MS16

«	The last great American battle rifle that was introduced during the Vietnam War, this semi-automatic rifle is considerably accurate.	»
In-Game Description

The MS16 appears once again in Far Cry 4, and as in Far Cry 3 is unlocked by liberating 10 Radio Towers. The MS16 is unlocked for purchase after the mission A Cultural Exchange.

Because the MS16 can be unlocked relatively early, has excellent accuracy up to the 80m range limit for assault rifles, and can also be fitted with a suppressor, it stays a very potent and useful weapon throughout the game, especially for players preferring stealth.

MS16 Trooper

«	A signature version of the MS16 that takes the already formidable weapon and improves its accuracy and usability.	»
In-Game Description

A signature version of the MS16, the Trooper, can be unlocked in Far Cry 4 by collecting or destroying 20 Masks of Yalung. This version comes with a suppressor, an extended magazine, and a Marksman Sight. Possibly due to a bug, it has no stat bonuses of any kind, not even from the Marksman Sight; however, despite the stat chart stating otherwise, the Trooper inflicts more damage at long range than the standard MS16, usually requiring one shot less at the same range. Additionally, The Trooper has lower recoil than the base model.

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.
