I would HIGHLY recommend the Sub2k. The gun does not take different mags, instead there are different models that take different mags. For example there is one that takes Glock 9mm mags, one that takes Beretta 92 mags and so forth. A Berretta Sub2k will not accept Glock mags and vice versa. Of course I suggest the Glock 9mm version. One because there are easy to get hi-capacity QUALITY mags for Glocks like the Glock 18 mag. Plus, if I remember correctly, 9mm out of a 16" barrel has more energy then a .357 magnum does at the muzzle! Mine is incredibly reliable, two stove pipes out of about 500 rounds and I blame that on the anemic cheap 9mm ammo I was using. The rifle is accurate as well, first day out, with a 33rd g18 mag, at 25 meters I had one hole about an inch and a half in diameter! I was impressed! She fits perfectly in my lap top bag with four G18 mags WITH the computer in it too! ;)

Maybe the hype for it was misinterpreted at some point. Like the company said the line as a whole accepts diff mags and people started saying it as though each gun did. I'll add it to my list.

@JD7.62: You are correct about the AK and definately know your stuff. I agree that the AK was designed to handle any conditions which is a bonus. In fact, that was a flaw of the M16. The M16 was notorious for jamming up in Vietnam. I love to make my guns as accurate as possible, hence my preference for the AR. However, you make a great point as far as the application of the AK for untrained soldiers needing to hit a torso sized target rather than a quarter. I would love to get an HK (PTR) 91 or an FN sometime soon. However my list is large and I don't even have the cash for the ammo I need as it is...

Early M16's jamming problems were attributed to a failure to keep the weapon properly cleaned. (The weapon had tight tolerances) This problem disappeared with changes in ammunition that had a cleaner burning powder.

Very true. The first versions also lacked the forward assist that are on current models.
 
The forward assist is junk. The bolt on the original was shiny chrome and got dirty easily plus soldiers were painting it so that the enemy wouldn't see it reflect even though they could have just closed their dust covers. The biggest improvement to the m16 was the change in bolt design
