Your obsession with M16A2s burst firing on screen in movies made after 2008 really vexes me.

I find his obsession confusing, too. I like the M16A2 myself (which is why, when I was 14, I begged my parents to let me have a Tokyo Marui airsoft replica version), but it's kind of a dated design now. Given that big-budget action movies and TV shows tend to feature more modern AR variants like the M4 or HK416 (and even those are becoming prosaic choices nowadays), it's not realistic to expect many M16A2s to appear in "hero" roles anymore. Stick to watching stuff from the 1990s if you want to see M16A2s.
