U.S Army video - M16 operation and cycle.

Thought some might appreciate this, the cut-away's really help with understanding the function of each mechanism.

Enjoy

(by the way this video is really old, so the sound and video quality is obviously not going to be great)

Interesting old video. Thanks for sharing it with us. The narrators voice reminded me of the educational movies we had to watch in school.

Great vid, nice bit of history. Was still designated "x" when this was made. Only way to make a man that glum when firing full auto with free ammo is to put him in the army.
