3.0 out of 5 stars Only Covers the Early History , April 8, 2008
By Lodge2 (Texas) - See all my reviews
  
Good overview of the development and early use of the M-16 by the U.S. Military in Vietnam. Eugene Stoner is interviewed and the roles of several individuals, such as Curtis LeMay and Robert McNamara, are explained. Has interesting footage of early tests and use by the military.

Unfortunately, this video is better defined by what it's missing. The focus is almost entirely on the M16 and M16A1, with minimal discussion of the M16A2. The CAR-15 and M4 Carbine are not mentioned. The National Match AR-15 and Camp Perry are not mentioned. The proliferation of companies involved in the manufacture (Bushmaster, ArmaLite, DPMS, Rock River Arms, etc...) are not mentioned.

Although much has changed in the last 10 years (this episode is dated 1998), it seems like the episode was actually done much earlier, i.e. early 1980's.
