Trivia

 * In the image of Frank Woods holding a M16, the carrying handle is removed.
 * As seen briefly in the Wager trailer, it has the same reload animation as the M16A4 from Modern Warfare 2.
 * An M16 equipped with a Flamethrower or Grenade Launcher attachment has a different handguard from the stock M16 handguard, being replaced with a heat-shield.
 * Treyarch confirmed the M16 in-game is an early prototype, which is why it fires in bursts, instead of fully automatic as seen in early tests of gameplay.
 * If looked at closely while the M16 is being reloaded, the selector switch is on safe.
