Field stripping a M16

I'm in Army ROTC and I'm on the marksmanship team. There is a competition every year at Fort Benning, Georgia where teams from all over the country compete. BYU placed 6th last year. My instructor taught me how to field strip the m16.

There are two pins above the trigger which come out which allows the low end of the gun (the part with the handle) to seperate from the upper end (the barrel). For me that was the most difficult because the pins were stuck on very tight.


If you go to this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgVOj0Dznfw it show you how fast you can field strip a m16. (For some reason I can't post the video here).
