i am no expert, having no
experience with most of the
platforms being argued.

friends that i know ( a little
older than me, as i was too
young for 'nam) who were
in vietnam preferred the
m-14; lacking that, many did
pick up ak's to replace their
m-16's.

i understand that there were
problems originally with the
m-16, many of which i'm sure
have been fixed, as it has
been around awhile now.

the friends i mention all have
ak's, ar-15's, m-1 garands, etc..
they like all of them, but if you
gave them a choice of weapon
for war today, they would
still pick the ak over the m-16.
