[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 919530, member: 204"] I think that what he does not understand is that there are always vets who say they have seen or were issued a Mattel M16, yet Mattel never made any M16's. Mattel themselves have said they didn't make them. Mattel never even had a military contract for any of the plastic parts on an M16. The only makers of M16's during the Vietnam era were Colt, Harrington & Richardson and Hydramatic. Since that time FN has also made them and Balimoy has made some replacement receivers. I have worked for the Army Ordnance Corp here at Fort Sill for 25 years and I have never seen one. The only thing Mattel made that was close to an M16 was a toy; [attach=full]71132[/attach] Here is a photoshop of a "Mattel" M16 if it makes you feel better: [attach=full]71133[/attach] Here is the Kentucky Fried Chicken M16 too: [attach=full]71134[/attach] [/QUOTE]
