Overview[]
The M16[1], also known as the Machine Gun[2], is a weapon appearing in both Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. It is an assault rifle based on the M16A2 Rifle.
Hotline Miami[]
The M16 is a very common firearm in Hotline Miami, seeing extensive use from Mobsters and the Miami Police Department. It boasts a high rate of fire, accuracy stat and one of the largest magazine sizes in the game (being beaten only by the Uzi, Silenced Uzi and the MP5). This weapon is required for the Guns For Show achievement.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number[]
In Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, this weapon makes a return, although with some slight changes as it now possesses a smaller 20-round magazine. It is also the third most accurate fully automatic weapon in the game (beaten by the Flamethrower and Heavy Machine Gun). Like in Hotline Miami, this weapon is seen on the hands of Mobsters (although less often due to the introduction of the Kalashnikov) and the Miami Police Department, and it is also in service during the Hawaiian Conflict, being one of the weapons The Soldier can use if the Player picks it at the start of the level, being one of the two firearm choices available by default. This weapon is required for the A BOX FULL OF SHARP OBJECTS achievement.
