Where can i find a m16 in Original game

[OKOK]

i had been to Amy base near Rosewood, Police stations, Valley Station's hunting lodge and shooting range and checkpoint near to Louisville. Not a single M16 OMG

I think it only spawns in "military" areas or safe houses, maybe at a gun store?

The Rosewood Army base isn't a good spot for weapons in my experience. There are a couple checkpoints along the fencing for the exclusion zone, I'd check all those. There's also a section of houses in the burned out city along the fenceline which were taken over by the army, might be a good place to check. They're inside fencing, so you'll have to get in from the main camp area and follow the fence "tunnel"

I always find them in the checkpoints. In the armory tent and the shipping container next to it. Plus a ton of ammo in all the footlockers.

sad i checked those and only get ammo for m16. zero rifle

It's a pretty rare item, if it's any consolation in the base game it's reliability it woeful and IMHO it's not really worth it.

It seem the A12 shotgun mod replaced the M16. I found lots of A12. Strange.

Yesterday I brought over 150kg in weapons and ammo from the hunting section of the farm &rural supply in Ekron.

I got shotguns, assault rifles, rifles, revolvers and pistols, and boxes upon boxes of ammo. I have the Firearms B41 mod, but it in principle (it was one of the reasons I dropped Britta's) it follows vanilla spawn rules.

Edit: Loot was at default's apocalypse settings.

i think m16 only spawns after a while, cant remeber the exact time, but something like
few weeks/1 month.

I do have to say that I was at 1 month and 15 days approx. in my game.
