I remember recently watching an Al Jazeera programme about the Afghan army, and how they hate using the AR15/m16?, one officer said it was hopeless in the Afghan war as it was too unreliable and did not have the power to stop enemy soldiers as the AK47/74 did. He then proceeded to prove his point by trying to fire a full magazine, and it stopped twice, and this was with the correct cleaning and usage instructions given by the US advisors.
