M16 rifle - Overview. In the 1980s, many soldiers who had been equipped with M16A1s were given a M249 (in addition to the M60s it replaced). In the 1990s, the adoption of the M4 Carbine meant many more M16A2s would be replaced by it. The Air Force currently plans to replace all its M16s with M4s according to a 2004 presentation. The M16A2 still remains the main U.S. service rifle in the Army, though in the 2000s the Marine Corps moved to M16A4 rifles. Also the M16 never entirely replaced the M14 in all roles, which continues to be used in a number o ...

M16 rifle - Colt Model's 601 and 602. Colt's first two models produced after the acquisition of the rifle from Armalite were the 601 and 602, and these rifles were in many ways clones of the original Armalite rifle (in fact, these rifles were often found stamped Colt Armalite AR-15). The 601 and 602 are easily identified by their "slab-sideed" lower receivers without the commonly found "fencing" around the magazine well, and in certain cases their green or brown furniture. The 601 was adopted first of any of the ...

The M16 is made of aluminum alloy and plastics, except for the steel barrel and parts of the action. Early models were especially lightweight at 3.2 kg (7.5 lb), about 30% less than older 7.62 mm "battle rifles" of the 1950s and 1960s. It also compares very favourably with the 5 kg (loaded) AK47. New models weigh more (8.5 lb or 3.9 kg) because of the "heavy" barrel used to increase accuracy. The rifle is 40 inches (1.02 m) long with standard 20 inch (508 mm) barrel. Stoner experimented with titanium barrels for even greater weight savings, but failed to ach ...
