Hi all,read the topic and u can guess wat i'm tokin bout.Read from some book in the library (during Vietnam war,Chartered Industries produced 5.56cal. rounds were so efficient and the Aussies bought 3,000,000 rounds and not a single stoppage,and were much of the American's envy)and during this yr's AOH that the ammunition manufactured by SAF will fire each and everytime.
However,found that this isn't true.Fired M-16 and that had a no. of times where is due to ammunition problem.Please share your experience.

You may find the fact that our Rifles might have come from USMC base Da Nang, South Vietnam pertinent to the massive amount of IA.
Which in other words their old enough to be our fathers.
I cannot answer for you whether or not CIS produced 5.56 ball/tracer factory ammunition is faulty or not, as we are not given the chance to use ammo produced elsewhere, like Winchester, or Remington for instance.
But logically, whether or not your weapon fires depends on three things.
Weapon - is it maintained?
Ammo - is it in good condition?
Magazine - is it properly seated? Feed lips bent?
You get the idea.
