The M16 is probably the most famous of all weapons used by the American military. The weapon is a fully automatic rifle that was first developed in the 1960's and was used as the primary infantry weapon in the Vietnam War.

It has remained the primary infantry weapon of the US infantry since this time and its use has been expanded into NATO where 15 NATO affiliated nations employ the weapon in their military operations.

Airsoft M16 Game Play

While the M16 is a great weapon by itself, its ability to provide successful game play can be enhanced by the inclusion of a number of accessories. Namely, adding stocks, laser sights, and a grenade launcher can all add to the ability to use this weapon for gaining game play objectives.

Many of these airsoft guns already come with a number of these accessories, but if your particular model does not have them, you could always a purchase them separately.

On a side note, it is important not to confuse the M16 with the Airsoft M4. The M4 was essentially the prototype for the M16 and it is a bit bulkier.

The Airsoft M4 gun is, however, an excellent weapon, but it handles differently than the M16. So, those looking for a pure M16 style would be advised to purchase the M16 style only replica airsoft guns.
