United States Army presents TF9-4619. February 1973. Rifle: M16A1 Operation. Cycle of Functioning and Immediate Action. This is a 1950’s era, black and white, military training video on how to properly use and maintain the M16A1 rifle. The film also addresses immediate action to remedy some common malfunctions with the weapon. The film opens to a rifle spinning on a table axis. Soldiers in the field with artillery fire. The soldier’s rifle jams 1:00. The soldier falls. A close-up on the M16A1 rifle, 1:30. A soldier demonstrates how to load the M16A1 1:40. The magazine is inserted into the rifle 2:07. The soldier presses in on the magazine catch button 2:20. Demonstration on how to remove the magazine 2:24. The soldier demonstrates how to operate the selector lever 2:40. A demonstration on how the hammer is locked for safe use is shown 2:55. The soldier demonstrates firing the weapon 3:23. The soldier demonstrates how to use the weapon in automatic mode 3:40. The soldier releases an empty magazine and reloads a full magazine 4:00. There is an animation showing the eight steps of using the rifle 4:30. The first section is on “feeding” 4:51. There is a demonstration on how to feed the rifle 5:20. The next step is “chambering” 5:35. There is a demonstration on how to chamber the rifle 6:00. The next step is “locking” 6:30. A demonstration follows on how the firing bolt is locked into the rifle 7:05. The next step in the demonstration is “firing” 7:17. A demo on Semi-automatic firing is first 7:25. A demonstration on semi-automatic firing 7:50. After firing, “unlocking” takes place 8:05. There is a slow-motion demonstration on how unlocking takes place 8:20. The cam pin moves on the cam track 9:30. The demonstration on “extraction” 10:12. The extractor grabs the case and pulls it from the chamber 10:40. The next step is “ejection” 10:59. A slow-motion and high speed photography show how bullets are extracted from the rifle 11:20. A demonstration on “cocking” begins 11:45. The selector is moved to the auto position on the rifle 12:50. A close-up of the automatic firing mechanism is shown 13:40. A soldier demonstrates the automatic firing of the rifle 14:40. The eight steps of operation cycle of functioning for the M16A1 rifle are put on the screen 15:26. They are: feeding, chambering, locking, firing, unlocking, extraction, ejection and cocking. A summary of the 8 steps of the operation cycle of functioning begins, 15:35. A soldier fires the rifle 17:25. A soldier demonstrates the eight steps of operation cycle of functioning for the M16A1 17:45. Cycles of Functioning. The soldier must understand the rifle components and the mechanical sequence of events during the firing cycle. The eight cycles of functioning (feeding, chambering, locking, firing, unlocking, extracting, ejecting, and cocking) begin after the loaded magazine has been inserted in the weapon. The M16A1 is an early Cold War assault rifle of US origin. The M16 was a giant leap forward in firearms design and the first standard issue assault rifle adopted by US forces. the M16's design stems from the ArmaLite AR-15, but the name Colt is best known for producing the first generation of the M16 family.

I think I saw this film when I was in basic training in 1977. 😅
한국인으로써 가슴이 웅장해진다 As a Korean we still use this masterpeace as national guard and reserve army 😂
Who is your country doing? America ,has changed a lot since covid.
My personal gun at my 22 months service in Greek army...😊
So, lot's of sodomy?
Still relevant in '24
Bring back memories
A true classic!! 🇺🇲
It was, and it's offshoots are, junk.
@@jasonm949 Yep, sadly.
Fort Jackson,1974,M-16,Expert ,Basic
In Basic (or AIT, can't remember), our unit got to play with AK that had been recently captured in Grenada. After a day of *jam-free shooting* and *easy cleaning* everyone I talked to liked the AK better than M16. Mine was a wire folding stock variant, loved it.
How dare you say the AK was better !!! hush the m16 was over engineer.
I was issued the A1 for my time in the Army. 1970-72
Correction @11:25, narrator stated end of "barrel" extension, which should've said receiver extension. I wonder what percent of GIs got this, but I could see a DI asking the class where that mistake was.
In the early 70s I qualified expert with a GM hydromatic M16. I carried an A1 Harrington Richardson for 8 years, qualified expert annually. I'm pretty sure I did a bunch of push ups for falling asleep during this film!
Don't forget your P.M.C.S. Soldier
SPORTS!
Still do SPORTS and function check on my AR
@@davideldridge4479 Slap, Pull, Observe, Release, Tap, Squeeze. I did basic over 30 years ago and still remember this!
What does the M stand for?
SKS please
Tap rack bang
M-14 much more reliable M16 jamb alot
I was in the Army when this came out. The M-16 felt like a toy.
I much preferred my M-60.
TDS fanantic says-"Muh racists!!!!" while the rest of the world just hopes you find a REALLY good Shrink. 🙄
It was a deadly ( toy) I heard some parts were built by MATTEL.
@@danielmota1095 usually replying in a fact based discussion one would generally not want to use the phrase "I heard" when attempting to state something factual
The biggest racist I know of is right there in your thumbnail
The music. 😂
They should have done better in explaining to the soldier how the gas works inside the bolt, forcing the two sections apart to unlock it before sending it rearward. They should have shown the gas sealing as well. An animation should have been shown for that, since this is the very thing that fouls up in these rifles. Dirt and carbon buildup inside the bolt creates failure.
False.
It is physically impossible for enough carbon fouling to build up in the bolt carrier group to stop it from functioning.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 are you gunsmith or armorer? I am.
The carbon and dirt damages the sealing of the bolt halves, which was why they had to add a dust cover. It's also why there have been redesigns using a piston assembly and action rod to replace the gas tube, which does away with gas entering the bolt altogether.
This video, being from 1973, was still firmly in the days of ignoring the problem in hopes it would disappear on its own. It is what it is.
@@craxd1 You must not be much of one, considering you don’t realize every production M16 had a dust cover. Pictures of ones with single digit serial numbers confirm this.
The fit of the bolt and bolt carrier assembly are the exact reason that “too much carbon fouling” can’t happen. The amount of fouling is self limiting as the action of the bolt tail unlocking will shed an excess carbon fouling and it will simply fall down through the BCG and out of the rifle.
The external piston models like the 416 or various LWRC offerings were not much more than a marketing gimmick in terms of the “fouling” you’re referencing.
Larry Vickers, who was a consultant for H&K during their design of the 416 even stated this. He said the piston is really only an advantage when the use case of the rifle is extensive full auto fire with a suppressor in maritime environments *and* the barrel length is below 11.5 inches. The “piston reliability” only comes into play in this instance because of the dwell time of the action.
@@craxd1 But next time you want to flex your (likely fabricated) armorer and gunsmith credentials, you should probably actually know what you’re talking about.
Just a thought 🙂
@make racists afraid again you didn't pack no M60 and the only racist is right there on your thumbnail
I, carried the M16A1,M16A2 and the M4 Carbine during my 20 year career in the US Army. 1985-1989, 1991-1999, 2007 -2015. 19D -89D
Thanks for your service to our great nation.
*I wonder how many Soldiers and Marines passed out watching this in basic?* 😂 🥱😴😪
Not with the Drill Instructors pacing around the room!
@@bspegasus I absolutely recall the DIs & CCs rousting anybody that was drowsy, and half the guys in the company standing at the back of the compartment... but still! This is the antithesis of nodoz! 😂
Depened on how hot/humid it was in the classroom out a few times in other classes, but the drill sergeants would wake you up right quick...Are you checking your eyelids for PINHOLES???
