That's not really an honest comparison. For it to be honest you would need to equate the pistol to something short barreled, like the M135 demolition gun which is wholly inadequate for long range shooting or anti-tank work for obvious reasons. A more accurate comparison to the M526 is the M4 carbine. And if you are going to get into a shoot out with a rifleman with a M16 do you want an M4? Or do you want another M16?
This train wreck of a thread should've been closed in 2007...what in the blue hell was I thinking?
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
