Edit on GitHub

The M16A4 is a burst-fire assault rifle utilizing 5.56mm ammunition. It was added to the game in the v0.5.0 "Locked & Loaded" update on June 24, 2023.

Background

The M16 series of rifles is based off of the larger AR-10 series of rifles, both designed by Eugene Stoner in the late 1950s. It replaced the heavier M14 rifle as the primary infantry rifle and was designed around the brand-new 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. The M16 family of rifles and its variants see use in many militaries, police, and security forces around the globe. Learn more about the M16A4 here.

Strategies

Using

• The M16 is a very strong weapon due to its quick fire rate, accuracy, and high damage.
• The burst feature allows you to output high amounts of damage and recede quickly, which means the M16A4 can stand up to guns like the MCX Spear.
• Make use of prediction and tracking to the best of your ability, especially at longer ranges.
• This weapon pairs well with a shotgun such as the M3K.

Countering

• Hide behind cover and take short opportunities to chip away at the opponent's health.
• If approaching, make sure that you strafe as much as you can to throw off your opponent's shots.
  • Once at close range, use a high-DPS weapon like a shotgun or SMG to kill the M16A4 user.

Obtaining

• The M16 is a rare weapon, being as rare as the ARX-160, MCX Spear and the Flues. Thus, it is best obtained from rare loot sources like Flint or AEGIS Crates.

Trivia

• There are currently 8 million M16s in the world.
• Eugene Stoner also designed the SR-25 and the Stoner 63.
• The M16A4 is the fourth iteration of the M16 series.
  • The M16A4 in-game is a Safe/Semi/Burst international export version produced by Colt, with the code RO905 or R0905.
