Skimming through this old thread, I happened to see the following post, which I found amusingly ironic in light of the Marines decision to switch from 20" barrel M16 rifle to 14.5" barrel M4 carbine.

You have plenty of velocity in that configuration, so there is no need for the common infantry rifleman to have a 20" barrel.Sorry, but I can't resist this:
"Tell that to the Marines!"
