Full Metal Jacket

[TheMikewalking]

Continuity error. LOL the 60 gunner blazes away but his belt of ammo never moves... FWIW I've put 1000's of rounds through M16's from above the Arctic Circle in winter to Panama year round. Jamming was never a problem, One broken extractor in 10 years of service. The M16 was originally so oversold, so over hyped to the Military that they did not come with cleaning kits. That led to an unfair and bad rep. The maker said they would shoot for years without cleaning...

[ManicMike26]

i love at 0:36 they all stop firing and you can hear distant shots

[totallynoob96]

0:26 SAY CHEESE!!!!!

[supernovalogic]

Could the guy with the M60 possibly fire any longer? jeez lol

[GamingsecretsTV]

@supernovalogic Bigger belt and a water cooling tank like on the old Machine Guns, And Hell Yeah.

[supernovalogic]

@GamingsecretsTV I am not surprised about the staggering number of rounds per enemy kill in Vietnam after watching this.

[GamingsecretsTV]

@supernovalogic How much is that? lol

[supernovalogic]

@GamingsecretsTV I heard it was something like 200-250 thousand.

[thermonuclearwarfare]

"doc j and eightball are wasted!"

[cyberzaikoo]

wow the clip on the m16 is small

[Halkrath]

@cyberzaikoo They were 20 round clips during that time. The M16 almost got removed from Service, since the older M14was much more reliable, but could pack a bigger punch with the bigger caliber, and was pretty much just as accurate.

[beesnakeable]

@Halkrath MAGAZINE, NOT "CLIP", ASSHOLE.

[burnyourhonda]

0:31-Marine has an M16 with magazine loaded.

0:41-Same Marine has M16 without magazine in the weapon.

0:55-Same Marine has magazine BACK and currently loaded, and THEN begins to reload.

Continuity error. Just a small note I caught

[Nucleo85Torino]

@41 sec somebody forgot to tell that dude to load a Magazine into his rifle. It just stood out.

[DunkableDave]

@Nucleo85Torino hes about to put on a bayonet and charge into the field maybe.

[theCRAZYturkey]

0:20 thump'd

[6digit]

imagine if M16 is already in duty during world war 2 what it could be happened i think US will gonna win more!

[ninjaman00]

@6digit Not necessarily, the early problems with the M16 would have had a very bad impact for the allies in WWII. The early models of the M16 were very prone to jamming. Imagine, you're storming the beach at Normandy, and your gun jams. This probably would have happened to every soldier, making them all die, and if the beach landing was unsuccessful, the allies would have lost the war.

[dunecigar]

When I was in the Marines (20 years ago) the three round burst was rarely used since the M16 single fire was so responsive that it actually felt like full auto with a rapid continious pull of the trigger.

[125TVThird]

Animal be killin those japs

[5master11111]

the first models of M-16s (non-A-designated) were set to full auto, but because of excessive jamming, the rate-of-fire was set to semi and 3-round burst.

early M-16s were notorious for jamming in firefights, especially due to the high salt content of the Vietnam jungles. they were corrected for jamming problems, but never lost their reputation for excessive jamming

I don't see any M-4s (or XM177s as they were known by in the 1960s) in this video however

[jksfive]

i thought the m16 only had three round burst correct me if i am wong

[photoshoptunning]

same didnt they do this to make it more accrete in vietnam to have burst fire?

[XxMacexX04]

I believe soo... but I may be wrong too

[DemonGaaraV21]

@jksfive nope it could be shot in three or full auto

[coldandchaospro]

yes your right, but that was an M4

[DiscoGabe]

You've been playing way too much COD.

[killingamps]

It's to force all of the rounds to the back of the mag to decrease the chances of a jam.

[mcflyfail]

animal mother is a crazy mother fucker

[BigDumbJerk]

Crazy Earl was awesome too bad he got wasted

[Henkman1]

it's to remove sand and dirt out of it, before putting it in the gun, to decrease the chance of malfunctioning or jamming

[repelghosts]

Christ already lets paly the fing flick....jeez

[crt12]

This was filmed in East London XD it's a shopping centre now LMAO!

[yourass117]

HA!

[Schwachkopf2344]

0.43 the soldier have`nt got a magazine in his M 16, some szenes later he put the old magazine out the gun and change it with an full mag......Is this a error in the movie ? xDDDD

[airsoftgunner10]

no he stop shooting therefor eejecting his mag later on putting another mag in its not a error

but who knows and who cares?

[Schwachkopf2344]

a second bigreasen is to hear whether the magazine is full. IT could be just one round in it, and that i dont want to have when i stand in front of a enemy.... If the magazine knocked hardly on the helmet it is full, if it sound like a tin can the magazine is devoid. Sorry for english I`m German

[pplinrsisdumb]

@Schwachkopf2344 Naw, nice english. You're good at it.

[edwads74]

The soldiers tap their clips on their helmet or elsewhere to help orient the bullets. The bullets are under spring pressure, which is what helps feed them into the gun. So they do it just to be sure everything is in order,and avoid jams.

[Halkrath]

@edwads74 You're right, but not much ever helped that godamn M16. That thing would jam if ya looked at it wrong.

[beesnakeable]

@edwads74 it's a fucking MAGAZINE, not a "clip"...

[edwads74]

@beesnakeable

You understood me, asshole. now go shut the fuck up and troll some other video.

[beesnakeable]

@edwads74 learn the correct terminology, faggot.

[edwads74]

@beesnakeable

Correct term: beesnakeable=faggot troll , happy now bro?

[beesnakeable]

@edwads74 your mom=whore

[edwads74]

@beesnakeable On to the mom jokes now.... Beesnakeable, stop ruining this awesome full metal jacket video with your elitist clip vs magazine agenda and your mom jokes. You're a fucking pathetic troll. Go away, bro.

[Davesax1965]

@edwads74 Sorry, Edwads, wrong. You tap the magazine - not a clip - to see if it's still full. If you can hear bullets rattling, you haven't picked a half empty mag up.

[edwads74]

@Davesax1965 No one but military/law enforcement and gun freaks cares if people call it a clip. I know it's a magazine , big deal. I own several weapons that require a magazine, and I know for a fact the rounds are under spring pressure from the bottom. So a half empty mag would make the same sound as a full mag, sorry. Now, A completely empty mag, then yes, you are correct.. BTW it's not ''bullet'' , it's "round/ammo/ammunition" but people say both and it does not bother me at all.

[Davesax1965]

@edwads74  Evidently you've never been in the military, a clip is completely different, yes, the rounds are under spring pressure - tapping them doesn't orient the bullets at all. You ensure a magazine is correctly loaded by ensuring the rounds are pushed to the back of the magazine. And spring pressure doe not feed "bullets" - which you also said, as well as me - into the "gun" The bolt does.

[edwads74]

@Davesax1965 No, I've never been in the military. Nor do I care if people say clip or magazine. But I do know my guns. And I know how to load them, discharge them, clean them and handle them and all the gun safety rules. As for the original statement,I said it 'helps' , 'feed' the bullets into the gun, meaning, if the bullets jam in the magazine itself, the bolt is never going to 'feed' anything.So yes, the spring pressure is part of the feeding process.

[edwads74]

@Davesax1965 2nd Point. You said "you ensure a magazine is correctly loaded by ensuring the rounds are pushed to the..." . Yes , I KNOW THAT, when you're casually target shooting in a friendly environment, You can totally look at your magazine in a calm manner. But In war, a soldier,under fire, does not have time to be looking at the magazine , because his field of view has to be focused on the battlefield, hence why they do a quick 'adjustment' on their helmet, as evident in this video.

[Davesax1965]

@edwads74 Exactly, Edwads. No time to check. Therefore you tap the mag - not clip - against your helmet to see if it's full. Cartridges don't tend to move around in a magazine and tapping them doesn't orient them. Looking at your magazine would give you no indication if all the rounds were aligned, either.

Actually, never done in the UK miltary: it's probably just a "US war fim" thing.

[slipknoter92]

I know it's the viet war, but I'll give you an example..in WW2, some soldiers wrote the number "13" on their helmets , not a real good luck thing, but, you're right...;)

[josheylepa]

what about kilroy :D

[brandonlamchops]

that was the coolest part of the movie

[TheOriginalSteviie]

this was actually filmed by the A127 no lie.

[shore2222]

Animal Mother went to my high school. Of course he graduated in 1980 about twenty four years before I was a freshman there. Still cool though.

[Ultima770]

:43 where is his magazine?

:57 he has a clip and his right handed, but if you were to watch on, he seitches hands....it may not be a big thing I'm not critisizeing It is one hell of a movie...well "Bird's the word".

[bigk66]

swiss cheese building lol

[XC0688]

observe... the lead man with the M16 has a clip then theres teh break in the fighting... and then he has no clip.. and then.. he has a clip

[sarzamineiran]

ya, he was reloading his gun while there was a break....

[beesnakeable]

@XC0688 MAGAZINE, not "clip"

[rcollyer123]

ummm i think there dead

[usnavysss]

man i love the gunner

[360Rodo]

i think your talking about animal mother , the heavy machine gunner

[silkyoli2]

bit random but quite gd
