Best M16 Attachments

The M16 has some great attachment options regardless of your playstyle, but if you're looking for the best of both worlds here's what we reccomend:

  • Optic: SZ SRO-7/Cronen Mini Red Dot
  • Stock: Corio Precio Factory
  • Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
  • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
  • Ammunition: 5.56 Armor Piercing/ Magazine: 45-Round Mag

If you're looking to hold down the back line and lock down an area from range, the SZ SRO-7 is the optic for you. For more mid-range skirmishes, pick up the Cronen mini red dot.

Another important choice is in the ammunition. For longer-range engagement, take 5.56 armour piercing for maximum damage, and for prolonged or mid-range fighting take a larger magazine instead.

  • Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk: Quick Fix
  • Secondary: FSS Hurricane
