The Armalite M-16 originated in the late 1950s when the Armalite Corporation, led by Eugene Stoner, developed a lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated rifle. Initially designed for military use, the M-16 was adopted by the U.S. Army in the early 1960s during the Vietnam War, replacing the M14 rifle. Its design emphasized accuracy and ease of use, and it became known for its distinctive 5.56 NATO caliber ammunition. The M-16 has since undergone numerous modifications and remains a significant firearm in military history.
