Nate not wrong but when you said something like that it usually from the start to the bottom which is Vietnam to middle East right now
Fun Fact: “AR” stands for “ARmalite” (or “Augmented Reality”), not “Assault Rifle”.
Also, bullets leaving the barrel don’t look like that...
Yes it angers me
seems a bit nitpicky, not gonna lie. Doesn’t really seem to matter in the context of the video. They got the point across nonetheless.
What?
@@dylanhitchcock6574 it does matter in the context of the government trying to define what a battle rifle is. The term assault rifle came from the nazis to strike fear into the enemy however theres nothing to really classify what an assault rifle is.
JAJAvsWORLD I’m more talking about the way they depicted the bullets coming out of the gun. Doesn’t really matter much.
I remember shooting my M4 in basic over and over again. It taught me to trust my rifle, you be surprised how reliable it is, the only times it has jammed was due to collective amounts of wet sand getting stuffed up in the chamber due to hours of training day after day in the field, and even yet is fairly easy to clean , usually the problem lies at the star chamber (rip for double feeding rounds). Even as reliable as the M4 is I wish it were a bit more debri resistant, after getting into prone position multiple times and low crawling the M4 jams frequently due to the harsh sand getting stuffed up in it slowly.
3:19 no one holds/aims a gun like that. Sitting on the shoulder like it’s a panzerschreck
THROUGH the shoulder
Did you see the one where the soldier was shooting the m16 and he was holding the stock like it was an m14?

M16 is stamped? AR-15 is fully automatic? Casings flying out the barrel?
Tons of misinformation.
I believe he was talking about the ar18, which was shipped out to poor countries that couldn’t make the m16
Early AR-15 was full-automatic.
The m16 is just the military designated name for the ar15 therefore early ar15s made for the military are full auto
civilian ar15 is semi auto but military ar15 is full auto that’s what my friend told me who is a expert on guns
cool luke, most modern AR15’s can be “easily” converted to full auto(*easily as in they still have most of the parts still on the rifle to make the conversion but making the full auto sear requires machines to mill it)
Colt: For the M16 to work properly, use this clean burning gunpowder.
U.S: Naa we got a surplus of M1 Garand gunpowder.
It was less an issue of having a surplus and more an issue of the military producing its own Ball propellant at the Picatinny Arsenal. The DuPont powder was manufactured by a private entity, which created a logistical and financial problem that didn't exist when the military could make its own powder in-house. Unfortunately they didn't bother testing Ball powder in the .223 as thoroughly as they should, or they would've realized that the calcium carbonate in Ball would lead to fouling and corrosion.
I'm willing to forgive them for the gunpowder fiasco, but there's no excuse for the military issuing them with no cleaning kits and telling the troops they were "self-cleaning" in order to hide the fact they were short on .22 cleaning kits. Nor is there any good reason they tried to save a few cents by not chroming the barrels.
2:51 thats not how guns work my friends.

technically the bolt has to action for a new round to be fired so technically every gun is bolt action

After doing 13 years in the Army, I found the M-16A1 & A2 models very reliable. I started off with the A1 in 1985 when I went to basic training, OSUT, MOS 19D10. The A1 never gave me problems while on field problems. I first got the A2 at my second duty station in Korea (ROK). We were moved up to relieve the infantry for a couple of days so they could get some rest. We had to qualify with the A2 before we went on patrol, I was very impressed with the new round for the A2 over that for the A1, a little bit more kick but very accurate.
I fired the M 16 A2 while I was in from 2000 -2005 it really was a great rifle accurate up to 500 meters on open sites and as long as you maintained it it would never jam. And I find it funny people that say the 7.62 is a harder hitting caliber than the 5.56 any video you see on the 2 rounds hitting ballistec gel shows that the 5.56 causes much more internal damage with its velocity
“Jam” 🤔 That’s not a word that’s commonly used by people who are proficient with firearms.
7.62 will cut a tree down, 5.56 won't even go through it. there's no comparison
@jgunther3398
If a bullet explodes inside you

Did they just say m2 carbines for long ranges?! That’s not exactly what carbines are made for 🤣.
Well... it was a carbine compared to the m1 garand... 20cm shorter I think?
Mark Tan that’s my point, they weren’t designed for range, so their statement doesn’t make sense.
It can fire in semi auto which means the recoil is controllable enough at longer than normal ranges

This is wrong. The army got M16s not the AR-15s. The AR-15 is a civilian based weapon of the M16 that and has never been used in the any military combat. Not the same thing
MR.dmz Yes, they are the same things. Armalite made the ar10, then the scaled down ar15. Colt then bought the rights to the ar15 on 1959, made some changes, called it the car-15 (Colt ar-15) and submitted it to the military, which adopted it in 1964, and upon accepting it, they designated it the m16 assault rifle. Same exact gun, different name.
Ar15 is the platform
Actually, the AR-15 was made first. Then when it passed the tests, it became known as the M16. You're still correct about it never seeing war though.
Some were adopted as ar-15s the designated service rifle was the M16, then the civilian model was called the ar-15 then the made it a carbine which is the m4, there you go
yeah and they only talked about the m16a1 even though they upgraded it and made new models like the a2,a3 and whats used today the m16a4

Its a tactic in indoor shooting and clearing rooms because over extending your rifle can be detrimental. But hes outside
I like how the round appears to still be in the casing at 2:51.
That’s not how physics
Lol the entire cartridge being shot instead of the bullet
From a soldier who uses the m16 regularly, if cleaned properly it's very reliable.
I think every gun will be reliable as long as you treated them with love
@kirill genich mine was terrible! Constantly jammed and I took it to the armorer several times. He took it to the range along with a battlefield pick up Chinese AK. He said "see if you can hit anything with this". Fired every time, so I asked if I could be issued the AK 😂😂 Apparently, that was the wrong thing to ask. The M16A1's I were issued must have been Vietnam war rejects.
kirill genich I never cleaned mine and it was still reliable.
Yes because a soldier has a pro like that.
3:09 ummm.... any person who has even the slightest knowledge of guns, knows how wrong this is...
what anyone?
@@wild1246
1. The projectile does not come with the casing
2. That is not a .22 LR cartridge. From the looks of it, I think it's a .45 ACP cartridge
Hollow points don't shatter like glass when it enters the body. Especially not like that
I was so confused
The main problem is bullet travel with the casing
It’s a visual thing :P

And not to mention that most pictures of the M16 in this video are basically M4s or CAR-15s that came later on.
6:26 A few mistakes:
M14 rifles are NOT bolt action
A much more common misconception (tho not shown in vid, more in games) M14 rifles are only Semi automatic

To any non gun people here, The AR-15 of today which is mostly seen in civilian hands isn't select fire like what the military has. also, it's not an Assault Rifle under military terms.
NoDice right for assault rifles NEED to have a select fire switch that allows semi auto,full auto and sometimes 3 round burst modes. Civilians can only have semi auto only rifles unless they have proper FFL paperwork and $20K.

@@smokestack3327 I thought I made that clear with my comment about the AR-15 not being an assault rifle under military terms.
@@elvinchateauvert It's the term for a rifle that is select fire and chambered in an intermediate cartridge. The AR-15 only meets the "intermediate cartridge" criteria of that definition.

“As lethally accurate as the m2 carbine” oh infographics how I love you, brought to you by people who have never shot guns
This reminds me of a show i once saw with some armchair general types. They were Brits who never owned any guns and had never been in the military so had likely never fired a gun. I watched a TH-cam channel for a couple of videos once and gave up since the creator was Japanese, had never been in the military, and had never even seen a gun fired IRL but was making reviews/comparisons like this.

My daily-carry M-16 back in the 80s was a first gen 3-prong with no forward assist. It had all new internals. It worked extremely well. I never had a misfire at the range.
Did it have a chromed bolt and chamber? If so you had a USAF M-16. The model that caused the problems with jamming was the XM-16E1 made without the chrome chamber, etc. SECDEF McNamara wanted a less expensive model thus the XM-16E1 with the 3-prong flash supressor and added forward assist.
The very first weapon I ever fired was my late father's AR-15, which was patterned after the M16A2 minus the 3-round burst mode. He not only taught me how to shoot it, but how to clean and maintain it as well. I got to where I could hit within an inch of a dead-center bulls-eye at 100 yards on an outdoor range.
"Accurate at long ranges like the M2 carbine" because the M2 and M1 carbines were made to be precision long range weapons and not a replacement for the 1911 for some troops.

No, they spread so much misinformation, like calling an AR an assault rifle and bolt action.
According to Forgotten Weapons the forward assist didn’t actually have anything to do with its reliability or perceived reliability. He said the Army leadership wanted it because the M1 and M14 both had something for the soldier to push on, and it might be comforting for them to have.
That’s supported by what I found on Wikipedia and some other sources.

These are the few that I caught. Most of these are from the animation.
@@limpchimp06 The animation is definitely inaccurate, but the points made aren't necessarily wrong.
@@limpchimp06 To be fair I find it as minor errors, the focus was most of the history
The AR-15 was never put in service
@Harry Peterson okay thank you for the info
SCP foundation
lol
The ar 15 I’m pretty sure is a gun style
Yea I think he ment the m15 not. Ar15
Strider 1: Trigger yeah and those are not the military
AR stands for Always Rock-n-roll. XD
I feel like many veterans here would probably remember holding an M16 with the old-school "triangle" shaped handguard. These were most common back in the Vietnam War.
*I come to think about “Siphon Filter”, every time I see M16*
⁉️

True I'm 10 but know my facts...
I loved my M-16A2 I had in basic/ait but I loved my M4 I had in Iraq more
How was the weather there?
@@prophetcitrus9638 I have a feeling it was hot and dry
Sapper 101 so a marine I’m guessing.
@John doue Quebec it fires 5.56x45 but this is a 22 caliber bullet. So its not completely false.
6:43 Did he just attach a bayonet to a grenade launcher?
Yeah he did, duct tape or velcro should keep it from falling off.
3:20 i like how the stock is going through his shoulder
0:18 *soviet soldier chooses M16 over Kalashnikov*
TO GULAG YOU GO!
SlitBird that may actually be a Vietcong soldier, since the red army doesn’t put a red star on their helmets the “ssh 40 and ssh 69 or 68
M16a1 first full automatic weapon Iv fired. But I have more experience with m14 and the m4
QUESTION: I’ve been converting Sterling SMGs into working E-11s (yes, it can actually fire blaster bolts). So what should be the designation of the modified M16?
I was issued two m4s during my service. My first one jammed a lot and had chronic extraction issues even after replacing parts. My second one never jammed on me once and I shot that one far far more than my first one. I was reliably able to hit out to 900m with it as well
