HK does make the best firearm in the world, period. I've owned 3 and always made a profit when I sold them because of the high quality, they just dont go down in value.
However I've fired an M4 in combat, which is a shorty carbine version of the M16. The firing mechanism is identical, and as long as its kept clean it never had a problem. Ignorance and neglect is the main cause of almost all M16 failures. You have to keep it cleaned, keep it oiled, and load the magazine right or it will jam, but so will any other weapon. The M16 is just more picky about its care.
I never had my weapon jam in Somalia and its just as dusty and sandy there as Bagdad is.
