The Mk4 Mod0 was a variant of the M16 rifle that was modified for use by Navy SEALs in Vietnam. The rifles had a corrosion resistant coating inside and out, in addition to O rings in the buffer tube and drain holes in the weapon to let water drain.
HISTORY
Navy SEALs used their own specialized variant of the M16A1 Assault Rifle, the Mk4 Mod 0. Like the Stoner 63, the M16 was designed by Eugene Stoner and, unlike the Stoner 63, became one of the most widely produced firearms in world history. After extensive testing and debate in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Air Force and Army officially adopted the M16 as a jungle warfare weapon. Using the 5.56mm NATO round, the M16 was an impressive and innovative lightweight weapon capable of accurately delivering high velocity rounds at a relatively high rate of fire.
The Mk 4 Mod 0 was optimized for the amphibious and maritime operations of the SEALs. Most of the operating components of the weapon were coated in Kal-Gard and a small quarter inch hole was drilled in the buffer assembly to allow water drainage out of the weapon’s stock. This allowed the Mk 4 Mod 0 to survive depths of approximately 200 feet of water. The weapon also mounted a Mk 2 Mod blast suppressor as a standard component of the firearm. Based on the HEL (Human Engineering Lab) Mk4 suppressor, the Mk 2 Mod 0 suppressor, in addition to dampening the weapon’s noise, drained water faster than other suppressors while still allowing automatic and semi-automatic fire. These modifications armed SEALs with a powerful and specialized standard firearm in which to conduct their covert missions.
