It's a shame that our ordnance people weren't better at their jobs back then. We ended up with the "Plastic Fantastic" with its inaccessible chamber and horrible accuracy in combat and we lost many good people in the process. The Winchester design appears to be more reliable and rugged. When will our leaders learn to quit buying "least bidder" weapons when our young people's lives are at stake?

"It was determined that volume of fire was more important than aimed shots and that our military would be better served by infantry weapons with low recoil, firing smaller-caliber, higher-velocity projectiles. "

A cardinal mistake: high volumes of fire don't kill the enemy in close combat. Aiming does.

It seems that you are claiming that the m16 is inaccurate. I’ve heard a lot of people make some pretty absurd claims about the m16 before but I’ve never heard that.
