Something you would have NO KNOWLEDGE OF since you aren't SMART enough to research the differences. Never were, never will be.
And the M-16 underwent MANY design changes over the years from non-chrome plated chambers to changes in auto fire mechanisms. Something the AR-15 differs in greatly. Including the various configuration for ammo that the M16 never had happen. They were ALWAYS chambered for the 5.56 NATO round whereas the AR-15 has had many variations of cartridges.
