The reliability, or lack of, that most people claim in regards to the AR15 is often HIGHLY exaggerated.

My issued weapon at Basic (either m16a1 or a2, can't remember) was ratty and obviously had seen plenty of use. And I'm not talking about the kind of use a responsible owner that cares about his weapon gives it either. I'm taking about Privates who generally don't care about their weapon because they don't understand how it important their weapon is just yet. Never had problems with it unless it was a magazine problem. Replace the magazine and off we went.
In my experience, your statement is very true.
