I made no such comment that I ever even used an M16, or that I know more than anybody else! So please stop the personal attacks like that last comment like you're prone to do when you post concerning myself! FYI my company, in fact, was the last to use the M14 before the pipsqueek M16 was introduced into combat use in Nam. As always, you have singled me out on this thread when all but one other member has stated exactly what I have about the .223, so again I would ask that we move on before a MOD steps in because nothing more is going to be gained by continuing this thread!
