I say give em all M14 receivers in hopped up metal or fiberglass stocks.
That'll fix em.

The 5.56 is the wrong bullet for this war. We are taking longer shots at clear targets. The 7.62-51 is the right cartridge for these shots. However, in a clearing operation of a building the M-16s small size is a plus, and at close range it is very lethal and carries 30 rounds in each magazine. I would think that a platoon would need a mixture of both weapons to be the most effective.
