The guy that answered before me was a moron so ill give u the real details. The M16A1 was invented in 1969 for the Vietnam War to replace the M14 rifle. Since then there have been the M16A2 M16A3 and the M16A4. The M16 is used in all of the United States military branches but is being phased out by the newer M4A1 which basically a shorter, lighter version of the M16. the M16 was invented by the weapons manufacturer Colt who bought the rights to the AR-15 rifle and militarized it for the U.S. government. The M1A2 was made in 1985. The M16A3 was made in 1994 and the 16A4 was also made in 1994.
