    I had someone not believe me when I told them they still issued M16s in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    “Wikipedia told me they switched to the M4 entirely!?!?”

    Yeah, okay bud, just like they’re going to be using nothing but the M5 in another decade.

    Or two…

    Or three.

    I bet you could get issued a M1 under the right circumstances.

      People who don’t know how deep military warehouses go. Wouldn’t surprise me if there weren’t some WWI field phones floating around somewhere.

      Isn’t the Army still issuing M1903s? With warehouses like that, they’ll never fully modernize!
