Fun little tidbit. US army basic training in 2004 used the M16 A4 when i joined. We were trained during basic to use the forward assist. Why? On the A4 it would regularly get an easily fixable failure to feed when my bullets were misaligned in the magazine (stanags banging around in your LBE) or some dirt/sand got in it. I often used to tap the mag on my helmet to knock out dirt and align the bullets in the back before reloading to reduce malfunctions. Slamming your forward assist often would fix the issue and allow you to keep firing. If the forward assist didnt budge I knew i needed to do the more standard malfunction clearing actions we do today. Alot of us didnt do that in unit because we got m4's and they didnt suffer from a malfunction type where the forward assist was as helpful. I've never shot an A1 variant but if it was anything like the A4, the forward assist was helpful.
Great video. I’d love to see another one of these but maybe for another very popular firearm platform like Glock or even Smith and Wesson revolvers or something

Love history time with Matt!!
I've always loved how triangular the original pattern variants were. The handguard, muzzle device and stock 👌🏻

I love when Matt does videos, I always feel like I'm learning something
I think the biggest impact has been how almost all modern rifles (even bolt action precision rifles) adopt AR controls and accessory parts
I love the SFAR. ar15 in 308
I don't want one 😮 I want ten of them 😊

THERE'S A SPEAR IN 8.6???.??GOD I HOPE SO….😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent presentation.
Very good video but it was disappointing that CF didn't have examples of most of the rifles discussed. If not CF, then who?
Appreciate the video! There are a lot of others you could do like the m14, mp5k, and galil
AR = America’s Rifle.
My favorite bloodline of firearms ❤️🇺🇸 Thank you, Mr. Stoner! I named my A2 model “Zoey” and she’s my best girl.
Too many words – need to show examples.
Bedankt
