These dont have any M16's in them but I thought they were pretty cool. I'll remove them if you guys want.

These should really be posted under Capt Richardson's Carbine Guide - but since we don't know how long it will be around I'm posting them here:

U.S. Army Rangers speaking with Vice Admiral Metcalf during Urgent Fury [Oct 1983]. At least two M653's are present:

U.S. Marine in Beirut [Dec 1983] with M16A1 - to the right [off camera] is a Marine who obviously has an XM177E2 [only the flash suppressor can be seen]. I have tried to find this series of images in hopes another picture might show the Marine to the right and the XM177E2 - haven't been lucky enough:

How'd THAT get in here??

Very astute of you. Coppola had full cooperation of the Phillipean gov't in making that film, including the F-5 flyover. Well, at least when the Hueys weren't being used elsewhere.

I wondered who'd make mention of it.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Not and M16 picture, but it sure is retro, though people might be interested to see this.


Soldier or actor/demonstrator clearly has a T48E1 (H&R imported FAL)

Mike was always goofing off for the camera!

I'm guessing they were, but were Combat Weather Teams really supposed to do their job via ballon under combat conditions? Cool pictures regardless.

In theory, but we only used the balloons for wind runs for mass jumps in training: at least in my time. In Vietnam, there were few mass combat jumps. But we had the capability. The helicopter insertions were the norm.
Sorry about the size of the pictures, photobucket automatically resized them; they were bigger, showing the M-16's better. They had the duckbill flash suppressors.

Nice trigger discipline!
