Why is the M16A1 considered reliable despite its historical reputation?

Hickok45 explains that early M16 failures during Vietnam were often due to non-chrome-lined chambers, improper ammunition powder, and a myth about not needing cleaning. When properly maintained, the platform is exceptionally reliable.
