I forgot to mention that K. is basing the balance of his complaints against the M-16 with the variant that the US first settled on, and at this time they were using a type of ammo that used surplus powder that contributed to ALL KINDS of fouling.

Most of the problem cleared up when they changed the ammo for a type with cleaner-burning powder.

But the real evidence that his complaints still carry some validity is that you see more and more troops seeking to carry the M-14.

The M14 outshines the AK and the M16 in a lot of situations in Iraq, where it is common to need more power at longer ranges.
