Are piston ar15s more reliable than direct impingement?
They can be a little more forgiving of less frequent maintenance, but the leading cause of jams with AR pattern rifles is actually from the cheaply made mil-spec magazines, not the action. Also, with a piston system, carrier tilt becomes an issue of concern... they do make carriers and buffers designed to resist carrier tilt, though.
The average shooter probably won't actually gain anything from a gas piston AR vs. a direct impingement rifle, whereas, say, a Navy SEAL would, as they wouldn't be required to open the action and drain out the system after it was submerged before firing it.

Who makes the strongest and most durable AR15 quad rail?
Take your pick... BCM, Daniels Defense, Yankee Hill... pretty much any name with a repute for quality will make a product which meets and exceeds your durability requirements.

Can an ar15 shoot a bullet from an m16?
Most AR-type rifles are chambered for the 5.56x45 cartridge - the standard cartridge used by NATO (and also by several non-NATO) forces for their military's assault rifles. They can also chamber the .223 Remington cartridge, although a firearm with a dedicated .223 Remington chamber should not be used for military 5.56x45 ammunition.
