No M16 in this game!?

[Jazo]

It's only me, or this game needs the M16... All Rifleman slot is M4, they can replace the M4 without optic for the M16 right?...

The Americans in this game currently are from the US Army, who's primary weapon is the M4 and its few variants; the Army from my knowledge barely uses the M16 if at all anymore, so you're probably not going to see them in game for US Army units. If you want to see the M16 and its variants for the Americans you'll have to wait for the implementation of the US Marine Corps., which still fields mostly the latest model of the M16 as its primary weapon.

For other forces out there, such as insurgents who use older M4s, you could see older M16 models. The coming British forces aren't going to use them since M4s/M16s are barely used anymore compared to their current standard weapon, the SA80. Until future factions are added, this is what we can really go with for the time being.

Now they could add the M16 in general as a side option (offering either M4s or M16s for example), but I can't see that happening until the devs decide to overhaul the classes more. That, or we will have to wait until mods are implimented into the game; but if it's anything like other games, they're just gonna be skins and sounds unless other mod features im ignorant of are available.

The only people who use the M16 are reserve, natl guard, or Marines lol. Trust me I know.

Mods are overhauls of something. Mod for this kind of game is going to be something that changes animation recoil sound accuracy and so on (for weapons) in other instances it may be something like new faction (you have french one being developed and they have FAMAS that is gun being built from ground up). But i get your reasoning some moders can only reskin M4 into M16 because it is easy to do it and rarely anyone will even notice that.

Honestly, I thought the Marine Corps was switching out their M16's for M4's anyway.

they could be, as far as i know the army gets the newer weapons before the marines do, after a while the marines get the samething that the army has

[ccc]

Militia should be able to get M16

[Blackveiled]

The only time I ever saw an M16 in the Army was during BCT, the active units had M4s, and the very few M16s that we did have, went to support.

There is a big failure in what you are saying. There is a map called Basrah which indicates the game is supposed to be during the Iraq war, during this war, the US ARMY did use the M16 ( A LOT ).

well youre wrong so i dont trust you ol' sangin valley guy

[Dvsilverwing ♥♡]

I'd rather see an oldschool M16 for the Militia than the M4. A2 or maybe even an A1, it'd especially help distinguishing the report of gunfire on Mil vs. US maps.

lots of marines hate the m4 because is a damn CARBINE not a RIFLE. There's a huge difference between a 14 inch barrel and a 18-20 inch barrel. The 5.56mm was designed to be shot from a large and heavy barrel to keep a good VELOCITY which = more damage/lethal.
unless you use a 77 grain bullet with fancy gunpowder the m4 is pretty much useless (and still is a carabine so passing 300 meters it wont be as lethal unlike the m16a4 which is acccurate and lethal at 600 meters).

It's like a 200feet per second difference, it's far from useless
