M16A1

The M16 (more formally Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the U.S. military designation for the ArmaLite AR-15 rifle. Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 and currently uses that designation only for semi-automatic versions of the rifle.

During the San Hieronymo Takeover, an M16A1 was placed in the main office of the Soviet Patrol Base, where Big Boss and his Resistance later procured it with or without the help of their Spy Unit.

In Operation Peace Walker, the M16A1 was utilized by the Militaires Sans Frontieres, which was one of their standardized weapons alongside the Mk. 22 Hush Puppy. It also came with many add ons and derivatives, and was among the most versatile weapons.

An advanced, lightweight assault rifle developed by the U.S. Army in a departure from the traditional large-caliber infantry rifle. Also known as the "black rifle" due to the color of its frame, which is largely made of plastic. Notable for its use during the Vietnam War, where it made a name for itself with its superior performance.

The M16A1 uses small-caliber, low-recoil ammunition, and as a result its firing accuracy is truly impressive.

M653
A carbine offshot of the M16, developed for use by commandos. It takes the superior capabilities of the original M16 and puts them into a lighter, more compact package. These qualities make it ideal for extended solo missions; as such it is the weapon of choice for many Special Forces units.

The M653's easy handling allows for a more stable aim, resulting in a high firing accuracy.
