[@Enraged-Gecko]

The British Land Pattern Musket, colloquially known as the “Brown Bess”, was the most common long arm in use during the American Revolution. Due to the fact that male citizens of the thirteen North American colonies were required by law to own arms and ammunition for militia duty, the Brown Bess became the de facto standard for the Colonial Army. Many households in rural areas owned rifled muskets, such as the famed Kentucky Long Rifle, which were more suitable for taking game. While rifles were significantly more accurate than a smooth bore musket, they were not without their disadvantages. 1.) Black powder produces substantial fouling which will quickly accumulate in the rifling, severely diminishing the advantage a rifle has over a musket. 2.) To take advantage of a rifle’s accuracy, the ball must fit snugly in the bore. This right fit makes reloading much slower, especially when fouling begins to build up. When compared to conventional muskets, rifles weren’t capable of producing the same volume of fire. 3.) Rifled barrels were significantly more expensive to produce, limiting their availability and effectiveness on the battlefield.

[@547Rick]

My story. In May of 1966 I joined the Indiana National Guard. By the end of May were sent to Camp Atterbury for two week of basic training. I qualified on the M1 during that two week period. In December of that year I was transferred to an SRF and was sent off to basic training at Fort Campbell in January of 1967. Their I qualified on an M14. In May of that year I completed my active duty and went back to my unit. In June we sent off to two week of training and I qualified with the M16M1. So in just a little over a year I qualified with an M1, M14 and M16.

[@DuvalTrio]

That's crazy I've seen these guns my whole life but each gun has its own look it would've been cool to see something so new that will be later used for decades. Also what was your reaction to first seeing the m16? It looks so much different from the typical m14

[@547Rick]

I wish I could remember. I can tell you one thing though. After I shot it. I fell in love. The M1 is a great gun but after firing it for awhile you get tired of the weight and the kick. Not that you can't handle it. It just tiring but sure can reach and touch someone, The M14 is lighter with less kick after repeated fire and loads with a magazine. I though this was wonderful. The M14 is a great shooting rifle. Then I was introduced to the M16. What a rifle! It is light with no noticeable recoil. You can carry lots of ammo and it is a dream to shoot and shoot well. It will not shoot very long distances but I loved the platform.

[@d23g32]

My older brother went into the USMC in the late '60s. He said they went through basic with M14s, then when he got to 'Nam they handed him an M16. It was the first time he had ever seen one. He laughed about it later, but at the time the Marines trusted their M14s and were suspicious of the M16, especially if they had gone through basic with the M14.

[@W1sperish]

You think that’s bad,well it gets worse. One of the worst things to do even now is clean your guns,and if you were part of the army in the 1700’s firing a black powder gun,and had to clean all the carbon from the black powder.Basically you and the rest of your Company would get a giant pot of hot water and put your gun parts into it,the problem was back then there was no such thing as interchangeable parts on guns,every piece was one of a kind,meaning if you lock,or even barrel band was on someone else’s gun,you wouldn’t be able to assemble it right,and depending on what part of the gun it was,you might not even notice it until You tried to fire.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

That's true, the M-16 was originally sent to the troops being touted as a weapon that never needed cleaning. I remember my M-16 having "Mattel" imprinted very largely on the butt stock, lol. Yes, it was the Mattel toy company and I guess they supplied the plastic for the butt stock. There was no forward assist and the flash suppressor (that was the correct terminology) didn't have a ring around the top and only had three prongs I believe and they were notorious for getting caught on everything you could imagine. We used to use the flash suppressors to open the metal banding on wooden crates and such. You would stick the metal banding between the open suppressor ring and just twist until the metal bands broke. I'm sure that was good for the rifle, lol. The first "small" rifles (M-16) were issued to supervisors and they had a shorter barrel with collapsable stocks, etc.. They were called the GAU -5 or 5a. Those were the true precursors to the cool and funky AR's we have today. I believe they came out in the mid to late 70's (not exactly sure). To this day I am a .308/7.62x51 fan and have come to love the AR-10's of various types.These rifles are what the original AR-15 was supposed to be in Vietnam. Well, we show our age sometimes.

Why Ask No sir, you are incorrect. I am positive and if you do your research you will see that Mattel did supply plastic for the M-16. I am positive. Why would you say I am making things up?
