Hello everyone, I am DeadRaiser. I'm an admin on the Nazi Zombies Plus Wiki, but I have used PMG to create custom weapons for the site. Whenever I make a PMG, I will make sure to post it here.
Now, most of the weapons I will post here will, for the most part, be from a fictional game I'm working on, Combat Veterans. Due to the game being set 45 years in the future, it gave me an excuse to use PMG to make fictional variants of current weapons or just plain fictional weapons. Also, I will be posting the original manufacturer of the original weapon, not that of the variant posted on this page.
Feel free to add your persnnal opinions on my weapons and if you have any suggestions, feel free to include them. But, I only request that you add constructive criticism, if you have to criticize at all.
Note: I am an owner of firearms and very familiar with the parts and types of firearms in the modern-day world.
M16A5 Assault Rifle[]
The Colt Defense Model 16 Version A5 Assault Rifle, or simply the M16A5 is a modern firearm based off the M16 Assault Rifle platform. Due to it being mostly a variant of the M16A4, it is highly versatile and has the ability to accept attachments. The default rear iron sight on the M16A5 is the LMT Fixed Rear Sight and the default front sight is the PRI Front Flip Up Sight.
The M16A5 fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round, but can also be modified to take the 6.8mm Remington SPC round. Under orders from the Secretary of Defense and United States Military officials, Colt Defense began designing a new variant of the M16 rifle, specifically, the A4 version. In 2030, they finished designing a highly versatile, effective weapon all in one, lightweight platform. At the time of it's trials, it was known as the XM16A5. In 2031, it was accepted into service as the M16A5 and replaced the aging M16A4.
When the M16A5 was being designed, the recently restarted, Springfield Armory, began working on a new variant of the M14 Garand rifle. In the end, the made the M14A3 Garand and the M14D SAW, a light machine gun variant. Despite the heated debate on which weapons would be accepted into service, the competition ended when all three weapons were accepted into service in 2031.
The M16A5 is currently in service with most US Military branches, it being used most prominently with the United States Army, United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy SEALs (SEa, Land, Air).
Reliability[]
As the M16A5 is largely based off of the M16A4, the relability of the weapon should be expected to be about the same, if not, better than the A4's. However, the M16A5 has a slightly better chance of jamming and having chips on the bolt than the M16A4. According to Colt Defense, the reasons for the less reliability was because, "[we] wanted to use lighter weight materials to improve the weapon's mobility and reduce weight." After reports of more frequent jammings began to pour in, Colt Defense released a statement that, "[we] are working on rectifying these problems. The most likely way is by returning to materials previously used on other M16 models."
As of now, they jamming issues have been fixed and the chipping of the bolt occurs less frequently than that of the A4, making the M16A5 more reliable than the A4.
Versatility[]
The M16A5 is one of the most diverse weapons in the US Military's current arsenal. The M16A5 utilizes an Omega 12.0 RIS as the forward handgaurd and, due to the fact that is has four rails, attachments can be placed on the weapon on any given moment. In addition, the weapon has a built-in pictanny rail on the reciever, which is useful for optics.
The M16A5 also has a quick-changing barrel and the RIS is removable so that the M16A5 can have shorter barrel or longer barrel lengths, rather than the standard 508mm A1 Barrel. Another unique feature is that it can accept either the .223, 5.56x45 NATO or 6.8mm Remington SPC rounds as well as several magazine types. The M16A5 also comes standard with a Magpul PRS Adjustable Stock, which can be removed and replaced with any other stock that the AR-15/M16 platform can accept.
Weight[]
The original model of the M16A5 had a weight of 6.58 lbs (2.99 kg) unloaded and 7.65 lbs (3.47 kg) loaded, due to Colt Defense's usage of lighter, cheaper materials to make the weapon lighter than earlier variants of the M16 rifle. However, due to the new materials affects on the weapon's performance, the materials used to make the weapon returned to the original materials that were used to make the other variants of the M16.
In the end, the M16A5 weighed 6.89 lbs (3.13 kg) unloaded and 7.94 lbs (3.6 kg) loaded.
