The M16

Sup Brawlers,

Evil here with another gun review (by popular request)......this time of the M16. (per request @RMST1 )

The M16 has also been widely adopted by other militaries around the world and has been in use for decades.

This assault rifle can be used in a variety of situations although it has it's drawbacks (and they are significant).

Drawbacks include: lack of accuracy, poor length of shot, and feeble power of shot.

In my opinion the M16 gives a new player a versatile weapon with a decent magazine, rapid firing of shots, short reload, and tactical maneuvering. This weapon is best used in flanking, head to head (medium distance) and entering/clearing rooms.

In my universe, I see the M16 as the one Arnold Schwarzenegger used in the movie Predator....he was a bada$$ in that movie.

This is the preferred weapon of many new players because.....let's face it we all started out as new guys.

It's short comings of accuracy, length of shot, and power of shot really bring down the value of this weapon.

In reality, the faster firing time between shots allows you to focus on many different targets without using up all your ammunition. However, you may need to use the length of shot and number of shots to take down a number of your opponents.

Sweeping rooms with the M16 is no picnic. You really notice the lack of power against opponents with more power such as the Skull Crusher. Pair this weapon with Scavenger and the odds are better in your favor but the weaknesses of the overall weapon are not over compensated by additional bullets.

This weapon is not useful on sniper maps such as Beaver due to it's lack of accuracy, length of shot, and power of shot.

This is not a sniper rifle so the length of shot and power of shot are not even half of what they are with a rifle. When opponents are far away, you will want to make sure they are in range and fire off a couple of rounds before turn you into toast.

When playing Infect with this weapon, you will want to be on the ground in a defensible area where you have a clear line of sight and a long range of sight. This will help you hold off multiple zombies before they eventually maul you to death because your bullets bounce off them.

The best advice I can give you aim for the head.

I love using it with my texture pack...If only I could shoot nades. Lol!
