Well, to expose your (lack of) knowledge, as a Vietnam Vet I can tell you that I did use M-16's who's parts were made by Mattel and Colt, as did most of us did. So, continue to believe your urban legends website and you'll be a great DD supplier.
My fact IS STILL TRUE AND APPLIES...THE MILITARY DOES NOT DISCLOSE WHO OR WHERE THEY RECEIVE THEIR EQUIPMENT FROM! They announce contracts, but when it comes to what's being used on the battlefield...zip! Manufacturers are not advertised.
I have limited posts here and see no reason waste them on your urban legends.
As for post 26853... Just because a company does not produce a report precisely on a specific day does not mean it should be bashed. I'd rather get true and accurate facts reasonably late than incomplete and vague facts on a date specified. Patience my friend. Patience in...emotions out, when trading. The news will come. GL
