M-16/FC5

The M-16 Assault Rifle is a weapon found in Far Cry 5.
==Far Cry 5==
The perks of the M-16 over the modern AR-C are dubious at best; the AR-C has identical stats, except having an additional point in the Handling, with 5 to the M-16's 4. Outside of the "classic" aesthetic to the firearm, it is statistically worse. They both have a 30-round capacity, and both hold 40 rounds when an Extended Magazine is upgrade is used; as well, both have the semi-automatic, 3-round-burst, and automatic fire modes.
Along with the stats, the M16 uses the same animations and sound effects as the AR-C, making this weapon a reskinned version of it. If that doesn't bother you however, it is a very cool weapon to use.
It is obtained for free via ownership of the Hours of Darkness expansion. Like the other bonus weapons from owning the expansion, it has no skins available. However, it can be fitted with a suppressor, optical sight, and extended magazine.

==Trivia==
*The description text mentioning that it is "perfect for jungle warfare" is somewhat dubious itself, as first generation M16/XM16E1 models proved  to be notoriously unreliable in the damp, humid climates of Southeast Asia, due to improper gunpowder used in rifle's cartridges, chambers and barrels lacking chrome lining and the weapon being erroneously marketed as self-cleaning (thus leading to weapon not being cleaned for prolonged periods) and having no cleaning kits supplied. However, in M16A1 variant most of the issues were rectified with weapon achieving quite decent reliability (however, with the damage to its reputation already being done). This line could however be  just a nod to Hours Of Darkness DLC.
*The M-16 in Far Cry 5 is an M16A1, as it has a "teardrop" style forward assist on the right side of the weapon's upper receiver, and a birdcage flash suppressor.
*As the M-16 in Far Cry 5 has a fixed carrying handle, the optical sight uses an additional Weaver Rail attachment.
