Don't buy that argument. The C7 is rated as one of the best rifle on earth and that is an M-16. And others have shown, weapons discipline is the answer to most of the stated problems.

I've seen bad H&Ks before. They are no more immune to abuse than any other weapon except those manufactured specifically to take abuse, ie the Kalashnikovs.
