The M16
The M-16 is the M4's older brother. It is a burst capable rifle firing 5.56mm NATO rounds. Some models are Fully-Auto and Semi-Auto capable. It has seen service during the Vietnam war up until now. It is still in service with many armed forces as well as police forces around the world including the U.S.

In Resident Evil
The M-16 Assault Rifle appeared in some Resident Evil games, most notably Resident Evil Zero where its not usable as they're broken and missing parts. It also appears in Billy's flashback in the hands of Marines and Billy himself. The rifle also made a brief appearance in the movie Resident Evil Degeneration, in a flashback sequence during the Raccoon City outbreak. It was held by Marines maintaining a quarantine around Raccoon City.

Operation Raccoon City
The M16 will appear in Operation Raccoon City, named the Burst Rifle. It sports an ACOG scope, though unlike the M4 in that game, the M16's sight is mounted on top of the carrying handle. Based on the weapon select image, it also has an un-curved magazine, which possibly impliesa capacity of 20 rounds (although un-curved 30 round magazines do exist.)
