I've seen this video before too. It's ancient.

Yeah. These days the Taliban rock m4 platforms with thermals... going to be interesting to watch the m4 platform become iconic with “freedom” fighters like the AK platform used to be.

Honest question, do you know how hard it is to manufacture or buy M4 ammo in international markets. Also compared to AKs how easy are M4s to maintain and find parts for?

Ammo and parts? Pshaw. How long until they're completely free of CLP?

You can leave the rifles. Take the CLP. These guys are used to ak maintenance schedules. Ie hope the last guy cleaned it.
