Porter Justice here and this is my brief experimentation of the first Assault Rifle in Modern Warfare 3. After using the Tar 21 I began using M164A in Modern Warfare 2 and it was BEAST. In Black Ops not so much, I just used it for nostalgia and because I like burst weapons a little more.

I decided since I am normally in a party instead of dealing with those scrubby ass Green arrows aka randoms...I could afford to use the M16A4. I consider myself a good player not because of what tactics, guns or perks I use but because of the common sense aspect most players lack. So party + some skill should equal = right? Well I will say this:

The Type 95 is easier to use because it's stronger although I don't think it's the easiest gun to use in the game. M16A4 typically takes 2 bursts to kill and is pretty accurate so as long as you have some type of aim you should be fine. However the biggest downside is at close range. M16A4 has at times taken me TWO BURSTS at close range to kill someone. I've died like this a couple times at close range and thought if I had Type 95, Scar, ACR, AK47 I would've have died. So you don't have to play defensive but don't think you're running in to enemy spawns and tearing shit up with the M164A


Now, MW3 the Type 95(get mad) :carling: is my 2nd most used gun behind the ACR and it reminds me of the MW2 FAMAS WITHOUT Stopping Power, you can get 1 bursts up close and the gun is crazy accurate. I've heard the complaints since people hate "overpowered guns" which is always the dumbest complaint in any COD in my opinion not to mention the biggest scapegoat next to "camping" I mean people hate campers but even IF you rush them, you'll get hell if your gun is "too powerful"...The SAME GUN THEY COULD BE USING IF THEY WANTED TO...The FAMAS of BO and UMP of MW2 were the only two guns that were a little OP but it's not going to make bad players good, but they could make good players way better.

M16A4 is a rewarding gun to use. If you're good with burst weapons and liked the M16 or G11(pre-patch) of Black Ops you have a shot(see what I did there :lol: ) with this weapon. I would advise you to have another class setup in case you face a really good team or are playing on a really small map. I use Assault and Specialist only(Support noobs get mad :carling: ) so I'd say Pred-Attack Heli-Reaper or Pred-Reaper-Pavelow are my streaks of choice with this. Red Dot, Rapid Fire, Shotgun are good attachments. 2 Attachments, Focus or Flinch are good Proficiencies. I'd stay away from Silencer as it will hurt the damage at ranges even more.

I will use this gun for the rest of my current prestige to get it gold however I'm not too sure if I will use it again. My gun K/D is 1.85 with M16A4...My gun K/D with Type 95 is 1.80....Which is a product of me knowing which maps to use burst weapons on, having full 9 man parties and also facing scrubs and splitscreen guys that would let an M16A4 outgun their UMPs, P90s and ACRs. Give it a go.

I got M16 to level 24 yesterday and I must say it is a good weapon, but one fire can screw up your accuracy and lead you to you're death, not only that, you can really only get a kill with it if no one is shooting at you or if you are shooting someone from the back. It is usually a 1-2 burst kill so the enemy can't react, but if they do, you will find yourself a harder time killing them.

I'm terrible with the M16 lmao. I got it gold last prestige, but my k/d with it is only 1.62 (partly because I played mostly solo while I was leveling it).

It's a fun gun to use, but it can be frustrating at times, especially when you're playing with decent players on your team because of all of the assists you get.

*Update*

So I only managed to get M16 to Autumn camo before deciding to hang it up. We kept going up against good teams for once, and when faced with MP7s, PP90M1s, ACRs, Strikers, having an M16 just wasn't a solid decision lol. Unless you get a nice, smooth lagless game, you get owned using M16 against good players, unless you play super defensive which isn't what I wanna have to do.

I still think the m16 is beasty there was a vid posted on machinima about how the type 95 + fm9's + striker are all getting patched when the new dlc is released on the 24th. I plan to use the m16 instead of the type 95 when it happens.

why the hell do they keep trying to patch guns? The ACR is just as good. The Type 95 is the beast gun that people are ashamed to use. The ACR is the beast gun, people accept because they like it.

Nerfing guns only promotes less gun variety. They could have buffed the M16's close range ability. I've never made an FMG class and the only thing about them is people who suck can ruin your streaks.

I don't mind beast players raping with them. It's when some guy with a Riot Shield goes 12-25 getting 1 killstreaks by using them. Mostly because he knows he'll get a Noob Bomber whether he is good with them or not. Pretty much nerfs only appease players who believe guns, perks,and tactics are the reason they die.

it's not the gear - it's the player
That being said the only thing that should be nerfed is last stand/dead mans hand
Last stand - should be pistol only dead mans hand - hits you from to far away.

I hate the way the M16 sucks in all the latest CoD titles. Amazing in cod4 and MW2. Crap in BO and now this game...

its good in hardcore Snd, only gun I use :y:

I played with the M16 for a while in Mw3 but it is really annoying when you bump into someone in a stairway or a doorway.
