The M16 (more formally Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the United States military designation for the AR-15 rifle. Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 from ArmaLite and currently uses that designation only for semi-automatic versions of the rifle.
The M16 entered United States Army service as the M16A1 and was deployed for jungle warfare in South Vietnam in 1963,[3] becoming the standard U.S. rifle of the Vietnam War by 1969;[4] replacing the M14 rifle in that role. The U.S. Army retained the M14 in CONUS, Europe, and South Korea until 1970. Since the Vietnam War, the M16 rifle family has been the primary infantry rifle of the U.S. military. With its variants, it has been in use by 15 NATO countries, and is the most produced firearm in its caliber.
The M16 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle, with a rotating bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation. The rifle is made of steel, aluminum, composite plastics and polymer materials.
The U.S. Air Force's rifle, the M16, and the United States Marine Corps and Army rifle, the XM16E1, were the first versions of the

The Daewoo K7 was announced in 2003 as a 9 mm silenced submachine gun (with permanent suppressor) for use with the South-Korean special forces. It is based on the K1A infantry rifle, from which the receiver and telescopic buttstock was copied. It was first displayed in the United Arab Emirates in the IDEX (International Defense EXhibition and Conference) 2003 convention. //
DesignAs the K7 uses a subsonic 9 mm cartridge, there is little need for the weapon to use the Kalashnikov-derived gas operated system of the K1A. Instead, the K7 has a pure blow back system. A 30-round vertical box magazine is used and it can use 30-round magazines taken from IMI Uzis or 32-round magazine from Beretta Model 12s. As the original K1A magazine well was retained, there are internal accommodations for the smaller 9 mm magazine. There are 3 firing modes, single shot, a 3-round burst and fully automatic. However, using fully automatic fire will quickly damage the baffles in the suppressor. As a result of the light bolt, a cyclic rate of fire of 1150 rounds per minute is achieved. The iron sights of the K1A were adapted for use with the low velocity and restricted range of the gun.
SuppressorThe suppressor reduces the gas pressure, and the already low velocity of the subsonic cartridge reduces the firing signature significantly. Also, the suppressor distorts the sound so that it is barely recognisable as a gunshot. But just as important, the suppressor contains the entire muzzle flash so that the firer's position is hard to detect, even at night. The noise caused by a K7 is 120 decibels.[citation needed]

SSBB vs SMG Which is better without friends?
SSBB definitely! :D
What gun is better the M16 or the UMP45?
UMP45 because its automatic and overpowered. The only benefit with the the M16 is that it has barely any recoil. I would go with the UMP45. It's really a comparison of apples and oranges. The UMP is a submachinegun, whereas the M16 is an assault rifle. The UMP fires a pistol cartridge, thus, you're looking at an effective range of 50 to 100 metres, vs. the M16, which has an effective range of 550 metres at a point target.
M16 vs ak47?
The answer is simple. AK can break through concrete, M16 can't. Run over AK with Humvee, it still works, M16 will break to pieces. Bury an AK in dirt, still works fine. Bury an M16, doesn't work. Submerge an AK in water, works just great. Submerge an M16 in water, jams. The M16 is more accurate that the AK47. It has a higher muzzle velocity. It has a much higher rate of fire. The weight of a soldier's supply of rounds is much less with the M16. The AK has substantial impact at 300 - 600 meters. The M16 has very little impact at that range. This is because the AK uses 30 calibre (7.56 mm) bullets and the M16 uses 22 calibre (5.56 mm) bullets. The small diameter causes the bullet to slow from air resistance quite rapidly. The M16 has a problem (as do all rapid-firing ultralight assault rifles) of overheating when firing long bursts. One method that some American instructors taught their soldiers to destroy weapons that had to be left behind was to fire a full 20 round clip and then push the barrel against the ground. The barrel will warp. The AK is much more resilient.
Is a scar-h stronger than a m16?
It fires a much more powerful cartridge (7.62x51 vs. 5.56x45), and uses a more reliable short stroke gas piston system vs. the direct impingement system of the M16. The one possible drawback would be apparent if the magazines were poorly made... I doubt the magazines designed by FN would be, but knowing how US government contracting works, an aftermarket manufacturer producing inferior quality magazines would likely be selected (as what happened with the M9 pistol).
What is better ar-15 or m-16?
The M16 is an AR-15. "M16" is simply a military nomenclature. As far as military rifles vs. civilian variants, the military rifles are manufactured under much more strict conditions than rifles manufactured for civilian sales. Actually, the above is incorrect. The manufacturing process for an AR-15 is the exact same as for an M16; the sole difference is a very minor mechanical one - the M16 is designed for selective fire (the option to fire in an automatic mode), while the AR-15 is semi-automatic only. Now, there are a variety of clones of the AR-15 design, and the quality on those varies, but actual AR-15s are produced by the same people as the M16, using the same equipment. Roughly 90% of the AR-15 parts are identical to those used in the M16. Objectively, the M16 is better than the AR-15 for only one reason: it also offers the option to shoot in a 3-round bursts, in addition to semi-automatic mode. That's the only difference.
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.
Is a m16 better then a p90?
yes the reasons are: *options on rate of fire (semi auto-auto vs just auto) *more readily available ammo (5.56 cal) *more accurate *easier magazine release *easier to open and clean, fix, maintain

World War 2 and the Vietnam War?
1. WWII, first war in history in which every US fighting man was armed with a semi-automatic rifle, the M1 Garand. WWII created the AIRBORNE divisions (paratroopers). 2. Vietnam, first war in history in which every US fighting man was armed with a fully-automatic rifle, the M16 Jungle Rifle (assault rifle). Vietnam War created the AIRMOBILE divisions (helicopters). Note: Secretary of Defense McNamara "clarified the M16" for jungle warfare only.
