Ive read about the stopping power of the 5.56x45 and the 7.62x39. Honestly, both rounds will stop a human. So IMHO the M-16 is a superior weapon. Definatly more accurate, a person can carry more ammo, and its more comfortable to shoot. And the stories of it being unreliable in extreme conditions were founded from the original A1 models which didnt have the forward assist. With this addition the gun works fine. Ive put just about every type of ammo through my AR-15 and it eats it just fine.
