Ouch! Thanks. Maybe it's time we came up with something better than either the M16 or AK47.

I think it's a question of the right tool for the right job. For accuracy at long range, it's a bolt action rifle, for shooting through walls it's a 12 gauge.

The AK isn't a refined racing yacht, it's a tugboat, but if pushing a barge is what you need to do then the tugboat is the thing.

We did, it was called the M-14.

Until we have a reliable caseless ammunition firing prefragemented crystal and tungesten penetrators. The M-14 is the BEST rifle in the world IMO.
