The three guys who have to carry around the old M2s might disagree with you.

old != good

old != bad

Old = old

new != good

Old soldiers don't die. They just get senile. The same kind of sentiments were expressed about their faithful M1903 Springfield when the M1 Garand was introduced.

I would always rather have three .50 caliber machine guns at my disposal than only one.
