I can field strip and assemble the M-16 blind folded. ;-)That was a requirement to pass boot camp in '74. I remember it was a timed test.

As it was for us in the Army, in Armor AIT, circa 1968.
Then I got to my first line assignment, where we learned to do it again. With a M1911A1 .45 pistol, an M3 greasegun, a M73 co-ax machinegun and an M60 MG, all taken down and all the parts in one pile.
That took a little longer....

M-16 had a serious problems, like never discharging when opportunity called for it.
