How does an m16 look like?

for starters, it is essentially a black rifle with a dark greyish body and black plastic furniture. at its front end you should see a triangular protrusion, and that is called the front sight. behind the front sight you will find the handguard, which is typically ribbed for A2 models.Typically, when you look at the body, you will see one prominent feature, which is the carry handle. the carry handle holds the rear sight.Directly below it is the charging handle, which you use to feed or extract a round into or out of the weapon.At the back of the rifle is where the buttstock is, yet another triangular slab of plastic reinforced with metal. Inside it is the buffer tube. It also has an opening for the storage of a proprietary cleaning kit.Overall the M16's appearance is rugged, slim, and favors different types of shooters. For reference, see films: Full metal jacket, black hawk down.

The lower is composed of the stock (inside it is the buffer spring), pistol grip, fire selector, magazine well.

To keep moisture out of the bore of an M16 in inclement weather, you can use a plastic bag or cover the muzzle with a waterproof material.
