It actually is a good read regarding the use of the M-16 by a soldier having served in Iraq and the possibly future for the U.S. service rifle.

I read it, its a good read.

The M16 will be around for a long time. I was never impressed with the specs on the XM-8, looked like something a counterstrike player would want. Nothing says overpriced and overrated like an H&K.

I like this quote:

Quote:
I would opt for the heavier round on my next combat tour. I tested some 77-grain stuff in Najaf in 2004. Accuracy was good without the occasional flyers that occur with the 62-grain issue ammo, but, due to operational considerations, I wasn"™t able to follow up with terminal-performance evaluation.
In other words: "I didn't get to shoot anybody with it..."

Ah ha! So you freely admit to playing counterstrike then?! I did fora little while until about a year and a half ago, but had to give it up.

I played it once for about 1/2 hr, but I know the type that play it. The only games I ever play anymore are Red Orchestra and MOH-Spearhead.[8D]
