LOL - did you also think Seiwa's use of "it" referred to the XM8?

For future reference. I am Seiwa. And I was referring to the M-16.

Sorry, but that's especially funny. So, when you said "(o)r at least if did back in vietnam when it was still fully automatic", were you referring to the XM8?

Hmmm... "Most people state the M-16's sarcasm on the internet" doesn't really seem to make much sense. Are you sure you were referring to it in your sentence?

As for your not understanding the difference between "their" and "there", you should ask your English teacher. (If you're shy about it this might help: http://esl.about.com/od/grammarintermed ... _there.htm)

Aha - another proudly ignorant high school grad. Your (or as you might say "you're") teachers must be proud to have graduated an illiterate.

I am not an illiterate. I simply don't bother myself with the difference between 2 words when on the internet.
That does not come close to constituting illiteracy.

Meh, one or the other. The Bushmaster ACR is more modular than the SCAR, so...

The only things I have ever heard called the "mk. 1" are the Lee Enfield and a clothing store.
