History-
M16 (more formally United States Rifle, Caliber 5.56mm, M16) is the U.S. military designation for a family of rifles derived from the ArmaLite AR-15 and further developed by Colt starting in the mid-20th century.
The M16 Rifle family including the M16/A1/A2/A3/A4 has been the primary infantry rifle of the United States military since the 1960s. With its variants, it has been in use by 15 NATO countries, and its most produced firearm in its caliber. The M16 entered Army service in 1964.
The M4 Carbine is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2), while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the three-round burst.
The M16A4 became standard issue for the United States Marine Corps during Operation Iraqi Freedom, increasingly replacing the earlier M16A2. In The United States Army, a combination of the M16A4 and M4 carbine continues to replace existing M16A2 rifles. The A4 incorporates a flattop receiver unit developed for the M4 carbine, a handguard with four Picattiny rails for mounting optical sights, lasers, night vision devices, forward handgrips, removable carry handles and flashlights.
In Vietnam, some soldiers were issued a carbine version of the M16 called the XM177. The XM177 had a shorter 10 in (254mm) barrel and a telescoping stock, which made it substantially more compact. It also possessed a combination flash-hider/sound moderator to reduce problems with muzzle flash and loud report. The USAF's GAU-5/A (XM177) and the U.S. Army's XM177E1 variants differed over the latter's inclusion of a forward assist. The final USAF GAU-5/A and US Army XM177E2 had an 11.5 in(292mm) barrel with a longer flash/sound supressor. The lengthening of the barrel was to support the attachment of Colt's own Xm148 40mm Grenade launcher. These versions were also known as the Colt Commando model commonly referenced and marketed as the CAR-15.
