The flash supressor with the three prong was the M16 was the initial M16 and then an updated version had the newer flash suppressor--of course the Army had the updated version.

When the M16A2 came around in 86/87, the Corps got it first as they did the later A3 and A4.

We, the Corps, also received the Beretta before the Army.

One of my many MOSs included 2111 -Small Arms Repairmen
