The story

Why it's a legend

The M16 has served the United States military since the 1960s. Its light weight and low-recoil cartridge made it the standard against which every modern service rifle is measured, and its select-fire capability is exactly what you get to run on our floor.

On the floor

What it feels like

Quick and flat. The 5.56 cartridge is light on the shoulder, so bursts stay controllable and the rifle comes back on target fast.

  • Ammunition, eye and ear protection
  • Targets and certificate of completion
