Sounds like mainly rubish to me. Mr. Sullivan can do some fine rifle development, but I have to wonder what sort of rifleman he is. Firstly, my M4 operated just fine, as did many around me. There are methods to keep this system running without excessive effort. The issued round is fine. Well placed shots from a well maintained rifle kills the enemy.

Two big points in this video I take issue with are the length of the rifle's service and the 30 round limit. Firstly, how many people carry 1911's on a daily basis? How long has the M2 Browning been in service? How many issue M-16's and M-4's fire on full auto? Who would use that feature if they did?

Is the Ak-47 and it's variants a poor rifle? I've shot them alot less, and carried them even less than that, but they seem acceptable. They apparently make kills, too. It's one thing to criticize, it's another to find a solution. Replacing the uppers of existing rifles with commercially available piston actuated systems, in a newer caliber might be a good call, but is the marginal utility worth the marginal cost? Good riflemen can make their shot with the rifle they have.
