i love H&K but the reason people complained about the m16s malfunctioning alot was due to the original variant the M16AX which didnt have a chrome lined barrel. which intern caused residue to build up causing the cartrages to get stuck causing the gun to jam. this problem has been addressed and solved from the M16A1 and up....oh and BTW the M16 isn't even made by colt or produced in the us...it is now being produced by FN(same company that makes the FAL and M240/M249 SAW) in Belgium[/quote]
I did know that the carbon buildup was the cause and the chrome lined barrel was a solution to that... another is the mag guard.
I didnt know that FN was making the M16... odd the one I carried was a colt I thought... it was an AR15A2 if I remeber correctly.... Forgive me it was 7 years ago. Still thats cool info... and FN make some cool weapons also... the f2000 is also FN built.
the M9 is italian.... I guess the military has no loyalty when it comes to that sort of thing lol.[/quote]
Yes the M16A4 is being made by FN this started about 4-5 years ago.....the government put it out to bid.....and the lowest bidder was FN.....I agree the 1960s where the best years gun loyalty wise....the M60 M16A1 and the 1911
