If you think the M4 is weak you should see the M16. At least the M4 has full auto, the M16 does not. Which means that the enemy in room to room combat has greater firepower because their AKs have full auto. Why?

Then they said they were worried about too much ammo being used up. So they took away full auto from the M16 and replaced it with a 3 shot selector. I think they took the full auto away from the M16 so they could purchase the S.A.W. More military-industrial Bullcrap Eisenhower warned about. Thats what fire discipline training is for. Combine this with the tiny little 20 round magazine, that can't even handle 20 rounds and you have an our infantry with a FUBARes situation. We need a real rifle.

Something with 100 round mags available, with full auto and with rounds that put the target down for good. We put 12 men and 2 SUVs on the Moon a quarter of a century ago, we should be able to build a modern rifle.

Amen to that. Our troops deserve better. If they shoot someone, that person should stay shot.
