M16A1

Summary
The M16A1 is an all-around decent weapon. Good damage, nice range, and accuracy that can surprise you at times. It's a steal for what it's worth in the shop. The only thing worth mentioning is the small ammo pool. If not used responsibly, you will constantly find yourself using your secondary. Armors that supply extra clips are recommended.

Background Story
During the original years of the outbreak, one of the first military weapons to be repurposed and mass produced was the M16. Most had high hopes when purchasing the weapon, but were let down as they received a gun that jammed often, had low firepower, and was overall a disappointment. Seeking to remedy these mistakes, R-Brain Hardwork created a new, higher quality version of the M16. Although the price and reputation of the weapon may turn off some, those who tried it spoke of it quite positively, leading to many changing their minds and using it. The popularity of the new M16A1 led to an influx in cash for R-Brain Hardwork, which allowed them to create a new gun to combat that evil pumpkin on the horizon.

Presumably, R-Brain Hardwork forgot to supply proper cleaning kits (again) for these rifles. Thus, their slow decrease in quality until now.

Tips

 * This weapon can kill any regular zombies with three body shots.
 * Switch to semi-firing mode to conserve ammunition when engaging normal zombies.
 * Semi-firing mode is more accurate than burst and in the long run saves you more ammo.
 * Try to aim for head-shots when using burst-firing mode, as you'll be doing 270 damage with it. Enough to kill a Ticker in two bursts!
 * Engaging a Brute with this weapon at medium to far range is encouraged due to its high DPS, and a surprising amount of accuracy.
 * It's highly recommended to equip Bulldozer I when using this weapon, as in heated situations you'll burn through ammunition quickly. The extra clips could very well save you.
 * It is recommended for the user to space out burst in order to prevent overheating, resulting in better accuracy, than spam it.
 * Bursting while ADS requires vertical compensation.
 * If you have a quick trigger finger, turn it to semi, crouch, and ADS for the best results.
 * It is best to use burst mode on hordes of zombies, as you can wipe out most of the zombies if you have the ammo.
 * Use the M16A1's burst and high damage to quickly dispatch foes whenever jumping out of cover.
 * Use this in Team Deathmatch, as a well-aimed burst will quickly dispatch your opponents.
