Натнулся тут - фразочка понравилась

The M16/M4 reliability issue begins with the weapon's gas system, which in the words of another journalist, "vomits into its own mouth." The Ljungman-type direct impingement gas system is simple and lightweight, but it blows hot gases, carbon fouling and unburned powder particles directly back into the weapon's receiver. Not only does this require intensive maintenance, but heavy lubrication to keep the fouling soft and the rifle operating. In the hostile Iraq environment where dust the consistency of talcum powder gets into everything, the lubricant becomes a "dust magnet," causing frequent stoppages (jams) - just what you need in a firefight! Both M16 and M4 weapons have this problem. Anyone who has ever cleaned an M16 or M4 remembers the caked on carbon fouling that must literally be scraped off the internal components of the bolt carrier assembly.

"..газовая система, по словам другого журналиста, "блюет самой себе в рот"...
