How many rounds did the M16 rifle clip hold?
The clips themselves held ten rounds each. Those were used to load magazines, which varied in capacity. In the earlier stages of the M16s service life, 20 round magazines were the standard issue. In the late 1960s, 30 round magazines became available, and have been the standard since. Magazines of varying capacities have been designed for the M16, AR-15, and other rifle types which use the STANAG 4179 magazine. Five and ten round magazines were manufactured for the civil market, while magazines in capacities of 35 and 60 rounds, as well as drum magazines with capacities of 90, 100, and 120 rounds, have been manufactured.

How much does a airsoft m16 mag hold?
It depends on if it is a mid or high cap magazine. Their are also low caps that are used for military purposes, they hold 30 rounds and are not meant for recreational or professional airsofters. Do not use them! Mid caps hold 120 rounds. High caps hold 350 rounds. Both of those numbers are specific to m16 btw. You can also get drum mags the can hold 2500 round and you can get them to be both manual wind and a battery powered wind.

About 650 rounds per minute. You will use up an entire 30-round magazine in just a few seconds of constant trigger pull. That's why M16A2 has only single shot, and 3 round burst switch.
What is the halflife of an M16?
Of course, "halflife" is not the correct term to use in this context, so I am supposing that you are asking how long as in "how many years of use" or "how many rounds fired" can you expect an M16 to function. This is also called "service life". The answer depends entirely on how the machine is treated. If it is properly cleaned and has minor parts replaced as they wear and break, the rifle will last for many years and/or many tens of thousands of rounds. You can research the endurance testing that the US Army has employed to determine the tolerance to hard use. "Halflife" refers to radioactive material and is the amount of time required for half of the material to decay.
