But as to the bigger point: The weapon matters little. the intent of the user determines if it is a "weapon of war". Hell, I've seen folks use rocks.
I'm not certain, but has the M-16 totally been phased out of the inventory? Regardless, the M4 is just a variant of the same design.
If the weapon matters little, then why do you think the M-16 is obsolete? The M-16 can only be obsolete if the type of weapon matters. If the type of weapon doesn't matter then the M-16, and a rock for that matter, can't be obsolete. If the weapon doesn't matter why does the military upgrade their weapons inventory?
