The M16 rifle family was developed by American company ArmaLite, stemming from Eugene Stoner's design for a new generation battle rifle - the AR-10 in 7.62 calibre. By 1957, the US Army's needs had shifted and they were now looking for a weapon in the lighter 5.56 by 45 millimetre intermediate calibre - and thus the ArmaLite AR-15 was born - a smaller, lighter variant of the earlier AR-10. The first military variant of the AR-15, eventually known as the M16A1, first saw service in Vietnam, 1963 - and despite some faltering first steps with regard to maintenance and reliability, the M16 rifle remains in service today, albeit through a number of revisions and improvements. The most recent version, the M16A4, dates to 1996 - and is standard front-line issue for the US Marine Corps and some US Army Units. In-game, the M16A4 is a relatively high damage weapon which fires a three-round burst. The burst weapons tend have the advantage if the first burst kills, but lose this advantage if multiple bursts are required, due to the firing delay in-between each. Compared to the FAMAS, the M16A4 suffers at long range due to a quicker damage drop-off and higher recoil - but has better handling characteristics, including a faster reload and switch time. The fast reload of the M16A4 means that Sleight of Hand, while still beneficial, isn't critical to this weapon. Sleight of Hand suits aggressive tactics, firing from a mobile position - something that the burst weapons tend not so suit so well. Scavenger, then, can be a great alternative - particularly when paired with Claymores, as you'll be able to hold down a location with two entrances and have sufficient ammunition with Scavenger Pro to last for a quite a while. Bling is also a viable route with the M16 - the holographic paired wit
