A modern, modular assault rifle, in use by active duty, frontline units in the US Army and Marine Corps. It is the forerunner to the M16A2, which was in use from the early 1980's, to even now. While in less use than the M16A2, it is more effective.

Arguably a better rifle than its predecessors, the M16A4 is a rifle based on the AR15 platform. It features removable sights, a picatinny rail, fore grip rails, detachable carrying rail, and is slightly higher quality than the M16A2, all around. It utilizes a direct gas-diversion system, along with a rotating bolt. The magazines are generally 30-round ones, loaded with Mk. 262 or M855 5.56x45mm ball ammunition. It has a safe/semi-automatic/three-round burst selector switch.

Reliability in the M16A4 is solid; one is capable of firing upwards of 1,000 standard, ball rounds through a decently maintained rifle, with STANAG magazines, without a single jam or malfunction. While disputably not as good as the AK platform, it is a far cry from the M16(A0), and is a step up from the M16A2.
The M16A4 isn't worthy of its tarnished reputation, in reality. The M16 was an AR15, heavily modified from Eugene Stoner's designs, by Lyndon Johnson's DoD.

A man easily worth his own page, Davis is the lead singer of the nu-metal band Korn (generally written as KoRn or with the Cyrillic character which appears to be a backward "R"). His lyrical quality is superb, though See You On the Otherside isn't his best work.
Jonathon Davis is fucking ownage! As I've previously stated, he needs his own page.

The famous composer of "The Matrix" score. His music is especially heavy in strings, such as violins, but percussion or vocals make occasional appearances in the music, as do some electronica elements (mainly due to corroborations with Juno Reactor). He also composed for other films, but his works in The Matrix are considered his magnum opus.
Don Davis is a good composer, in my humble opinion.

1. A Korn song, written by Jonathon Davis because of his drug addiction.

2. Lacking the sense of vision. This can be caused by degenerative diseases, destruction of the retina/optical nerve, etc.
1. Are you READY?!?

A place inside my mind,
a place I like to hide.
You don't know the chances,
what if I should die?
A place inside my brain,
another kind of pain.
You don't know the chances,
I'm so blind!

Another place I find,
to escape the pain inside.
You don't know the chances,
what if I should die?
A place inside my brain,
another kind of pain.
You don't know the chances,
I'm so blind!

DEEPER, DEEPER, DEEPER INSIDE ME,
TO LIVE A LIFE THAT SEEMS TO BE
A LOST REALITY.
I COULD NEVER FIND A WAY TO REACH MY INNER-SELF.
I STAND ALONE,
I THINK AND I KNOW,
IN THE GROUND THAT I LAY,
IF I DON'T FIND A WAY
TO SEE THROUGH THE GRAY THAT CLOUDS MY MIND.
THIS TIME, I LOOK TO SEE WHAT'S BETWEEN THE LINES!

2. I need glasses, because I'm fucking blind.

der
Deutsch für "the." Anwendung finden als ein männlich wörter.

"Der" is a German word used for "the." As with most old, European languages, there are sex tenses in German. Der, in this case, is masculine; pronounced much like the word, "dare." It's not pronounced as "dur," as many retarded ignoramouses claim.

German for "superior," "super," "over," "above," and "beyond," among other things. As with many German words, the context dictates the proper denotation.

Without the diaresis above the "u," the word must be written as "ueber," otherwise it is improper. "Uber" is no such word; it doesn't exist.

An over-rated, over-populated country, roughly the size of California, with far less habitable land. Geographically, it lies off the north-eastern coast of China, and has a few climate zones, namely the foothills and mountains, and the plains and forests. It is an archipelago, consisting primarilly of 5 main islands - Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Furthermore, roughly 75% of the land in Japan is unsuitable for most everything.

The culture is similar to the Chinese, for Japan consists heavily of immigrants of the various Chinese kingdoms, who ventured there prior to the Mongol invasion of modern-day China, circa 1210. Due to this, the language and religions are fundamentally similar, spare Shinto. The language is written as katakana, or kanji, both of which are very much like Chinese caligraphy. The religions practiced are, by large, Shinto and Buddhism. They have a heavy reliance on technology, like the US and EU, and are on the frontier of technology, also like the US and EU. Japanese people often take pride in their medieval past, where feudal dynasties employed mercaneries, called samurai - who often had a strict honor code - to fight eachother. There is also a fairly high population of closet pedophiles.

Art consists of music, the classical Japanese style which uses percussion and wood wind instruments, and J-Pop, which is a shitty cousin to the equally bad American and European pop music. The visual arts are oft comprised of anime and manga, which are animated cartoons, and comic books, respectively. The styles of which are generally generic, along with much of the content. These are characterized, usually, by fairly simple, talentless art, shitty dialog, poor humor, and exaggerated or inaccurate violence and anatomy.

Economically, it is third in total GDP, behind China and the United States of America, respectively. They are close allies with the US, politically, diplomatically, and economically. Their biggest export and import partner is the US, who imports agricultural products into Japan, along with raw materials, chemicals, some electronics, and manufacturing equipment. Japan then exports automobiles, electronics, and such to the US.
Japan, while a fairly good country, isn't all it's cracked up to be.
