Yeah, true story. Most of the 'Nam vets I ride with still refuse to own an AR-platform rifle, even though the weapons have been massively improved. The modern incarnations of the rifles are outstanding, but those originals were definitely shit-sandwiches. I'm actually planning on having Davis snag an AK sooner or later. In the close confines of a jungle, the accuracy differences between the AK and M16 are negligible. A max-effective range of 400m is still a good bit farther than you'll be shooting in the trees.
