The m16 is a fine combat weapon. anyone parroting others opinion of the bullets tumbling don't know what they are talking about, I served my time in VN and never had any troubles with the M16. the horrific wounds caused by it were caused mostly by bones being hit and the fragments of bone caused secondary wounding. all this talk of bullets tumbling is pure BULL CHIT by dumb asses. some of the pot smokers would stuff tobacco in the chambers and suck smoke out the barrels, and when they shot the rifles without cleaning them properly they would jam

been there.
