@randy109 i never liked the m-16. but it's not the weapons fault. it was congress. we were denied the right to do our job. to kill the enemy and take the north from the NVA and secure it from the oppisisition. evry firearm has a flaw. but do not blame it for our failures to win a war. you are completely right randy109. if only people would understand this cold hard fact.

3:35 All massed produced weapons are designed for righties but once again; there is a lefty knockin' it out. Just like all the Hollywood movie Army snipers (Kelly's Heroes, Saving PVT Ryan).

@jakkree2029 define a "long time" it takes literally 1-2 seconds to drain the chamber and gas tube. It can be done by tilting barrel at ground as it comes out of the water which is the safe thing to do with any firearm.

@kuvceebxab1 the m16 will fire completely submerged in water (full auto will slow down the BC in any rifle causing short strokes but single shot its fine) the pressures are =. It's when you pull it out of water and not drain the gas tube for 2 Mississippis that is the problem. I recommend draining any weapons chamber & gas system before firing. Let me guess you watched the HK test put on by HK lol you sheep. You know nothing on how these weapons function.

[amer1cancer2753]
