In 1964, the M16 entered [[US military]] service and in the following year was deployed for jungle warfare operations during the [[Vietnam War]]. In 1969, the M16A1 replaced the [[M14]] rifle to become the US military's standard service rifle. The M16A1 incorporated numerous modifications including a bolt-assist, chrome-plated bore, protective reinforcement around the magazine release, and revised flash hider.<br>

The M16, lighter than the M14, faced reliability issues in Vietnam due to inadequate maintenance instructions and cleaning kits, and an incorrect powder switch. These problems were addressed with the M16A1's introduction, which included a chrome-plated chamber and better maintenance protocols.

HISTORY

In 1928, the U.S. Army recommended transitioning to smaller caliber rounds, like the .27 in (6.86 mm) caliber, but tradition kept the .30 in (7.62 mm) caliber in use. Post-WWII, the military sought a new automatic rifle, leading to the M14's development, which was found to be uncontrollable in full-auto and outclassed by the AK-47 in Vietnam. This prompted a reevaluation of a lighter, intermediate caliber rifle, leading to the AR-15's development, which fired the .223 inch (5.56 mm) round. Despite initial Army resistance, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara halted M14 production in favor of the AR-15, later standardized as the M16.

The M16, lighter than the M14, faced reliability issues in Vietnam due to inadequate maintenance instructions and cleaning kits, and an incorrect powder switch. These problems were addressed with the M16A1's introduction, which included a chrome-plated chamber and better maintenance protocols. The M16 eventually gained acceptance and became the longest-serving rifle in U.S. military history, setting a standard for assault rifles worldwide.
