If you clean an M16 once a day, it will work when we need it. Another big issue is lube. You use the wrong lube on ANY gun and it's fucked depending on the conditions you're shooting in. I've held so many guns, and the M16 is the most comfortable, the mag release, the bolt release, the sights, everything about it is just perfect for combat.

The only drawback I can think of with the M16 is the light caliber.
Meh, if I were to live in the US where owning an semi-assault rifle was possible, I couldn't be arsed to clean it that often... I could live with once or twice a month...
In which case I guess I'd have to get some kind of AK / M416 or a Colt 1911...
Good thing 1911's are so fucking awesome then

Oh btw, isn't the reload animation of the FAL in MW2 the coolest reload animation evar?

Can anyone tell me if that is the intended way to reload it IRL? or is it just a gimmick from the game?
Waste of a perfectly good mag tbh. Most soldiers put the mags back on their vest when they reload so they can refill it later. Only time when you want to reload like that is in combat in pure desperation. Or if in your a position in which your not moving and can pick up the mags later.

Well that is obvious... but if you are taking fire you would not waste time by putting empty mags in your pocket would you?

What I mean't was, is that the reason the release mechanism on the clips work like that?

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

The only thing i don't like about the M16 is its weight... it feels too light almost. i'm used to toying around with SA80 series though, and thats markedly different so maybe that's were i'm coming from.

It just needs to be cleaned after use. If it hasn't been used there's no reason to clean it.

oic... that I could live with...

I've considered going into range shooting with .45's here at home... I do think it is quite expensive to get the licence and gun... But I just find the .20 caliber "standard" range pistols boring

And I think it is illegal to bring such a gun home but I am unsure...

That's why American freaking rocks!

Back onto the M16: you only need to clean it after you've shot it. I've only had one M4 jam on me and I've shot dozens of AR-15s and XM177Es (old M4). The M4 jammed because the magazines were shit quality.

It's just too easy to shoot an M16A2 accurately, I mean it's a joke, point and click and it's hit. I was at 300 yards with a Marine friend of mine, and we were trying out different weapons on long range. I missed like once with the M4, adjusted the sights for bullet drop and I was hearing PIIIIING all day long.

Oh and we had an M1A too, that was pretty awesome, with a 10x scope.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

Well if you are in a engagement with properly trained squadmates, they're expected to cover you while you are reloading so you can take a bit more time to reload.

and no, I don't think the release mechanism works like that. You should youtube "MW2 FAL reload IRL" to be sure, a lot of people like to make videos of themselves reloading real guns like in games, don't ask me why :3. Just make sure the video isn't of a Airsoft FAL.

same. Ammo+ is only for reconcampers who are camping so far from the action the assault guys don't give them ammo.

At the shooting range it is. That thing is darn accurate, try an AK or something. MP5s are also damn accurate.

So was going for bronze stars on my primary account today and only had the AUG left in ARs (due to my previous hideous experience with it). Granted it was in hardcore but I was absolutely raping people with the weapon today. The changes from the patch really helped it out. I was clearing out entire squads with a single clip

sorry to resurrect this thread, but I just wanted to express my excitement because now that I have platinum with the AUG, I never have to use it again.

Yeah I thought the same way for a while then realized in the long run you're actually better off sticking with the weapon you use the most effectively, mostly because you achieve more points with sheer pwnage rather than medals.

I doubt it, unless you would double your kill rate with your "pwnage" weapon, which is highly unlikely.

I feel the same way after I got mine. Giant POS that gun is.

How about firing in burst as opposed to full auto? Seem to do the trick for me.
