It's not about equipment, but how you use it. The British use the SA-80 series and still mange to kick ass with what ,from my experience, is a pretty terrible weapon. Here in America we've managed to successfully use the m-16 for the better half of a century-and that thing jams constantly.

and you have no idea how tired of it i am.
"were here to unveil this new gun that will revolutionize combat for american soldiers"
another m16 clone
"why dont we make an entirely new gun?"
"because soldiers are used to this"
i hate that excuse train the new guys in the new gun and give them that phasing out the old shit

I totally agree with you- If the guns is so bad you have gone all the way to the A4 model, then I think it's time to replace the overall design...
It's not hard to make a weapon that replicates the layout of the m16 but uses a different overall build.
The other day I saw an AK-74 that was made with the same fire controls as an M16. The SCAR weapons use the same basics for operating.
All NATO weapons use the same basic layout, so you'd think they could easily come up with something better.

were not advacing because our designers are lazy. israel had the galil good gun but they needed something new and better. the introduced a bullpup weapon i believe it was the tar. they didnt just hand it out to everyone they gave it to people that were just entering so the old guys had the familiar weapon and the new guys got familiar with the new weapon. the m16 is such a bad design my friend got a 22 version and it jammed every other shot

It wouldn't be problem to use whats familiar if it's a good gun, but it isnt is the thing. The Russians have been using the Kalashnikov design since it was introduced in 1947, it's gone through small changes and new models. they uses a 5.45 round now instead of the original 7.62, but they made a good gun and stuck with it because it was good, not because it was familiar. Besides, the familiarity is a bit of a tired excuse- small arms are all very simple, it wouldn't take much retraining to integrate a new weapon and give the soldiers a good familiarity with it.
