I was told that 9 seconds is what is required in basic training to take down a standard M-16. I'm guessing it means talking down the bolt carrier group too since I would have 7 seconds to spare normally. I seem to take my time doing it but never tried it timed. Can anyone else do it?
I'd be losing parts left and right if I tried.
I would assume you have to have to take down the BCG, otherwise I agree, I'd have leftover time to scratch. [Beer]
Anyone what to try it and post a video?
12 sec, keep tryin'..... [Tooth]
it's frikin' impossible!! [Rant2] (still trying)
30 Sec here. Maybe this motivational picture will help?Quote:

11 sec is my best if I skip the "safety check".

ETA who told you that it's 9 sec?
Also wasn't stripping the bolt...
26 sec... I give up.
why would you need to do that?
I haven't tried. highly doubt I could even come close to 9 sec.
My Army "Soldiers Handbook" from basic training in 1985, and the issue I have on .PDF from 1999, make no mention of a time requirement for field stripping the M16.
The soldier must demonstrate the ability to disassemble, reassemble and function check the weapon, but there is not a time requirement.
A “GO” or “NO GO” is based off demonstrating the task, and performing it correctly.
Holy crap that girl was good! I don't think I could compete with that.
I told ya...Quote:

ETA Her father should buy her a better gun...
Unfortunately, she's got a big problems with limp wristing with all those jams, but thats awesome she's starting at an early age.
I had the same problem with my kids with my Beretta 92FS, my Mini-14, and my Colt AR when they were younger and smaller. It seemed to be a combination of not enough strength and not enough body weight. Semi-auto's have to have something solid to buck against function properly.
That young girl has really got it going on. I just wish she were 5-6 yrs older and lived in Colo Spr. That is exactly the kind of girl I want my son to date and eventually marry!
[NOTE: All firearms mentioned above were sadly lost in a tragic boating accident.]
on a good day I can get my safe open to get the AR in under a minute. Then I have to get my custom AR tool aka 1 piece Wolf .223 ( in a different safe) and then I can start strippin'. So I would put the whole job into the 10 minute range. [ROFL1]
nevermind
I think it was 30 seconds to take it apart and put it back together. We were timed. Handguards, bolt etc. With no sissy handguard tool [ROFL1]
