This video debunks a common misconception about the "M" in US military firearm designations like the M16 and M4. Contrary to popular belief, and despite claims by some gun control proponents online, the "M" does not stand for "military." Instead, Brownells Gun Techs™ Caleb and Steve explain that "M" actually stands for "model," meaning M16 simply refers to Model No. 16. The video also briefly touches on the "AR" in AR-15, clarifying it stands for "Armalite Rifle" and not "assault rifle." This is presented as a myth-busting segment.
