jeffboom Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hear that the M4 is considered marginally less reliable than the M16. It's the pre 1980s m16s that are unreliable. it's only because the bolt doesn't have a dust cover. the m4 is a lightweight m16 and all m4s have dust covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failure to eject is fairly uncommon in ar-15s. It really depends on deeping the dust cover on and the quality of the ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it usually is the ammo, isn't it? At least with rifles. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
