The M4 carbine, the weapon soldiers depend on in combat, finished last in a recent “extreme dust test” to demonstrate the M4’s reliability compared to three newer carbines.

I talked to one of my friends who was my friend at BUD/S, now he's a SEAL in an east coast team. He said that his platoon will be getting the new FN SCARs when they get back from deployment, but said that he's really not digging it. He wants one of the 416s.
That being said, what's your opinion on the other contenders who beat the M4? It was the XM-8, HK 416, and the FN SCAR. If these three rifles were to be put on the civilian market, would any of you gentlemen be interested in looking to get one?
