The maximum range of the M16 rifle is 3,534 meters. The maximum effective range of the M16 rifle (point target) is 550 meters, which is about 600 yards, and around 800 meters (area target), which is around 875 yards. Point target is you aiming directly at your target (accounting for windage and elevation as necessary). Area target is basically you shooting at a range beyond that where you can aim directly for your target, but there is still a chance the round will hit. Of course, the actual effective range also depends on the user's marksmanship.

The M16 family of rifles have an effective range of 550 meters for a point target and 800 meters for an area target.
550 m for point targets and 800 for area targets.
The maximum range (not the maximum range where you can consistently hit a target) varies depending on the loading of the cartridge, weight and shape of the bullet, and barrel length. For an M16 rifle, the maximum range is about 2653 meters. However, longer barrels, bullets with a better ballistic coefficient, etc, can increase that to about 3600 meters. Your mileage may vary.
Magazines for the M16 are made in 20 and 30 round capacity.
The effective range of an M16 assault rifle with 20-inch barrel is 550 meters for a point target, and 800 meters for an area target.
The M16 assault rifle has a greater range than the M4 carbine as a result of its 20-inch barrel, compared with 14.5 for the M4. The M16 can hit an area target out to 800 meters while the M4 is effective to 600 meters.
The effective range of an M16 assault rifle with a 20 inch barrel is 550 meters for a point target, and up to 800 meters for an area target.
That depends on which range you mean. Since they both use the same ammo the maximum range is the same 3600 meters. However the effictive ranges are different due to the barrel length difference: The M16A2 max range for a point target is 550m, the M4 is 500m. The M16A2 max range for a area target is 800m, the M4 is 600m.
