I don't care about rumors. I don't care about what you say.You can't just say it is BS without providing data. I have personally owned ARs with around 10K rounds and no failures. I have also seen AKs fail.
For instance. Out of 60,000 rounds fired from 10 M4 in one test they had a total of 307 malfunctions. That is a fraction of a percent Failure rate. Other tests have provided similar results. Some being higher, although in that test it was a dry M4 Vs. lubed competitors so that test has been thrown out.
The people who have had problems with M4s in service tend to break down into 2 categories. Either they had a faulty weapon, or they didn't properly maintain their weapon. Sadly the latter is far too common. Much more so than the Former. It is interesting the difference in the stories you hear from an average grunt vs armorers, SoF types, etc.
I have 20+ years of REAL world experience in some horrible conditions and the M4 sucks.
That's the whole reason for looking for a replacement in the first place.
Now have a nice day Sir.
