Thanks that's good to hear he liked it :)

He lies, there was no full auto m14 in the Vietnam war, all was locked on semi auto. Also, the last time the US army ordered m1911 was in 1945, so all m1911 in the Vietnam war was 20+ years old, been replaced with other pistols, also the m1917 was the prefered revolver of tunnel rats.

It’s best to have the gun on semi auto because it’s a powerhouse if you use it right. The M16 is garbage 🗑

[@rycanlase3639]

@@kyletroknya2419 the original is but the A1 fixed

[@theduke7539]

Gunsmith here, the forward assist didnt change the reliability of the M16 pattern weapons. The air force didnt even have a forward assist on theirs. The army wanted one, but you can probably count on 1 hand how many times people have effectively used one to fix a problem. Eugene Stoner even said that if your rifle doesn't go into battery from the force of the buffer spring alone, then forcing the bolt forward will not solve the problem. What made the biggest difference, on top of the new chrome lined barrels, was the powder change. The Army though that using the same type of powder as the M14 was acceptable when in reality, that wasnt the case. Most people dont know this, but there are dozens of types of gunpowder, and the kind used in the M14 was ideal for that platform, but caused the gas system in the M16 to be clogged, which meant no gas would push on the bolt, essentially making the gun single action as you would have to cycle it manually every time you fired. Hundreds of Americans lost their lives because someone in the Pentagon didnt bother doing research and just sent things out. Another flaw of the M16 wasnt even the rifle's fault. Someone in Washington thought the M16 was a self cleaning rifle. And while the M16 is relatively low maintenance, and firing the gun does expel a lot of junk from the previous round that was in the barrel, gunk does still accumulate in the gas port, around the bolt carrier group, and in the lower reciever, and long periods without cleaning leads to corrosion and eventually failure of the rifle entirely.

[@magdump4456]

Yes, the M16 was known as the gun that pukes on itself every time the trigger is pulled. And yes, you are also right about a pencil Pusher causing all the problems in the very beginning with the ammunition not having the correct powders. People that think a forward assist improve the reliability of the firearm, has obviously never owned an ar15 style platform. If one has to use the forward assist to get the rifle into battery,whatever the problem was to begin with, you just compounded it ten fold by forcing it into battery via the forward assist. The forward assist is basically useless

[@LUR1FAX]

Jim Sullivan himself has said the M16 was sabotaged. As for the forward assist: if something is preventing the bolt from going into battery, you're better off clearing whatever is blocking it than trying to jam the case into a likely blocked chamber.

[@LUR1FAX]

@algore lier The U.S. military almost never allows their troops to use the M16 on full auto. So you could take a batalion and arm them with semiautomatic AR-15 rifles and they'd be able to do almost anything they could do if they had select-fire M16 rifles. But that's not to say the AR-15 should be banned or restricted compared to other guns. I don't even think full auto should be more restricted than a bolt action rifle. And let me add that full auto does have applications. They're rare, but do occur. And you don't lose anything by having a select-fire trigger group.

[@a.c.2499]

The M16 was adopted by the US Army in 1964 to replace the M14, and then it gradually replaced the M14 among other branches. The original M16 was very unreliable and the M16A1 was introduced around 1967. The M16A1 was much more reliable and improved its reputation as a rifle. It used up until the early 80s where it was replaced by the M16A2.

[@redtra236]

XM16E1(Had forward assist) was introduced in 1967. M16A1 was introduced in 1969(Had chrome lined chamber and barrel plus bird cage flash hider).

[@a.c.2499]

Garrett - Negative. The XM16E1 was introduced around 65-66, and was like a prototype of the A1. The A1 was introduced in 67-68.

[@Alicaso]

Black Shinobi no, it really doesn't. It is if one of the most if not the most reliable weapons out there, the m16a4 never jams unless there's been factory issues, or something got inside of its system. If it sucked the US which is know for having the strongest army in the world wouldn't be using it from the 60s till today.

[@Alicaso]

Black Shinobi no, that's not true, well, about Vietnam it is, but nowdays, no its not. Theres a reason its been in use for fucking 50 years. But oh well, theres always an ignorant idiot like you in every argument about the m16. The ak 47 is completely irrelevant. No actual arny uses it. Its mainly in use withnin terrorists.

M1 Garands were used but in small numbers by then, mainly by MPs and Reserves. Also many M1 Garands were sent to ARVN. M1918 BARs and M1919A6s were sent to ARVN but also seen at the early part of the war in small numbers by the U.S. the XM177 pattern of rifles was also in use by Special forces, mainly MACV-SOG, but also could be found among normal ground troops. Sometimes old Mk2 frag grenades could be seen when in desperate need of Fragmentation grenades. M72 Rocket launchers were used, and M9A1 an M2 flamethrowers.

No.

[@Rosen545]

Very nice video, but where is the M72-LAW?

[@Grabbagar670]

Rosen06 It looks like all of the ones included in the video were stuff that was commonly carried on a patrol by a standard infantry squad. The LAW was not that common in Vietnam, especially on a patrol. In fact, the military recalled all of the LAWs in Vietnam because the warheads were exploding in flight and sometimes injured the operator. The ones that hit their targets would usually just bounce off without exploding.

Or the Ithaca model 37, but then again, they were used by Navy SEALs

[@statiqa]

Yeh where was the Ithaca

[@hector_2999]

XM-177?

[@fallout0624]

The LAW was semi comman used as a anti vehicle launcher and generally giveb one per squad still used today in specialized roles

[@vasotomovic667]

Cpt. John MacTavish Some missions were set in the Vietnam war. I liked to rush with the M60 and become Rambo version 2.0. I liked to pick the M60E4 in CoD 4 MW. Vietnam is quite forgotten in videogames.

[@Thetruerat.]

The m79 could be loaded with many different types of grenades including: Honeycomb shot (a grenade that explodes with hundreds of .22 caliber rounds) Steel breaker (basically makes the m79 a 40 mm rifle) And airburst (hits the floor and bounces three feet vertically and explodes)

M1 grand was one of the best rifles that we had since the world war 2 and they can always shoot bigger rounds and switch it to smaller rounds as well and they can always still rip thru anything

I like how he did a reference to Full Metal Jacket when The Marine Base at Da Nang got attacked by VC and Joker was shooting at them.

[@masoncarter2705]

The m16 has reliability issues because the powder specification was changed from the testing process and when it got issued because it was gas operated that became a big problem and it caused reliability issues it was not the guns fault in fact the gun actually held up more in a mud test then the AK47

[@kyletroknya2419]

[@THE_CRIMSON_FUCKXR]

FMJ references I found so far: the gate defence scene as the first clip describing the m60 the door gunner in the second clip of the m60 and animal mother going gung ho as the final clip

[@chickencoops2189]

1:38 that was from the movie "Full Metal Jacket" when the enemy attackes the base

[@commando7238]

Chicken coops no that was from the scene where the guy was gunning down random Vietnamese farmers

[@faygodreamin4752]

When he was talking about the machine gun there was a reference to full metal jacket

[@GunsNGames1]

The M16A1 is my favorite rifle, the triangular handguard is an awesome desing. I also love the M60 GPMG.

[@vultures7341]

But, every AK made from Russians, Check, Slovaks,and Yugoslavs is much much better the only thing That M16 (and other series) have better than AK is that they are lighter and thats it

[@vultures7341]

@Tranhoang Long 1. All researches that show m16 is better are made from Americans (or they're ally's),also can you list any of that research 2. Most of what you said is only on paper but in reality everybode uses and would rather use an AK than an m16 3. If M16 was "so good" like you claim then why did American soliders in Vietnam and sometimes in Korea throw their functional M16 that have plenty ammo and take AKs from the enemies? 4. Did you ever see a test where they use M70B (which is Yugoslav AK) or AK from Russia then torture it,put it in sand and then just clean the cillindar (imnot sure how it spelled) and it works perfectly fine? 5. AK has a bigger and stronger (7,62x39mm) bullet that's better than m16's weak 5.56x45mm bullet

[@GunsNGames1]

@@vultures7341 this is a big lie, and during the Korea War, the U.S. Army was using the extremely reliable M1 Garand and Thompsons, the M16 would not exist until 1969. Stop being an useful idiot used by commies.

[@Predator42ID]

@@GunsNGames1 Actually the M16 existed well before that as it was developed in the late 50s and issued to the Airforce. Also after testing, the M16 is believe it or not more reliable then the older Garand and M14. Also yes the 7.62*39 does have greater stopping power then the 556 which in order to equalize it required the use of new types of bullets when they change the barrel twist to 1/7, from 1/12. However it should be noted the Russians ditched the 7.62*39 in favor of the AK74 later AK12 which are chambered in 5.45mm rounds. AKs are quite accurate if you know what your doing however on rapid fire the climbing is to difficult to control.
