M416 Family

"One of a new generation of M4 assault rifles, improving upon the standard M4A1. Highly reliable, the M416 performs consistently in even the toughest environments."

- Weapon Description

The M416 (or the HK416) is an Assault Rifle released in the 2-25-09 Patch. The M416 is an improved version of the famous M4A1. Still keeping the firepower, accuracy, and rate of fire of its predecessor, the M416 is features an increase in Portability and lower recoil. It even lowers spread!

Overview
The M416 is best used for medium to medium-long range engagements. The weapon is the ultimate spray sniper (along with the SG550), with excellent rapid-fire accuracy. Assuming that all shots hit their mark, victims of the M416 usually perceive instant death at medium range, due to latency issues. Even when shooting full auto (as most people do) it has no issues.

This weapon has a Rank Requirement of Master Sergeant I.

The M416 and its NX varient, the M416 CQB, are sometimes considered to be noob weapons, although no one will deny that the weapons' ease of use makes them highly desirable.

Variant
There are 4 variants of the M416, the M416 CAMO from the GP Supply Case, the M416 CQB from the Black Market, and the M416 CQB CAMO from the Black Market supply case.

M416 CAMO
The M416 CAMO is an upgraded rare Supply Case-only assault rifle added in the 10-28-09 Patch. It features an increased damage rating from the original M416 as well as a tiger-stripe camouflage exterior. It deals slightly more damage than the orignal M416, adding to its already non-existent recoil. Its description in the shop reads: "Fully camouflaged for infiltration missions, this M416 has been slightly customized to increase overall damage potential."

M416 CQB
The M416 CQB is a Black Market-Exclusive weapon that is a special, lighter variant of the M416. The CQB is an improved version of the M416. It comes with an attached ITech reflex sight (which allows low rank players to experience the high rank modification), shorter barrel, and a new foregrip on it. The weapon is slightly more portable and powerful than the M416, probably due to the shorter barrel. The weapon is very popular to Black Market buyers, as it is a relatively cheap weapon. Regular players are commonly irked by this weapon, as it is extremely powerful and accurate. The new foregrip also greatly lowers recoil, allowing it to be wielded almost as easily as the UMP. The CQB has no spread of fire when fired while zoomed in, making it a highly efficient killing tool. It also has slightly more power than the M416, which makes it the most powerful weapon of the low recoil assault rifle category. The M416 CQB comes with a pre-attached ITech Reflex Sight, and can attach a Suppressor and Magazine as modification. Currently, this weapon can be purchased at these prices: Before it came out to the public, it was seen held by a soldier in the loading screen of Warhead.
