An honest question, not a flame:

Would the M16/AR15 perform as well in a dirty, muddy environment? Many people who argue the AK's reliability aren't talking about bench conditions, but mud and sand and water. I'd like to see that test as well, with maybe a VZ 58 thrown in since its generous bolt operation would theoretically make debris less of a problem.
