Training and perfection.
How long does it take a recruit to disassemble his M16? With foloow me instructions, 5-6 minutes.
How long does it take a seasoned soldier to disassemble his M16? Less than 1 minute.
Blindfolded you ask, average is 90 seconds.
Why? Training and perfection.
To proerly maintain sight position, and remain with-in sight aperture, the left hand holds the weapon steady, whilst the right rapidly runs the bolt, and cocking/safety feature (weapon dependent) reloaded and back on target in .5-.75 seconds. The exhale comes after round out, and inhale when eye is back on sight. That's 1 shot a second on a bolt action, with forced breathing.
Was not some of these weapons redesigned with the built in magazine well? As well as some being rechambered for different calibers?
I can only comment on training, and marksmenship. My limited knowledge of this weapon is just that!
