M16A2

[VixenLeigh🦊]

Where is my glorious vintage M16A2 without all those fancy rails?

The A2 hasn't been a primary service rifle for quite a while. Some support companies still roll them but a modernly equipped unit typically won't field them as they would have A4s or other rifles available. Modders might put it in but I wouldn't expect it to make it into the base game.

The cia is giving you all in the money in the world, even supplying you with russian weapons, to outfit you and you want to use an outdated rifle?

Then why is there the Vintage FAL? It's just a game with like no story so why does it matter? Just saying if we can get a old FAL then why not an old M16A2?

See my point about the vintage FAL

[Bovril Brigadier]

Of all the M16 variants you pick the least popular one?

Because it's a Terrorist weapon they simply unlocked for players to use.

FN FAL was, at a point, only second to the AKM as the most prolific rifle around the world. The chance of it being an OPFOR weapon is reasonably high and would justify it being in the game.

As for a retro M16, I'd argue the M16A1 would be about as justified as the FN FAL under the same context.

So on the point of story, there will be. There is a campaign planned.

Major Fret is correct here in that the FAL falls under the OPFOR weapons. Often when overseas operations are conducted in country weapons are used for plausible deniability. I agree that there's potential for the M16A1 as an OPFOR weapon but I don't think the team is planning to expand too much more on the OPFOR side. Like I said originally it's very likely that sort of weapon would be added in by modders once the modding tools are available with the full release so I'd keep an eye on the workshop once it's available.

I know a lot of people really want the M16A1, including me. 70% of rounds I play I meet people who try and run Vietnam era kits and stuff like that so I wouldn't be opposed to them adding it. They could even make the A2 as like an "attachment" or something

[VixenLeigh🦊]

And I'm really confused why you guys are getting almost aggressive with this lol, I meant it as
a kind of joke. I was just pointing out it would be cool to have an A2 in game, and I am not the only one with this opinion.

If they do add workshop and modded guns I really hope they won't just be re-skins like Insurgency or at the very least find a way to make it so other players can see it. I was talking Scopey about the possibility of a P90 in the distant future and he said I'd have to wait for mods so I am hopeful this will be the case

I'll take anything from the Colt Commando/ CAR-15 family. (e.g. Colt Model 653, 727, 733)
