Never had a problem with my issued M-16A2, M4 Carbine, or any of my civilian owned AR-15s.

and you never thought it could be a bit more reliable...? you have 4 basic jams with this thing....Its a rifle made in advance with a manual locking mechanisem cause it has locking problems...i mean how more obvious can it get..

It is only as reliable as how well the user maintains it. Treat it like s***, it will perform like s***. It doesn't take much to keep it operable, if you know what you're doing. The only time I've had problems with the M16 is when it was fed sub-par ammo and blanks, which is the same for other firearms as well.

What model of the M16 do use and in what type of terrain?

major liability · May 3rd, 2006

I think that the M16 is a good rifle, but there are better out there.

I must admit I have never used it, so I must refrain from making any comments on it.

I used it for BRMs in the fall and spring, and I feel that it is a very nice piece of equipment.

Used it when on JRTC. first time ever but prefered our Aus Styer. Mainly for the size and optical site.
But it was nice to use a long arm for a short while again!!!
Missing the FN FAL. Ahhh the memories.
