Talk:M16

What fire mode is it?
In the wager mode trailer it fires three round burst. It might be both. I don't know.XDEATHMAN4aP90x 22:40, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

It says "three round burst" in the Multiplayer overview video so it's probably three round burst.

Although from time to time, you could see two or only one shot being fired at a time. Unregistered User

1st of all, I can't take a pic, and 2nd of all if you watch carefully, you can see the M16A1 fires 2 shots and then burns the guy in Final Stand. This is in the Flamethrower Video. Unregestered User

3rd, sign your posts. Come on, you have a print-screen key, right? That works. Now, lemme check that.... nope, ammo counter goes to 24 after the first burst. You might wanna check that again. 27 = 0 bullets used, 26 = 1 bullet, 25 = 2 bullets, 24 = 3 bullets... what does that mean? Ding ding ding, three round burst. TNT Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 21:49, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

The firemode is still speculation until someone posts an actual source. 21:54, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Every keyboard has a print-screen key... doh. Also, proof. Check the overview, it says 3 round burst. TNT Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 22:05, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is definitive. 22:08, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just putting it out there though, does the M16A1 (i guess that's the in-game version) Have a three-round burst setting, or safe-semi-auto modes? wikipedia was vague TNT Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 22:19, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * The M16A1 does have safe-semi-auto modes. The M16A1 was the only one not to have a three round burst. 98.27.180.142 22:42, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * The M16A2 does have burst-fire. 00:26, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No crap. A1 is auto, A2 is burst, A3 is auto, and A4 is bust. in real life atleast. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 00:29, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm saying that the M16 in-game might be an A2. Don't be so rude, either. 00:32, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think the A2 was around back then.98.27.180.142 00:34, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's an XM16E2, of course. 00:39, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you know if it fires in burst?98.27.180.142 00:43, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not an A2. It's an A1. The handgaurd and carrying handle are the type used on the A1. I own one. Treyarch probably will make it three round burst to balance it out. Either that or the guy was just firing in perfect bursts. 00:47, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know that. I was just kidding around. Besides, with the heatshield, it does bear a resemblence to the A2. Also, it's been proven that, at least in MP, it is burst. 00:53, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not make it burst fire? and the A2 is a post vietnam era rifle, not in vietnam. that for sure was the A1. no doubts about it. and the FAMAS is good, but it isn't nearly as close to pure awesomeness as the M16A4. now that is pure awesomeness in a fire arm. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 04:37, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like I said, it could be a prototype A2. Apparently this is still a concept that is hard for people to grasp-- the dudes portrayed in that game (SOG), they could get their hands on any weapon they want. Who's to say it's not a prototype A2? I mean, they got an AUG and a G11, the former wasn't put into full production until '77, and the latter was dropped before it was ever put into production. In addition, the Cold War lasted from 47-91, so yeah, they could have an A2 in-game. Jesus. 04:46, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Meh, pure awesomeness in a firearm? I've never liked M16 or the M4 and it's variants. Also, I didn't wanna make a "what gun is this exactly" war, it's burst in MP, at the very least. The M16 in CoD4 was full auto in the campaign as well anyway. TNT Lordofthelargepants The Zipper and The Pockets 08:12, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. The M16A4 in CoD4's campaign didn't fire correct. M16A4's fire 3 round burst or semi-auto sue to their selective fire capabilities. I guess you could be right. but I'm just sayin that the M16A1 was in full production in the 60's hinting to it being the M16 in black ops assuming your theory is incorrect. and it may or may not. well just have to see. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 13:04, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was right. It is a prototype. I expect a prototype A2. XM16E2, more than likely. 15:26, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

It has a three-pronged flash hider and a triangular handguard. It's an XM16E1. 22:34, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Where did the picture come from?
Yeh, just wondering. I'd like to see it.  Helljumper "Folks Need Heroes"

It should be mentioned....
That M16 is ONLY gun in Black Ops that has both correct model, and is correct in BO´s timeline.

What are you dense? Are you retarded or something?

First sign your post and second what about the AK-47 and the Commando?- The Asian Gangsta'

Bare in mind that some of the weapons are fictional, whereas some others are prototypes due to, as Treyarch has said, Black Ops units being able to request anything they need to get their mission done. So, technically, no, the M16 isn't the only correct weapon in BO timeline, a lot of the others are just prototypes that are being "tested out" I guess you could say by Black Ops units. OrcishTroll 12:33, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * None of the weapons in this game are fictional. YuriKaslov 03:26, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please remember that while many of the weapons are Vietnam-era, the story of Black Ops spans almost five decades (1960ish to 2010) so the developer has artistic license to basically include anything they want. The only real exception would be if a particular mission included unrealistic weapons, like the SPAS-12 (I refuse to call it the 'SPAS') in Slaughterhouse. Incrognito 17:21, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * SPAS is the actual name of the shotgun. The -12 only represents the gauge it was made in. (in this case, 12 gauge) 22:56, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, please be respectful as well as sign your posts. Incrognito 17:24, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Merge with M16A4.
This doesn't warrant a separate article, in my opinion. We should merge this page with M16A4 and change that page's name to M16. Hk37 Need help? Contact me here! 02:52, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Conqueror of all Zombies 02:54, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Then we should do the same with the M60 articles. YuriKaslov 02:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I believe we should keep them seperate until Black Ops actually comes out, and then we should still keep them seperate if there is a significant change in regards to in-game mechanics (ie: full auto, significantly different damages). In short, if it feels like a different weapon, it should have its own page. Jewfrohero 03:04, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

We should do the same with the M60 articles, but I think Jewfrohero has a good idea. We'll keep the pages seperate until Black Ops comes out, then merge them if there's no significant difference. Hk37 Need help? Contact me here! 22:46, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

They are different guns so keep them separated. thats the way it should be. Mobilized 03:25, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

I actually discussed this with Chia, so I'll just post what he said. "I'm not sure if it was written down, but I believe the paraphrase was that if they are both titled and aesthetically designed differently from each other (such as the M16A4 and M16) they're to be treated as separate weapons, but if they're named the same (such as the Call of Duty 4 AK-47 and the Modern Warfare 2 AK-47, which is honestly probably an AK-107 or something similar) then they're to be treated as the same thing. We can't really rely on differentiation on how a weapon works as a sole factor because then you can get the infamous example of a FAMAS being a new M16." Sorry, no merger.

Burst Fire
the m16 here is three round burst if u watch closely in the new multiplayer gameplay vid Omnicube1 22:41, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Inconclusive. It could be manual burst rather than mechanical burst. 22:47, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Possibly an unknown attachment to add more "accuracy" and "precision" on the M16 to make it like the M16A4. GunsSwordsFlames 23:03, September 2, 2010 (UTC)G


 * Could be an attachment, could be manual bursting, we dunno; frankly, the whole concept is speculation until proven otherwise. YuriKaslov 23:11, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * There was a cut attachment in World at War that changed the mode of fire on certian weapons. more specifically, the SVT-40 and the STG-44. Maybe this will be an attachment in Black Ops (JayPeezey 18:06, September 3, 2010 (UTC))
 * But it was scrapped. I just wish that there was a button you could hit in game to switch mode. I love using the 3 round burst (its my favorite fire mode) but it sucks for when you need full auto so if they did do that it would be awesome!!!! Rangerslogosp.pngizedM16A4.png 03:57, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently, it is confirmed to be 3 round burst according to the section labeled Attachments below. So, we should call it 3 round burst from now on. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 00:43, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Where does it say that? I don't see anything like that. Price25

here. look below at the Attachments section. it says "Treyarch stated in one of the releases that it would be 3-round burst, and yet the real m16 was only full-auto." Mobilized 00:19, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

For all the ignoramuses out there
Do not add the whole "3-round burst" thing back into the article, as it is pure speculation, and as the Call of Duty Wiki is Not page states, the wiki isn't a crystal ball; speculation is entirely unwelcome here. YuriKaslov 03:25, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

True that. but I do wish it was 3 round burst. Mobilized 03:58, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Attachments
Add an attachments section to this article. We do know of the Flamethrower and the M203. Enough to add a new section. also, keep fire mode out until we can confirm it. However, that would be awesome if it was 3 round burst. Mobilized 03:29, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Could be a prototype M16A2 with the triangular handgaurd and A1 Carrying handle. I just like the M16 because with the grenade launcher, it adds the heat shield which makes it look sexy. :D I don't even think I'll even use the GL, unless it is an emergency. With the GL, looks like the A2 my dad fired a while ago (Only with an A1 carrying handle). Ferrariguy1000 22:36, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Also, Rename the article M16A1 because it is the M16A1. also, people may get confused if you call it the M16 because of the M16A4. Mobilized 03:33, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done, and for all we know, it could be the A2 instead of the A1, especially since it seems to be burst-fire. YuriKaslov 03:35, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * If thats the case then we should call it the M16A2. but if you look on the M16A4 page it calls it the A1 so I figured we should call it that. But we can't call it the M16 because of the reason mentioned above and M16 is a generic therm for all models of the M16. Rangerslogosp.pngizedM16A4.png 03:54, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * We'll call it what it is in-game. If it is just called the M16 by the release date, and doesn't change, we'll keep it as-is. Yuri Kaslov  03:56, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it wont be called the M16 only, that much I am sure of. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 20:56, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it could be. Just think, the M14 in-game is the A1, but that isn't written in the name of the weapon from what we've seen so far. 20:59, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * True but thats that gun. well see about the M16. I still think they'll call it the A1 or even the A2 but we could keep it that way for now. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 21:05, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Treyarch stated in one of the releases that it would be 3-round burst, and yet the real m16 was only full-auto.
 * Good. Probably so because it is known for it's 3-round burst fire mode in most games. Personally, Thak makes me like it even more (it's my favorite cause it's an M16, best series of guns in CoD). Also, we need to add a sectioin about Call of Duty: Black Ops for DS. It is confirmed by a screen shot to be in the game. Rangerslogosp.pngized M16A4.png 00:41, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Just as a question, how do we know that the BO DS M16A1 is fully automatic if we have only seen it in pictures? Mobilized 20:47, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. It is possible that the M16 is a 3 round burst because in the picture the ammo counter displays 24 rounds in the magazine, meaning that it could have fired 2 bursts. I suggest to take it out until we have more information. RC95 17:21, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

I took it out. I also took it out of the gun box and the recoil. We cant determine recoil in a screen shot like that. And recoil hasnt even been confirmed to be back. Mobilized 18:30, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Model
I believe that is an M16A1 because if you look at the barrel, the plastic around it is flat. that suggests that it is an A1 as the A2 has a ridged one. Mobilized 21:08, September 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Indeed, it appears that the M16A1 look is what Treyarch was going for with the old-fashioned-looking barrel. If you want a good reference, watch any movie from the 80's in which the M16 appeared (Predator, Commando, etc.). Incrognito 08:04, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Unlocked at....
I think that the M16 is unlocked whenever you get Create a Class in Black Ops. If you look at 0:59 in the video here it is first on the list of Assault Rifles so it would be unlocked first. Mobilized 18:42, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Original M16
If it's an original M16, shouldn't it have only a 20 round magazine? BengalMan81 22:53, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * It has a 30-round mag. 22:54, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Once again, keep in mind that 'should' is a completely useless term in the context of Call of Duty portrayal of weapons. The game is fictional, therefore the content is treated as fictional and is described by this wiki only as it is seen in-game. It doesn't matter if the gun appears similar to the real-life M16A1, if it fires 3-round bursts and is distributed with a thirty-round magazine, then that's the way the cookie crumbles. Incrognito 08:00, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Disambig
Shouldn't this page be a disambiguation page, because there are 2 types of M16s, and it's going to get really confusing when people are searching for the other. Bioniclepluslotr 21:42, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

bolt is visible
I think you should add to the "Trivia" section that the bolt/ejection port is located on the reciever (with the dust cover open), unlike CoD 4 and MW2

GeneralHansen / November 5, 2010 / 21:23

Black ops uses the M16A1 CoD4 & MW2 use the M16A4, they're different guns made by the same manufacturer, with the M16A1 Colt may have decided to put the ejection port on the receiver, but they may have decided to put the port in a different place on the M16A4.
 * You're missing the point. If you spin to the right in MW or MW2, you'll see that the bolt and ejector port are COMPLETELY MISSING. YuriKaslov 17:37, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
