tl;dr - Head of the USMC doesnt want to switch to the collapsible stock on the M16 because its less reliable, not as good for hitting people in the face and may break when used to lift people up. |

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.

Re: US Marines modification for M16
A collapsible stock seems kind of odd on a M16 of all weapons, I think I'd rather have it a solid buttstock..

Re: US Marines modification for M16
They could change the stock then issue a club.

Re: US Marines modification for M16
Why not do what the British did with the old L1A1 and have several different lengths of stock to fit different users? While it doesn't have all the flexibility of having a collapsible it does does mean the user keeps the advantages of the full stock while having a length of pull more suited to them.
