[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2311641, member: 118816"] I was one of those serving in Viet Nam at the time. I was physically taken by the company First Sergeant and Executive Officer out of my hovel in my hootch early one morning and forced to take my M14 and turn it in and get a M16 to replace it. I was not a Happy Camper not only having to turn in my M14 for a M16 but the way it was done, which I have to admit was due to my reluctance to furn in my beloved M14. However...unlike others who simply bitched about it I took my issue M16 (which was a brand new Colt out of the box) out to the berm around the airfield and sighted it in and found that despite it's limited range (400 meters) it was quite accurate. (1 MOA) Set my battlesight zero since I only had 100 meters to play with and found that the battle-sight and flip rear sight worked quite well during our perimeter defense skirmishes. Over the years shot M16's in competition over many a combat course of fire and while never fell in love with it respected it for what it could in fact do in the hands of someone who knew how to actually shoot. (There were very few of us at the time) rather than simply spray bullets out into the wilderness so to speak without any definite target in sight. [/QUOTE]
