My kid brother, Private Jesse D. Fronk, recently joined the US Marine Corp and completed combat training. This is where a bunch of 18 year old kids spend six weeks shredding moving and stationary targets using various projectile, mounted, and hand propelled weaponry including grenades, grenade launchers, hand guns, rifles, and machine guns. He talked a lot about the SAW (big/sometimes-mounted machine gun) and the grenade launcher but when I asked which weapon he would prefer if he were to find himself in a hostile situation where he was unsure of what kind of crap to expect, he replied, "The M16 rifle - hands down."
