Every single M-16 I ever fired had that characteristic, and the Army even had a brass deflector that you could attach to solve the problem. There were never enough to go around, and you couldn't use it with a NVS attached or if you happened to be firing a 16 with the M-203 Grenade Launcher attached, so most people just got used to the "friendly fire" of hot casings.
