If the weapon matters little, then why do you think the M-16 is obsolete?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?
They upgraded because a fixed stock no longer made sense. So the design and not the type is obsolete. Of course there are weapons more effective than others; however their intended use can only make them a "weapon of war", which is a silly term IMO. But I'll leave you to argue the semantics with SSF.
