The M16 Assault rifle came into service in 1962 to replace the M1 Garand and other types of single automatic rifle. The M16 has a direct gas impingement system, meaning, after the firing pin hits the the primer and the bullet is sent down the barrel, propellent gas builds up behind the bullet and then is siphoned into the gas tube and sent back to the bolt carrier. After the bullet is shot the bolt moves back and and compresses the buffer spring as small as it can and then picks up the next bullet. Empty, the M16 weighs about 6 pounds,roughly 39 inches long. It can roughly shoot about 650-750 rounds per minute. With a sight that extends to 500m the most effective shot at the farthest distance would be around 460m.

Diamond makes various arguments about diseases. The argument he makes that I will mention is that deadly disease came from Europe and spread to other places killing people that were unfamiliar with the disease. This is a good point that he makes, and the example he uses helps support his argument. His example is that smallpox came to the Aztecs from Europe. This disease killed a lot of Aztecs because they were unfamiliar with the disease, and because of that they couldn’t cure themselves or others. When I read this I knew there were way more diseases that could of killed the Aztecs. With this argument and example I did some research. For this topic I will argue against Diamond’s argument using valid information.…

In Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond is the response to a question Diamond had been asked by a New Guinean politician, Yali, in 1972. The question was, “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people have little cargo of our own?” This refers to the inequality between many different civilizations, quite like how Europeans developed great objects and wealth that they used to dominate over other societies. Diamond begins to wonder why that is, “Why did human development proceed at different rates on different continents?” Before explaining possible answers, Diamond clarifies that his book isn’t to justify European domination of other civilizations nor does the answer take a European historic approach.
