M16 A2 Rifle
Not to be confused with M4A1 Colt Carbine
M16 A2 Rifle is a Primary Rifle weapon that can be purchased from and sold to Big Al's Gun Shop.
The M16 A2 Rifle was one of the items available at the launch of Torn on 15 November 2004, having been introduced during the Torn City Beta. [1]
Without any Ammo management buffs, the M4A1 Colt Carbine can be used four to six times before needing to reload.
Usage
Due to their relatively high stats, M16 A2 Rifles with desirable Weapon Bonuses are sometimes used by players who can afford them for general attacking, Faction Warfare, Ranked Wars, and NPC looting.
Obtaining
The M16 A2 Rifle is most commonly obtained through crimes. It can also be purchased from Big Al's, be found through city finds, be given as a mystery gift from the Wheel of Mediocrity, and is a possible result from paying 75 job points to use the Private Security Firm 5* special, "Open Arsenal," [2]
The M4A1 Colt Carbine can be found as a result of the following crimes:
- "Big Al's Gun Shop" (quantity 1, requires Torn City Times and guards on break)
1,000 M16 A2 Rifles will be restocked at Big Al's after being sold out. The amount of time before a restock occurs is half the time it took the item to sell out, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.
M16 A2 Rifles can be bought from other players through the Item Market, Bazaars, or Trades, but as Primary weapons do not stack they must be purchased one by one, making it time consuming to buy in bulk.
A high quality M16 A2 Rifle with a Weapon Bonus can be obtained by opening a Medium Arms Cache. A M16 A2 Rifle obtained this way can have a Damage stat up to 76 and an Accuracy stat up to 62.
