Most of us have often come across the word M16. What exactly is this? M16 officially a rifle in the military utilization is meant for AR-15 rifle. This is a lightweight 5.56mm, air cooled, gas operated, and magazine fed assault rifle with a rotating bolt. This rifle is constructed of steel, aluminum, composite plastics and polymer materials. The introductory versions of M16 were used by US Marine Corps and Army. This was the first M16 that was endorsed operationally. This version had triangular hand guards, three pronged flash suppressor and no forward assist. The bolt carriers that were used were also chrome plated and slick sided thus lacking forward assist notches. Later the chrome plates were replaced with parkerized carriers without making any changes in the center portion of the bolt carrier. The main problem with M16 was lack of forward assist. To overcome this XM16E1 was developed by US army.
This was almost similar to M16 with slight variations like forward assist and related notches in the bolt carrier. The production of this weapon was finalized in 1967 but an concern cropped up that highlighted the three pronged flash suppressor which got caught to twigs and leaves at the time of operation. Eventually this was replaced with a closed bird cage flash suppressor and several other changes were made. Cleaning kits along with barrels consisting of chrome plate chambers and completely lined bores were used. These above mentioned changes have reduced the malfunctions in the weapon.
A rib was also built on one side of the XM16E1 receiver to prevent accidental pressing of magazine release button while trying to close the ejection port cover. This rib was extended while producing M16A1 along with certain adjustments like the bolt cam pin and the hole it rides in the bolt were tapered to prevent the bolt for getting topsy-turvy thus failing to function. Even though the use of M16A1 is limited in US, it is still one of the standard weapons in use across the globe. The inefficiency of XM16E1 and M16A1 during war with Vietnam has forced the US Marine corps to look for new weapons. This has lead to the development of M16A2.
This is a more extensive weapon with new rifling, thick barrel and ability to withstand fire without getting over heated. An additional adjustable rear sight was added to this weapon enabling the rear sight to be dialed for specific range settings between 300 to 800 meters or make use of its ballistic characteristic that allows windage adjustments without the need of any tool or cartridge.
Slight modifications were also made in the flash suppressor, hand guard, pistol grip and butt-stock. All in all M16A2 along with its new and improved features added further weight and complexity to the M16 series of weapons. Despite initial criticism, this rifle was able to comply with NATO standards and at the same time replace the traditional Vietnam era of weapons.
