Reviews for The M16
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Problem areas were pre-exponated; Bullet fragmentation during hits was omitted as a wounding cause. The M4 has 5-times lower reliability rate (failures/fired rounds), was omitted here as well.
Overall negative attitude from the start, picking mostly negative aspects.
Some interesting trivia was available as well.
Main problem cause explained - powder issues.
