Supposedly so. M16 Elite/Champion are to gain "firepower" (damage) increases, but not really sure if that relates to actual improvements. Nobody really uses the default upgrades much, so not a whole lot is known of them.

Professional - Drawrate increased Veteran - Reload speed decreased Elite - Increased damage(?) Champion - Increased damage

The latter receives the improvements from the former upgrades. I have the veteran as of now, and yes the reload speed is actually faster. I believe it also draws faster, but I don't play with an M16 enough to actually compare. That and I can't reliably record, to confirm or deny that statement.
