In 1955, the American scientist Eugene Stoner designed the armalite weapon and designed it from two weapons: a Swedish weapon (AG42) and a US weapon (GRAND M1).

He then sent the weapon to South Vietnam in 1961 for experimentation. (M16A1). The US Army changed its weapon in 1966 from (M14) to (XM16A1) by changing the name of the weapon only and called it (M16A1).
In early 1980, the US Army modified the weapon and called it M16A2. In 1982, the US Army changed to M16A2 and entered the first experiment in 1989 in the Panama War.
