Two variants of the M16 appear in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the burst-fire M16A2 in the base game and the fully automatic M16A1 in the Vietnam expansion.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

"The American made M16A2 three round burst assault rifle carries a 30 round magazine and was designed to optimize ammunition conservation, shot accuracy and fire power."

— In-game description.

Only available in Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer, the M16A2 is the 7th and last assault rifle issued to the Assault kit requiring 47,000 points to unlock. It has 30 round magazine size, a three-round burst fire mode, an M203 and can also accept a Red Dot Sight or a 4X Rifle Scope, like all kit specific weapons in Bad Company 2. Although being limited to burst fire, its fire rate is quite high. Due to its stopping power and accuracy it can be very effective against other assault rifles and even SMGs at medium to close range. The ability to 'pulse' the weapon's trigger gives the M16A2 an edge by increasing the weapon's fire rate.

M16A2 SA[]

"The unique uniform and a camouflaged SPECACT personal M16A2 gives you a visual edge on the Battlefield, showing that you're a force to be reckoned with."

— BC2 Website Description

The M16A2 SA is also available to those who have purchased the SPECACT DLC. It is the M16A2 customized with Woodland, Desert or Arctic camouflage depending on the environment the player is in. The M16A2 SA is obtainable on XBL (Xbox Live) for 160MS points, through Dr. Pepper as a promotion, or purchase through the PlayStation Store (PS3) or the EA Store (PC). A player using this weapon can, optionally, also be equipped with a special uniform.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam[]

"The M16A1 was introduced during the Vietnam War as a replacement for the M14 rifle. It has since then been the primary rifle of the US Army and many other nations."

— In-game description

The M16A1 (also known as M16) is a weapon featured in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam expansion, issued to the Assault kit. It has an automatic fire mode. Compared to other assault rifles, it has the highest rate of fire, the lowest damage, the longest reload time, and the smallest hip fire spread. As a result of the high rate of fire and lowest hip fire spread, The M16A1 handles well while hip firing in an unexpected scenario when facing hostiles.

Trivia[]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2[]

  • Similar to Battlefield: Bad Company, when the M16's grenade launcher is fired, the player model does not have their finger on the trigger of the M203 in both third and first person. This is the same with the M416.
  • The M16 is the only assault rifle in the game that is reloaded by pulling the charging handle back.
  • The ejected casings from the M16 spawn just next to the gun, instead of coming out the ejector port.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam[]

  • Much like in Battlefield Vietnam, the M16 has some visible rust.
  • The M16 has far different iron sights from those of the base game's M16, and more so closely resemble the iron sights of the M16 from Medal of Honor, whose multiplayer was also developed by DICE.
  • It also has a decal on the lower receiver magazine well that is found on the Medal of Honor M4A1 Veteran Version in exactly the same place.
  • The M16 has a soldier's dog tag tied around the receiver of the weapon.
