I've definitely overlooked the M16A4, I've generally had pretty terrible experiences with burst-fire guns so I kinda just avoided it. Whenever I next play some Sandstorm I'll definitely give it a second chance. Also: Congrats on 200 subs, you deserve it. These videos have been both informative and entertaining, and I look forward to the second season.
I know it's a different game, but I remember thinking the exact same thing in Arma 2 all those years ago. I used the default loadouts in warfare games for a while, then started experimenting with all sorts of guns. Bigger calibers, smaller calibers, more modular weapons, and just about everything and anything else. After a while I realised, the M16A4 is a fucking good weapon, it just works. Its accurate and it kills targets when you hit them. Ammo is everywhere, and it's controllable at any regular combat range. Such a good bread and butter weapon - as you said, it just works
M16A4 - recoil grip - holographic with magnify scope - semi automatic - flash suppressor And that's my loadout, simple, yet hella effective for both mid and far engagements.
I don't know if it's because of the great velocity but, at times, it feels like a 7,62 at range in terms of power, but without the recoil. Besides, That velocity allows you to hit shots so much more easily. I really like this gun and how you can customize it heavily thanks to how cheap it is. It really is a gem. However, I think the AUG kind of outclasses it now since it basically has the same stats, but with full auto and a 42 rounds extended mags, which can turn it into a pretty good support "machinegun".
I find I’m using the M4 with all the attachments single fire but I can’t have much perks like body Armor etc, so I’m using the m16 with level 3 ammo and level 3 body armor and I’m playing so well with a kitted out m16
195 subscribers! Lmao now I'm seeing over 15K. that's awesome, man! Keep it up, alot of people including myself are just getting into this on console. Amazing game so far. Your content taught me alot about this tough game.
This was probably the most commonly used gun in Insurgency 2014, riflemen used it with AP rounds, breachers used it with suppressors and marksmen could put a 7x optic on it. Seemed to have worked well for anyone who was a better shot than me
@@stuglife5514 It was M16s vs AKMs like how it's M4 vs AKs in CS lol, I used M16 as a more lightweight alternative to L1A1, they cost the same if you put AP rounds on both
I served with the m4 a know it well. I also know im used to long range shooting long rifles and picking my shots before the army. The fixed stock longer barrel and better balistics make me prefer the 16. And i never even touch the burst. If i have to mag dump/auto on a guy or multiple semi works better anyway
m16 used to be my favourite gun in 2014 insurgency.. it was just perfect, but in this new one it just feels different somehow :S now i go usually just with the classics; m4 and akm :D
a sneak advantage of using the insurgent M16A2 is that due to having STANAGs on vest, you can grab kitted out security rifles for a quick field upgrade, really useful for demolitions where you can dump points into bombs
I love seeing you get happy about 193 subscribers in these old videos that are just a year old and now seeing you at almost 26k. Congratulations man, you absolutely deserve the subs!
Its funny you should say all this: When I first started playing I:S (the first hardcore FPS I took up getting back into gaming) this was the gun I chose and it worked great. It wasn't long before I transitioned to the G3 or FAL but after watching this it has confirmed my memory of what aq good gun this is.
Its good seeing another console player am gonna join up when it gets on deals with gold siege is turning into ghost recon sc-fi crap that only appeals to sweats and cheats i still love rainbow six but hated whats its turned into thank you for your service.
I rarely used this gun, but the more I think about it, every time I did, or even just picked it up in a sticky situation, I did incredibly well. Must try it out more.
I held a point against four people attacking me in one room with this gun. Sadly the fifth person got me, but still. The gun works close, mid and long.
when i was new in insurgency, i didnt rly like m16 cuz it doesnt have full-auto, but burst. i know how to use semi-auto now, so it is my most favorite weapon in the game. m16 is a beast in any ranges if player can use semi-auto properly.
Hey Sick Snipes would you prefer to have the m16a2 or the m16a4 and why? I find myself always using the m16 but I cant decide which one I prefer more if I have a choice between the two. More scope options is nice but that extra one credit is sometimes very useful! Also tha k you for your great content I'm currently binge watching all of your stuff!!!
I found that M16 is an awesome support gun which is comparable to MGs in that case with bipod and 4x sights. It is even better in some ways, cause it costs less and doesn't have tracers you can't remove
2xOKP, flash hider, recoil grip/bipod. For when I know I’m going to have to cover a lane, and cap points. Yeah, it’s a 10 point rifle, but I don’t usually carry a secondary, and I can still carry 2 smokes, and light carrier.
you haven't talked about its biggest strength: this gun has the best ballistics EVER. its a shooter's dream in the game, bullet hits like hitscan with 0 drop and 0 kick
In real life the only members of a squad that really use full auto in combat today is the machine gunner. Constantly firing automatic with a rifle is unwieldy and inaccurate in real combat and isn't very healthy for gas operated rifles like the M4 and M16. We weren't even allowed to use full auto when I was in basic training
Just gave this gun a second chance (see my previous comment on this video) and holy shit this thing kicks ass. It's just as good as you said it was, plus the length was a non-issue for me. Not only that but I'm pretty sure I killed you with it. Two or three times. (map was ministry on domination and you were using the honeybadger. this was no more than an hour before i'm typing this, so if you don't recall this situation then maybe it was someone else pretending to be you)
the m16a4 was never available to the US in full auto that's not to say there weren't full auto versions they made 2 the burst fire one we imagine when we mention the name but there's is an entire different serial number lot of full auto variants that were meant for exports to allies so since you play as an American troop in one of the sides it makes complete sense for the m16a4 to be burst fire
I'm a fairly new player and I both love and hate this gun. I hate it cause the burst mode hasn't worked well for me. When all the classes are filled up though I just bring in the heavy carrier rifleman loadout with a smoke launcher. So the folks who keep crying for smokes would shut up and I can still bring other grenades. Cool video.
Love ya videos, and i know it's a bit nit picky but it's just a rifle not a battle rifle. Battle rifles are usually chambered in .208 and up I believe.
The M16A2 is basically the same as M16A4 it just doesn't come with the rails so the scope is mounted higher and the attachments attached to installed rails so I'd personally say go for it he'd probably agree
yeah, it's actually a pretty good gun. Compare to M4A1, without the cost problem, M4A1 is better anyway but M4A1 is freaking expensive. M16 still has it's own place.
50 rounds with 5.56 may be a lot of bullets but the actual 'gunner' class weapons with 50 capacity shoot way harder, i.e. the MG3 and M240 using 7.62x51 NATO AP. If you're running anything short of that with only 50 rounds you're failing as a gunner, especially with the M4 dumping bullets like it does. I would contend the M16 would make a better mock mg, as it conserves ammo and is overall far more efficient with better range.
It's not a "battle rifle" though, battle rifles are chambered in something like .308/7.62, like FAL, G3 or, if you insist on an AR platform, AR18, if memory serves me. Some other AR Stoner made, but not AR10 I'm almost certain.
Recently, I picked up an insurgents M16 (I was security), at point blank range, I shot an insurgent with the M16, it didn't even make him groan. I was the one who got killed by the guy I was trying to kill. Because of that experience, I will never, ever use the M16 again.

My brother in Christ, M16 is not a battle rifle. M14 is a battle rifle, as it fires 7.62. Intermediate cartridge disqualifies M16 from being a BR.

M16A4 is fantastic, top dog, burst at CQB, burst at range. Single shot center mass, it's the flex tape of Insurgency. Fucking insanity.
wait what, did you call the M16 a battle rifle?! Anyway these are wonderful, you god damn magician, ILL HAVE ANOTHER!
I think it’s more of a battle rifle than an assault rifle because it doesn’t have full auto.
But it does fire the intermediate cartridge not a full rifle cartridge, therefore it is an assault rifle.
More people died to this thing than car accidents when CoD4 launched.
To not like an M16 is like not liking water,it’s simple,your body wants it,you helps you live and thrive
Your a true american hero.

There are players turning the M16A2 into a marksman rifle and denying areas with it during rounds

Would you similarly recommend the insurgent version (M16A2) over the AK like you recommend this one over the M4.

My fave gun is the Fall because of the huge one tap potential and I don't find the recoil too uncontrollable
You can literally use this gun with only single fire mode and you'll be completely fine
It remains my.most used weapon at 17% of all kills for a reason
When in doubt it just works
The m16 isn't a battle rifle due to cartridge size a battle rifle would be a scar or a m14

any opinion on M4 pseudo LMG?
drum mag, bipod foregrips, SU230, no armor, full auto, any points left get to be spent on molotovs and pistols
