M4 Assault Rifle: disappointing protect

Well the M4 assault rifle is a disappointing protect, as you all know the rifles reliability is key in combat this is one of many rifles that don’t seem to like the sandy dusty terrain.

This is a mega problem when all modern warfare is in places such as Iraq, if your weapon is going to jam then your life could be over, the enemy won’t stop while you clear a stoppage!

Here are some stats on the testing of the weapon;
XM8: 127 Class I, II and III stoppages.
Mk16 (5.56 SCAR): 226 Class I, II and III stoppages.
HK 416: 233 Class I, II, and III stoppages.
M4: 882 Class I, II and III stoppages

And these just seem like a few of the problems.

In my opinion the assault rifle needed is the SA80a2 this is the British rifle that is amazing and wont stop if it’s well looked after!
