==Trivia==
*The M-16 was first introduced by the Vietnam War to replace many of the heavy rifles such as the M1 Garand and M14. It fought against the Soviet AK-47, but unlike the AK, the M-16 had problems with jamming. This caused many soldiers issued the weapon to lose their lives.
*Originally, the M-16 was issued 20 round magazines, however they were later replaced by the curved 30 round magazine.
*The M-16, like the Colt M1911A1 was the first weapon chambered in it's ammunition, which in the M-16's case was the 5.56×45mm NATO.
