Many weapons were used in the Vietnam War, the main rifle of the Americans was the M16.

During the testing of the M16, it performed sucessfully. The M16 is one of the first guns to use composite plastic in it, making it extremely light. Many vietnam soldiers went to the war with a M16 slung over there backs. It was supposed to be a self-cleaning gun.

It wans't.

Soldiers saw right when they got it it was prone to jam. The reliability was almost zero.
