Obviously, there are more than the 5 generally allowed standard attachments for weapons. The Gunfighter Wildcard must be equipped to equip the M16 according to our loadout guide. Gunfighter is not unlocked until rank 27.
le Axial arms 3x Optic maintains a solid balance between short and long term commitments. A steady hand can use this weapon with lethal effect on various cards thanks to the glare-free sight.
The draw for SOCOM eliminator The muzzle is not concealing the flash of the muzzle. The focus is on reducing vertical recoil control, providing a noticeable improvement for this 3-shot burst weapon on consecutive shots. Horizontal recoil takes a slight hit, but it's not a bad compromise.
le 20,5 ″ working group The barrel comes together in a handful of upgrades. Damage, damage range, and bullet speed are all increased. Targets will drop faster without the need to lead moving enemies into engagements that extend slightly beyond mid range. Horizontal and vertical recoil are the victims of this attachment, but their decrease is absorbed elsewhere.
le Constant sight laser Bodily attachment doesn't immediately seem to be of much use, as the hip shot won't be used too often. Choosing to use this attachment is simply undoing the decrease in statistics found on the inventory.
le Foregrip field agent Fixing under the barrel restores (and more) the horizontal and vertical recoil stat decreases seen elsewhere.
le 45 towers The magazine can make the difference in a firefight, thanks to the increase of fifteen shots per mag. That's five more bursts before you need to reload. Considering how powerful the M16 is, these five bursts can clean areas well.
le Airborne elastic band The handle gives the operator resistance to flinch. Staying on target while taking hits will be a snap. Not to mention that this attachment further improves ADS. The biggest downside is the reduction from sprint time to shot time, but it's reversed by another prop.
le Buffer tube Stock adds that lost sprint to cut back on time and kickstart it even more. It comes with hip shot shooting accuracy, which won't be viable most of the time, but the body attachment above takes the negative out of the equation.
