[QUOTE="Troll Lord, post: 184528, member: 1163"] Steve I'll agree with you about cleaning the weapon. I carted one around in the Army for three years and never once had a jam. Personally I like the m16. Wish I could buy one. But sadly, you do want to kill the fella commin at you. The theory that two folks will carry the wounded off isn't really that valid . . . look at Somalia for a good example there, no one carried the wounded off the field, they just kept coming. The Russians and Chinese have the same battlefield philosophy, let the wounded and dead lie where they fall and keep pressing the attack. I have some good books on the 1st and 2nd Chechyan wars if you want some examples. And for sheer killing power, the M14 hurtles a 308 round (7.62). It generates more energy at approximately 200 yards than the m16 has at the mussle. That will knock you the hell down. And to reference a Delta Team member who fought at Mogidishu (sp), he had to shoot targets two and three times to get them to drop while his compadre with an M1 took them down in one. [/QUOTE]
