The M16 variants have been a problem from the beginning and continue to be even though some of the minor problems have been fixed. I would trust an AK, FAL, M1-A, etc. over the M4. I wonder if part of the reason they had to fire so many rounds is because the .223 simply will not break through as must cover and get to a enemy as a 308 or the 7.62x39 will. If you read Blackhawk down there are numerous decriptions of bad guys having to be hit multiple times to put them down, so even a single solid hit may have not been immediatl stopper in this fight. IMHO we need a better battle rifle and a better round than the M4 and the 5.56, just as I think we need to dump the 9mm for pistols and go back to a 45.
