Somehow the 10% of the Army personnel that are left-handed manage to train and qualify with the M16. The modern versions with the integral brass deflector make it easier. When I went through Basic Training the lefties were issued these plastic things that snapped on the side of the rifle. But that's pre-M16A2.
