I’m not blaming you, but this same topic has been written ad nauseum this year by numerous authors and numerous titles. What is behind all this knocking of the M16?

The article caught my eye for that very reason, that it seems like the debate never ends. And as someone who’s never fired any kind of weapon I find it interesting that there is this controversy (and I’m probably in the minority on that!), mostly because the person who first told me about it was a Marine who was in Vietnam in 1966-67 when they were switched from the M-14 to the M-16. And didn’t like it.
Some topics are just fun to complain about. Nothing gives natural cynics a rush like tearing down the wildly successful.
Kinda like Glock “kaboom” stories: so common you’d think there’s a real problem, but it’s just that Glocks are robust enough that problems are newsworthy, and popular enough that the total number of problems reported adds up.
