Willard is known to be somewhat skeptical about the AR in general.
I wonder if it's because the M16 originates from the same company that produced his "favorite" aircraft, the C-123J.
The love he expresses for the Provider is expansive enough to envelope Armalite by default.
This was my favorite plane (not). Got to fly in one from Charleston to Panama on a mail run in 1971. Sucker was loaded with mail and freight, took every inch of the runway to get airborne, and we had our doubts it would make it. https://youtu.be/okN_oDIdTPY
