The "M" for all US Military equipment stands for "Military Model." The army could've done what the US Navy did and say MM; as the navy does for it's warships: DD=Destroyer, BB=Battleships, etc. But since the civilians weren't "copying" the military so much in the old days, they decided one "M" was practical enough. If the civilians had gotten out of hand and began copying the military's designation, then the army may have had to resort to "MM", such as the MM16. But they didn't, so just one letter will suffice.
