"The M416 is an upgraded version of the M4 and M16 assault rifles. With new firing mechanics, this modification solved many of the performance issues with the old weapon systems, and also proved to be a more cost effective solution than replacing the huge number of aging rifles in service."

— In game description.

The M416 is an Assault Rifle featured in Battlefield: Bad Company.

Singleplayer

The M416 is the first weapon the player starts with in every mission (except for Crash and Grab, where the MP443 takes its place). Marlowe and Redford always have it in cutscenes. The soldiers of Juneau convoy in Welcome to Bad Company are equipped with the M416, possibly implying it is the standard service rifle of the United States Army.

Multiplayer

The M416 is the default assault rifle issued to the American Assault kit, and is the American counterpart to the Russian AEK-971 and Middle East Coalition's AUG. It has average stats and is capable of killing in 8-10 shots. Like every other assault rifle in the game, it has a 50-round magazine, 150 rounds in reserve and an M203 grenade launcher. Compared to other assault rifles, it has very clear iron sights which are good for pinpoint accuracy.

Trivia

• When the M416's grenade launcher is fired, the player model does not have his finger on the trigger of the M203 in both third and first-person. This is the same with the M16.
