I have always believed
That the 308 is a better cartridge for combat than the 223. I believe the M-16 over all is a great assault rifle but I would like to see them upgrade it to a more powerful, longer shooting cartridge such as the 308. Having qualified on both I have no doubt that the M-14 was a much more accurate weapon but the M-16 would be more versatile because of its light weight and full automatic capabilities. I qualified expert on both weapons. I have a good friend who has an AK-47. Could be a better weapon than the M-16 it shoots a more powerful cartridge but is heavier in weight.
