I want a patch where they actually put the M16 like it SHOULD BE and downgrade the Type 95.

The M16 is dependant on connection.

I have matches where the first burst kills a players instantly and then I have those games where it takes 2-3 bursts to kill players.

You like watching n00bs running around with an MP7?

Nice Gameplay, well done...

Commentary? Bit needy, begging for likes makes you sound a bit like xJawz...

M16 has over 2500 kills with it, RD RF and its amazing, you people just don't know how to use something differnt. It does well at close range sometimes, it may take a couple of bursts but its an amazing gun.

even with a fully auto m16(not made anymore in the military) The weapon had next to no kick.. it should feel like a .22 and when sprayed should have a small amount of spread... not what it has in this game.. it has a wider spread than that of some of the smgs

I actually enjoy the M16 in Hardcore, but I have a hard time with it outside of that. As soon as I got it gold I retired it and moved on

I can be extremely effective with the M16 but it's just a shame how bastardized the MW3 version is. WIthout any attachments the gun kicks way too much and the fire rate is way too slow. It's a .223 there should be next to no kick. I really wish the base fire rate was a lot faster, almost as fast as the rapid fire attachment. Hell, if that was the case, I would be fine without having a rapid fire attachment and I would run it with a silencer and ACOG. Basically what I'm saying is, I miss my MW2/Black Ops M16.

Sure, there has been people who have gotten moabs with the roit sheild. Doesn't mean its one of the best weapons in the game. And there is no dening the fact that the m16 is outclassed by almost every other assualt rifle, most noticeable is the type 95. You may do good with it, be you would do even better using a type 95.

Personally, I think the rapid fire attachment on the M16 is broken. It doesn't seem to give you that 'night and day' feel when used compared to the T95. When you use rapid fire on that gun, instantly you can tell but the M16, not so much. The levels are too small for it's intended use and in levels like Black Box, just use a sniper rifle....my opinion only.

If you use the M16, you MUST play cautiously and keep your distance with so many people using MP7's and ACR's which will outgun an M16 any day. Your play style must adapt depending on the weapon you are using. I can tell you that leveling up the M16 was not very enjoyable for me!

after having used it in all other games that the m16 was available in... I can say that it is ,hands down , the worst incarnation of the series. I used it my first prestige and loved it... used the type and the mk14 the following prestiges and went back to it... not impressed at all. in close range where a 1 burst should kill.. it does not. long range it is fine but where it should be a 1 burst it fails miserably

No...Tbh I find the M16 one of the best guns in the game [if played right] but the problem is that its hard to adapt to. I've beat VERY GOOD smg users before with it, but maybe its just me, i usually play SnD with it. I don't know bout other GM's but Dom and SnD are the best for M16, as SnD is slow paced and Dom is good on it if your defending flags.

Being the worst assault rifle in MW3 for me is that bad especially for a COD legend assault rifle. Sure, it is still a potent weapon and can win you games but the very meaning of being totally outclassed by every other assault rifles makes M16 irrelevant in the game.

I used it to get the 1000 kills ensign, but gave up on the 2,500 kills title because my performance (k/d and w/l) was not as good as using any other assault rifle. Using the M16 on games where my team is losing midgame, I would switch to another assault rifle and this alone changes the outcome.

The M16 was the only gun I used in Black Ops and MW2 so after awhile I found out how to run and gun with the M16. I'm just saying it's possible, though the M16 has one of my lowest k/d ratios at 2.00. I guess it will drag you down compared to the rest of the guns, but old habits are hard to break.
