re: Soldiers Hate the M4 and M16. The Pentagon Is Finally Doing Something about It.

I loved my M4. It is an awesome weapon in urban warfare.

I could see where the boys in Afghanistan would want something with a little more power at distance, but I wouldn't trade it for anything on the market in close quarters. To me, it was telling that whenever I worked with guys who had the option to use something else because Uncle Sam would pay for anything their hearts desired, they still opted for the M4 more often than not.
