No, it's a comment on what I know from personal experience. Note I also stated both the L1A1 and Steyr AUG are better weapons and therefore the statement IS in context.
There's no "badmouthing" here at all, just statements of fact based on personal experience. Others may well have other experiences and formed other opinions, and as far as I'm concerned, they're entitled to state them.
