M4/M16 overrated in Modern War?

[TheBigRedOne]

I thought the M-4 was designed more for urban type combat. The shorter barrel length made acquiring targets and maneuvering in tight spaces easier. Imagine trying to swing around the corner of a room with an M-14. The muzzle would get there 10 minutes before you would!

That said, the stopping power of the M-14 can't be denied, just ask Pvt. Pyle.
