However, the M16 has a very fast reload time, at 2.03 seconds regular, or 2.36 seconds for an empty reload. ADS time is on par with the other assault rifles, and the hip-fire spread is a moderate size. Allowing a window of delay between bursts will allow this recoil to settle. The iron sights can confuse some users, and the recoil is high enough to throw off aim with consecutively shot bursts.

In the accuracy department, the M16 is generally deemed inferior to the G11, and in general, accuracy is decent. Both of these speeds are slower than the G11. The bullets shot in one burst will fly at 937 RPM. This high damage is offset due to the M16 having the lowest "overall" RPM of all assault rifles, at a measly 459 RPM. The headshot multiplier allows for one less bullet, allowing for one accurate burst to kill an enemy from afar.

One whole burst will usually suffice, but at longer ranges, an extra bullet may be required, thus an extra burst. The M16 is a free weapon unlocked in one of the default classes at level 1, equipped with an ASP, and with the perks Scavenger, Steady Aim, and Second Chance.
