It fires a much more powerful cartridge (7.62x51 vs. 5.56x45), and uses a more reliable short stroke gas piston system vs. the direct impingement system of the M16. The one possible drawback would be apparent if the magazines were poorly made... I doubt the magazines designed by FN would be, but knowing how US government contracting works, an aftermarket manufacturer producing inferior quality magazines would likely be selected (as what happened with the M9 pistol).
