M16 Rifle 20rd Magazine
FSN
1005-056-2237
Throughout most of the Vietnam War the
M16 rifle
magazine had a capacity of twenty 5.56mm cartridges, however, a
thirty-round
version was introduced towards to the end of the conflict. The metal 20-round magazine weighed only 0.2lb when empty and 0.7lb when loaded.
Natick Labs specifically developed the
M1956
/
M1967 M16A1 cases
and the
Lightweight Ammunition Vest
for carrying the 20-round magazines, though riflemen in Vietnam also often used
bandoleers
and
canteen covers
etc.
