M16 - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

M16 is the only assault rifle that benefits from all its attachments

[@Dr.Deluxe]

@@myusername3689 nah even then it still takes awhile to kill. Plus the range on the flamethrower is really short. Only time I've been able to use it effectively is in hardcore as most opponents can gun yah down before the flamethrower kills them especially if they're running an SMG or Shotgun

[@NotTheRookie]

The model depicted in game is actually more based on the earlier Colt 602 model as opposed to the M16A1. You can tell from the 3-prong flash suppressor as opposed to the A1's "birdcage" style flash suppressor. The other indicators are on the right side so you can only see them from the 3rd person perspective. These indicators are the lack of forward assist, and lack of "fencing" around the magazine release (to reduce the chance of it being inadvertently pressed).

[@MadChristoph]

Yet it's supposed to have 20 rounds not 30, and functions as an M16A2/A4

The bolt carrier isn't chromed and the auto sear pin's missing; a Colt SP1 (R-6000) could've been the model basis after appearing among the image search results for "Vietnam M16"

[@ibuildcircuits]

Three round burst is still technically considered fully automatic.

[@JSpLinteR459]

ibuildcircuits maybe so but the fact that I have to keep pulling the trigger to fire the gun as opposed to holding down the trigger is frustrating, especially because of the lousy hit detection online.

[@jason1182000]

Even worse that the M16 used in Vietnam was full auto and the M16 introduced with burst appeared on the scene in 1986

[@FalconsPOWN2]

I think Treyarch saw what Infinity Ward did with the M16 and wanted to keep the gun within it's reputation. OR it was done to balance out the damage,range and accuracy.

[@jason1182000]

When first starting the game I instantly abandoned the M16, just like you've stated here. Totally accurate assessment. Then when I came to unlock the G11 and really did well with it, I revisited the M16 and it's become my favorite weapon, in terms of challenge, feel, accuracy and pure beastly power. No other gun holds a candle to it. If I'm getting handed rushing with it, then I just resort to damage control over a little area and mow through everyone. A great connection is a must, however.

One misconception about the rifle during Vietnam: the reliability issues. They were due in part to the fact that service members weren’t issued the proper ammo and the first supply of rifles weren’t issued cleaning kits due to a huge misconception about them being self cleaning rifles.

[@redtra236]

The black ops 1 M16 has the outward appearance of the XM16E1 not the M16A1. 3 prong flash hider is the giveaway the M16A1 had a birdcage. That said both are full auto/semi only in real life.

[@damienairalay552]

Thanks. But everyone here can also access Wikipedia. Lol

[@TheSundayShooter]

There isn't a forward assist modeled, so it's not the XM16E1 (earliest Colt 603) nor M16A1 (latest Colt 603). Due to logistical constraints, you could expect *Colt 601* or *Colt 602* components remaining in circulation

They said "We can't pass up the opportunity of having Vietnam-era 20 rounders, but we don't want to make the AR-15 weapons sucky, so we're compromising" I think they should've added an attachment which lowers your capacity but speeds up your reloads, weapon switch and maybe ADS.

[@weakestlink20]

Treyarch didn't make a good call making the M16 the beginner assault rifle. It is anything but versatile, as it's the least versatile assault rifle in Black Ops. It is terrible in CQC, and is a long range specialist weapon. I'm not saying it's a bad weapon, as it is a force to be reckoned with at range with an ACOG Scope, but for players that are just starting the game, the Enfield is a much more suitable beginner-friendly weapon. The M16 is anything but well-rounded, and requires a smart player to lean into its niche and know how to compensate for its short range deficiency. The M16 gaining 100 centerspeed from the ACOG Scope is so incredibly helpful, it makes the rifle much more accurate while giving you a long-range optic, ideal for the exact range of engagements the M16 excels at. I think the MTAR being the beginner assault rifle in BO2 is proof that Treyarch learned their lesson.

[@edurmissa]

M16 became my 2nd favorite assault rifle mainly because I was dumb and didn't know (as at the time I didn't speak english) prestige was a fking crap that restart all my weapon list so I had to farm points to get my AK-47, and M16 was there as default, so I play it a lot and find out how well it can be, I like its iron sight, but ACOG is probably the only assault rifle that goes well with it and reloads the fastest among assault rifles so it can be useful for offensive.

[@MidasTT]

To counter the M-16's weakness up close I use tomahawks, other wise our classing is identical

[@justinreyez5561]

use to run this with acog and suppressor back in the day...set up was so good only class i spawned tons of copycats

[@operatorchicken1081]

Best burst fire weapon ever For those M16 users, I don't recommend using the suppressor on the Assault rifle because burst fire weapons are ment only for medium to long range combat but if you attach the suppressor to it, then it's a one burst kill in close range that is if you only get all three shots to the target

[@spulbex5105]

The M16A1 should not be burst fire anyway. Also the carrying handle is fixed. Why can you put optics on it?

[@operatorchicken1081]

Spulb Agreed, because the A2 variant is actually the burst fire one. For the A4 variant, I'm not sure if you can select it to burst fire mode.

[@Prowbar]

Magazine size is odd too. It has a 30 round capacity while using 20 round mags.

[@Dylanhottfire]

SpulbEx the M16A2 (which is the model used in Vietnam and this game) only has semi-auto and burst fire options. It also had a 20 round box magazine

[@VEVOsux123]

I think "more accuracy" would be a given as far as an assault rife is concerned... besides burst fire M16's (M16A2, and later M16A4) didn't find their way into use until the 1980's, after Vietnam. The M16A1 used in Vietnam was semi or fully automatic only

[@goodluckwithallthat]

Yeah totally, that's how I roll with the M16, too. M16 is my fav weapon in blops 1, no doubt about it. Also, the rhythm with it is just too cool. It feels like you can strut around the maps like your jiving out to a soul r&b song, or something. Its' freaking awesome.

Nor did it have a rail to mount optics onto it. You wanted an optic you taped it onto the carrying handle.

[@phi_the_whingy]

I think that instead of taking hardened, you should take warlord for the second attachment. That way you can equip the masterkey & the ACOG scope so you can potentially be effective at all ranges.

@Brawlmaster1997 The Colt Commando was officially named the CAR-15, The Commando was an M16 with a much shorter (11.5 inch barrel) compared to the M4 with a 14.5 inch and an M16 with an even larger barrel (20 inch). It is exactly the same apart from the barrel.

How do you fit 30 rounds in a 20-round mag? Why do so many games get that wrong?! BrainBread got that wrong too, but it's a mod (not that that's an excuse). Anyway, in Borderlands 1, the closest comparable rifle to the classic M-16 is the Dahl Intense Cobra with barrel5, body5, stock5, sight2 or better, material3 (which is desert camo for Dahl), and an 18-round base mag capacity (the alternative being 12 which is lame, as if 18 wasn't lame enough).

[@tobos8909]

It makes sense once you know the M16's history; The M16A2, the first burst fire variant, wasn't introduced until the 1970s, the variant seen in Black Ops is the Automatic M16A1. The M16 in Multiplayer would seem redundant among the Enfield, Galil, AK-47 and Commando, creating an abundance of similarly performing, medium fire rate assault rifles, so it adopted the characteristics of the A2 for the sake of variety

no, recoil and center speed are two different entities; each gun has recoil, which is the amount that the gun kicks in any given direction from a single shot. Center speed, however, is how quickly the gun resettles into the center of the screen (i.e. center speed).

[@StrunDoNhor]

The M16 was likely made a burst fire weapon in MP in order to preserve weapon variety: - 2 jack of all trades weapons, the Commando and AK47. - 2 bullet hoses, the FAMAS and AUG. - 2 semi auto rifles, the M14 and FN FAL. - 2 burst fire rifles, the M16 and G11. - 2 "specialty" weapons, the Enfield (superior ADS) and Galil (superior capacity).

My recommended attachments for the M16 is Dual Mags and ACOG with the sacrifice of using Warlord

[@brainwasher9876]

my point is that with the holo, the M16 has so little recoil that it can easily put three rounds on target at all but the most extreme (like, across wasteland extreme) distances, while even the FAMAS may struggle with that. Scavenger has numerous bonuses over sleight of hand, such as infinite claymores and stuns. Users of the FAMAS wanting will either have to miss out on this advantage or cope with the FAMAS' lethargic reload.

@Moey 2moey people still start fist fights debating this, but the idea behind 5.56x45 is that it destabilizes and tears it's self apart, effectively exploding inside the target. 7.62x39 has a more reliable ballistic effect, but at specific distances 5.56x45 causes nightmare wounds. As in tearing water melon sized chunks out of someone.

[@Qew1601]

nobody should debate this , it base on personal skill

[@Elfandspartan]

Hitting your target is based on skill, what the bullet dose upon hitting a target has to do with physics and engineering. In addition, people have their preferences for one or the other and will argue themselves blue over which they think is better.

[@Disembow1280]

@desertboy7212 The a1 model, yes. Every model after that had 30 rounds. Although this m16 has the outward design of the a1 model, the weapon only has the 3-round burst setting of the a2 model, which had a 30 round magazine. Boom. If you doubt me, it's all in the video.

[@seeker7780]

Try this class: M16 w/ ACOG for long distance firefights and double pythons for secondary ( you should find that steady aim is not necessary for close range encounters! ).

[@Akhi11eus]

I looked around and i think the gun i was thinking of is the SIG SG552 Commando which was a carbine made in the late 90s by Sig Sauer, a German firearms company. The H&K gun i was getting it mixed up with was probably the H&Km416, which bears more resemblance to the commando in BO, but was made after the cold war era.

[@VCBird6]

Yep, I just think when players first picked the game up, the lure of full-auto fire was too great, and they abandoned the M16 for the Enfield, Galil, Famas, and so forth It's the ones that persevered with the M16 and know how to use it (as you said) that are the bane of automatic rifle users (and I think the auto rifle users rag on it because they HATE it when someone with the M16 is mowing them down from medium-long range and there's nothing they can do to stop them short of a sniper rifle)

[@justahyundai]

@jacobwritz I find that the M-16's iron sights are not necessarily "superior", to, let's say, the flip-up M4 Carbine's sights, but I find that the unique design of the M-16's frontal tip helps to aim more accurately in mid to close range. ACOG isn't a good attachment for it or the M4, though the M16 is better due to the burst action instead of automatic fire. I think the M68 CCO (close combat Optic) is really the best optic to use since it is great close range while providing decent aim.

[@DKenobi1]

@TheKripox You realize you're thinking of short-range performance? The M16 with ACOG or IR Scope is the best defensive weapon, with the Red Dot, Reflex or underbarrel attachments doing superb in middlerange roles.

[@pooleyB96]

Speaking from experience, Hardened Pro + M16 is a powerful combination indeed. I understand the logic of Steady Aim and certainly helps the weakness of the M16's burst fire but Hardened Pro greatly supports the M16's solid strengths in power and precision. Play to the weapon's strengths.

[@brainwasher9876]

I understand you now, although ADS means aim down sight. It has nothing to do with recoil. For the M16, I'm fairly certain that due to the increased kick of the ACOG, the corresponding center speed should be slower as in previous call of duty titles, though I don't know how the M16's center speed corresponds with other guns' ACOG center speed.

[@TheMuncyWolverine]

4:55 - 45 rounds is better than 30 however, and you may find yourself needed the extra firepower. Then he proceeds to run his extended magazine dry killing people. I LOVE how he says something than SHOWS YOU in his clips what he means.

[@rapcorerocks]

You don't need to buy the gun, it's unlocked by default.

[@VCBird6]

Dual Mags for extra ammo and a quick reload, and ACOG for longer distance accuracy ACOG also REDUCES recoil on this gun, rather than increasing it on others...whether that's a bug or intentional, I dunno, but I take advantage of it! Pair it with an RPG and Flak Jacket for close/medium distance combat plus sticky grenades for clearing rooms and motion sensors for keeping people from sneaking up on you Kilstreaks: RC-XD, Gun Turret, and Napalm Works for me *shrugs* ^^;

[@kpz1234]

Cracks me up how two guns firing the same round do different damage.

[@brainwasher9876]

It requires a two burst kill for almost all ranges (since only rarely is it possible to guarantee a burst where all three bullets hit). Killing in two bursts means that the M16 is THE slowest killing weapon in the game bar pistols at long range. There's a reason why no one uses this gun in Black Ops.

[@OMGisnipedU]

@IRLSM1337ful actually no, the first variants were 3 round burst. The only full auto version of the M16 was the A3 variant.
