Did mattel make the m-16 for the military?

Any time a revolutionary design comes along, there will be old-school people who will poke fun at, or criticize the newfangled gadget.

When the M16/AR15 came out, it used composite materials (plastics, fiberglass, carbon fiber) for the stock & handguard instead of the traditional wood & metals. A running joke in the military was that these plastic pieces were manufactured by toy companies.

To be sure, some plastics are NOT suitable for use in firearms, but there are some specialized polymers (advanced plastics) that are lighter and stronger than steel. It is these types of polymers that are used for firearms, not the cheap toy plastics.

Other modern firearms are using more and more composite materials. The Glock series of pistols was criticized for being a "plastic pistol" that would pass through metal detectors. Of course, parts like the barrel are still made of steel, and will set off metal detectors.

The more these composites are used, the more feedback the manufacturers get. They then make improvements. It may not be too far in the future when a composite barrel will be made, and much stronger than a steel barrel.

Are barbies hair made of human hair?

The "hair" used for "barbie" and other dolls of similar kinds, i.e. Bratz, my little pony, other dolls with brush-able hair, knock off brands etc. is a synthetic fiber. Usually a low grade of toykankalon or kanekalon. The main difference between these two types of synthetic fiber is that one is heat sensitive while one is heat resistant. Human hair is far too expensive for the global yearly mass production of dolls and toys. Human hair is also unhygienic and far too delicate for an application such as this. Some very exclusive dolls made before the mass production of dolls such as "barbie" had human hair, however those dolls were cherished art forms not extrusion plastic and intended for today's consumer "throw-away" culture.
