Need help writing paper on the M-16s early "teething" problems
So I need help writing a paper for my college US History class. We were allowed to pick a subject given a few broad topics and I thought I'd write something about the M-16s initial problems when it was rushed into service into Vietnam. I just read "The Gun" by C.J. Chivers about the development and history of the AK and it has quite a bit about the early M-16 failures, so I thought it would be an interesting subject to cover in this class. Anyway, I'm looking for other books I can use for research and it's bibliography as it seems the professor cares more about citations than content. I need 7 sources to reference, but 2 can be online. I've already got two, "The Gun" and "The Black Rifle" by Stevens and Ezell, so can you guys help me out with the other 5? What books have you Guys read that covered this subject, maybe even a little. Is the "M16/AR15 Rifle (A Shooter's and Collector's Guide)" any good? How about historical websites? I just found out today that our bibliography is due on this Wednesday (FML) so I'm kinda scrambling right now.
Thanks in advance!
