M16A1 and M16A4 as new guns

[unkempt oasis]

I think it'd be pretty cool to have members of the M16 series in the game. It's a weird omission.

The reason I choose the M16A1 and the M16A4 rather than the M16A3 and the M16A4 is to have an excuse for the stats being a bit different. The A1 could have more recoil and less mag size in exchange for a bit more damage while the A4 could only be burst, low recoil, but also slightly lower damage. I think it'd be a fun way to not only add a burst weapon, but a full auto variant.

Plus the style points of the old M16A1 and skin potential, ya know.

is say just m16a4

would be too many m4 clones if we did both]

[zealous tendon]

m16 clones*

able to have skins for the various variants would be a nice touch

[reef crypt]

what niche would this fill

[glacial bear]

could potentially be a range focused AR, better mid and mid-long range ability than the m4, but not as effective long tange

[reef crypt]

so like the aug?

[zealous tendon]

compares 5.56 weapons to other 5.56 weapons, also asks for niche

[candid axle]

i want the m203 with the m16

[errant loom]

caliber doesnt matter its a game

[zealous tendon]

Niche doesn't matter either, choices that fit the same niche is actually better for the game

[edgy cliff]

We need some weapons that only have burst fire modes tbh

[zealous tendon]

those guns really don't exist unless we pull some old variants out, will people even use them in anything but single?

[errant loom]

isn't m16a3 burst

Nvm it isn't

[unkempt oasis]

A4 is burst, every other A isn't

I thought having a burst and non burst varient would be pretty cool!

I wanted the A1 purely because since it's an older model it might be a cool way to have some different stats for it

My favorite gun from BF4, the M16A4 for controlled burst action.

So much fun because you could play more grounded picking people off at a distance, or play aggro and be at a semi disadvantage, but it was still doable. Also learning the burst timing so you could get as close to the rpm limit as you could without going too fast and making the gun not fire was a lot of fun to get better at.

Afaik the AN-94 is already confirmed as well, so it seems like burst fire is at least planned, if not already being worked on.

[unkempt oasis]

the AN 94 is a bit of a special burst gun

so having a "normal" burst gun would be good as well

[light wyvern]

so just to be blunt, how would they differ from the rest of the ARs?

like stats wise & such

[unkempt oasis]

TBH, I don't really care. I just want them in the game lol.

Ain't my job to make 'em different

I just said how they'd be different from each other

The M16A1 I imagine could be a more unweidly AR version of the M4, while the M16A4 could be a slightly lower power burst version of the M4. Both of which having AR range and such.

Reloads could be different and all that of course. Mag size I mentioned could be diff as well. i believe the OG A1 had a 20 round mag? So maybe it could be a bit stronger than expected? Unsure.

[zealous tendon]

more choices in the same niche, long as its not just constatnly one niche/class, would always be better

[zealous tendon]

m16a1 gets all the weird Nam attachments, quick mag is the taped thing some soldiers did, extended mag is the 30 rounder so on

[cedar root]

I thought the A2 was burst as well? (Honestly the A2 has the best aesthetic with the fixed carry handle)

[zealous tendon]

2 and 4, I forgot 4 was burst as well
