Thanks for posting this Ken! I was in BCT in the summer of '76 and while we trained on the M16A1, I don't think I ever saw this video.

ReplyDeleteSPORTS. Yup, it's still ingrained in the membrane. As I teach the Mrs to shoot, I also taught her that one.
DeleteDue to their age, M16 rifles are eligible for Curio & Relic status. What do you suppose the odds are of that happening?
