Of course it doesnt jam during practice shooting when you clean it after every use.
The thing jams when you're out in the desert or in the jungle. When there is war going on around and you simply dont have the time or mean to clean it. In the middle of the battle it gets some sand or some water inside and all of the sudden it stops working. Thats when it makes a difference.

And where do you get your information from?
My M16 never jammed in Jungle Warfare School. Thats in the tropical rain jungles of Panama. Never, not once did it jam.
In October of 93 I was in a CONTINOUS 6 hour battle in Mogadishu. Thats a desert climate. Not 1 jam. Nada. Zip. Good thing or I probably wouldnt be here.
The only time I can remember my weapon jamming was during LightFighters school at Ft Drum, February of 91, its was -36F outside and too damn cold to be fighting or training anyway.
It was common routine for us to train to disassemble and reassemble our wepons blindfolded. And not just the M16, but the M60, M2 and Mk19.
How much experiance do you have with any weapon in a combat enviroment?
