America's first and only rifle developed specifically for jungle warfare in Vietnam.
Then, unfortunately, the "jungle rifle" was adapted as the STANDARD US RIFLE world wide after the Vietnam War period; replacing the M14 US Rifle.
Using the word "unfortunately" means, the M16 was intended for jungle warfare (spraying and praying-spitting out lead at an extremely high rate of fire); and not for long range conventional open field warfare. It's bullet is too small, and the rifle itself was not designed for long range accurate fire...as was the M14, M1, Springfield '03, etc. before it.
Rule number 1: Use the "right tool" for the "right job." Jungle rifles are for jungle warfare!
Chambered in 5.56mm
