Description

The M16 Assault Rifle is one of the most iconic rifles in history. Introduced during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, it replaced the heavier M14 and quickly became the standard U.S. military rifle. Chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, the M16 offered controllability, lighter ammunition, and compatibility with modern combat needs.

The original M16A1 weighed just 2.9 kg and had an effective range of 550 meters. Its design has since evolved into multiple variants, with the M16A2, A3, and A4 serving across decades of conflict. Its influence also gave rise to the M4 carbine and countless civilian derivatives under the AR-15 platform.

With over 8 million produced, the M16 has been one of the most widely used rifles in the world, serving in more than 80 countries. For collectors, this accessory is a cornerstone of any minifigure arsenal — a rifle steeped in history and still relevant today.
