now i know the M4 is a lot more compact than the m16 as well a lot smaller lighter and easier to carry, thus making it ideal for close quarters combat and fighting in urban operations. HOWEVER the M16 (primarily the M16a3 and A4) are number 1. a lot more accurate, number 2 have longer range, as well as they pack much more of a punch with the 5.56 than the m4 does due to its longer barrel and higher muzzle velocity. and the thing with firing a substantially small round for an assault rifle is you need a rifle that is capable of firing it effectively enough so it can drop the enemy with 1 or 2 shots. and thats exactly what the m16 does, the m4 having a shorter barrel fires it with less ferocity thus making the initial wound as deadly as if i were fired from an m16. it also pierces body armor better than the m4 and is more reliable (m4 jams like a ***** from what i hear). so feel free to correct me if im wrong i’m just a die hard m16 fan and i think the US military is making a huge mistake by choosing to replace it with the m4.

How many more years do you think the US military will use the M16 as their primary rifle

Share This

I already got second perk which is sleight of hand and I want a assault rifle class which is good for close to mid range class. Or even long range. Anyways I only use the guns enfield, famas, and m16 because i like the beginning guns. Thanks!

I was wondering what the best gun so far at least is best to limit the use to even replace the M16/M4 Assault Rifle for the US Military. I know the XM8 Assault Rifle was stopped being developed in 2005. I also know that the SCAR-H/SCAR-L Assault Rifle is being tested or in somewhat to decent use by the US Army Ranger 75th Regiment. I know that the Bushmaster/Remington ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) is being developed ( at least that was what it said when I goolged searched several sites about the ACR at least a month ago) and might soon enter testing when completed if still being developed. Also I know there are other guns that might be tested and maybe come into limited use like maybe the M416 I think and that there is also the light machine gun in use by the US Military which I think is called the M249 Light Machine Gun.

P.S. can you tell me if the SCAR-H/SCAR-L is in use and if it is the US Army Ranger 75th Regiment offically using it and using it instead or the M16/M4 or at least around half and half for both guns and also can you tell me if the ACR is still being developed and if it is not being developed is it rejected and forgotten like the XM8 Assault Rifle or is it being tested and maybe in limited to decent usage by the US Military.

When the barrell gets shot out/worn out on an assault rifle like an M4 or M16, what gets replaced? Just the barrell, the whole upper reciever, other parts? How much of a pain in the ass is it?

Ive found a magazine drum box for the M16 that holds about 5000 rounds but nothing for the M85, anything larger than 50 would help. Thank you!

I am interested in buying an M16 or an AR-15. Where can you get an M16 or an AR15? can you get them at places like cabelas or can you just order them from colt direct to a nearby firearms dealer? what brand of ammo would you get for it? can you buy a military M16 from colt? what do you think is the one best attatchment (acsessory) you could put on it?

I know the military isn’t a video game… My whole family has been a part of it and my grandfather was a general so don’t act like I take it as a joke.. It was a question
And if you are fitted with the M16, how do you get to customize it?

What range is the m4 most effective

What rifle is better all around m4 or m16

Share This

Do we only use the m4 for more compact areas

also I was reading in wikipeida and it said the m4 was replacing the m16

Does this mean it replaced it in general or is it only used more in cqc urban combat Afghanistan

Do we only use the m4 for cqc and urban combat

do we use the m16 for more open combat and longer ranges
