What is the cycling system in an M-16?
The M16 uses a short stroke, gas operated, direct impingement system of operation, and is magazine fed. The system feeds (from the magazine), chambers the cartridge, then the hammer strikes the firing pin, which strikes the primer, firing the cartridge. Gas released during firing cycles back into the action through a gas tube, and this gas pressure pushes back on the bolt carrier, extracting the cartridge, ejecting the cartridge, then starting the cycle again by feeding another cartridge from the magazine.
