Though the M-16's predecessor rifle, the 11¼-lb. M-14, has a longer range and fires a heavier bullet, it cannot match the M-16's maximum sustained rate of fire (up to 200 rounds a minute v. 60 for the M-14). Many Marines-as well as the South Korean troops in Viet Nam-are still armed with the slower-firing M-14, and as a result the Pentagon has also been faulted for failure to supply all the M-16s that the Allies in Viet Nam demanded...
Fire Discipline. In the face-to-face warfare of Viet Nam, the rifleman needs more and faster lead than any soldier in history. To that end, the M-16 has proved itself the best weapon available.

Lifton and Marcus observed a total of five possible human images behind the wall in the background, including two (designated nos. 2 and 5) in which one can see a suggestion of a gun. Although the other three images are more questionable, Marcus is certain both...
Reason to Hail, in his seventh tough stakes in two months, will try hard, as always, and will wind up fourth, as always. If he were a person he would go on strike. Nehoc's Bullet's only claim to fame is that he is Damascus's half-brother. Proviso's record is intriguingly mediocre. Blasting Charge and Gaylord's Feather ran one, two in a nice route on the grass against older horses last week, but that hardly qualifies them to win the country's toughest three-year-old race...
