I've fired the M16, M203, and M249 during my service in the USMC. They will operate properly if they are maintained properly.

The wind blows constantly around An Nasiriyah and the dust that it carries with it is very fine (powdery even) which makes it extremely difficult to properly maintain your personal weapon. I think this contributed more to the maintenance problems experienced by the 507th than poor training.
