If I'm looking at an eminent gunfight, the M16 or M14icon would be my first choice.

A few dozen posts back there was a story about spiking enemy ammo dumps with bad rounds. One of my good friends from Petaluma was a SF Medic. He told me about those exercises. They would randomly open cases of ammo and drop in these explosive rounds. He said that they would generally kill the guy, at least that's what he heard. Makes sense, you have to abandon the whole thing. If you don't have the people to haul it out, blowing it is the alternative. That would leave a lot of rounds that were scattered but still good. This worked 100%. He had a brand new Chinese Tokarev 33 with a brand new holster that he pilfered out of one of the ammo dumps they wrecked. He said there was a whole case of them.
