No, there are no cleaning kits. It's self-cleaning. Just keep adding lube.
Try not to let them sit in the sun.
>It's self-cleaning. Just keep adding lube.
Except that actually works
Hmmm does it?
Yes. Let me introduce you to Filthy 14.

How about that
I see what you're doing, Anon. But even if soldiers got their new rifle in country, they'd be trained on them. Not just trade their 14s for 16s and be done with it.
Don't you take that tone with me MAGGOT
Looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mother's ass and ended up a brown stain on the mattress. Now drop and give me 20 private!

That wasn't the cast in Vietnam and was a huge contributor to the initial issues they had with the M16.
Hello Mr sergeant I have already lost my rifle :DDD
Goddamn it. You a New Yorker boy? You look like one. Pansy asses.

Over there
I was told there was whiskey...
The U.S. Army M16A1 is considered by many to be the worst assault rifle ever invented. Its overcomplicated mechanism is both difficult to clean and prone to jamming. Adjusting the sight, something that must be done every time a target shifts its range, requires the use of a nail, ballpoint pen, or similar device. What if you didn’t have one, or lost it as several dozen zombies shambled steadily toward you? The delicate plastic stock of the M16A1 obviates bayonet use, and by attempting to use it as such you would risk shattering the hollow, spring-loaded stock. This is a critical flaw. If you were confronted by multiple ghouls and your A1 jammed, you would be unable to use it as a last-ditch hand-to-hand weapon. In the 1960s, the M16 (originally the AR-15) was designed for Air Force base security. For political reasons typical of the military-industrial complex (you buy my weapon, you get my vote and my campaign contribution), it was adopted as the principal infantry weapon for the U.S. Army. So poor was its early battle record that during the Vietnam War, communist guerrillas refused to take them from dead Americans. The newer M16A2, although somewhat of an improvement, is still regarded as a second-class weapon. If given the choice, emulate the Vietcong and ignore the M16 entirely.
The actual worse is the LA85A1
You can adjust the sights with a round from your magazine, and only a moron adjusts the sights constantly, thats the point of a combat zero. The whole DOPE system of the M16A2 has been done away with by the Army for at least 10 years. Max Brooks was a moronic motherfricker. But his book was very fun when I was in middle school when it came out.

M-16: A Bureaucratic Horror Story: Why the rifles jammed

The guys Eisenhower called "the military industrial complex?" The military part was the Ordinance department.
The M14 was the Ordinance Department's baby. They sabotaged the M16.
How about that XM177E2
CHING DONK DA BALA DONG HING YANKI CONG DI CON
VC were effectively obliterated after Tet.
The first period the XM16E1's actually performed excellent. Hal Moore said that the new rifles were a big factor to the American troops success at Ia Drang Valley. The problem with corrosion, lack of maintenance, wear and tear from hot ammo etc., all came later. Most accounts from soldiers I've read all praise the M-16, and then you have some accounts from soldiers who got a lemon. I'm not trying to downplay the problems it had or the fact that people died because of them, but there's a reason why most people who could get one, got one.
The army's Ordinance Department bought the wrong kind of powder for the M16. They did this on purpose. Armalite specified the type of powder to use, and the Ordinance Department didn't buy that kind of powder.
Remember its only a war crime if you lose
Once im done with my m16a1 im literally building myself one of these.
