Why do you need M16 if you have M4?

Hello.

Currently I own a Bushy M4/A2 and I need some more reason that I need to buy another AR15 (which would be AR15-A3 20" bbl I guess)

I usually shoot at 100~200m range, and I don't know if 20" bbl will make some difference than using 14.5" bbl.

I also heard most combats take place in less than 200 meters (usually 150 meters) which is adequate for M4's job (at least I think)

What do you think?

"because I want one and I've got the money in hand to buy it" always works for me

yup.

sounds like you got the bases covered with an M4. my shorty does the same thing.

my next buy will be a long range heavy barreled target upper so i can have a dedicated varmint rifle. 300-1000 yds.

What does your post have to do with an M16?

It's a select-fire weapon.

Also, Deleware doesn't allow MG's, but does allow SBR, AOW, and DD.

Why? Because in some states we can. Some people have every config possible. Why, because they can...

Read the Ammo FAQ at the top of the Ammo forum.

Sorry about the confusion.

I meant AR15-A3 20" bbl by M16, AR15-A2 14.5" bbl by M4. Sorry about that.

Troy, I've already read that and I'm getting properly persuaded now :)

(M193 Bullet fragmentation for 20" bbl and 14.5" bbl differs a lot I see)

Thx to me I had 14.5 instead of 16, so there is MORE difference! :)

Cuz the M4 is a JOKE.
