There is Chinese 556?
I remember seeing pics from Nicaragua or El Salvador a while back. Someone had an early M16 that had the front of the mag well completely eaten through, due to wear or corrosion from the shooter(s) putting their hands there, I guess. Someone had fashioned a complete set of wood furniture for it. I'll try to find a pic on the innernetz if I can.
As to regards to the fighting effectiveness of different insurgents I have seen.
depends bro, Iranian Quds forced trained Shi militias and Bathist led sunni fighters are of course going to be more professional and proficient at fighting. I have seen some straight up retarded Haj in assholistan but I also seen some squared away Taliban as well. Just like I have seen some very stupid big army units that couldn't fight their way out of a toilet if they fell in.

Fighting insurgents is different from fighting nation-states.
We won Iraq like we did any other nation-state. Unfortunately, in doing so, we overthrew the dude who prevented this Sunni and Shiite civil war.
Now we have dudes who want to re-establish the caliphate fighting dudes who are waiting for the twelfth imam to reappear with Jesus to save humanity.

Shit, I had yellow-box Norinco 5.56mm in the early 90's (dating myself of course).
The handguards on that ChiCom M4gery actually look ergonomic.
I believe Canada gets some of the ChiCom M4geries imported.

Photos and video from northern Iraq show ISIS fighters demonstrating better weapons discipline (e.g. safeties on, fingers out of trigger wells) and using better load-bearing gear than I've seen in the past. They clearly have some training and standards that shouldn't be underestimated, likely coming from Chechen and other "imported" fighters.
Someone pointed out on LF that there are some other (probably captured) weapons out there aside from U.S.-provided Iraqi M16s and M4s:

Never underestimate the enemy.
800 retards can't defeat 30-40k that easily (yes, even if they're the IA). These guys are motivated, trained, and most are seasoned combat vets from Syria.
I'm sure they captured a shitload of M16A2s and M4s, plus massive amounts of 5.56 and mags to boot. They'll last a very very long time, consider there's still M16A1's in Laos and Cambodia still ticking and the jungle is much worse on weapons than the ME. Also remember all that M855 they just found is non corrosive, unlike most 7.62 out there. So those weapons are here to stay.
Those 1151's on the other hand... I'm sure they captured them deadlined.
PS- If you think they're bad now, wait till they figure out how to close ejection ports!
