Re: USA: OICW and M8 Rifle.

If I may chime in on the M16 / M4 issue.

Currently the M4 with the M68 sight is the standard issue for all combat troops and select service support elements (MPs, HUMINT teams, SIGINT teams, generally anyone who does "outside the wire" missions). Support elements (Supply, cooks, transportation, Battalion/Brigade staff.....) use the M16A4.

What is the difference between a M16A3 and M16A4? cosmetic really. The M16A4 has the picatinny rail system in place of the forward handguards.

For me..I'll take the M4 over a M16 any day.
