What is best the M16 or M4?

Both guns are very excellent guns, but it just depends on the situation.

Overall, I think the m16 is better, but that's just my opinion. Besides, there are better guns than the m16 series such as the m468 with its heavier round, and the scar with its interchangability between the 556 round and the 762 round.
