The M-16 - the most powerfuI assauIt rifle ever used in combat. The M-16 couId easiIy be calIed America's most unIoved gun. lt was Vietnam's gun, a symboI of a war that bitterly divided the country, a war we uItimately Iost. Yet in the thirty years since it was first introduced, the M-16 has become a potent icon of U.S. military strength worldwide. The M-16 is the first - and only - military rifle developed by an outside designer in the two hundred year history of the Armory system and Army Ordnance didn't want it. AmazingIy, this most efficient product of American genius aImost ended up on the scrap heap. This program wiII foIIow the evolution of the M-16, a compIex and controversial saga of out-dated battle strategies, political infighting, and welI-meaning, but disastrous, improvements. |
