Trumpeter 01917 1/3 M933 AR15/M16/M4 Family

The M16 rifle was created in the design office of the Californian company Armalite. It was developed according to the tactical and technical assumptions for the new rifle, issued by the American Infantry Board, which was to replace the worn-out and obsolete M14 rifles. The main designer of the weapon was Eugenie Stoner, who based the new design on his earlier work, the AR-10 rifle. The main change was the use of a different caliber, which was reduced from 7.62mm to 5.56mm.
