I'm sincerely sorry that these things happened, they shouldn't have. But let's not misplace the blame. The original design of the rifle and ammo specs are solid. It was when those were modified that the rifle became unreliable. That situation was quickly corrected. And those responsible for the modifications are the ones with blood on their hands, not the rifle.
And the thing most don't want to talk about is that the M14 may have been reliable, but it was a failed experiment too. Had we stayed with the M14 we would have filled a lot more body bags than we have. The AR design has saved more lives than it initially cost.
