Well considering most people couldn't tell the difference between a Remington 870, Wichester 1300, or a Mossberg 500 if they were more than 5 feet away, who cares? They are all pretty much identical in form and function. Any of them would work for me but when I went shopping for a shotgun the Remington was on sale so that's what I bought.

I suppose the artical should have just said a 12 gage pump action shotgun is manly.

well except that remington and winchester shooters hold their pinky fingers up while shooting, a clear give away at up to 100m

I haven't shot my 500 since I got an O/U for trap shooting.

Anyway, my experience with the m16 is second hand from all the manly marines it was the direct cause of death for during the vietnam war.

"Dabu! What's with the finger? That's not gangsta. That's not gangsta!"

I don't stick up no pinky finger when I shoot. Middle finger maybe....depending on who or what I'm shooting at, but that's a different story.

They have some other funny articles as well.

Check out their one on Ted Nugent.

Or the NRA.

Or skanky skinny chicks.

Well I'm not exactly an expert on M16s, but for 20 years I got to shoot it about once or twice a year depending how lucky I was to con my way into extra range time and siging up for the occasional base competions, and then maybe 3-4 times a year for about 10 years for base exercies and medical red flag training where we used blanks and in all that time I dont recall any misfires or jams that personally happened with me and the ones I saw that other people had could be directly related to how they took care of the weapons.

IIRC a Special Forces Lt that was training us one summer told us that M16 we use now is nothing like the M16 during Vietnam

Well considering the early M16's didn't have a forward assist, crome lined bore, and weren't issued with a cleaning kit, not to mention that the Army Ordinance folks decided to use stick powder instead of the recomended ball powder in the ammo the rifle got a bad rap in it's early days in Vietnam.

In my 17 years in the military and with the personal AR-15 I own I've probably fired well over 100,000 rds and I remember 3 malfunctions that I've had. 1 was due to a bent lip on the magazine, 1 was a pop no kick (no powder in the round) and I had a double feed once.

M-16 had problems at first because of dirty ammo, that problem was solved a long time ago.
