LfIITED RANGE TEST OF THE 16 RIFLE WITH EIGHT TYPES OF RIFLE AND HAND GRENADES by Dewey E. Calfee

FOREWORD Detachment!I, Research and Technology Division, directed and monitored this test of the MI16 rifle using standard Army-type rifle and hand grenades during October 1964. Manuscript was released December ±96i. While the test was arranged and monitored by Det 4, RTD personnel, the actual firings were accomplished and range test equipment was installed by personnel of the Small Arnus Marksmanship Training Unit, 44A,)Oth Combat Support Group, Special Air Warfare Center (TAO), Eglin AFB, Florida.

ABSTRACT Range tables have been constructed for eignt Army-type rifle and hand grenades fired from the M16 rifle. The range and time of flight were measured for launch elevation angles of 50 to 450. Final range data are the result of averaging the individual data points and compensating for wind effects. Tables are presented for the following grenades: MH2 Hand Grenade with MIA2 Adapter, M30 Hand Grenade with MIA2 Adapter, M31 Rifle Grenade, n354 Hand Grenade with MlA2 Adapter, M22A2 Rifle Grenade, M25 Rifle Grenade, M247 Rifle Grenade, mid the M7A1 CN Hand Grenade with M2AI Adapter. No breakage of component parts of the guns or gun stocks occurred during the tests. iii

SECTION I INTRODUCTION The ultimate purpose of the test discussed in this report was to establish range tables for the M16 rifle using standard Army-type hand and rifle grenades. The following discussion describes the manner in which test data were obtained, analyzed, and correlated to construct a table of range and time-of-flight at different launch elevation angles for several types of grenades. The cumpalibility of the M16 rifle with various Army-type grenades presently used with the M14 and Ml rifle was established during the tests conducted by OOAMA (OOYEC) at Hill AFB, Utah. During the Hill AFB tests, range data were obtained for elevation angles of 30* and 45'. The test at Eglin AFB provided range data at lower elevation angles. 1

SECTION II TEST SET-UP Firings were conducted at the Eglin AFB Auxiliary Field No. 9 ammunition disposal area. Using a transit, a straight line of fire vas established along which markers were placed at intervals of 50 ft. The rifle was firmly mrplaced with two stacks of sand bags; the hand guard rested on the front stack of bags and the butt plate was placed tightly against the rear stack. The bags were situated so as to obtain the desired rifle elevation angle. The elevation angle was measured by means of an inclinometer placed inside the, rifle muzzle. The rifle azimuth was checked by means of a plumb which was extended from the rifle to the line of fire marked on the ground. The rifle was held firmly in place and the elevation angle double-checked for each firing. The range to impact was measured with a steel tape. Measurements were made both in the direction of fire and laterally to each side of the line of fire. The time of flight for each grenade was measured with Rton watahes: Wind direction and magnitude were determined with a portable anemometer. 2

SECTION III TEST PROCEDURES AND RESULTS For all except the M34 WP hand grenade, the ground range to impact was measured directly with the steel tape. For the M21 and M30 practice hand grenades launched at high elevation angles, the flight time exceeded the fuze time, causing air bursts. For these grenades the impact angle was assumed equal to the launch angle. From an estimate of the height of the grenades at airburst and with the assumed impact angle, the increment in range from airburst to impact was computed. This distance was subtracted from the measured impact distance to obtain the range to airburst without wind direction. For the M34 WP grenade, the range beneath the airbursts was clearly indicated by an area of burned phosphorous. The M21 practice grenades air-burst zero to 20 ft high at 350 elevation and approximately 45 ft high at 450 elevation. The M50 practice grenade airburst zero to 50 ft high at 350 elevation and approximately 75 ft high at 450 elevation. The M34 WP hand grenade air-burst zero to approximately 15 ft high at 350 and 45' elevation. A minimum of five rounds of each type of grenade was fired at elevation angle of 5*, 15', 25', 35', and 450, with the exception of the M22 rifle grenade wlhh wnpa nnt fired at 159 and the M43 WP hand grenade which was not fired at elevation angles below 25%. An average was made of the range and the time of flight at each elevation angle. For most of the grenades fired, the deviation in range did not exceed 10% of the average range. The increment in range due to wind drift was determined by multiplying the approximate wind velocity by the average time of flight. This increment was then added or subtracted from the average measured range to obtain the range shown in Table III. The M34 WP grenade was not fired at angles below 250 due to the potential hazard to the firing personnel without protective cover. The ranges shown in the enclosed range table were computed theoretically for angles up to 25ý, and then correlated with the measured data. Table I shows the raw data as measured at the Eglin AFR test site. Table II presents a similar set of data obtained during the Hill APB tests. No wind data are available for the Hill AFB test. Table III presents the final correlated range data. It is noted that detonation did not occur for any of the MF51 HEAT grenades. At an elevation angle of 45* the grenades impacted at approximately 45O and buried approximately half the grenade length into damp, )

firm sand. At the very low angles the grenades slid along the ground, coming to rest at a range much larger than the impact ranges shown in Tables I and III. Examination of the data obtained by Hill AFB personnel indicated that no consistent variation in range was obtained when five different rifles were used during the test. Therefore, at the Eglin AFB tests, au attempt was made to identify a particular rifle with a series of firings. A total of 191 grenades were fired during the tests at Eglin APB. No breakage of component parts of the guns or gun stocks occurred. Although no consideration was given to the effect of rifle and cartridge temperature on grenade range, these effects might be of sufficient importance to warrant investigation.
