Looks pretty complicated. Lots of toys = lots of chances to jam.

It's basically the same old M16A2 with a flat-top rail in lieu of the carry handle. Nothing special to cause jamming or any operational problems. The M16-series is gas operated, so additional weight doesn't affect the operation of the rifle. Civilians have been using the same basic rifle (in semi) for over a decade with no problems, and the current M4 uses the same rail system with no ill effects.
Additionally, the night vision equipment, daylight scopes, laser aiming equipment and flashlights make the weapon even more versatile.
