The M16A2 is a 5.56 mm assault rifle featured in ArmA: Cold War Assault, ArmA: Armed Assault, ArmA 2, and ARMA Reforger.


ArmA: Cold War Assault

« The M16 Assault Rifle series of weapons developed from research conducted by the U.S. Army's Operations Research Office (ORO), created at Johns Hopkins University in September 1948. As the United States Army's standard-issue rifle, the M16 is a reliable and accurate weapon (although prone to jamming, as it's relatively easy for dirt to get into the chamber and magazine).

The M16A2 is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview

The M16A2 is a gas operated, select-fire assault rifle. It is chambered to fire the 5.56×45 mm NATO cartridge.

It can load either 30-round 5.56 mm magazines or explosive rifle grenades[CWACfgW 7], and can attain a fire rate of up to ~ 857 rounds per minute on semi-auto[CWACfgW 8][Formula 1] or 600 RPM on burst.[CWACfgW 9][Formula 2] It has a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s.[CWACfgW 10]

The M16A2 was the U.S. military's standard-issue service rifle at the height of the Cold War. Chambered to fire the ubiquitous 5.56 mm NATO cartridge, it has decent stopping power and can kill most infantry targets with just a single burst at most ranges.[CWACfgA 1][CWACfgA 2] Additionally, the M16A2 has the ability to load and fire rifle grenades, allowing its user to provide instant fire support in the form of its quasi-"mortar" rifle grenades.[CWACfgW 7]

Where the M16A2 falls short compared to its Soviet counterpart, the AK-74, is its lack of a full auto firemode.[CWACfgW 11] Even though the AK-74 has a much lower ROF (600 RPM) compared to an M16A2 firing on semi-auto (~ 857 RPM), the AK-74 is more reliable in close quarters since the user can simply hold down the AK-74's trigger and dump their magazine until it runs dry.

Meanwhile, options for the M16A2's operator in close quarters are far more limited: either they to stick to firing on semi-auto or use its 3-round burst firemode. The former faces the drawback of forcing its user to constantly pull its trigger for each shot since they can't just keep the trigger held down, while the latter suffers from a brief delay between each burst that leaves the user vulnerable for a split second.[CWACfgW 9]

Variants

M16A2 GL

The M16A2 GL 5.56 mm assault rifle.

A grenadier configuration of the baseline M16A2 rifle, the M16A2 GL features an underbarrel 40 mm grenade launcher.

Statistically, it remains identical to its parent weapon when it comes to recoil, accuracy, and fire modes. The only major difference is that it loses the ability to load and fire rifle grenades.[CWACfgW 18] However, this loss in capability is compensated by the underbarrel M203 launcher being able to load and fire lethal high-explosive (HE) grenade rounds and signal/illumination flare shells instead.[CWACfgW 19]

Ironsights

Ironsights on the M16A2's carryhandle utilise a fixed zeroing of 400 metres. It is not possible to manually adjust this to a different setting.[CWACfgW 20][CWACfgW 21]

Trivia

  • Although technically not anachronistic, the M16A2 didn't actually begin replacing the M16A1 in U.S. Army service until 1986 when it was officially adopted, one year after the events of Cold War Crisis. Prior to this, it was only issued primarily to the U.S. Marine Corps (U.S. forces in Cold War Assault predominately consist of units from the Army).[2]
  • Prior to Patch 1.40 for Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (the name of Cold War Assault prior to its re-release), AI units armed with M16A2s that had grenade launchers fitted had the ability to fire grenade rounds without even aiming in the direction of their target(s). This bug was eventually fixed by the patch's release.[3]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • An unused sub-variant of the M16A2 rifle exists within Cold War Assault's configuration files (Classname: M16S).[4] This unique variant of the M16A2 has an alternate "muzzle" that allows the user to damage targets with a melee attack.[5]
    • Because it is directly based on the unused Stroke "weapon"[6], the animation depicts the user striking targets with the rifle's stock. As the melee attack's "ammo" has a base damage value of 8[7], successfully hitting targets with this alternate "muzzle" can outright kill if the attack manages to connect.

ArmA: Armed Assault

« The M16 assault rifle entered service in 1965 at the onset of the Vietnam War. It answered the army's need to replace the ill-suited M14 with a lightweight rifle capable of effective automatic fire.
The M16 uses a small, high velocity round with low recoil and good armor penetration, effective to about 500m. After numerous improvements and upgrades throughout its lifespan, the M16A2 remains in service today as the army's basic service rifle.
Library Description[8]

The M16A2 5.56 mm assault rifle.
The M16A2 5.56 mm assault rifle.

The M16A2 is used by both RACS military forces and Black Element PMCs in ArmA: Armed Assault.

Overview

Returning in Armed Assault, the M16A2 is now utilised primarily by the Kingdom of Sahrani's military forces and in limited numbers with Black Element mercenaries.

Compared to its predecessor in Cold War Assault, Armed Assault's M16A2 has one major change in that it can now feed from a common pool of 5.56 mm STANAG magazines as opposed to being limited to its own magazine pool (i.e. M16A2s can share magazines with the M16A4, Mk12 marksman rifle, and the M4 carbine), allowing the M16A2 to load either 30- or 20-round STANAG magazines.[A1CfgW 8] Armed Assault's M16A2 also has a slightly increased muzzle velocity of 930 m/s.[A1CfgM 3]

However, Armed Assault's iteration of the M16A2 has also been downgraded in three areas. Its fire rate has been normalised to 600 RPM for both semi-auto and 3-round burst fire modes.[A1CfgW 9][Formula 3] It can no longer load and fire rifle grenades from its muzzle, and its accuracy has been sharply reduced since it now has ~ 133% increased dispersion (0.001 rad versus Cold War Assault's 0.0002 rad).[A1CfgW 1]

Furthermore, Armed Assault's M16A2 has no sub-variants fitted with optical sights or sound suppressors. Whereas the M16A4 and M4 carbine have multiple sub-variants that are equipped with reflex sights and riflescopes, the M16A2 is limited to just its carryhandle ironsights. The only advantage that the M16A2 has over its modernised counterparts is that it has slightly less recoil, but this does little to compensate for its drawbacks in every other aspect.

Variants

M16A2 + M203

The M16A2 + M203 5.56 mm assault rifle.
The M16A2 + M203 5.56 mm assault rifle.

The M16A2 GL has an M203 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher attached.

The M203 underbarrel launcher can load and fire either 40 mm high-explosive (HE) grenade rounds or less-than-lethal (LTL) flare shells.[A1CfgW 17] The M203 is set to a fixed zeroing of 400 metres.[A1CfgW 18][A1CfgW 19]

Other than the M203's addition making the M16A2 GL heavier to wield[A1CfgW 16], there are no other statistical changes from the baseline M16A2 rifle.

Ironsights

Trivia

  • On release, Armed Assault's M16A2s had an unrealistically low fire rate of just 400 rounds per minute. This was later corrected to 600 RPM after the release of Patch 1.14 and is also adjusted correctly by default in the Gold version of the game.[9]

Armoury Description[10][11]
 »

The M16A2 5.56 mm assault rifle.

The M16A2 is used by both the Takistani Army and anti-government rebels in ArmA 2.

Overview

ArmA 2's iteration of the M16A2 remains mostly unchanged from its counterpart in Armed Assault.

Its fire rate has been uprated to 800 RPM (a ~ 28% increase)[A2CfgW 9][Formula 4] but its muzzle velocity (930 m/s)[A2CfgM 4] and accuracy (0.001 rad)[A2CfgW 1] remains unchanged. In addition, ArmA 2's M16A2 still does not have sub-variants fitted with optical sights or sound suppressors, though it does allow the user to manually adjust zeroing for its ironsights (fully adjustable up to 600 metres).[A2CfgW 10]

The only real "upgrade" that ArmA 2's M16A2 gains is that it can now load from a wider variety of 5.56 mm magazines and is no longer limited to loading just 30-/20-round STANAGs. In addition to the G36 family's plastic magazines, the M16A2 can also feed from the XM8 Automatic Rifle/MG36's 100-round drums.[A2CfgW 11]

However aside from this "upgrade", nothing else has been changed with ArmA 2's M16A2. Given that ArmA 2 has far better platforms like the M16A4 and the Mk16, the M16A2 continues to remain as an inferior option compared to not just the AK-74 but also every other 5.56 mm-chambered platform.

Variants

M16A2 M203

« The M16 assault rifle entered service in 1965 at the onset of the Vietnam War. It answered the Army's need to replace the ill-suited M14 with a lightweight rifle capable of effective automatic fire.
This version is equipped with an additional M203 40 mm grenade launcher.

The M16A2 M203 5.56 mm assault rifle.
The M16A2 M203 5.56 mm assault rifle.

The M16A2 M203 has a 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher attached.

The M203 grenade launcher has the ability to load and fire a variety of 40 mm grenade rounds, ranging from lethal HE grenades to LTL flares and non-lethal smoke shells.[A2CfgW 20] The M203 uses a fixed zeroing of 400 metres.[A2CfgW 21][A2CfgW 22]

Unlike the baseline M16A2 rifle, it is slightly heavier to wield due to the added bulk of the M203 grenade launcher.[A2CfgW 19] Aside from this, the M16A2 M203 remains statistically unchanged from its parent weapon in every other way.

Ironsights

Arma2-m16a2-ironsight-overview
The carryhandle ironsights on the baseline M16A2 rifle allow for zeroing to be manually adjusted, starting from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[A2CfgW 10] By default, zeroing is always set to 100 metres.[A2CfgW 23]

Arma2-m16a2m203-ironsight-overview
Ironsights on M16A2s that have an M203 UGL fitted allow for zeroing to be manually adjusted, starting from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[A2CfgW 24] By default, zeroing is always set to 100 metres.[A2CfgW 25]

Arma2-m203m16a2-ironsight-overview
The M203 uses a fixed zeroing of 400 metres.[A2CfgW 21][A2CfgW 22] It is not possible to manually adjust this to a different setting.

For grenade rounds usable with the M203, refer to its dedicated article here.

Both variants of the M16A2 can load up to six types of magazines.[A2CfgW 11][A2CfgW 26] All of these magazines are fully interchangeable with any M16/G36-type assault rifle and carbine that is chambered to fire the 5.56 mm NATO cartridge. This also includes (but is not limited to) light machine guns like the M249 SAW and the L110A1, as well as marksman rifles like the Mk12 SPR.

With the sole exception of the 100-round drum magazines, all magazines only need one free inventory slot to carry.[A2CfgM 7][A2CfgM 8][A2CfgM 9] Only the 100-rounder drums require at least two[A2CfgM 10] inventory slots:

30Rnd. STANAG

Arma1-ammunition-30rndstanag

30-round STANAG magazine used primarily by M16-type assault rifles and carbines. Loaded exclusively with 5.56 mm NATO ball ammunition.[A2CfgM 11]

None of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.

30Rnd. STANAG SD

Arma1-ammunition-30rndstanag

Special 30-round STANAG magazine loaded with subsonic 5.56 mm NATO ammunition.[A2CfgM 12] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a reduced muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[A2CfgM 6]

As with the stock 30-rounder STANAGs, it does not contain any visible tracer rounds.

20Rnd. STANAG

Arma2-ammunition-20rndfnfal

20-round STANAG magazine containing only twenty rounds worth of 5.56 mm ball ammunition.[A2CfgM 13]

None of the rounds fired from this magazine will emit visible tracers.

G36 Mag.

Arma1-ammunition-30rndg36

30-round plastic magazine used primarily by G36-type weapons and non-M16 assault rifles/carbines loaded with 5.56 mm ball ammunition.[A2CfgM 14] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a lower muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.[A2CfgM 5]

Aside from its reduced muzzle velocity and appearance, this magazine remains statistically unchanged from 30-rounder STANAGs.

30rnd G36 SD

Arma1-ammunition-30rndg36

Special G36-type plastic magazine loaded with thirty rounds of subsonic 5.56 mm ammunition.[A2CfgM 15] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a reduced muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[A2CfgM 16]

Aside from its subsonic loadout, this magazine is statistically unchanged from the standard G36-type magazine.

MG36 Mag.

Arma2-ammunition-100rndmg36

High-capacity 100-round drum magazine loaded with a mix of 5.56 mm ball and tracer ammunition.[A2CfgM 17] Rounds fired from this drum specifically have a lower muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.[A2CfgM 18]

Every fourth[A2CfgM 19] round fired will emit a visible tracer. The last four[A2CfgM 20] rounds of the drum will always emit tracers.

Trivia

  • ArmA 2 is the first game in the series to feature the M16A2 as a REDFOR weapon rather than BLUFOR or a BLUFOR-aligned INDFOR faction.
    • Some USMC units can still be seen wielding the M16A2 in the early stages of the Operation Harvest Red campaign. However, none of their units actually utilise the M16A2 in regular gameplay.[12]
  • Like the G36 and XM8 assault rifles, the M16A2 was actually available in ArmA 2 first[10] but would remain unused by any in-game faction until the release of Operation Arrowhead.[11]

The M16A2 is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ARMA Reforger.

Overview

This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.

The M16A2 returns once more in Reforger, serving as the standard-issue service weapon of the U.S. military just like in Cold War Assault.

Unlike its predecessor in ArmA 2, Reforger's iteration of the M16A2 has gained the ability to mount muzzle attachments in the form of a flash hider (attached by default)[RfCmpW 4] and a 5.56 mm sound suppressor.[RfCmpW 5] Optical sights are also available as it is possible to attach an unmagnified reflex sight or a 4x zoom riflescope.[RfCmpW 6] Lastly, a bayonet can also be mounted below the barrel for improved melee attacks.[RfCmpW 7]

However, Reforger's M16A2 remains unchanged performance-wise as it still has a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s[Formula 5] (when loaded with 5.56 mm M855 FMJ ammunition)[RfCmpW 8][RfCmpA 1] and a fire rate of just 800 RPM (both on semi-auto and 3-round burst fire).[RfCmpW 9][RfCmpW 10] It is also no longer able to feed from drum magazines and is restricted to loading just 30-rounder STANAG magazines.[RfCmpW 11]

The M16A2 has an unloaded weight of 3.5 kg[RfCmpW 3], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 12], has a volume of 1,500 cm3[RfCmpW 13], and has object dimensions of 25x25x25 cm.[RfCmpW 14]

M16A2s with no attachments and only their default flash hider equipped have a Supply cost of 8 units if they are obtained from an Arsenal Box crate.[RfEnCat 1]

The M16A2 M203 5.56 mm assault rifle.

This grenadier configuration of the M16A2 uses a unique heat shield handguard and has an M203 40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher attached by default.

The M203 can load and fire 40 mm explosive grenades fitted with either M406 high-explosive (HE) or M433 high-explosive dual-purpose (HEDP), as well as M583A1/M661/M662 signalling/illumination flares.[RfCmpW 19] The M203 is paired alongside a folding ladder sight that can be zeroed up to a maximum of 250 metres.[RfCmpW 20]

It should be noted that because the M203 launcher obstructs the M16A2's barrel, it is no longer possible to mount a bayonet.[RfCmpW 21] However, 5.56 mm suppressors can still be attached onto its muzzle[RfCmpW 22], and the carryhandle still permits the mounting of various optical sights.[RfCmpW 23]

The M16A2 M203 has an unloaded weight of 4.86 kg[RfCmpW 17][RfCmpW 18], occupies 2x1 inventory slots[RfCmpW 24], has a volume of 2,500 cm3[RfCmpW 25][RfCmpW 26], and has object dimensions of 25x25x25 cm[RfCmpW 27] (the M203 launcher has a dimension of 15x15x15 cm).[RfCmpW 28]

M203-fitted M16A2s with no other attachments and only the default flash hider equipped have a Supply cost of 38 units[Formula 6] if they are obtained from an Arsenal Box crate.[RfEnCat 2][RfEnCat 3]

Ironsights

Reforger-m16a2-ironsight-overview
The carryhandle ironsights on the M16A2 can be manually zeroed from a minimum of 200 metres up to a maximum of 800 metres (200[RfCmpW 29], 300[RfCmpW 30], 400[RfCmpW 31], 500[RfCmpW 32], 600[RfCmpW 33], 700[RfCmpW 34], 800[RfCmpW 35]). By default, it is set to a zeroing setting of 300 metres.[RfCmpW 36]

Reforger-m16a2m203-ironsight-overview
The carryhandle ironsights on M16A2s that have an M203 grenade launcher fitted can be manually zeroed, starting from a minimum of 200 metres up to a maximum of 800 metres (200[RfCmpW 37], 300[RfCmpW 38], 400[RfCmpW 39], 500[RfCmpW 40], 600[RfCmpW 41], 700[RfCmpW 42], 800[RfCmpW 43]). By default, it is set to a zeroing setting of 300 metres.[RfCmpW 44]

Reforger-m203m16a2-ironsight-overview
Zeroing for the M203 launcher's ladder sight can be adjusted from a minimum of 50 metres up to a maximum of 250 metres (50[RfCmpW 45], 100[RfCmpW 46], 150[RfCmpW 47], 200[RfCmpW 48], 250[RfCmpW 20]). By default, the ladder sight is set to a zeroing of 50 metres.[RfCmpW 49]

Melee attacks involve striking the target with a buttstroke. Buttstrokes have a maximum range of 1 metre.[RfCmpW 80][RfCmpW 81]

If the M16A2's dedicated bayonet has been attached, melee attacks involve stabbing the target instead. Stabbing with a bayonet has a maximum range of 2.5 metres[RfCmpW 82][Formula 8] and is more precise compared to attacking with a buttstroke.[RfCmpW 85][Formula 9]

Trivia

  • When firing on burst mode, Reforger accurately simulates the M16A2's burst trigger memory "flaw" whereby if the user interrupts the 3-round burst early, the next burst will only fire the remainder of the previous burst's rounds (i.e. user fires two rounds, halts, and then fires only one round for the next burst).[14]
  • Prior to Update 0.9.6, the M203's ladder sight did not flip up when the user switched over to using the grenade launcher. This was corrected by the patch's release.[15]
  • Before the release of the first Ground Support update, the M16A2's magazines did not account for the weight of rounds inside the magazine. The patch subsequently refactored Reforger's weighting system and now properly includes the weight of each individual round.[16]
  • After the release of Update 1.1, the M16A2's model and reloading animation were both replaced with newer and improved ones (as part of the Resistance Ops patch).[17]
    • Update 1.1 also made changes to the M16A2's STANAG magazines by adding a catch cutout window to its model (it was previously missing on the older model) and included alternate camouflage schemes for both variants of the rifle.[17]
  • Before Update 1.1's release, the M16A2 was manufactured by an Armaverse company, Bohemia Interactive Industries (an easter egg company referencing the studio itself). The patch changed the markings and the rifle's origins to that of the Bowen Arms Co. instead, another fictitious Armaverse company.[18]
  • From Reforger's Early Access and all the way to Update 1.2, the M16A2's magazines were free to obtain and did not impose a Supply cost on the user. This was refactored after Update 1.3's balance changes, which adjusted it so that all of the M16A2's magazines now have a Supply cost of 2.[19][20]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • Reforger-icon-m16a2nohandguard

    Early Access M16A2 with an exposed barrel.

    When Reforger first launched in Early Access, the M203 could be removed on M16A2s that already had one attached by default (thereby leaving the barrel exposed). This would result in a visual glitch that depicted the user's hands continuing to grip the M16A2's invisible handguard as if it were still present.
