What is the purpose of the m?
Prior to 1967/68, the M16 was the US Army's "jungle rifle" and used specifically in South Vietnam. There was no qualification back then, the M14 was the standard US rifle. Prior to men shipping out for Vietnam up thru 1970, they "FAM Fired" (Familiarization firing) of the M16 jungle rifle. They QUALIFIED on the M14 service rifle. After Vietnam, the US Military (Army & Marines) adapted the M16 jungle rifle as the new standard SERVICE RIFLE in about 1970/73; replacing the M14 rifle. US Military personnel have to qualify on any "Standard" weapon that the military uses. It's part of their JOB to know how to safely use it. Qualification means exactly what it says; Qualified to use the weapon. It a person cannot qualify, then they cannot qualify to be in the military...because then, they are NOT qualified to do their job.
What civil war infantry do?
Infantry by its very nature fights on the ground against another infantry. A big game changer for the war was the repeater rifle that was sold to the military. Armies in this time were use to fighting in lines and shooting at each other point blank. When the guns were single shot this formation was a method that was not as deadly, but with the new rifle causalities were very high. Thousands died in hours because they kept the same battle formations. In the Battle of Cold Creek, according to one survivor, was over 6,000 bodies covering the battle field within 3 hours of battle. The ground couldn't be seen because so many bodies.
