Скачать или смотреть M16 Assault Rifle: Inside the Engineering That Changed Modern Infantry Warfare

The M sixteen assault rifle was more than a new weapon—it represented a radical shift in infantry warfare. Lightweight construction, high rate of fire, and the controversial direct impingement gas system made it one of the most debated rifles in military history.

First deployed during the Vietnam War, the M sixteen promised superior accuracy and controllability. But harsh jungle conditions quickly exposed the challenges of advanced engineering in real combat environments. This documentary breaks down the rifle’s internal mechanics, gas system design, and battlefield role—explaining why the M sixteen became both a technological milestone and a hard-earned lesson in military design.

“The M sixteen proved that engineering alone does not win wars—adaptation does.”
