[Big ugly]

Me personally I dont like the M16 type platform. It may be reliable, for a while. But as soon as the damn thing gets dirty it is prone to jams. I have heard people talk up their AR's and I just dont feel it. The 223 is a good hot round and the 308 is also. But the M16 platform when it heats up if fails. For me it has to be all about maintaining a rate of fire. As said in another post on this topic the Users of the American Equipment is liable to be out numbered. But in a hot climate sustaining heavy fire using hot rounds like the 223 and the 308 in the M16 platform is asking for problems.
