The M16 Assault Rifle is a two-handed military rifle that fires 5.56x45mm rounds. It trains the Aiming skill. It feeds from a 30 round M16 Magazine, the largest magazine of any gun.
It can switch between single shots and automatic fire. On automatic it can clear a crowd faster than almost any other gun, though it burns through ammunition quickly. It works best in the hands of a skilled shooter. The M16 Assault Rifle is a rare find, and it turns up inside rifle cases. The Police Officer is the best occupation for firearms. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.
Combat
The M16 Assault Rifle reaches 30 tiles. Each hit deals between 1 and 1.6 damage. The crit chance starts at 20 percent, and a crit deals four times the damage. Shots pierce through zombies and can hit up to two at once.
The fire mode is chosen from the right-click menu on the rifle. Single Fire shoots once per trigger pull. Auto Fire keeps shooting while the trigger is held, with no recoil delay between shots. Automatic fire jams more often than other firearms, and racking the rifle clears a jam.
The rifle is hard to use well at low Aiming levels, and an Aiming level of 7 or more is recommended. A skilled shooter spends far fewer rounds per kill. The Aiming skill raises its accuracy and crit chance as it levels. For thinning out a large crowd, only shotguns compete with it.
Uses
The M16 Assault Rifle attaches to the back slot, which cuts its carried weight. With a screwdriver it accepts attachments through the Upgrade option. A x2 Scope or a x4 Scope extends its firing range. A Laser Sight raises its hit chance by 5. A Red Dot Sight speeds up aiming.
Repair
The M16 Assault Rifle has 10 condition. Each shot has a 1 in 200 chance of taking a point off. The Aiming and Maintenance skills lower that chance further. Heavy automatic fire still wears it down, simply because so many rounds pass through it. A second M16 Assault Rifle can repair it at Aiming 5. Each repair restores less condition than the one before.
Locations
The M16 Assault Rifle is a rare find. It spawns inside rifle cases, which hold one fairly often when they appear. Military locations are the best places to look for those cases and for 5.56x45mm ammunition.
