US rifles not suited to warfare in Afghan hills

[rahock]

I wouldn't condemn any semi-auto firearm based on its behavior with the first couple hundred rounds.  Many firearms need to be "shot in" with a few hundred rounds in order to function as intended. 

Having said that, I have a Llama .22 Mark XV that's a miniature Colt 1911 - and it really is finicky about the ammo it likes.  That's not unusual for .22 semi-autos.  I had to try out some different loads to get reliable functioning.

I've got a Llama 380 that's a bit picky about ammo too.
