M16 Assault Rifle

General

Usage

Weapon

The M16 Assault Rifle is a selective fire automatic firearm capable of switching between auto fire and single fire modes, utilizing 5.56mm Magazines as ammo. It can hit up two targets at a time as well as pierce through targets. However because of its high rate of fire, the rifle is much more likely to jam on the player than usual, and can also consume ammo faster than most other weapons. It can be racked again to unjam by pressing X.

Due to its high rate of fire and powerful 5.56mm rounds, the weapon is very difficult to utilize effectively for low aim level players. In the hands of a more skilled player, ideally a player with 5+ Aiming. This weapon and its auto fire mode can neutralize large numbers of Zombies with haste on par with Shotguns at the expense of ammo consumption, as how much ammo is used effectively is highly dependent on the aiming level of the player.

Fire Modes

This rifle features two modes of operation: Single and Automatic Fire. This can be toggled between using the right click context menu on the weapon.

Single Fire: The rifle only fires off one shot and requires another trigger push to shoot again.
Auto Fire: The rifle will continue to fire shots as long as the trigger is held down. It is worth noting that this weapon has no recoil delay.

The M16 Assault Rifle can be fitted with the following attachments with the use of a screwdriver:

Iron sight , x2 , x4 , x8 Scopes : Increases firing range.
Laser : Increases Accuracy.
Recoil Pad : Reduces recoil.
Red Dot : Increases aiming speed.

To install these attachments, ensure that you have a screwdriver in your inventory, right click the M16 you want to modify, click on 'Upgrade' and pick the attachment you want to install.

Condition

The M16 Assault Rifle is a firearm As such, the durability of the weapon is dependent on the player's aiming skill. This weapon's chance of losing durability is: 1 in (60 + aiming x 2)
