i hear they jam often i can belive we send our troops to war with such peice of crap...
i heard their useless in the desert.
that why i love my AK, shoots no matter what u do to it. you can fill it with sand/mud/water/rocks run it over with a tank it will still fire.

Bottom line the M4 is adequate but not the best for dirty/dusty environments.
If you clean it religiously after every firing most guns won't fail but 1,000+ rounds crouched over a sand dune is a different story.
Shit after I fired my friends M4 after about 1,000+ rounds the 14" barrel was so hot the vertical grip burnt my hands. So gloves are a must!

The AK47's are like Glocks, very reliable. And my AR15 only jams when I put low quality ammo.

That's why you build a gas piston upper and have a super reliable rifle that's more acurate then an AK

Keep it lubed up and it won't jam. Its not as reliable in desert combat but still works. My brother kept a condom over the front of his barrel in afghanistan.

true, but you gotta be careful about over-lubing it. In Iraq, I met quite a few who'd pour oil all over their bolt, only to have it collect the iraqi sand like it was a sticky piece of fly paper
