Aside from dependability and stopping power,( including dealing with enemy body armor) your comments are what I believe are most important. The M16 does not have full auto and that puts our men at a disadvantage. Fire discipline, as you say is a training matter. If you don't have it, you'll just pull that little 3 round burst 6 or 7 times, with your eyes closed, shooting around a corner and then run. What sort of indication, if any, do the new rifles have to show how much ammo remains? I would think that some sort of indicator that was clearly visible to the shooter (not on the side as in Aliens!) would be very useful.

I believe the 30 rd mag is see thru. The 100 mag, I don't know. Might have to make some rounds near the end or like every 30 rounds, tracers, if you want to keep track real well.
