You either love it or you hate it, but it will always be here in Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I am talking about no other than the M16. The image sums up the M16 practically on what is capable. It is semi-automatic, three round burst fire, and effective from medium to long range. What it doesn’t mention, is that most possible cannot stand this gun. They are so sick and tired of being killed by it, so they absolutely hate it. Me on the other hand, I love the M16. In my opinion, it is the best gun in the game. It is decently mobile, powerful, and very accurate for firing three bullets.
Range: The M16 shoots very far in this game. It is perfect for picking players off crossing bridges. Also, against snipers from long distances, you stand just as good of a chance, if not better of killing your enemy. With a sub machine gun, you’re best bet is to camp. The M16 dominates other guns from a distance and is very hard to stop. However, it is more difficult to rush with this gun because it is semi-automatic. A spraying sub-machine gunner has a much better chance of killing you up close then you do of killing them.
Damage: An individual bullet from an M16 does not do terrible damage, but it is not that powerful. The thing that helps is that the M16 is semi-automatic. 3 bullets fired simultaneously easily can take out an opponent. 3 bullets to the chest and higher on an enemy, will drop him in one burst. 2 bursts for waist, and 2-3 bursts for legs.
Fire Rate: For an individual bullet, the M16 has one of the highest bullet speeds in the game. But since it is in burst fire, it does not shoot as fast as you would assume by looking at the ratings. However, the burst fire contributes to your accuracy and makes it harder to spray.

Famas>m16 in my opinion. Better accuracy and I one burst more often with it.
It depends on your gaming style. I have used both and I get more kills with the M16 with one burst.
True that, its all about what your preference is seeing that they technically do the same damage. I do think the famas has less recoil and better accuracy though.
