I think a clone is some kind of replica of an original thing.

So if lionoisy were an M16 in 1960 , he wud be an M16A4 today . So I say that's an improvement - you think ?

If he were a clone, he would still be an M16 right ? So , he is not a clone right ?

Now ,if he were still a clone ............someone please finish the story.......

I love the M4......a light and handy rifle that's quite accurate and fairly easy to mantain.

guess main improvements would be on the accesories rather than the platform

Pl give us a break here----dunt compare M16 with other old or new rifles.

I just want to know what improvements,if any, have been made to M16 in the past says,20 years.

Look at the computer,the TV and handphone u are using every day.All have been improved for few generations in the past 20 years.I am generous here.If u think 20 not enough,just share.There is no ban if u tell me improvement 40 years ago.

Pl take note what the co inventor of M 16 replied when he was asked

''''And what kind of advance was there in our combat rifle?''

JIM SULLIVAN (answered): They're right exactly where they were when we gave them the M-16 in 1960. They haven't advanced an inch.....''

This thread has been inspired by the grave comments of JIM SULLIVAN, M-16 Co-Designer:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military/july-dec07/rifles_09-24.html

PAUL SOLMAN, NewsHour Economics Correspondent: The M-16 semiautomatic rifle. With its shorter version, the M-4, it's the gun of our troops in combat. The hat's for the sun, by the way; the earmuffs for the noise. Jim Sullivan helped design this rifle during the Eisenhower administration.

JIM SULLIVAN, M-16 Co-Designer: Fifty years ago.

PAUL SOLMAN: Fifty years ago?

JIM SULLIVAN: Well, we started on it 50 years ago this month.

PAUL SOLMAN: That's 1957, the year the Soviet Union launched Sputnik. In the half-century since, computers shrank from houses to handhelds; polio was cured; man made it to the moon and Mars. And what kind of advance was there in our combat rifle?

JIM SULLIVAN: They're right exactly where they were when we gave them the M-16 in 1960. They haven't advanced an inch.....
