About the M16
Standard service rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces. Fires a 3-round burst. With the Stopping Power perk, this rifle is pretty much a guaranteed one-burst kill if you can land all three shots on your target. Definitely not recommended for the aggressive, run-and-gun player, but one of the deadliest guns in the game for those who like to hang back a little and engage in medium-long range fire.
Unlocked: Level 1. (Assault Rifle Class) M16 PerksThese Perks will help compensate for the M16's weaknesses.
