The FAMAS has the same calibre (5.56mm) and mag size (30 rounds) as the M16 so YES It can use the STANAG Magazine from the M16. However, this only applies to the current production FAMAS G2 - the original FAMAS F1, first fielded in 1977, uses a proprietary 25 round magazine, and also has a 1 in 12 rifling pitch, making it incapable of stabilizing the 62 grain NATO standard SS109 projectile.

How many bullets does a famas hold?
The original production model - the FAMAS F1 - came with 25 round magazines. The current production model - the FAMAS G2 - uses STANAG 4179 magazines (common to the M16, FN FNC, HK416, CETME Model L, L85/SA80, etc. The 'standard' for these is 30 rounds, although they can be had in five, ten, 20, 30, 35, 40, or 50 rounds, as well as the 90 round drum and the infamous (but ineffective) 100 round Beta-C magazine.
How many rounds of bullet does an M16 have?
It depends strictly on the magazine. Some magazines hold 10 rounds, some hold 30 or more.
Which weapon is better in terms of reliability the FAMAS or the M16?
On paper, the FAMAS has the advantage of using a gas piston system, vs. the direct impingement system of the M16. However, I'm not aware of any direct comparisons which have been conducted between the two, and it should be noted that there are select units of the French military which use the M16 and M4, rather than their standard issue FAMAS. It's also worthy of mention that the French have resorted to using steel cased ammo, as the extraction from the FAMAS is very violent and has shown a tendency to tear apart brass cases in the chamber.
Which is more powerful M16 or SKS?
The SKS packs a bigger round (7.62mm) than the m16 (5.56mm) but the m16 has a higher magazine capacity, better accuracy,and a higher rate of fire, so the SKS is more powerful, but the m16 is generally regarded as a better weapon.

Better is a very relative term. Each rifle has strengths and weaknesses which come at a trade off owing to design features specific to each rifle.
