	Messier Object 16
		Open star cluster M16 has formed from this great gaseous and dusty cloud, the diffuse Eagle Nebula IC 4703, which is now caused to shine by emission light, excited by the high-energy radiation of its massive hot, young stars.
		A deeper insight in the star formation process could be obtained from the HST images of M16, published in November 1995; moreover, they were used for an animation simulating the approach to this star forming region, and we provide some screen sized images (suitable as backgrounds for your computer screen).
		M16 is found rather easily, either by locating the star Gamma Scuti, a white giant star of magnitude 4.70 and spectral type A2 III, e.g.

	M16 rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The M16 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm caliber, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed rifle, with a rotating bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation.
		Replacement of the M16 family has been proposed at various points, and its longevity is in part due to a series of delays and failures in projects meant to replace it.
		The M16 utilizes direct impingement gas operation; energy from high-pressure gas tapped from a port built into the front sight assembly actuates the moving parts in the weapon.

	Modern Firearms - AR-15 M16 M16A1 M16A2 M16A3 assault rifle
		This pitifully combined with the fact that the initial M16 rifles were promoted by the Colt as "low maintenance", so, for the sake of economy, no cleaning supplies were procured for new M16 rifles, and no weapon care training was conducted fro the troops.
		M16 rifles are used by many foreign military groups, most notably the British SAS, who preferred the M16 over the infamous L85A1 rifle, and by many others.
		M16 is usually equipped with sling, and can accept a knife - bayonet, either an old style M7, or a newer style M9.

	M16 - Eagle Nebula - Serpens
		M16 (NGC 6611), the Eagle Nebula is both an open star cluster and a large bright area of emission nebulosity.
		Within M16 are several complex star forming regions, the most noteworthy of which is variously referred to as the "Star Queen and her Throne" or the "Towering Pillars" (made famous by the HST image).
		M16 is about 7,000 light years distant and was probably first observed by the Swiss astronomer P.L. de Cheseaux in 1746.

		Though carbine versions of the M16 had been used all along (as the XM177 as well as the CAR-15), demand for these was limited to select groups.

	M16 & AR15 Accessory Tactical Grips
		The AR15 / M16 is actually the product of a scaled-down redesign of another Armalite rifle, the AR-10, a rifle designed during the mid-1950s to fire the full-power 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge.
		The M16 was redesigned once again to maximize reliability for the new NATO cartridge (US M855), along with some improvements to the rifle, namely a heavier barrel, a new flash suppressor/compensator, and a new dual-aperture adjustable rear sight that represents a vast improvement over previous versions.
		The M16 rifle is supported by a vast industry providing aftermarket parts, optics, and other accessories.

		The M16 is all about modernism: in it’s time, it looked more like something out of those old science-fiction movies than it did the next tip of the spear of the United States Military.
		The M16 was advertised as being a self-cleaning weapon, thus no cleaning kits were issued.
		The one drawback of the M16 VN in this area is the fact that it has a non-removable carry handle (no fault of Marui’s, of course).

	TECH: The M16 Rail Platform
		Changing the upper receiver group on the M16 is as valid today as it has always been, and the practice is in wide use throughout the world.
		My main point in refuting the possibility of quickly changing the barrel of the M16 was that the configuration of the M16's aluminum upper receiver and gas tube arrangement simply didn't lend itself to a quick-change system, but I was thinking inside the box.
		Forward of the barrel extension is a rigid positioner that holds the gas tube in line with its portal in the upper receiver, during installation.

		Thus there was clear evidence of military utility in the M16 rifle, resulting in an increased degree of military advantage accruing to its user.
		At 10 meters, penetration by the M16 round is poor due to the tremendous stress placed on this high-speed round, which causes it to yaw upon striking a target.

	M16 A4 Service Rifles
		This means that now both the M16 A2, which has been used by service rifle shooters for many years, and the M16 A4, the so-called “flat-top” version with a removable carry handle, or commercial equivalents of those two service rifles, are now legal for use in CMP EIC (leg) or National Trophy Matches.
		The decision to add the M16 A4 to the list of legal service rifles was made because this version is now used in Army basic training and is being issued to many military units including units in Iraq.
		It is recognized that the elevation screw shaft in the M16 A4 removable carry handle must be shorter.

	Austin Bay Blog » M16/M4 versus AKs
		The M16 in any form is the least reliable weapon I’ve ever seen, and during Desert Storm we had to keep them taped up in garbage bags to ensure they would fire when needed, and they often wouldn’t anyway.
		The simple fact is that the M16 is the most unreliable weapon our soldiers have ever been saddled with, and has probably caused a lot of deaths due to malfunctions in battle, whereas the AK just goes bang every time you pull the trigger, which is what it’s supposed to do.
		The M16 is more similar in respect to actual design, with the recoil spring in the buttstock, two part receiver, and the M16 even copied the ejection port cover.

	Reliability of the M16 during the design phase: Murdoc Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The residue also caused spent casings to become stuck in the chamber and the rifle suffered a rim shear extraction failure, where the bolt's extractor tore off a portion of the end of the spent casing, leaving the rest of the case stuck in the chamber.
		origanaly, the 55 grain bullet the m16 was meant to use would fragment into two pieces along the chanulure, in effect producing double the wound path, however the 55 grain hyper velocity bullets were unstable and therefor inaacurate in flight, so the army procured the current 77 grain bullet, increasing accuracy but reducing leathality.
		The m16 was a revolutionary new rifle firing a smaller 5.56*45mm round that was based on a higher probability of hit traded for less stopping power and range.

		Many M16 (and variants) shooters would pay just about any amount of money to be able to significantly slow the cyclic rate of their Guns.
		Colt produced some hydraulic buffers, and they do slow the cyclic rate somewhat but they have a reputation for developing leaks, and the reduction was not as dramatic as desired.
		I was not able to verify that claim as my M16 was already about as controllable as shoulder fired.223 Full Auto gets even at the standard cyclic rate.

	M16A2 5.56mm Semiautomatic Rifle
		General dissatisfaction with the M14 and numerous studies led the Army to the development of a light weight weapon capable of firing a burst of small caliber bullets with a controlled dispersion pattern.
		Although opposed by the Ordnance Corp, the Armalite AR-15 was adopted by the Secretary of Defense as the 5.56mm M16 rifle.
		The M16 was to have had the same effective range as the M14 rifle it replaced, but it was most effective at a range of 215 yards (200m) or less.
