My summer bikini body wasn ' t ready , but my winter sweater body is onpoint ! <| sep |> It ' s the Dwarf Fortress sense of <| sep |> Jesus , this company is dead . <| sep |> Exactly . You waste your ult on one person , they won even if they died . <| sep |> It ' s the ' hypnotize you before eating your face ' kind of relaxing . <| sep |> Hard question to answer . Reliabilitywise most of the M 4 ' s competition outperformed it during Phase II of the ICC , even against M 4 ' s historical proving ground data using tailored rounds . Something in the order of 300900 stoppages for M 4 vs 100250 for its competition , many of which were using experimental magazines that contributed to the failure rate . This is especially true for extreme environment conditions such as deserts , which is relevant because think about where recent conflicts have taken place . Also iirc there is data from the early 2000 ' s suggesting M 4 A 1 ' s had lower mean rounds per stoppage than the M 16 by a good margine . Accuracy ? Who knows . It was only ever revealed that one competitor outperformed the M 4 in shooting drills , but we don ' t know what the sample size was , what the conditions were , what were the target score biases many of the target stats , such as mean rounds per stoppage , were higher for competitors than M 4 , indicating that expectations were asymmetric , etc . What we do know was that they last minute required the competitors to shoot an entirely new round , which none of the competitors had ever tested and thus performed predictably unpredictably . The government trials were incredibly unfair , and a lot of the criteria , as well as results , weren ' t openly published , so we can ' t really use them to definitively conclude anything . No one since has conducted a trial of sufficient size and rigor to be considered worthy . Pricewise , those of the competitors which have gone into production are generally expensive as all fuck compared to your bog standard AR 15 , so there ' s that . Given the indications I ' d personally lean towards the idea that there is at least one platform which outperforms the M 4 in mostall categories , or at least , enough that it can be considered surpassed . I ' d also lean towards the idea that there is more than one platform which outperforms the M 4 in at least one category , one that is important enough to justify issuingpurchasing it over the M 4 in certain contexts .
