yes, sure....the M16 is so bad, the USA is the only superpower left in the
world cuz of it...and the gun wins the military 1000 yd. matches

methinks it's time someone got a reality check


Indeed
When are you getting one ?
The US did NOT become a superpower on the M16
In actual fact, it became so on the M1 Garand, if you're going to make that kind of nonsense claim
As to winning 1000 yard matches
The Garand, the M14 and even the Springfield were doing so LONG BEFORE the M16 came along

So what was the point you were trying to make ?
