The M16A1 is the standard assault rifle for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. Its design reduced the caliber size from the M14 rifle, allowing soldiers to carry more ammunition. The M16A1 extensively uses aluminum alloys and plastics, making it a relatively light weapon. It fires 5.56x45mm ammunition and has a 20-round clip. This rifle sees intense action in Vietnam, serving as the counterpoint to the AK-47.

Obtained: Soviet Patrol Base Report 1; soldiers carry them.

Tips
  • The M16A1's lighter weight allows you to carry more ammunition compared to heavier rifles.
  • Its 20-round clip is standard for assault rifles, but be mindful of your ammo count during prolonged engagements.
