The MS16 is a semi-automatic rifle present in Far Cry 3.
This weapon will become free after deactivating 10 Radio Towers.
The MS16 is a powerful battle rifle. It is semi-automatic only, and has a 15 or 20 round magazine, depending on upgrades. Once suppressed, the weapon can be used as a powerful long-ranged rifle.
Tips[]
- The MS16 is perfect for hit-and-run or counter-sniping tactics as its semi-automatic action can make quick work of enemy personnel.
- Adding a suppressor will reduce your range slightly but helps you get more kills without being heard.
- Combined with the sound suppressor and an optical sight, the MS16 can work as a precision rifle for silent headshots. Due to its semi-automatic action, zeroing in after a missed shot is a relatively easy affair.
- Because of the high firecap, players with a good trigger finger can quickly empty magazines, allowing the player to take down even the toughest opponents easily.

Trivia[]
- MS16 stands for M1A SOCOM 16, a civilian version of the M14 rifle with a shorter barrel.
- The model that appears in-game appears to be a left handed model of the previously mentioned M1A SOCOM 16, as the charging handle is on the left side of the firearm and ejects spent cases from left, as opposed to the typical right side.
- The MS16 is technically a battle rifle, not an assault rifle, even though it is classified as such in game.
