Good guys: Lots
Bad Guys: 0

My weapon ran well, was accurate, and got the job done.

I'm not saying there aren't better things out there, but I am saying that the m-4 isn't crap, at least not when it is maintained.
Attributing successful engagements with the enemy when you're a group of professional soldiers versus what are likely not-so-professional soldiers to your equipment is a tad fallacious. I'll bet if you'd all been equipped with AKs you'd still have beaten them handily.

Having access to a $500 M-14 ripoff is a pretty sweet deal, I cannot lie.
