While Tiger is marginally better: Wolf's lower velocity is good for a lot of "battle-rattle" SKS and AK's that are floating around. Buy a 1000 round case of Wolf and the rounds are in two 500 round plastic wrappers, good for long term storage.

When it comes to M16 type, I think keeping the weapon clean and properly lubricated is the key to avoid malfunctions. I've used M16s and CAR15s in war and elsewhere ever since SF got the first prototypes in the early 60s and never had a malfunction. I got to shoot one of the very first that we got. What malfunctions were reportedly occurring in the 60s and 70s were resolved with the bolt forward assist mechanism that was added later. But nothing replaces clean and lubricate. The problems some troops had in Nam that I recall were with dirty weapons or they were reassembled incorrectly. The DPMS AR 15 mentioned earlier is a fine weapon. I own one in.223. But it is at least a couple of pounds heavier than the Colt.
