The reviewer highlights its authentic XM16E1 style receivers, 20-inch 5.56x45 chrome-lined barrel with a 1-12" twist, 3-prong flash hider, and period-correct furniture. The video emphasizes the rifle's historical significance, fun shooting experience, smooth recoil impulse due to its rifle-length gas and buffer system, and impressive accuracy.

This video showcases a "retro" loadout for the 2019 North Carolina Tactical Games, centered around a Brownell's Retro Clone of the M16E1, predating the M16A1. The presenter highlights their gear choices, including a Springfield Armory 1911A1 pistol, a Chase Tactical LVPC plate carrier, and M-56 web gear. While acknowledging that the older gear provided no advantage and fostered an appreciation for modern equipment, the presenter emphasizes the fun and competitive spirit of The Tactical Games.
This video covers Day 2 of The Tactical Games in North Carolina from 2019. The competition included an early morning 5-mile ruck run with 45-50lb packs, followed by three additional "Battles" or stages. The competitor, Kit Badger, utilized a Brownell's Retro M16E1 rifle and a 1911A1 pistol, equipped with M-56 web gear and jungle boots. He finished 18th out of 40 athletes in the Elite Division, noting his gear was somewhat behind the "power curve."
This video offers a first look at the Brownell's Retro M16E1 Clone rifle, taking it to the range for an initial test. The reviewer notes the fun factor, especially with 20-round magazines, and describes shooting it with Runenation's Cold Start, zeroing with Minuteman Munitions 55gr, and testing at 50 and 200 yards on a TA Targets silhouette. The video also introduces the Chase Tactical LVPC (Low-Visibility Plate Carrier) with Level 4 standalone plates, highlighting its features. The reviewer plans to provide full reviews of both items after more range time. The loadout includes a Gunfighter Research t-shirt and Prometheus Design Werx pants.
