Be that as it may, the M4 is a very different tool from the M1.

Very true, but modern battle rifles are fairly idiot proof. Safety/select fire, charging handle, bolt release, may release... All you need to learn.

You know one, you know them all. The trouble is learning one in the first place. Even still, there are differences in handling them.

Iron sights are pretty much the same. Dot sighy is self explanatory. I think he will do fine.

Uncle Sam still talking about switching ammo from the NATO round ? I've been out for over 20 and they were talking about it back then.

I hear they've got plans to switch out 5.56mm for 6.5mm in the next few years. They want to be testing it in the field by 2024, I think.

As an ROTC Cadet I trained with a surplus M1903A1. Now the kids get pellet guns. Life has changed.

Hope it goes well. The 5.56 is good for the quantity for patrol, but a lot of guys want a heavier round.

They want a bullet that can kill, or at least punch through armor. I've heard people from the old breed say that NATO standardization was the worst thing that's happened to the U.S. military since the first M-16s. Then again, they may just be bitter about losing their .45s.

I didn't like that switch, either. Use to be a lot less suburban combat and sidearms were the getting close to knife and hand to hand. That is the biggest advantage to M4 that I see, inner building mobility.

M4 is a damn good frame for urban combat, that's for sure.

There was an article in Readers Diegest about a Airborne Ranger bragging up to an older Ranger after he made his 50th jump. The older Ranger tells him that he had less than ten jump. Feeling a bit cocky he asked how someone with as many years in could have so few jumps compared to him. His reply was , I had two Stateside ,two in England, one in Normandy,Holland......... That cockiness evaperated pretty quick. lol

Debate : are all old people rude jerks, or does it come from the military training?

Good point. I see most comments here seem to be ignoring the rudeness, or are plainly on the old mans side. Yet from the captions, he's portrayed as an absolute jerkward, yet no one has anything to say about it. I mean the younger guy just seems to be trying to help.

Nope, just comes with time and experience. Now get off my lawn while I adjust my onion belt.

If the older guy went up to him to see a new weapon , then he never said anything rude . This meme isn't real.

After all it is just a meme; no need to overthink it.

@this_isntme I haven’t heard an onion belt reference in quite a while. Well played.
