I carried and used the M-16 for 13 months, while with the 1st of the 7th Cav in Nam in 65-66. We were a "spearhead" batallion so we were always in contact. I can't begin to tell you how many rounds went through that rifle. It was constantly in use and I always carried 2000 rounds on me.

I never had it jam on me, even in the dust, dirt and mud I was constantly in. To "clean" it, I just opened the bolt, held it under water and swished it around for a moment and then fired off a round to 'clean' it. Always worked for me.

It didn't 'rattle' when I walked, as I head the AKs do (when they walked into our ambushes).

Life on the line? I'll take an M-16 ANYfuckingTIME! Most of you have just used them for 'plinking' and use has been, at best, random. Try using one all day, all night, every day, and see what you walk away with. Oh, and it's not a fair test if your target isn't constantly shooting back at you.

"We Were Soldiers" isn't a movie to me. It's a memory!
