Hey anti-AR gang, how's it going?

"The M16 is the worst rifle the US military has ever picked up"
- Unaware of the stupidity of the M14
- Hand soldiers a proper cleaning kit
- Fix the feed ramp cuts
- Lasts over 50 years in service
- Fends off multiple attempts to replace it
- Most recent attempt to replace it only makes sense if there's a near-peer conflict (code for Russia or China), rather than fighting insurgents
- Units outfitted with the new M7 hate it
Siggers stay losing. The M7 has somehow broken a design that worked 50 years ago.
NARP wins on the strength of the name alone. That's a winner's name
Why the hell do they not just roll with an AR platform?!
