Mag. 3 letters. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Still bad for the spring. Just buy a 40 round mag. More room for the tracers. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

No, the first series of M16 production were victims of ball powder residue jamming gas ports and poor chamber/bolt design tolerance. Rushed into production with zero field testing under combat conditions as one of McNamara's cost-cutting schemes, they killed a lot of Marines and grunts. Line troops were initially issued only 20-round mags for the M16, 30-rounders being reserved for special forces, who normally went for Swedish Ks, AK47s, or anything else they could get their hands on other than the POS first series M16.
Kinda wish they would go back to the 7.62 as standard issue. Sure you can carry more 5.56, and it's lighter, but sure a lot easier to shoot somethin' just once.
