uh ya.... unfortunately not showing. anyway, you scored a genuine m16a4? as in it has the burst cam and automatic sear in it?

First, it should be working now, and second, yes, I do have a genuine M16A4. It fire semi auto single shot and 3 round burst, there is no version that is full auto, if you see one that does, it's been modded.

You posseded this qeapon or you are in a Army ?

I am in the United States Marine Corps. This is my weapon, as I am solely responsible for ensuring it fires and is maintained.

I just asking. I know all of this, for the resposability. I'm Infanteryman, too, in the Canadians Forces

Haha, nice. It's good to see that I am not the only service member that frequents the site.

But I was thing that now all the US marine are now a M-4 and the M-16 are a released weapon. It like in the Canadian Infantery, since 2 or 3 years, all C7 will be rempalced by the C8

No, most use the M16A4, only some are issued the M4, depending on their job and what the mission calls for. More still, are issued an M9 Pistol (which I will have pics of that up soon).

Nice gun! Now it would be really cool if you had an M-203 with it XD I'm a bigger fan of the 7.62 rounds. I own a Chinese SKS and a Russian M-44. Both have the bayonets too. I have shot the M-16 and it had a major jamming problem where my two guns never jammed on me yet. But it is still a very cool gun you have. ^^

Thanks. I have only had issues with jamming when firing older rounds or older models (the A2). I do like the 7.62 weapons myself, but the 5.56 is pretty nice. Light, and it gets the job done. I also like the range it gives me, plus, it lacks the kick of a Combat Shotgun, which is nice.

awesome ^.^

thanks :P
this is my rifle, tis for shooting :P

I always been a sucker to shoot guns that might have a nice kick. My buddy was in Operation Desert Storm and he always had fun stuff to shoot. LOL I did like the fact that the M-16 was a lot lighter than most. I switched my old wood stock to synthetic on the SKS but the Mosin Nagant I will try to keep in original form. Its nice to know that I'm not the only fur who loves to shoot ^^

Haha, well, it's kinda part of my job to shoot :P
and the Mosin Nagant is a beautiful weapon, the SKS is nice as well, but a synthetic stock won't take any away from it.

guns aren't cool furry art is XD

lol, well, if weapons aren't your thing, I did doodle a picture of Indy that you can feel free to take a look at ^.^

It slimmed her down a bit not enough like you said XD I'm a pretty big guy so far it hasn't bothered me weight wise. Thanks for talkin with me too. Shooting is just sorta a MAJOR hobby for me. Thanks for your time and keep up the awesome work you do. *shakes your paw*

Haha, anytime. It's an honor to serve, and I enjoy my work.
*firmly shakes your paw*
I'll be posting more pics that I take out here as well, maybe even get some of the Oasis and the Mosque, but for now, I have some more pics of my M16 to upload :P

a m16a4 has multiple parts in the trigger mechanism. on single fire the automatic sear is disconnected and the cant of the trigger system is such that the burst cam isnt an issue. during this fire a secondary "hook" in the weapon's trigger that grips the hammer and prevents it from dropping again until the trigger is released and pulled again. when you next shoot the weapon dont release the trigger(as proper follow through will teach you to anyway), slowly release the trigger and you should hear a click as the rear hook disengages and the front part of the trigger takes on the load.

now the only difference between a m16a4's trigger system and the a3(automatic version) is that the m16a4 has the burst cam. BOTH have the automatic sear that prevents the hammer from falling before the bolt is in the full foreward and locked position. the rearmost part of the bolt actually pushes on that sear and releases it when the bolt closes. break down your weapon "shotgun style" and draw the bolt out. that slot(where the hammer drops) continues on for a distance and then it turns into a full circular bolt again. its that back part that disengages the automatic sear that is rotated in place when you put the weapon on "burst".

now the burst cam is what prevents your weapon from firing full auto. it simply prevents the trigger from engaging the hammer again until 3 rounds have been fired off. if you pull that off its full automatic. thats why i was curious about you having an a4 and not a ar-15. i thought they were in the same class as full automatic weapons especially considering how close they are. it doesnt require extensive modifacation, but rather just leaving a part out in assembly of the trigger group.

anyway, now that the picture actually loads on the computer i just see you took a picture of your issued arm in the military. clearly you dont own the thing, your using military 3 point sling and the thing even has the armory rack number on it :P. lol, welcome to the military bud, i myself am an armorer.

Yeah, that is my rack number on there, lol. and hey, i like my 3 point sling, it may not be the on i was issued, but it works, lol.

what service you in?

Oh, and if you look close, you can tell that's my issued blanket. the green woolen scratch pad. i still gotta get out to the PX (i'm sorry, AAFES out here) and buy some new shit, lol.

usmc armorer. you may use the weapon but i make sure it isnt broken, lol.

I'm no grunt, I'm a comm Marine Since I'm not "out in the shit" all the time, my A4 is a shiny, sexy girl

Haha, mine used to be, now she only gets clean on the inside parts. The rest is always plastered with dust, lol.
What unit you with?

6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4thMLG operating out of Portland, Oregon.

Nice. It's always nice to see another Marine or service member on the site.

Indeed. I thought I was the only one, but I doubted it

^.^

OOH! M16A4! My one of my Favorites!

wow....it took me a LONG time to realize you had a killflash on your ACOG. Are those issued or did you have to buy it yourself?

Issued with everything you see there. The only things that belong to me are the slings and the butt stock mag holder.

*grins* Ah, the M16A. Awesome rifle! awesome pic!

Haha, I may disagree you after I've carried it around for far too long, but only because I'm tired of carrying it ^.^ and thank you ^.^

I'd say "Keep that bitch clean" but shit, a Marine does NOT need to be instructed on weapon maintenance. Especially not by a Kalashnikov-slinging civie punk like me!

Shoot straight, Devildog!

Haha! Thanks man, and I take advice from all, though I like to think I keep her rightfully clean XD
Oorah!

Wow impressive fire arm. Just make sure you don't go GTA style and go kill everyone

hahaha, as tempting as that is (given how much i love gta) i'll be sure to keep my rampages to shiny blue and white skull icons that provide me lots of money! (in other words in game)

Very nice, I love AR type rifles and carbines. I've got an old AR-15 that was made by Colt in about 1972. It's like the old 'Nam era A1.

Indy, You know who this is right? Because I know I told you to clean your damn rifle every time I came down to your hut. >:(

Yeah, I know who this is! How's the kid?

Also, I cleaned it....when I got back to NR XD

Kid is awesome, You better come visit us, she misses her uncle!

Yours looks a lot like my A3.
