There is no doubt about it, reliability is a key issue. but my first thought when I saw the article was, "Best gun for what?".

There are lots of guns that would be more than reliable enough for a target shoot that don't have any business in the field for military purposes.

It's all a question of what you want to do, where you want to do it, and how far away is the thing you're trying to do it to?

"Best gun for what?"

The use determines the need.
