Sorry it was an M16. Been awhile and there are so many brands and abbreviations for guns, only an ammosexual could keep up with them!  I'm not into guns anymore except for my trusty Llama 45 that holds an extra round over the Colt……. so my boo….sorry.  

I  was a federal boarding officer in foreign fisheries and drug interdiction in Alaska for a number of years. I was trained by the Army over a month of shooting and became proficient not only with the M16 but also .45 and a shotgun. Had Shoot Don't Shoot training along with 100's of  boardings on the high seas carrying weapons for my government, the US of A.  Every few month we went out to the range and blinked. I left my guns behind when I was discharged. It was a long time ago, when the US was more peaceful and less armed.
