I have no problem that you prefer FAL (one of the best auto loader rifle every made), M14 (all around good rifle), or 556.
However, beyond personal preference the best warriors in the world use AR. The people that put their live on the line choose AR. The tip of spear choose AR. It's not my opinion it's a fact.
This video is what made Blackwater famous. The video shows Travis Haley and few Blackwater contractors repelling hundreds of insurgents trying to overrun their position. What are they using? AR15. They could have picked the FAL or M14 or G36 or whatever, but all of them used AR15. Why? Because it is the best weapon.
The AR15 is the rifle of choice for contractors in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. It's not my opinion it is a fact.

Travis Haley is now employed by Magpul under the division name Magpul Dynamics. He still using the AR15. The best warriors use AR15.

The Navy SEAL that killed the three pirates used mk-11 (SR25/AR10) which is the big brother of the AR15. The US Army is replacing their M24 with M110 (SR25/AR10/Mk-11). The M14 is being replaced by the M110 as the primary designated Marksman rifle. Why? Because the AR accuracy is superior to bolt action rifle. No other auto action rifle can do what the AR does.
US Special Force as well as other nation can use whatever weapon they like. Yet almost all Western SF units choose AR. Why because it is the best.
