The M16 itself wasn’t the issue. The switch to cheap, dirty ammo and initial lack of cleaning kits provided to GI’s was.

[@ZaptheZombie]

It was also just a poorly designed gun, and if you used certain types of ammo, even if it was good ammo, it would decrease the reliability of the weapon

[@em3rican137]

@@ZaptheZombiepoorly designed… nah

[@ZaptheZombie]

@@em3rican137 if you go back and listen to literally any of the dudes who used those things when they first started rolling out, they hated them, and if you listen to why they hated them and look into why the gun behaved that way, you’ll go “why did they do it like that”. It was a gun that was prone to rust, jamming, and frankly breaking because it was a gun made for cheap out of plastic that needed to get cleaned constantly IN THE JUNGLE. They had to overhaul the design for anyone to actually want to use the thing

[@Baxtermcballs]

They also told them it was some space-age future gun that they basically didn’t even have to clean

[@braddywarbucks]

​@@ZaptheZombieit's essentially the same weapon they use today. The problem was they didn't issue cleaning kits or train the men on how to operate them. Training consisted of taking the men to the edge of camp and have them shoot a magazine into the jungle. If you maintain any weapon properly and give it a lot of attention it will work in any climate. Like I said, the M-4 the military still uses is essentially the same rifle and it is deployed around the world.

The reason why people cared about Domino Theory in the 1950's and 60's, the reason Shane SHOULD care about Domino theory, is because between like 1958-1962, like 50 million Chinese people starved in the Great Leap Forward. The spread of communism was literally life and death in the 50's and 60's. Look at Cambodia, look at the Khmer Rouge, that is what people were afraid of.

[@Nediac800]

The M16 wasn’t the thing jamming, it was the magazines they were given. They weren’t built to spec and would fail to feed fairly consistently

[@Steve_643]

I thought it was because the Army changed to ball gunpowder in the ammo from the stick gunpowder the M16 was originally designed around. Ball gunpowder burns a lot dirtier it leaves a lot more carbon in the chamber than stick. It also didn’t help the military got cheap and didn’t want to pay to have the bolt carrier and inner chamber chrome lined like the M16 was originally designed. All those issues combined caused the rifle to jam a lot, it didn’t help they weren’t issued with cleaning kits.

M16 jammed because the airforce liked it but they did not want to lose the contracts for the M14 so they refused to issue the m16 with adequate cleaning supplies.

[@benjamingamache6441]

I though it was because they tested it using stick powder, then switched to ball powder when they started issuing it. Granted, I'm sure issuing them without cleaning kits wasn't a brilliant idea either.

The initial rounds of m16s and the ammo in vietnam were purposefully sabotaged by the army bc the general who wanted the m14 to be thr service rifle were mad about the m16 switch

[@bobross7005]

There were definitely other wars with significant opposition before Vietnam, though. You know the phrase “shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater”? It was first used to justify the criminalization of free speech during WWI, because so many people were opposed to the war and conscription. Tons of people opposed the Spanish-American War - famous “anti-imperialists” included Mark Twain. Tons of opposition to the Mexican-American War. Lots of people thought it was a cynical ploy to get more land for slavery. The Republican Party platform condemned it as essentially an evil thing into the 1880s. Grant said, to paraphrase, that it was the most unjust war a stronger country had ever imposed on a weaker (obviously, a bit of hyperbole). In his memoirs, Grant basically said that the Civil War was us getting our “just deserts” for the Mexican American War - that it was karma: “The Southern rebellion was largely the outgrowth of the Mexican war. Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions. We got our punishment in the most sanguinary and expensive war of modern times.” Grant would know, too - he fought in the Mexican War as a young officer.

[@bobross7005]

On another note, George Friedman is a nutcase who has no idea what he’s talking about ~90% of the time.

[@quagmoe7879]

the m16s were compromised because they used the wrong kind of powder in the cartridge. it would have been a better weapon than the m14 if it had the proper ammo.

[@jimjamauto]

Some guys still preferred the M16 and especially the XM177 despite the issue because they were lightweight and had soft recoil. There's a theory Ian McCollum mentions in one of his videos that the problems were blown out of proportion by some of the top brass as an "I told you so" because of the politics of changing to a smaller standard round were very nasty. No matter what actually happened, every theory just further confirms the military industrial complex is evil.

The reason why the french build a landing strip/base in a valley, was because it was surrounder by hills with jungle forests covering them. They (rightfully) thought that you can't get artillery up there by truck. What they forgot about is, that you can still get artillery up there by foot (or animals). So the vietnam push artillery up the surrounding hill. Without thaz fire support, the french might have very well won that battle.

[@gregwil694]

This is probably already in the comments. But MacArthur did a very dangerous amphibious landing, which was a stroke of strategic genius. And he led NATO forces to close to the border of China and that’s when things turned bad because the Chinese unleashed a good 10 million soldiers.

I wish the myth about the M16 would die out. The M16 was way better than people think. The problem was that the powder Eugene Stoner used in testing burned cleaner than the powder used in the field. The rounds were also too hot compared to what the rifle was designed to shoot. The increased rate of fire and increased amount of unburnt powder caused the rifle to jam excessively.
