In 1969, the M16A1 replaced the M14 The M16 rifle to become was also the Ufirst instance of .S223 (5. 56mm) calibre intermediate rifle cartridge deployed by NATO nations in military's standard service rifle. The M16A1 improvements include a bolt-assistoffenses, chrome plated bore and a new 30designed especially for the Armalite AR-round magazine15 rifle. The U.S. Army XM16E1 was essentially 223 Remington cartridge developed since 1957, would accompany the same weapon as newly adopted M16 rifle into the M16 oversea conflict. This munition would be fired from a 20 inch barrel with the addition of a forward assist and corresponding notches in the bolt carrier. The M16A1 was 1:12 twist rate, from the finalized production model M16s rifles used in 1967Vietnam.
To address issues raised by M16A1 rifle classifies as a 5.56mm calibre, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle, with a rotating bolt. The rifle uses the XM16E1direct-impingement from Eugene Stoner's testing cycleAR-15 rifle. Several improvements were made from the original model 604 rifles, such as the redesigned bolt carrier, the introduction of a closedforward-assist, a new bird-cage style flash suppressor replaced . Other ergonomic features were also added, such as the slightly larger hollowed out fiberglass buttstock for cleaning kits, grooving ribs on the XM16E1receiver preventing magazine release being accidentally pressed and covering newly designed 's threetake-pronged flash suppressor which caught on twigs and leavesdown screw' spring mechanisms. Various other changes were made after numerous problems in The most important change was the field. Cleaning kits were developed and issued while barrels with chrome-plated chambers bore as well as bolt carrier, after changing out the bore assembly the rifle's malfunction rate declined and later fully lined bores were introducedthe early problems experienced by M16 subsided, improving the overall performance of the rifle in tropical environments.
With these Other features on the rifle includes the rear aperture fixed on the carrying handle, can be flipped and other changesadjusted between two sizes, front iron sight is fixed on the malfunction rate slowly declined post above the barrel and new soldiers were generally unfamiliar with early problemsin front of the triangular hand guard, mounting of optics would have to be directly attached to the carrying handle. A rib was built into Selective fire handle can be found on the left side of the receiver on the XM16E1 to help prevent accidentally pressing the magazine release button while closing the ejection port cover, toggles between semi and fully automatic fires. This rib M16A1 rifle was later extended on production M16A1s to help in preventing widely deployed with the 20-round capacity aluminium box magazine release from inadvertently being pressed. The hole in the bolt that accepts the cam pin was crimped inward on one side, however a 30-round capacity magazine were also developed and deployed in such a way that limited numbers by the cam pin may not be inserted with deployment of the bolt installed backwardsrifle, which eventually US military would cause failures step up to eject until correctedthe 30-round capacity magazines and made it into the classification of NATO STANAG.

The fact that she uses flashbang, a great tanking skill, Many other nations would also adds to her ability use M16A1 rifles as a tanker.

M16A1 works great side-by-side with {{doll name|RO635|SMG|5}}. First off, they both benefit from each other's formation buff when placed this way. Secondly, their skills work together great as well. RO635's mental shock ability decreases enemy's firepower, letting you make the most of M16A1's armor against weaker enemies.design=

In 1964, the M16 entered American military service and the following year was deployed for jungle warfare operations during the Vietnam War. Soon enough several problems were found with the rifle, the feedbacks from the US soldiers pushed further development on the rifle. An initial experimental XM16E1 (Colt model 603) was deployed for testing. After another round of live actions and feedbacks, the design on the final production model M16A1 was finalised in 1967. By the event Tet offensive carried out by Communist factions of Vietnam in 1968, XM16E1 and M16A1 were more widely deployed among US forces.

M16A1 is designed by the same artist as most of the AR Squadron, UmiNeko (海猫络合物), who also illustrated {{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, her deeper and more mature voice, the way she looks out for her younger sisters, and the way she acts.

| trivia =
**Both the official manga and the mobile game have M16 shouldering her weapon on her right side and aiming down her sights despite having an eyepatch over her right eye. This is likely another reference to Naked Snake who often shoots while aiming down the sights with his eyepatch. The same could be said about her in-game Chibi-sprites which also shoulders the gun on her right side despite having her right eye covered by her eye-patch.
* The official manga of Girls' Frontline depicts M16 as being ambidextrous.* M16A1 is the only AR able to equip both an exo and an armor plate at the same time.* M16A1 shares the same headset that {{doll name|PP-19|SMG|4}} and {{doll name|SCW|SMG|3}} wear, which is the MSA Sordin Supreme.*M16A1 having two 'Doll' equipment slots means she is the only AR able to equip both an exo-skeleton and an armor plate at the same time, as you cannot equip the two of the same series of equipment at the same time.**This also makes M16A1 the only AR doll in the game not being able to equip an optic.*In Vietnam War, some of M16A1 Re-Tooled it's magazine chamber to feed 30-rounds AK-47/Type 56 magazine in order to increase its reliability and additional firepower. Later the same method was applied to SR-47, a modified version of AR-15 that able to feed AK-47 mags, while had been rejected in U.S Military Service due the several major flaws.
