Afghans Adopt the M-16

November 24, 2007: The Afghan Army is replacing its AK-47s for M-16s.

My unit found 13 Ak-47's buried in the dirt. Not in a box or protected in any way, but in the dirt. we dusted the rifles off, squirted some oil on the bolts, and EVERY single one of them functioned perfectly, with no malfunctions. Oh yeah, the ammo we used to fire them? Buried with the rifles. Now thats an idiot proof weapon.
