The latest updates brought more buffs and nerfs to Modern Warfare 2, and that means it’s time to make sure you’re running the best of the best.
If you’re interested in rocking the M16, Call of Duty expert Hero has you covered. He recently published a YouTube video going over the best M16 loadout.
The best M16 loadout to shred your opponents in Modern Warfare 2

Kicking things off with the XTEN Ported 290 in the muzzle slot, Hero selects this attachment for its vertical recoil control benefits.
Coming in at the laser slot is the FSS OLE-V laser. This one is chosen thanks to its aim-down-sight and sprint-to-fire speed alongside aiming stability.
Moving on to one of his favorite attachments, Hero adds on the Edge-47 grip in the underbarrel slot for increased recoil stabilization and aiming idle stability.
He uses the 5.56 High-Velocity rounds with this weapon thanks to the increased bullet velocity, helping with those longer-range kills.
Lastly, he adds on the Slimline Pro optic. This is mostly his preference due to not liking the iron sights of the M16.
