M16A4

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.

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.
