The M16s the Army uses now arn't to bad Asuka. But the Vietnam era M16s were really horrible. First of all they did not nickle plate firing mechanism, which was fine on shooting ranges, but when these guns arrived in Vietnam the rain and humidity would cause the firing mechanism to rust and sieze up causing a jam. Also, the reciever was not strong enough to always chamber a new round. So you would either have to slap the bolt closed the rest of the way, or you would have to recock the gun to chamber a new round manually. This is not a pleasent thing to have to do in the middle of a fire fight. Also the rounds they used left tar resign in the barrels and on the firing mechanism because they were cheap.
