[MasterTaters]

why is the sound so incredibly out of sync

[LearnToTurn7]

they forgot to mention jamming in the cycle of functioning part

[Grunt922]

@LearnToTurn7 it doesnt jam if you take care of it and lubricate it.

In Philippines many soldiers died because of this rifle

The real reason for most of the jamming was because of the army switching to ball powder instead of stick powder right before they were shipped to vietnam so it wasnt as unreliable as it was told, but it still wasnt reliable. Then they put chrome in the barrel in the m16a2 to help with the powder sticking in the barrel.

This is a plastic magic budget rifle...good for photos, only.

It's funny that all the comments on this video are about the M16's Extreme unreliability early on.

But it's completely understandable.

This fine weapon, was designed to allow a riflemen to carry as much ammunition as possible, to allow for higher mobility, to enhance accuracy and to make the infantryman cherish his m14 and hold onto it as long as possible!

They should add: The gun must be lightweight and need to jam everytime! To unjam it, throw it to ground and take an AK-47!

[metalrod23]

They should have included ''Be sure to carry an extra weapon with you because this rifle will jam in combat''.
