TM 9-1005-249-10 C1 HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON, DC 20 March 1979
OPERATOR'S MANUAL M16A1 RIFLE
TM 9-1 005-249-1 0, April 1977, is changed as follows:
DANGEROUS PROCEDURES
• Be sure the cam pin is installed in the bolt group. If it isn't, your rifle can still fire, but it could possibly explode, causing you harm.
• If you're using the blank ammo attachment, don't use any other ammo except the blank round, M200.
• DO NOT exchange or switch bolt assemblies from one M16A1 to another ••• It could cause damage to both you and the rifle.
• If your rifle stops firing wlrh a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel, remove the round fast. However, during training, if you cannot remove it within 10 seconds, wait 15 minutes with the rifle pointing in a safe direction. This way you won't get hurt by a possible ammo cook-off, which could happen 10 seconds after contact with a hot chamber.
• Use only authorized ammo that is manufactured to U. S. specs.
