Prior to 1967/68, the M16 was the US Army's "jungle rifle" and used specifically in South Vietnam. There was no qualification back then, the M14 was the standard US rifle. Prior to men shipping out for Vietnam up thru 1970, they "FAM Fired" (Familiarization firing) of the M16 jungle rifle. They QUALIFIED on the M14 service rifle.

After Vietnam, the US Military (Army & Marines) adapted the M16 jungle rifle as the new standard SERVICE RIFLE in about 1970/73; replacing the M14 rifle.

US Military personnel have to qualify on any "Standard" weapon that the military uses. It's part of their JOB to know how to safely use it. Qualification means exactly what it says; Qualified to use the weapon.

It a person cannot qualify, then they cannot qualify to be in the military...because then, they are NOT qualified to do their job.
