i'm glad i was there before the m16 was in issue. (we had the M1 garand and M14)

after i "got out" all the guys i knew that got the m16 ditched it.

IMO, i think it's been kept around simply because it's easier to shoot (recoil & report wise) and the weight of the ammo...NOT because it's "better"...
