[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4198282, member: 45773"] It's irrational. It's an inanimate object. And they're not the same gun they were whenever this incident supposedly happened. Maybe your friend should've been a little more adept at clearing stoppages. Not only that, but early rifles had issues not because of the gun, but because of the ammunition. Cleaning the gun solved most of those issues. Of course, those issues have been sorted out since the mid-60s, so there's that. It's pointless to try to talk to you about this because you're irrational on the subject and refuse to even consider a reasoned argument. If you (or anyone else) think the M16/M4 family of rifles is not one of the finest, most adaptable rifle platforms in the history of firearms, you're not being objective...you're just being obtuse. Because by almost any objective measure it is. The gun isn't the most popular firearm in the country because it sucks. [/QUOTE]
