In my 11 years of active duty, of all the flavors of M16 I was issued, the Hydra-Matic was always the most accurate and reliable.
That has been my experience also. I heard rumors of "jamming '16s' when I hit country (2/502 Inf 101st Abn Div). I was issued the Hydra-Matic (which I thought was the only '16s in existance) and found them to be highly reliable.

I just couldn't figure out what the problem was. It wasn't until I got the internet that I found out M16s would get you killed in Vietnam.
