell you its an unreliable piece of shit? Must be a comforting thought going into battle. Reminds me of an article i read a while back about how in ww2 some american tankers were basically given a lecture about how a sherman outmatched a tiger tank. oOo:

I'm just saying reguardless of what you or anyone else has said, i love it and i know alot of other guys who love it. I've used it and i love how accurate and how light it is. I went to Moracco for a month, nothing but dirt, sand and dust storms, and i didnt have one jam,and i must have fired atleast 2,000 rounds.
