About Real COLT M16A1 The M16A1 is a selective-fire assault rifle that was adopted by the United States military as an improved version of the original M16 rifle. The rifle operates using a gas system with a rotating bolt and has a cyclic rate of fire between 700 and 800 rounds per minute, with an effective range of about 460 meters. The development of the M16A1 was directly shaped by the difficult early field performance of the M16 during the Vietnam War. The original M16 was rushed into service without certain crucial features recommended by its designers, and it was issued with a different type of gunpowder that caused excessive fouling. These issues, combined with a lack of cleaning supplies and training, led to widespread malfunctions and jams in combat. A congressional investigation prompted the Army to implement a series of modifications to correct these problems. The most significant changes that defined the M16A1 included the addition of a chrome-plated barrel and chamber to resist corrosion and improve reliability in humid jungle conditions, and the incorporation of a forward assist button on the side of the receiver. This forward assist allowed a soldier to manually push the bolt closed if it failed to seat properly. These modifications, along with improvements to the buffer system and the issuance of proper cleaning kits and ammunition, transformed the rifle into a much more reliable and effective weapon.
