    7. CHARACTERISTICS

    8. Types of Ammunition M193 Ball M855 Ball (Green Tip) M196 and M856 Tracer (Red Tip) M199 Dummy M200 Blank (Violet Tip)

    9. Filling and Stowing Magazines Filling Individual Each round place in separately Speed Loader 10-round stripper clip. Maximum of 30 rounds per magazine Stowing Magazine Pouch Load-Bearing Vest (LBV)

    21. How to Determine the Weapon Condition Determine if a magazine is present Ensure the rifle is on safe Conduct a chamber check Bring left hand back against the magazine well Extend fingers of the left hand and cover the ejection port

    22. Weapons Carries Tactical Carry No immediate threat Butt of Rifle on hip Barrel pointing upward in safe direction Alert Carry Contact with enemy is likely Butt of Rifle on shoulder Barrel pointing to dirt Ready Carry Contact with enemy is imminent Butt of Rifle on shoulder Barrel pointing directly ahead

    23. IMMEDIATE ACTION -- Slap up on the Magazine -- Pull the Charging Handle -- Observe the Chamber -- Release the Charging Handle -- Tap the Forward Assist -- Squeeze the Trigger

    24. Function check M16A2, SAFE position (1) Pull charging handle to the rear and release. (2) Place selector switch on SAFE. (3) Pull the trigger; the hammer should not fall.

    25. Function check M16A2, SEMI position (1) Place the selector on SEMI. (2) Pull the trigger and hold to the rear; the hammer should fall. (3) While holding the trigger back, pull the charging handle to the rear and release it. (4) Release the trigger and pull it again; the hammer should fall.

    26. Function check M16A2, BURST position (1) Place the selector on BURST. (2) Pull the charging handle to the rear and release. (3) Pull the trigger and hold to the rear; the hammer should fall. (4) Pull the charging handle to the rear THREE times and release. (5) Release the trigger and pull it again; the hammer should fall.

    27. Task, Conditions and Standards TASK- Zero an M16A2 Rifle CONDITIONS- On a 25-meter range, given an M16A2 rifle, 18 rounds of 5.56-mm ammunition, a 300-meter zero target, and sandbags for support. STANDARDS- Using 18 rounds or less, the soldier must battlesight zero his rifle by achieving five out of six rounds in two consecutive shot groups within the 4-centimeter circle.  Bullets that break the line of the 4-centimeter circle will be used in evaluating the soldier's performance.

    28. M16A2 Initial Front Sight Setting For 25 Meter Zero

    29. M16A2 Initial Rear Sight Setting for 25Meter Zero

    30. M16A2 Initial Sight Setting

    31. Marksmanship Fundamentals The four fundamentals are: Steady position Aim Breath control Trigger squeeze

    32. Steady Position A shooter must assume a comfortable, steady position in order to hit targets consistently. The elements of a steady position include: Non-firing hand grip, rifle butt position, firing hand grip, firing elbow placement, non-firing elbow placement, stock weld, support, muscle relaxation, and natural point of aim.

    33. Aiming Aiming involves correct site alignment, correct sight picture, and focusing on the front sight. Once a shooter learns to aim correctly, he must do the same procedure every shot. Accuracy is consistency; consistency is accuracy.

    34. Breath Control During zeroing or slow fire on single targets, a shooter simply holds his breath momentarily and shoots. The shot must be fired before any discomfort results or the lay of the rifle will be disturbed.

    35. Trigger Control All of the fundamentals are important but, trigger control is the most critical!!! It is also the fundamental that shooters perform incorrectly most often.

    36. Shot-Group Analysis

    37. Improper Trigger Squeeze

    38. Shooter Error

    39. Shot-Group Analysis

    40. 25 Meter Zero The shooter fires two separate, three-round shot groups and numbers them. Based on the shot groups and info provided on the target, the shooter computes the changes needed.

    41. 25 Meter Zero Here the shooter needs to move the strike of his rounds down 2 clicks and to the left 10 clicks. After the sight adjustment, 2 more 3-round groups are fired to confirm they are hitting center mass.

    42. 25 Meter Zero

    43. Zeroed By applying the four fundamentals and using shot group analysis, a shooter should have no problem achieving a good zero and moving on to becoming qualified with his rifle.

    45. CLEAR the WEAPON Place the Weapon on SAFE Remove the Magazine Lock the Bolt Open Check the Ejection Port and Chamber for ammo With Selector Lever on SAFE, let the bolt go forward

    46. DISASSEMBLY

    47. DISASSEMBLY

    48. CLEANING

    49. CLEANING

    51. INSPECT

    52. REASSEMBLY (Reverse Order) Charge the weapon and place it on SAFE, pull the trigger. Hammer should NOT fall Place the weapon on SEMI, pull the trigger and hold it to the rear. Hammer SHOULD fall. Charge the weapon, release the trigger and pull again. Hammer SHOULD fall Place the selector lever on BURST.
