“ An assault rifle used by the U.S. Army. - In-game Description”
The M16 was added to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands as apart of the Predator Pack in the in-game store for 2600 credits.
The M16 is visually based the converted AR-15 used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 film Predator, but was altered in several ways including a detachable carry handle and Picatinny rail on the receiver for mounting optics, an underbarrel rail for replacing the grenade launcher with a foregrip or rail cover, and rail sections on the sides of the handguard for attaching a laser or rangefinder. Additionally, the barrel model was reused from the M4A1 as evidenced by the presence of the M203 groove ahead of the front sight post.
By default, the M16 equipped with a burst (3 round burst)/automatic trigger mod, although this can be changed via Gunsmith to either the semi/burst or semi/auto trigger options.
Unlike other customizable weapons, the M16 is equipped with an M203 grenade launcher by default even if the player has not acquired the grenade launcher skill. Removing the launcher prior to acquiring the skill will render it unusable until said skill has been acquired, however.
As of December 2020, the Predator Pack was removed from the game due to the licence expiring, rendering M16s unavailable to acquire directly and only obtainable through loot boxes.
