Angering mistake by the US

[davparlr]

The M-16 has been around for 40 years and has fought in many wars. In spite of gross mismangement on startup, it must be an effective and adaptable weapon. I have heard that there was some complaints on its stopping power in Iraq and an internet rumor of recalling the M-14. I also understand there is a new weapon coming on with a programmable 20mm round added.

I know the AK-47 is used by a lot of riff-raff because it is available, but does any major military unit (main forces, elite units, etc.) use the AK anymore?

Long live Ma Duece. The greatest gun ever developed. Of course this is not the subject of this thread. What is the subject of this thread.
