Call of Duty Fan Creates Montage of M16 Rifles in Mainline Games
On the CallOfDuty subreddit, user EXTIINCT_tK's virtual picture gallery of M16 rifles started an interesting conversation among members of the community. Several users participated with comments about their favorite version of the M16 in Call of Duty so far. One of them said that the original Modern Warfare 2's M16 was "the best" in their opinion, whereas another user expressed their preference for the M16 equipped with the grenade launcher attachment, saying that the combo "rules."

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
