M16's, have you mastered them?

GreyHelm · 04-27-2005

Because if you have mastered the M16, i need some help from you. I am currently trying to get good with it, and i am terrible. Care to help me out?

I'd try searching some topics on it. This forum is full of tips for the M16.

Just click the little 'Search' button at the top under 'Socom 3'. I know you're new to the forums, and probably didn't know.. but its all good.

Just make sure you do it now.

:)

Edit: Here are a few topics I came across, feel free to search for more

A quick tip will be to always remember it is triple shot, sometimes I find myself holding down the trigger and basically prevents me from shooting for a couple seconds. Aim direct, this is a hard one since so many people spray fire in games. You cannot kill effectively with spray fire from an m16. You also get the luxury of not having to aim at the head all the time. The m16 is powerful and wherever you hit someone, only a few bursts will bring 'em down.

Time the shots

What I mean by that is dont keep pushing down the trigger rapidly, that will make the gun shoot slower than if you pust the trigger right after each burst.

join frostfire respawn and play with m16 on single shot then play real game with it on burst

I had it mastered until I took a break from SOCOM. I'm still OK with it, but I'm not half as good as before.

thanks guys. By the way i had already used the search function, but while the tips provided seemed satisfactory, they didn't seem to help me much. I trhink i have some sort of block with the m16 or something. But i shan't give up. lol

The key to the M16 is chest and back shots (for me), If you are in an intense gun fight, don't aim to high or too low. The chest is where you want to aim, the M16A2 has a lot of power behind it and will succeed when in an intense fight for the kill.

I'm not that good with it, but i'm working on it. I keep getting a lot better. I wish it was the M16 A1 though, because it's full auto.

the m16 is easy i tried the whole master it think it never worked for me i kept getting pissed in respawns and useing a diffrent gun basicly use it like a pistol but hold your fire button (mines x) for like a second or to longer and you got it
