for the record, MP-5's are not classified as "Assault Rifles." They're primarily used by SOGs for close-quarters, while M-4's and M-16's are typically used for longer distance operations.

The M-16, and upcoming OICW, are outstanding weapons. Low weight, high accuracy, outstanding ammunition capacity and versatile. They're a bugger if you don't clean them but doing things like closing the dust covers on the bolt avoid most of the problems.

And don't let the size of the round fool you. Ballistically, they're evil.
