The modernized, updated version of the AR15 platform, currently in use by the United States Army and Marine Corps. While in less numbers than the M16A2, and generally only used by frontline units, it is arguably better than its predecessor. The M16A4 features a picatinny rail, a railed fore grip, detachable sights, and a 1:7' rifling, rather than the 1:12' and 1:9' rifling previous models had, which equates to better power and accuracy. The M16A4 is, essentially, an M16A3, but with a safe/semi/3-round burst selector switch, rather than a safe/semi/fully-automatic switch.
Standard magazine capacity is 30-rounds of M855 or Mk. 262 5.56x45mm ball ammunition. It is gas-operated, with a rotating bolt. It is air-cooled, with an external, detachable magazine, peep hole sights, a forward assist, and a charging handle mounted on top of the receiver, behind the picatinny/carrying rail.
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, along with its predecessors, spare the M16(A0) are unworthy of the negative press they receive. They are great rifles, but the first version, which was heavily modified by Lyndon Johnson's DoD, has stained the M16/AR15's reputation, due to the reliability issues faced previously.

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.

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.

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.

A cartoon on Newgrounds - one which parodies The Ultimate Showdown (of Ultimate Destiny). It is vile, yet has an odd, humorous appeal. I advise you don't watch it, though if you do, you'll bust your ass laughing. Consider yourself warned.
Full title: The Ultimate Orgy of Homosexuality.
Full title: The Ultimate Orgy of Homosexuality.
Old Godzilla was fucking around
Tokyo City like a big playground,
when suddenly Batman jizzed from the shade,
and hit Godzilla with a bat-cum spray...
... This is the Ultimate Orgy,
of Homosexuality...
... Cue porno music, a funky, jive chorus.
Down from the heavens, came naked Chuck Norris.
Who discovered a dick as hard as bones,
attached to the crotch of Indiana Jones,
who bent over on the ground, smiling with glee,
as Batman changed into Ron Jeremy...
... The champion stood,
the women got wetter,
Mr. Rogers, in a cum-stained sweater...

Most assuredly not a German word, as asserted by the douchebags previous to me. Shiza, literally, means nothing in German, as in - of course - that it holds no meaning. Saying "shiza" to a German person will warrant you an odd look, and possibly an insult.
(Dip shit) SHIZA! SHIZA!
(Reasonable person) Shut up, fucktard; that's not an actual word in any language, at least not in the context in which you use it.
(Dip shit) Yes it is! It's German!
(Reasonable Person) Sigh, there's no point in trying to persuade you.

A fairly impotent, inarticulate figure who, by means unknown to me (or much of the world, for that matter), became not only the Repbublican presidential nominee in the years 2000 and 2004, but also the incumbant president. He is regarded as a dull person, with a distinct lack of intelligence, due to his speech problems, his stubbornness, and inane decisions made all throughout his presidency.
Being the president from 2000-2008, he is, by some, known to be one of the worst presidents in American history. He is a part of the Republican party, which has, recently, lost its majority hold over both the House of Representatives and Senate - both houses of Congress.
His achievements are, as follows:
- Worsening our debt, causing our balls to be more and more in the Chinese vice grip;
- Entering us into a war for murky reasons, and not being willing to either do what it takes to eliminate the insurgency, or leave;
- Nothing regarding outsourcing or illegal immigration;
- Making the US look like a bunch of idiots (possibly rightfully so) on the world stage;
- Butchering foreign affairs, and setting the NATO alliance on the brink of collapse;
- Wishing to ban abortions, homosexual unions, etc.;
- Et fucking cetera.

George Walker Bush is a very inept president, in my opinion. His opinions regarding many social issues, and his stance on this war in Iraq fucked. Beyond that, his reluctance to move against illegal immigration, outsourcing, or remedy the budget predicament, is utter idiocy. Obviously, I'm not the guy's biggest fan.

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!
