Yeah the M16 is already so very light and easy to use already. The only fault the weapon had in my experience was being temperamental about jamming. However my experience stopped at the A2, hopefully they have improved since then...but the cool thing was the speed and accuracy of that bullet from a light little rifle with about no kick!

I miss the M60, they were phasing it out for the SAW when I served...but that M60 had some serious fire power and range.

Isn’t the M240G basically an updated M60? Niece’s boyfriend got out of the Marines last Spring, he was a 240 gunner. He’s built like a barrel, which I guess is a good thing if you’re humping a 7.62x51 belt-fed. Which he did in Nowheresville, Afghanistan.
