#1 I am not sure it is a good idea to handle a relatively high-maintenance weapon like the M16 to a force whose is not even able to handle same helmets to its soldiers while on parade. Thre is a goos reason guerrillas and forces whose men cannot be relied on maintenance work rely on inaccurate but rugged AK47s instead of M16s.
