{"product_id":"9781616088644","title":"M16A1 Rifle","description":"The U.S. Army teamed up with cartoonist and graphic artist Will Eisner to produce teaching tools for U.S. soldiers in a medium that they could easily understand. The M16A1 Rifle: Operation and Preventive Maintenance, first printed in 1969, features a female narrator who instructs GIs on the proper care of their AR-15 (military name M16A1) rifles—firearms notorious for jamming and malfunctioning. More than a simple manual and step-by-step guide, this unconventional yet important military document tried to appeal to soldiers with suggestive chapter titles such as “How to Strip Your Baby,” “What to Do in a Jam,” “Sweet 16,” and “All the Way with Négligé.” A copy of the thirty-two-page booklet was issued to nearly every soldier serving in Vietnam.","brand":"Department of the Army","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46957490307390,"sku":"9781616088644","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781616088644_841f17b5-43d9-42c8-a0f3-98fcf152d422.jpg?v=1707569230","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781616088644","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
