I shot the A2 alot the first few years I was in the Marine Corps, no experiance witht he A1 other then a few fam fires at machine gun shoots. I'm a big fan of the A2 and can honestly say it shot and handled great, never had a single malfunction with one (other then one bad magazine one time on qualification day). I shot several of them over the years. The 20" barrel is a little longer and more cumbersome for close in shooting but, the A4 is essentilly the same rifle with a pop off carry handle and the quad rail handgurads. Marines have been useing them with no problem doing house clearing and other cqc missions for several years now and doing fine with them. We did alot of cqc training and I was still toting an A2 and had no issue witht he barrel length at all.
