FN® MK 16

Available for military sales only.

Chosen by U.S. special operators as the next generation assault rifle platform, the MK 16 provides the range, reliability, accuracy, safety, ergonomics and modularity to meet any operational challenge. A selective-fire, semi-, and full-auto 5.56x45mm rifle using a short-stroke gas piston, the MK 16 can be quickly configured by the individual operator in just minutes for close quarters combat (CQC), tactical, and long-range engagements. Unlike many currently fielded 5.56x45mm rifles, controllability under recoil is a hallmark of the MK 16, allowing the operator to readily engage targets with multiple well-aimed rounds. The MK 16 has been tested and fielded with U.S. Armed Forces. It adds the same innovation, modularity, and adaptability as the MK 17, only in a smaller caliber.
