Gameplay

• Can be fired in a 3-round burst or semi-automatic.
• The sights for the M16A2 are the carrying handle iron sight and the 3×20 (3×) Optic sight.
  • The carry handle iron sight allows the user to zero the rifle for different ranges (from 100m to 400m).
  • The 3×20 (3×) Optic allows the user to see enemies from long distances easily and engage enemies at longer ranges without the need to zero the weapon.
• M16A2 is a well-balanced weapon with adequate damage, effective range, and bullet dispersion performance.
• M16A2 shares its damage model and ballistic performance with M4, M4A1, and M16A4.
  • The 833 rounds per minute rate of fire sits above average for most automatic weapons. It can output serious firepower in close-quarter combat. However, the fire mode is limited to burst-fire and semi-automatic only.
• M16A2 is classified in-game as Full-Length Rifle. Full-Length Rifles have increased standing sway while offering better crouch/prone position stability in handling.
  • They output regular suppression effects, are slightly hard to point fire, and are effective at medium to long ranges.

History
