<p>An Israeli boy plays with an M-16 rifle during a traditional military weapon display to mark the 66th anniversary of Israel&#8217;s Independence at the West Bank settlement of Efrat near the biblical city of Bethlehem on May 6, 2014. By Gali Tibbon/AFP/Getty Images. Update from a reader:</p>
<blockquote><p>People have probably already told you this, but that&#8217;s not an M-16 the boy is holding.  It appears to be an M-4 (note the retractable stock) with an M-203 grenade launcher attached.</p></blockquote>
