M-16 "Machine Gun"
There is a point of contention regarding the M16 which I hope someone can clear up. I have always thought of it as an assault rifle and this is how it is referred to in Army FM's, i.e. gas operated, air cooled assault rifle. In the book To Be a US Army Ranger, however, it is referred to as the M16 machine gun. I have never been able to find a universal definition for either assault rifle or machine gun, and was wondering why it would be referred to as a machine gun.
Motivated. Dedicated. Heart and Soul.
