| weaponinfo = The M16 rifle, officially designated as the 'Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16', is a United States the US military adaptation version of the Armalite AR-15 rifle. In 1964It is an air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle with a rotating bolt, the M16 entered American military service and utilizes the following year was deployed direct-impingement system from Eugene Stoner's AR-15 rifle. Colt's model name for jungle warfare operations during the Vietnam WarM16 rifle was 'Colt Model 603'.[1]

In 1969During the early years of the Vietnam War, the M16A1 replaced US troops were outfitted with the M14 battle rifle to become , chambering the U7.S62x51mm NATO cartridge. military's standard service Reports from in the field indicated several problems with the M14, with the most often-cited complaints being that the rifleand its ammo were too heavy, and that the gun was nigh uncontrollable in full auto thanks to its powerful cartridge. The M16A1 improvements include Calls for a boltnew infantry rifle chambering an intermediate cartridge began to grow. In 1958, the US Army ran experiments with small squads in combat situations using the current M14, the AR-assist15 rifle, chrome plated bore and a new 30-round magazinethird rifle designed by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The U.Sresulting study recommended adopting a lightweight infantry rifle like the AR-15. In response to this study, the Army XM16E1 was essentially elected to instead ramp up production of the same weapon as M14. However, the M16 with AR-15 had gotten the addition attention of a forward assist and corresponding notches in the bolt carrierUS Air Force. The M16A1 was After conducting its own test of the AR-15, the US Air Force decided to adopt the finalized production model in 1967rifle as standard issue, and ordered 8,500 AR-15s.

To address issues raised by Extensive tests were conducted on the AR-15 in 1962 and 1963. While most evaluators praised the XM16E1weapon's testing cyclelight weight, a closedreliability, bird-cage flash suppressor replaced and effect on target, officials from the US Army Material Command cited issues with the XM16E1gun's three-pronged flash suppressor which caught on twigs long range accuracy and leaveslack of stopping power out at far ranges. Various other changes were made after numerous problems Despite these complaints, the US Special Forces would be given permission to adopt the AR-15 as standard issue in 1963. With so many within the Armed Forces speaking positively about the fieldAR-15, an investigation was opened into why the weapon had been rejected by the Army. Cleaning kits were developed The investigation found that the Army had rigged the previous tests, selecting tests that would favor the M14 and issued while barrels with chromechoosing match grade M14s to compete against factory stock AR-plated chambers and later fully lined bores were introduced15s.

Almost immediately, reports began to surface of issues with the rifle in the fact that she can equip armor plates along with exoskeletonfield. Despite all the modifications made prior to adoption, having the highest possible evasion among all armored dolls M16 still did not feature a chrome-plated chamber, which resulted in the gameissues with corrosion and stuck casings.

This might not have been as much of an issue if Colt had bothered to her ability ship the rifles with cleaning kits (Colt had marketed the M16 as a tanker'self-cleaning rifle', a claim with no basis in reality).

In the earlier AR-10, this carry handle was designed to protect the charging handle, however the charging handle was moved to the rear of the receiver on the M16. This large carry handle does make it difficult to put a scope onto the rifle, however. Modern versions of the M16 feature detachable carry handles and full-length Picatinny rails to allow easier mounting of optics. Other notable features of the A1 variant include the triangular black polymer handguard and 'bird cage' style flash hider. The magazines provided with the M16 were made of stamped aluminum, and were meant to be a lightweight, disposable item. Originally offered with 20 round magazines, the Army would later switch to larger, curved 30 round magazines. The M16 magazine became the basis of the NATO STANAG pattern magazine, which is used in numerous weapon systems around the world.

|design=[[File:AR-TEAM.jpg|right|thumb|AR Team Introduction]]M16A1 is designed by the same artist as most of the AR Squadron, UmiNeko (海猫络合物). UmiNeko is also responsible for illustrating {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}},{{doll name|M4 SOPMOD II|AR|4}} and {{doll name|RO635|SMG|5}}. M16's unique side bang colour is orange. M16 is depicted as the oldest out of all the AR team members, with her deeper and more mature voice, the way she looks out for her younger sisters, and the way she acts. As a core character, a certain degree of lore and character settings were put into her designs, which the artist shared in the official artbook of Girls' Frontline: ''A siscon. In light of the period when the original design was completed and saw use, I found suitably down-to-earth (or perhaps drab) elements and put them together.'' ''M16A1's clothes are more sensible compared to the other team members. Even her coat would just be a raincoat if she put it on properly. During the design phase, I decided on making her a mature, straightforward big sister type. She's the one who keeps the team together and no matter how much pain she goes through (or will go through), she needs to let the others see the happy side of her. That's probably why so many dolls regard her as an emotional safe harbor for them.'' ''She deliberately left her facial scar and eyepatch unfixed, in order to remind herself of the past and to keep herself alert. On that note, I've been meaning to draw prequel art of her when I find the time. This also means that only the M16A1 of this story has those scars. Other M16s' eyes should be fine.'' ''As for what's in the box, it contains several accessories she can choose from.''<ref name="artbook">{{cite|ab1|188-190}}</ref> Despite holding the standard Vietnam-era M16A1 in her CG art, her chibi sprite's M16 appears more like a modern AR-15 based carbines with the different parts, such as the 2nd/3rd generation collapsible stock of early AR-15 carbines, the upper receiver of an M16A1 (as noted by the lack of a brass deflector), the lower receiver of the XM16E1 prototype (as noted by the lack of fencing around the magazine release), the circular handguard of the CAR15, and the 14.5 inch barrel of the M4A1 rather than the 20 inch barrel of standard M16s. This is likely a mistake. | min_dmg= 18| max_dmg= 47| min_eva= 6| max_eva= 44| min_acc= 6| max_acc= 46| min_rof= 52| max_rof= 75| min_hp= 58| max_hp= 121| mov= 10 | slot1=magazine| slot2=doll| slot3=doll| use_Ballistic_Plate =1 |nonormalcraft=1|noheavycraft=1|statnotesreward=Quest Reward for Rewarded to players after clearing chapter 4-6for the first time.
