[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1503360, member: 42"] Exactly...on the flip side, knowing your equipment, and knowing existing standards is important before labeling a rifle as unreliable as well. For example, lots of outrage and publicity over the weapons failures during the battle of Wanat in Afghanistan. If you read deeper into the investigation and testimony, there are hints that weapons [I]exceeded[/I] the sustained rate of fire for a long period of time before the failures occured...even approaching cyclic. That doesn't indicate unreliability...it indicates that some machines broke under conditions that exceeded the designed capability. [/QUOTE]
