The standard rifle of the Army Men for years until the early 2000s

“Sure, the rifle may seen boring, but without this little baby you won’t live long enough to get fun playtoys like bazookas and mortars” – Sarge

The M-16 is the standard issue weapon for all new plastic recruits. This 0,556 mm rifle not only does provide adequate protection and firepower, its ability to be fired on the run as well as from any position makes this a great weapon. Aim your weapon using the gunsight for best results.

Army Men M-16 in history

The M16 rifle, also called AR-15 (semi-automatic rifle based on or similar to it), was a compressed air propelled plastic assault rifle developed by the Green army in the late 1950s. The rifle received high marks for its light weight, its accuracy, and the volume of fire that it could provide. Helped to win the war in the hands of the Green army after the other military nations rejected this design in favor of the M14.

Although they are no longer officially in active service, some can still be seen in the Plastic World, the only place where they still have some firepower. Currently, compared to its predecessors and especially metal weapons, the M16, being made of plastic, causes much less damage.

Real behind the game facts:

Although this rifle will be available during Army Men Revolution, it will actually be a very weak weapon, since it is a very old weapon, made of plastic and it’s not comparable to metal weapons and those of the latest technology. Will be a weak weapon compared to other weapons in the other universes, like the Real World. But will be a powerful / normal weapon in the Plastic World. Weapons from other worlds will stop working in the Plastic World eventually, or will be nerfed.
