That the caliber is insufficient for the particular role, or that the caliber is insufficient overall?

Regardless, I wouldn't want 5.56mm coming my way.

Edited to add-

Alelks, Sir, did the cookoff happen after the weapon was used more for a suppressive type fire? I personally do not think that an M16 series weapon would cookoff after well aimed precision fire, even after multiple mags. If I am wrong, I feel lucky to have my toes after doing transition drills.
