M16=poop. It's unique ability to jam is why most folks think it's poop. Accuracy isn't relevant unless you're using this rifle as a sniper weapon, otherwise when you run up on somebody, you're double tapping. I suppose lightness means something when you gotta travel long distances on foot, but what's an extra pound or two when you've already have 80-100 pounds of shit on your back to begin with?

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
