I own DPMS Panther Carbine - basically what some people would call an M4, but semi-automatic. It is more reliable than my Glock handguns, making it the most problem-free firearm that I own.
It is a bugger to clean - I honestly hate that groove thingy in front of the chamber - it makes it really hard to get crap outta there. The gas system likewise takes a lot of effort. It's design is overly complex for what it is.
Easily my favorite gun, and the one that all my friends want to 'try out'. It has a huge 'WOW!" factor. It is the gun that I've wanted to own since the days of my childhood; shooting it is a dream come true.
It isn't a miracle gun - mine has been problem-free but that isn't to say that it doesn't have drawbacks, and the drawbacks certainly merit the possibility of replacement by the military.
If somebody knocks it - it shouldn't come from PBS ... those people have never had their car off the pavement and their only contact with firearms are the old rich guys who shoot clays with their Weatherby Athena's down at the polo club.
