The m16 has seen it's time and is being surpassed by more modern weapons. But there is the pointy stick syndrome:
Train a guy to use a pointy stick, he likes it. That pointy stck may save hs life, and he loves it. Over time he believes it to be the ultimate combat weapon. Up to the day he is butchered by iron spears.
The militiary has this syndrome with m4s.
