## Statistics

### Multiplayer

Despite sharing the same ammunition caliber as the LVMC, CYP-556 and the RC556, It deals a solid 45 damage for up to the three-forths of the weapon's effective range, making it capable of delivering one burst kills before reaching longer ranges, where it will deal thirty three damage.

The MK16A4 handling characteristics are good among assault rifles despite it's size. The MK16A4 allows the user to move at ninety percent of the base speed, aim down the sight in 250 milliseconds, and although it has a moderate hipfire spread and poor hipfire performance due to the burst firing and semi auto mechanism, the MK16A4 makes up for it with exceptionally quick reloads, taking 1.1 seconds to Reload Cancel the weapon. This speed is exceptionally quick, and allows users to be relatively safe when reloading and it is always best to aim down sights if the player wants the precision from the weapon.

The MK16A4 has the standard Assault Rifle magazine capacity of thirty rounds, or 45 with Extended Mags. The MK16A4 starts off with 150 rounds total when not using Scavenger Pro.

The MK16A4 has good accuracy. The iron sights may be a tad uncomfortable to use for some, but the MK16A4 has very low recoil in the burst, and courtesy of the burst delay, the MK16A4 will recenter perfectly for the next burst to ensue. This places the MK16A4 among the most accurate weapons in the game, which can help users in landing their consecutive bursts on target. The burst-fire, combined with the fairly high centerspeed, helps this even more so. This can allow it to put multiple bursts down range within an exceptionally small area in the same target, making it an Assault Rifle-DMR hybrid, that is capable of rivaling DMRs in long ranges.

The MK16A4 has the usual assortment of assault rifle attachments. The MK320 Grenade Launcher is a powerful tool in combat, and given the MK16A4 can easily get a one burst kill without Stopping Power, the MK16A4 can be a worthwhile assault rifle to use with a Grenade Launcher and Danger Close. The Shotgun adds a long range, low damage shotgun to the MK16A4. This is a notable improvement from the MK16A4's hipfire performance, making the Shotgun another worthwhile attachment.

The optical attachments has all standard assault rifle sights, but usually, the ACOG Scope outclasses the other optical attachments due to its great accuracy bonus due to it's low idle sway (Except for the Telescopic Sight that has higher magnification and idle sway). The ACOG Scope is one of the most popular attachments on the MK16A4 due to it's low recoil and idle sway, and makes the MK16A4 much more competitive in the face of the AAI M556.

The actual recoil of the weapon is quite low, due to it's symmetrical design which is the same with the MK4A1 and since recoil tends to go backwards, Missing a shot isn't really a concern even for accurate players. So a Foregrip isn't entirely necessary; though it greatly reduces the recoil, rivaling the MK4A1 in terms of low recoil.

FMJ isn't necessary, as the MK16A4 already has elevated wall penetration by default. However, it can prove useful for players that blindly fire at cover, as the MK16A4 with FMJ can penetrate most surfaces in the game with little damage reduction. As the MK16A4's Ammunition is Full Metal Jacket and Armor Piercing by default.

The Heartbeat Sensor provides miniature radar that notifies players to the nearby presence of non-Ninja enemies and allies. Allies light up green or blue, while enemies light up red, while also hinting at the general direction their pulse is coming from. The Heartbeat Sensor doesn't bring any clear cut downside to the table, but its effect in combat isn't needed for experienced players.

In conclusion, the MK16A4 is a powerful long-range weapon easily capable of gunning down enemies to a long range. Its main advantage is its high damage at medium and long range, which bests most weapons in its class, which have five-four hit kills. As well, the MK16A4 has a good deal of precision to offer, making the player a very powerful nuisance from afar with this weapon. If longer ranges need to be accounted, the MK16A4 should be seriously considered to aid you. Only the MK-17 can easily outmatch the MK16A4 in long range firefights.

Due to the MK16A4's high accuracy, high damage, long range, lack of idle sway, minimal burst delay and swift reload time makes it an all around weapon in medium to long ranges, making it a versatile weapon in almost any circumstances.
