Right on! I'd rather have a few less highlyeffective rounds in a rugged/reliable weapon than a few moreweaker roundsin a weapon known for its unreliability. The modern M16 is still very prone to jamming.
As I said before, my vote was for the M14, but... I've never had a single jam in my AR-15. To be fair, I've never used it in real combat conditions, but, it's seen some range time, some hunting time, and a number of IPSC three gun matches and has never missed a beat, even with cheap-o ammo.
