    True, but unless this guy was in another army he's not using the correct lingo.

    Not to sound old school but the M-14 and especially the modern variants should not be over looked. It is more of a "battle rifle" than an assault rifle but it has many features to commend it. It is certainly being "re-adopted" in the SO world.

    I've had some time on the G36's and like them very much. I've shot the AUG and is is also a nice design.

    My M4 has been a pretty reliable assault rifle. It is more finnicky bad about magazines than anything. I keep it pretty clean and think one of the factors has been good synthetic lubrication (kel-lube, mil-tech).
