The M16 is the U.S. military designation for the 5.56x45mm AR-15 rifle, developed by Eugene Stoner and the ArmaLite Corporation in 1957. Originally developed at the request of the United States Army for a lightweight, selective fire, .22 caliber rifle, the M16 is a highly flexible weapon that can be modified to use a variety of barrel lengths and calibers. It has been largely replaced by the lighter M4 Carbine in the US military but still sees use in training and is widely used by other militaries and Law Enforcement agencies throughout the world.

Several variants of the M16 appear in games of the Ryanverse.
