  1.  @mustang5132  Well duh, the better trained you are, the better a tool will work for you. That's a silly standard, for a GI rifle, that needs to be combat effective for a 16 year old conscript. Then again, SAS and Royal Marines, are using M16 variants, just like every other elite outfit.

  3.  @mustang5132  No, thats not what it shows, at all. What it shows, is that a 1337 operator can kill you with a polished turd. A good rifle doesn't require elite training and 1000s of hours of experience, to use effectively. A good service rifle, is a point and click solution, that an untrained kid can use.

  4.  @MrGrimsmith  So, yes, you acknowledge SAS use M4s. The fleet Marines(elite) use a unique M16 variant.

  5.  @alistairsamson299  You have poor reading comprehension, so what would be the point of giving more to read?

  6.  @mustang5132  Well yeah, it kinda is what you said. You said that a 'standard soldier' wasn't well trained enough to count on it. That leaves 'elite' and they dont count on it, either they use M16s. The reason the M16 was poorly received, is chronically misunderstood and had little to do with the weapon's design, or weapon training. By the second and third field issue in Vietnam, it was widely regarded by common soldiers, as well as WWII and Korea veterans, as the best rifle ever fielded by the Army. This is a far cry from the case of the SA80 family, which is at its heart, a political rifle; the Brits belligerently refusing to accept its inferiority and use something else, because of all the political capital that went into its making - its an 'investment paradox'. The irony and hypocrisy of that being that they insisted(understandably and rightly) on an all British rifle, but then eventually went to H&K, to 'fix' it; they had Germany polish their turd for them.
