For 6 months I carried an M14 that always worked, then they took it away and gave me an M16 that jammed in fire fights.

And stuck with it for 55 years. The M16/M4 must really be a piece of crap for it to have lasted that long.

Or the Army is just stubbornly sticking with it because we have so many and a mountain of 5.56 ammo in stockpiles.

We're just lucky that we haven't been involved in a major war against a first-line combatant during that period.
