Agree to disagree. Can’t top off, only eight rounds, heavy, front hand hard easily split by grabbing it, too much cartridge for average combat, ammo way too heavy to carry a decent basic load, op rod subject to bending. Like the 1911 it was a generation leap forward at the time but quickly overcome by improved options. (And before you bring up the M-14 it’s another platform that doesn’t live up to the hype. http://looserounds.com/2015/01/30/the-m14-not-much-for-fighting-a-case-against-the-m14-legend/ )
