I was not the best shot in the unit. It took me a LONG time to hit a standing man target at 300m. Good thing my target cooperated and just stood there for me.

I would rather hit at 200m then miss at 300m.

But then I never got a chance to fire the M-16 with any type of optics. Wish I did.

I think the M-16, and its variants, are fine weapons. Well suited for their purpose.

At combat ranges, it comes down more to the man/woman behind the trigger, than the trigger itself.

For me, that means letting the baddie get a little closer.

I am sure that some one has done shoot-out evaluations between the M-16 and the AK. Be interesting to see how the AK-47 and AK-74s match up. Or course there are only about a billion modifications out there to factor in.
