The M16A1 rifle is best suited for M193 55-grain ammunition due to its 1:12 twist rate. M855 62-grain ammunition, designed for faster 1:7 twist rates found in M16A2 and M4s, is not ideal for the M16A1 as it may not stabilize properly. Understanding ammunition and rifle specifications is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
This video from Iraqveteran8888 features an expert-level test of the RMA Model 1078 Level III armor plate.

The testing highlights the critical importance of using armor rated for specific threats.

This video tests the safety claim that a Blank Firing Attachment (BFA) will safely detach if a live round is fired through it. The experiment confirms that the BFA shears off the muzzle, protecting the rifle's barrel and internal components. After the BFA failure, the rifle's accuracy and structural integrity were verified by firing a full magazine of live ammunition.
