Quote of the day: The M16

The M16 series has been in service with the US military longer than any other individual rifle not due to conspiracy, complacence, incompetence or frugality – but because collectively it still represents the state of the art in portable lethality.

Ranger Up has an excellent article about the “problems” with the M16/M4 platform. Their article is written in response to a piece written in the Atlantic about how terrible the M4 is.
