[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 3005492, member: 74061"] The powder selected in the design of the m16 was DuPont IMR 4475. The first M-16s went to the Green Berets and they worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, the Military had a gun powder contract with Olin and the switched to powder to WC846 which got a lot of GIs killed. There is a good article on pew pew tactical that goes into all the failures of the m16 . [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pewpewtactical.com/m16-vietnam-failure[/URL] [/QUOTE]
