What is M16A4?The most bitched about weapon in Call of Duty 4. Sucker 1: "oh no! I was just killed by the M16! What a noobish gun! I have to go complain about it on an internet forum, because if I do, people will listen to me and stop using it!" M16A4 - videoM16A4 - what is it?A modern, modular assault rifle, in use by active duty, frontline units in the US Army and Marine Corps. It is the forerunner to the M16A2, which was in use from the early 1980's, to even now. While in less use than the M16A2, it is more effective. The M16A4 isn't worthy of its tarnished reputation, in reality. The M16 was an AR15, heavily modified from Eugene Stoner's designs, by Lyndon Johnson's DoD. What does "M16A4" mean?The modernized, updated version of the AR15 platform, currently in use by the United States Army and Marine Corps. While in less numbers than the M16A2, and generally only used by frontline units, it is arguably better than its predecessor. The M16A4 features a picatinny rail, a railed fore grip, detachable sights, and a 1:7' rifling, rather than the 1:12' and 1:9' rifling previous models had, which equates to better power and accuracy. The M16A4 is, essentially, an M16A3, but with a safe/semi/3-round burst selector switch, rather than a safe/semi/fully-automatic switch. The M16A4, along with its predecessors, spare the M16(A0) are unworthy of the negative press they receive. They are great rifles, but the first version, which was heavily modified by Lyndon Johnson's DoD, has stained the M16/AR15's reputation, due to the reliability issues faced previously. |
