Vietnam M16A1 vs Modern AR-15

They're in the trees man

I wouldn't feel under gunned or anything with an A1. Plus I prefer the iron sights over an optic…at least for now while my eyes are good!

I wish I had a Vietnam m16

You gotta run it with the 20 round mag

Oooop.. you still hit the tree with all those ridicules g.i. Joe moves. But being the Mr. G.i. Joe Rambo Jason bourne sniper navy seal green beret special forces black ops guy that you are but you can't talk about it and everything about you is sealed and you don't exist on paper.. (I bet it's really under that special helmet you got on there) and everything you did was solo missions bcz anything less would just slow you down and compromise the mission.. I must say, you know way much more than I do, and I know you shoot way way better then me (n probably than most) it's truely my belief if you don't already, you should do a program teaching others on fire arms where you live. Like a weekend school for beginners.. especially for woman and teenagers. I bet you could make a nice coin seeing n hearing how well steeped in gun knowledge you truly. And I'll add you handle them as one should. Well done! And id also like to take the time to thank you for your service of the people of this country is .🤘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍 believe me.. (this part is true) I do feel confident and sleep pritty sound knowing there are still a few ww2 type of men still around keeping jackasses like me that try to be funny safe in the greatest country of the greatest people on earth. I did learn a thing or 2 in this killer video. A massive % of youtube vidoes with men geared up in combat gear… actuality 99% of them know jack shit n never served and can hardly load a gun let alone handle it or shoot in any kinda proper form… but talk nothing but nonsense! It's so obvious.. like that 1 adult weve all herd once in our life that tells such outlandish lies, it so bad.. it so far out there like 5 year old speaking, and in your own mind yr saying to yourself.. are you serious? This guy actuly thinks I believe him.. n he just keeps talking and the lies are getting more n more outrageous with every second. So, I was kinda ripping on that guy.. not you personally. I know you know yr stuff.. ya know way more than I do I bet. Hope it made you chuckle once you found out I wasn't actually taking to or about you. great video n yes, I learned something from it. Now I can kinda talk like a know a lil something about these good rifles. Thanks! Ok.. sorry I'm back bcz I checked out your about section n it said… active duty guy that likes firearms working out and humor in which I felt a sense of relief after taking 20 mns to type this nonsense. Cool.. again I was goofing on guys that want to basically be like you! And they lie.. big time… n dont know shit. like the guys the big man Don Shipley deals with n the stolen valor fake navy seal douche bags! That's who I was knocking in the beginning of my post. Me, I know you know yr shit bcz I can tell.. i saw it hear. I was 99.9% you'd get it.. great comparison bcz I didn't know bcz I've never held nor shot a m16.. ar15 yes n i love em. NEW SUBSCRIBER! thanks again n have a good 1.🤣👍

In my opinion you shouldn't have any modifications on the ar15 since the m4a1 doesn't have any it would've been different logically

In my opinion the m16a1 and the m16a4 is my favorite AR-15

Whats yours? Comment

If you’ve ever bought a airsoft gun for over $2000 hoping it would be good but it’s complete shit so you tried to convert it to a DDM4 and it ended up exploding, go ahead and hit that subscribe button.

M16A1 is amazing. Used it as a conscript in my country for 2 years and its lightweight feel on top of the precision for medium to long range firing makes it a deadly weapon for those who appreciate marksmanship. Night firing wise, I've have had perfect shot scores consistently and at 300m, it is easy to pick out a small head especially with the high muzzle velocity

Been a fan of your stuff for years now, and would really love to know the intro music.

Peen hard

Made it worth watching until the end.

The virgin M16 vs the virgin ar 15……vs the chad ak 47

22:00 The larger aperture is for shooting in lower light conditions.

The M16's are now in the hands of drug cartels and crime factions in third world countries now, along with AK's, FAL's, G3's….

My dad's friend told me that when they put the M16A1 in his hands for the first time he thought it was a toy because of how light it was

for the drill you did ar the tree have you ever failed to get ur face out of the way and you get smaked?

I still like 20 inch barrels and bayonets

Anderson lower, milspec trigger, wrong much LONGER stock, vrs a bcm? For real dude?
And a “g” trigger? And biased mostly cqb drills.
Did you match the correct ammo to account for barrel twist? Bet not.
I have a much different m16a1 build, hand lapped match barrel, correct short stock, mk-x trigger. Lapped and bedded nodak spud upper and lower. And most likely cost a bit more than the bcm you run.
The outcome would be much, much different I assure you.
And will slaughter that m4 past 300m, or 400m or 500, or 600..800 yes 800 m
The m16a1 also will weigh less, much less, ever hump one all day? Weight is less than even with that little m4 carbine ….
Throwing the bs flag on this one, all you kids think what ever is new is better, and some things this may be true, and sometimes , it just new and untested….
You show a clear bias. And used the wrong longer stock , the worst trigger made, and ran no long range shots at all, run a full service rifle drill! Use the same trigger in both.
You made the m16a1 look as bad as anyone could. Ran a compensator on the m4 vrs a bird cage, and say rifle recoil is the same as a carbine, that sir is a lie…it just is.
I see this clearly.
Just saying,
I do agree training is most important, but a door kicker cqb carbine, in cqb biased drills.
Vrs a rifle is silly, come on guy.
I think someone needs to train on the long range game a bit, and get a fuller picture.
Different tools do different jobs.
Rifle and carbines are very much different.

If you've ever lived in the UK, and had a sad face when you hear Americans say they should have more gun control.

M16A1 was used as a squad automatic weapon back in the 80's. Squad auto rifleman was issued a spring loaded bi-pod and extra mags. He was the only one "authorized" to go full auto. Like that stopped the rest of us. You could put about 10 30rnd mags through before the hand guards started to smoke, but the barrel was just fine.
Bayonet lug is useful for CDTP and SOSU operations when confronting a hostile mob.
A1 used a different round than the modern AR's. Had a different twist rate in the barrel. Of course you all know this stuff already.

Having carried both professionally since 1985, I have to say, I prefer the A1.
Maybe its a first love kind of thing?
Or maybe its because its a simple rugged and much lighter platform?
Like you said, its all about the training.

m16a1 if you can see it you can hit it. must keep it clean or it will jam on you. u.a.army 77-82 359th asa, 2nd acr tourjour pret merrell barracks nurnberg w.germany cold war. whats up to my brothers out there. peace to my fellow 19d and interceptors 05h20 back in the days.

all the other kids…

That's the ugliest AR 15 I've ever seen

Why wear the flannel with no undershirt and the sleeves rolled up. Is that mil-spec? Let’s do a video on current temperatures. To clear up the confusion.

Bayonet would be nice to have on the m16

One time I bought some tamales from some guy on a bicycle with a cooler with no ice in it took them home opened them up they stunk the whole house up I eat one of them it was awful I'd never do that again

Where can I get that sick ass hoodie that you're wearing in the beginning of the video? It looks pretty cool and I don't feel like I can operate on your level without one. Hook a brotha up, man.

Hey now, that A1 has an A2 stock on it. I see that extra LOP you sneaky SOB! 😂👍🏻🇺🇸

I'm disappointed you don't have 20 round mags in the M16A1, other than that I love the video

Dude, how is it you spent all that time in the military and still call an M-16 a gun? lol I got my ass smoked for calling my M-16a4 a gun. My drill sergeant, "A 240B or M-2 is a gun you dumbass! An m-16 is A RIFLE!" I haven't had that problem since lmao

Didnt the a1 version not have a forward assist?

Wait did u serve if so what branch

AR15 = mostly SEMI auto (granted I was issued a full/semi AR15 three prong in the army.. PLEASE call the new one a M4. You were using an AR and a M4, and you even mixed them up once.
Also, the ammo is different the M16 of Nam era was 55gr and was 3300fps with a 1:14 then later 1:12 twist, the M4 is 62/63gr with a faster 1:8/7 twist, but only 2900 fps. Termanal ballistics and wounding are much different.
The long barrel gave the high velocity, and the almost unstable bullet caused hellacious wounds.
Granted I wouldn't like to be shot with either.

Word of the day. Gucci.

I'm trying to get an ar15 its kinda small and brown from Springfield

#BlackGunsMatter

My br-17 wasn’t made by Gucci but was made by umm…(looking) it says Century Arms on the bottom and on the top it says llama. I found a red dot at Walmart, it must be made for my br & an air gun. Says “Red Ryder” on the red dot. I found a great light for it, I’m running a “mag-lite” but cannot find a mount so it’s taped onto the barrel for now. And no…I am not shooting any better! What am I doing wrong? Regarding night vision, veggies! Grrr ps: great break down on comparison between the two. Thank you!
Pss: I just looked all over the web for a br17 made by Gucci but was unable? Is this a supply and demand thing? (Since the Gucci designer passed away) In the future could you do a video on a Gucci gun? (Thumbs up & subbed)

Okay, just watching the very beginning and I know we're not comparing a weapon using irons with one using an optic.

I wish i were american

La M16 es de Mexico

What upper is that

"Where does he get those wonderful..sweaters"

The A1 with pmags is oddly attractive
