This is how the M16 Assault Rifle works. These are many videos put together and are meant to be educational. You can use it in any projects or anything you want to use it for if it is school related. YES THE ANIMATION IS AN M4. THEY ARE SO SIMILAR IT DOESNT MATTER THAT MUCH. THE M4 IS VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE M16-A3.

  • when a bullet hits flesh it does not explode it can even go through a little deformed but the exit wound is way bigger then the entry wound because of the shockwave the bullet creates because it flys supersonic speed

  • @Lorbertful actually, the .223 is one of the only rounds that actually tumbles as it impacts the body. the reason is explained in the video. it has been proven time and time again that it does in fact tumble. typical bullets do not. hollow points create similiar exit wounds because they expand and double or triple their surface area. please educate yourself before acting like you know everything.

  • TOO ALL WHO POST ABOUT CUTAWAY ANIMATION:

    the animation was meant to show how an assault rifle in general works. this is not specifically an M16. This video was meant to explain basic ballistics mechanics and then go further into the .223 ballistic mechanics specifically. CHILL.

  • Good cutaway graphic, but it does depict a semi-auto AR, not an M-16 as the video title might suggest. Look at the hammer (no catch on the back of it), disconnector, selector and the lack of an auto-sear catching then releasing the hammer.

  • the propellent does not explode, it burns, and as a reaction to the burning, gases are realeased, creating pressure, and the gas looks for the easiest way out and pushes the bullet out of the way so it can excape. if it exploded, it would just be a pipe bomb. also, fun fact this rifle being used in the second part is the austrian kar98k and before i get stupid comments, as we all know hitler is austrian. he brought his rifle to germany and they adopted it as the new service rifle

see all
