M-16

"This long-range assault rifle is perfect for rapid fire and it has a large magazine to make for a well-rounded weapon."

The M-16 is an automatic assault rifle and is the primary weapon all players begin with in the Mean Greens. It is accessed by pressing 1 on the keyboard, and M1 to fire, or M2 to Aim Down the Sights.

When fired, it will shoot bullets at a rate of 10 rounds per second in an inaccurate cone, dealing 20 damage per bullet, with 50 shots in the magazine before a reload. Firing the weapon from ADS will increase the accuracy of shots. When reloading, the rifle has 450 ammunition in reserve, taking 1.5 seconds to reload. When all reserve ammo is used, it goes on a 20 second cooldown.

The M16 is generally a capable, useful weapon at all ranges and in all situations, with a large volume of fire, good damage output while spraying, more ammo than you will need, and just a close enough spread to make it viable from very far away. However, at long range when landing headshots the Sniper Rifle will have better damage and accuracy, at mid range the Bazooka will have much better damage and be easier to aim, and at close range the Shotgun will have much better damage and allow for agile dodging inbetween shots. So although the M16 is always useful, it is not always the best choice.

Its visuals are based on the M16 rifle commonly carried by real life toy soldiers, which was the US Army's adaption of the AR-15 assault rifle and was first used in the Vietnam War.
