I  n 1962 and 1963, Defense Secretary McNamara ordered 85,000 M16's for Vietnam, and 19,000 for the Air Force. Early reports showed that the M16 [we all know the M 16 is a Full Auto AR 15] was not living up to expectations. These reports, presented to McNamara by the Ordnance Department, showed the M16 having reliability and accuracy problems.
These reports in turn praised the Ordnance Department's own M14. [I guess beauracrats are the same today]
While the M14 performed well, it was too heavy for the hot jungles of Southeast Asia, and its ammunition also would not allow more than 50-100 rounds to be carried on patrols, severely limiting its capabilities as an automatic weapon.
Further evaluation of the M14 and M16 was done by an independent agency. It concluded that the AR-15 had greater capability for improvement, and that its small size and weight made it a handier weapon in Vietnam. https://www.vbd.com/noc/shop/products_detail.asp?CategoryID=89&ProductID=327This Patent Pending by VRI
