Question Ball vs Extruded powder.......

......in a semiauto. If I remember correctly, the U.S. army had problems with the M16 in Vietnam jamming due to a problem with powder, and switched to the other type.....does anyone know if was ball and then they switched to extruded, or vice versa? Also, did this have any impact on any other gas operated semiauto or full auto firearms, such as the M-14? Thanks in advance.
