Make the M16 design even better? imagine now laws against short barrels or folding stocks flash hiders ect...
If you where a firearms designer, what would you change on the M16 to make it the ultimate assault rifle for you? And if you know how, explain yourself in detail.

I would say Quick change barrel and flat top with built in pop up sight.

Utilize a ZM weapons type gas system that does not allow exhaust to be blown directly back into the recieiver, and enables the use of a folding stock.  Also, design new mags that can be clipped together like the those fo the G36.

1. Flip-up tritium nightsight.
2. Ambidextrous safety/selector.
3. A collapsing stock that doesn’t pull my moustache/beard and has a better butt plate.
