Virtually all of the U.S. Rangers dispatched to Somalia in 1993 were armed with the M16A2, a development of the Vietnam era M16A1; which itself replaced the earlier and much heavier M14 Rifle. In 1986 the U.S. Army adopted the M16A2, which had various improvements including a heavier barrel and a larger magazine capacity of 30 rounds of 5.56mm Nato standard ammunition. In addition, all M16A2 rifles can mount the under-barrel 40mm grenade launcher (M203). This King & Country U.S. Army Ranger armed with an M279 fires a burst at the enemy forces... as they engage the Somalia rebels.
