Don't get me wrong. My cousin has an AR-15 and it's fun to shoot. I just wouldn't want to have to depend on the cousin (M-16A1) (again) in a combat environment, especially in the desert. I don't think the old A1 is in use anymore. I don't know about the A2, however, both of those variants are, for the combat role, p.o.s. in my opinion.

The UZI I have never fired. I almost bought a cheap imitation of one at a gun show once but figured, what's the point? Nonetheless, the real McCoy sure was a huge success for the Israeli's who, by most reports I've read, seem to have loved it.
