    “The M16 is the worst rifle the US military has ever picked up”

    • Unaware of the stupidity of the M14
    • Hand soldiers a proper cleaning kit
    • Fix the feed ramp cuts
    • Lasts over 50 years in service
    • Fends off multiple attempts to replace it
    • Most recent attempt to replace it only makes sense if there’s a near-peer conflict (code for Russia or China), rather than fighting insurgents
    • Units outfitted with the new M7 hate it

      Siggers stay losing. The M7 has somehow broken a design that worked 50 years ago.
