The M16 has been the main infantry and Special Forces weapon of the United States, as well as over two dozen western countries, for almost three decades. It is the rifle that others are compared against. It was first used in Vietnam. The A2 variant was introduced in
the late 1970's. It has an increased barrel diameter, and the rifling is changed from 1:12 to 1:7 to accommodate the new round developed by Belgium's Fabrique Nationale. This round extended the range of the rifle, and propelled a 62gr bullet with a steel core at over 3000 fps. The rear sight was modified to allow more accurate adjustments of windage by hand, as well as for elevation calibrated out to 800 meters. It incorporated a case deflector to prevent brass from hitting left-handed firers, and new round handguards to replace the older triangular design. Also, full-auto capability was replaced with a three-shot burst. This allowed for more controlled firing, as well as greater accuracy as all three rounds are downrange before the effects of recoil can impact their path.
This gas powered replica shoots 6mm BB pellets. It has a capacity of 20 rounds of ammo, and fires at a powerful 195 feet per second.
