    The United States army first utilized M16 in the battle in Vietnam while the Vietcong had AK-47 guns. When the M16 was released by the United States army had also been the period when they had began to take part in the Southeast Asia fight. Eugene Stoner designed the weapon while the Colt firearms company developed it. It employed the state-of-the-art plastics and metals during that time. Engineers and manufacturers were satisfied by the weapon however the soldiers were doubtful of its capabilities. The soldiers assumed that the weapon will not perform the job. They didn't prefer its small 5.56 mm cartridge since it appeared inadequate to produce any injury. The military carried out researches in order to convince the infantrymen that there was a benefit in utilizing such firearm. Though M16 was a more compact weapon and used compact bullets, it could create an equivalent degree of damage as a weapon that used weighty bullets for the reason that small-scale bullets move more rapidly.

    To aggravate the situation, the very first M16s that were shipped to Vietnam didn't include adequate instructions and clean-up packages. A number of soldiers did not learn the need for keeping the gun clean right up until it was already very late. The design of the firearm was adjusted to make sure that the guns would not jam easily. Maintaining the firearm on a regular basis was also advised to the soldiers. The infantrymen consequently believed in the capabilities of the firearm.

    The M16 continues to be employed by the new generation of troops today. 30 years went by but there's still no M16 firearm replacement produced. To be able to replace the M16, the United States army researchers will have to carry out an extremely time consuming research as well as invest serious money. The present weapons are likewise in its state of perfection so it is extremely hard to substantially improve it.

    One could possibly declare a different scenario for the guns of the years to come. There are firearms innovation that employs laser lights and thermal scopes to generate more strikes. Nonetheless, concerning assault rifle, the currently tested prototypes are no longer as revolutionary as the guns they are intended to replace. Since the first long arms became available six centuries back, developers haven't ceased their pursuit of a far better weapon. In the process, there were inventions that seemed perfect but then technology is always advancing so they were replaced. With every new capability there are also new implications. It would appear that advancement never stops and it must not be disregarded too because looking at the past, being reluctant to listen to different solutions can be quite costly.
