Dynamic Tests of the 30-Round Magazine for the M16A1 While Firing from the M231 Firing Port Weapon

Authors: Timothy L. Brosseau; ARMY BALLISTIC RESEARCH LAB ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD
Abstract:
Time displacement records of the magazine spring for the M16A1, while firing from the Firing Port Weapon, were obtained to determine if excessive spring surge was causing a stoppage problem during testing at APG. Results of the tests show there was no excessive magazine spring surge in the 30-round magazine for the M16A1 when firing from the M231 Firing Port Weapon. The results show the stoppage problem was caused by faulty magazines.
