Well not out a 14.5 barrel!

Martin Fackler, a ballistics expert, also defended the 5.56 mm round, blaming the M-4s inadequate performance on its short barrel, which makes it easier for soldiers to scramble out of modern armored vehicles.

"Unfortunately weapon engineers shortened the M-16's barrel to irrational lengths," Fackler said. "It was meant for a 20-inch barrel. What they've done by cutting the barrel to 14.5 inches is that they've lost a lot of velocity."

The Duck
Hi I am John D Farquhar, I have been involved with shooting, training and tactics a long time. It has become a passion not only to teach others how to preserve life, but remind them of their rights as Americans. I have added several of the Gun Rights Groups to my blog list, if you are interested in learning more. http://www.firearmsfuture.com/ I also have no intention to place ads or ask for tips.
