Good eye and it would make sense for a USAF machine. Incidentally here is some relevant footage:

Looking at the flash hider, odds are strong this could be a M16 (firts adopted by the USAF in 1964 without the bolt assist), not a M16A1.
That is the pilot with the M.16 and rear seat guy has the stick. One could actually fire from the smaller rear seat windows without danger of hitting the strut.
Boy I need my eyes checked. I must be dyslectic, I read M61 instead of M16That is the pilot with the M.16 and rear seat guy has the stick. One could actually fire from the smaller rear seat windows without danger of hitting the strut.

And while not see would normally carry two AIM7 in the aft sparrow wells as well as possibly one forward. She still carried an air to air bite.F-4G Wild Weasel loaded for bear over China Lake in 1981

Enemy my A$$, as the story be told, one took out the tail gun of a B-52G during the gulf war. As the story be told….If an enemy aircraft is equipped with radar then it's still within the Wild Weasel's remit

I've fired a M-16 a bunch, bad recoil isn't one of it's traits. About the only service rifle of it's era that had softer recoil might be the M1 Carbine.That recoil would be a bitch!
