When I was trained for the auxiliary security forces in Afghan-land, I used the M4. It is a great weapon. the only issues I had were my fault. I put about 700 rounds through a well used gun (the bluing was rubbed down to the shinny metal in parts) and it didn't have any function issues.
I'd trust it with my life as I would an M16.
M16 = way of the past. m4 is far better and what i have carried here this entire year. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
