"PUTT PUTT PUTT: (Player) picked off (kills) people with the M16." - Round Report
The M16 is an Assault Rifle found in Trouble in Terrorist Town, accessible to all roles through map spawns.
Overview[]
The M16 is designed to be used in mid-range combat. While its firerate is comparatively slow to assault rifles from other shooters, it is only behind the Glock, MAC10, and H.U.G.E-249 in TTT, making it middle of the road in that regard.
While the M16 doesn't have the firerate or damage to win close gunfights against the MAC10 or Shotgun respectively, nor the accuracy and damage to face the Rifle at range, it makes up for that by being consistently okay enough at all ranges to have a versatile fighting chance in most situations.
A combination of low recoil, tight spread, and a generous amount of time before the magazine is depleted makes the M16 one of the easier weapons to use in the game. This ease of use combined with its consistently average performance at all ranges makes it the jack of all trades, master of none within TTT.

Trivia[]
- The M16 was added to the game in the 28/10/09 update.
- Before this update, the M16's model was used on the "Carbine" weapon, which essentially served the same purpose as the Rifle today.
- The M16 is the only weapon capable of zooming in through its iron sights. The Rifle uses its scope instead.
- The M16 was the first weapon to not spawn on Zombie Master maps by default. This is reflected in its classname: "weapon_ttt_m16" instead of the "weapon_zm" prefix of previous weapons.
- Despite being called the M16, it uses the Maverick M4A1 Carbine model from Counter-Strike: Source.
Version History[]
v281009
- Added the M16, a slower machinegun for mid-range. Uses pistol ammo and does similar damage, but fires faster and has zooming ironsights. Must be placed by mappers (weapon_ttt_m16, in FGD) and is not automatically compatible with ZM maps. On HL2DM maps, will replace the combine rifle. Includes search icon and awards. The M16 rifle gets its name from the Mangy 16. This legendary band of 15 albatrosses and one piece of plastic was famed for its battle against beach-based crime in the sixties.
v281009b
- Fixed M16 icon not being autodownloaded
- Fixed M16 not being classified as heavy weapon, allowing you to carry eg. shotgun + m16
v291009
- Made M16 slightly more accurate, and made MAC10 slightly less accurate. The M16 is for medium range, but was less accurate than the MAC10 before this change.
