   Used to have one. If you can swing it, I would highly recommend one. The   
   breech mechanism is unique, construction is VERY rugged but does not weigh a   
   ton, and the sights make sense. Front and rear sights are both circles which   
   can be centered easily by eye for much greater accuracy. The front sight on   
   the M16 is like two peckers face to face - difficult to center it inside a   
   rear peep sight.

   It has it's advantages, but the main advantage of this weapon is that the   
   government can easily destroy millions of these weapons very rapidly if it   
   wants to. All you need to do is place them flat out on the parade deck and   
   drive a duce&1/2 over them. After an hour or so you will have millions of   
   pounds of powdered M16. Even the body of the damn thing, cast fucking   
   aluminum, easily destroyable.   
      
   You could drive a tank over an M1 and it would probably still fire.
