Not the typical thread, as the virtues of each weapon system have been championed over and over again, and we don't really need to re-hash piston/DI, etc.

A few years ago, they traded the AK-47 for the M16. I am sure it was largely a political move.
However, I have not been able to find how, as a whole, the trigger-pullers have liked/disliked their new weapon system. Does anyone have a link or information on the general consensus of how they are performing compared to their former platform?
Of further interest, if anyone knows, how do they feel about the 7.62x39 vs. the 5.56x45's effect on target?
