Having served with those who fought in Korea and spending my time in the puddle. 30 Carbine is not, a M 16.
The E-tool is effective for CQC. (A Gunny of mine, mentioned he had a number of confirms from that weapon)
There are a lot of dead NVA and VC because of the M16 and a lot of living soldiers, Marines and other because of the M16 too.
The AK 47 was superseded by the AK 74, 5.45 round.
In RVN, if some one offered a M14 instead of a M16, it probably would be rejected. With a M16 you can carry twice as much ammo. For those who had to walk for a living that was a big concern, weight.
There are many great calibers. Also that is why there are squads, and squad size weapons. To help fill in the down side of what the standard arm does not do.
