(Tongue in cheek review follows):

M-16A2/M-4 - Great rifle. Very reliable. good accuracy (the M-4 suffers a bit), and easy to maintain. The 62 grain ball round (M855) offers a flat enough trajectory that hits are quite realistic out to about 300 meters.

M-249 - The SAW is a spiffy little bullet hose, thought the rate of fire could use to be tuned down a bit. Since you are still only firing a 5.56mm round it seems unnecessary to put 12 rounds through a person, especially when the M-240B is used on light vehicles.

M-240B (and C) - I thought there would never be a weapon good enought to replace the vaunted M60, untill I fired the 240. The boys in Belgium knew what they were doing when they produced this thoroughbred of firepower. Reliable, accurate, and just plain fun to shoot.

M-9 - This pistol does not have enough weight to be effective when thrown at the enemy, about all it is good for.

Mark 19 - Although it may look like the Volvo (boxy but good) of weapons, the Mark 19 belt fed automatic 40mm grenade launcher holds the corners better than any weapon half it's caliber. The experience will leave a smile on your face long after the craters have stopped smoking.

M-242 - The Bushmaster has its faults, to be sure. It weighs about 300 lbs, takes forever to maintain, and has to be carried around in a BFV, but other than that it is great. There is something to be said for killing targets at two kilometers before they know you've fired...

TOW-2B - Hatches? We don't need no stinking hatches....
