**PROS:** - Good Damage - Good Effective Range - Attacks Quickly - Large Magazine

**CONS:** - Bust-Fire

**TACTICS:** An above-average weapon in nearly every aspect. It hits decently hard, has a good range and is slightly more accurate than other assault rifles. However, it is limited to 3-round bursts instead of automatic fire. While it can fire those bursts quickly, this feature heavily reduces its firepower. Best used to support other survivors at medium range. ***Recommended gear: ***- Ammunition Mods increase the damage per shot, allowing for faster kills. - Weapon Cleaning Kits boosts the accuracy of the weapon, ensuring less shots go to waste. - Glasses improve the already-large range, with some variants increasing accuracy as wel

**BACKGROUND:** The M16 series has long been the West's answer to the AK-47, offering a lightweight, accurate, and low-recoiling assault rifle design that continues to be deployed by many armies. The A2 model features a three-round burst trigger group, which was intended to promote ammo conservation in combat. Formerly the standard issue assault rifle of the U.S. military, it is still used by National Guard and reserve units.
