Is that why the M193 was replaced by M855 green tips and now iirc they use the M855A1.Even funnier.
Half of the problem with the M16 series was cracked in the late 80's.
The ammo.
No shit, it was the fucking ammo. They'd tested with one company, demanded a certain type of powder for Vietnam for the ammo, and then never looked again, trying to fix the fucking problem with carbon buildup.
It turned out to be the ammo and in late 1988 they replaced almost ALL of the 5.56mm NATO rounds in the US storage facilities and sent all the old stuff Condition-H to the fucking National Guard and the training units.
Jamming stopped. Blowbacks stopped.
The whole time, it was the fucking ammo.
