MW3 Colt Model 901 - Modern Warfare 3

Colt Model 901

The Colt Model 901 (which was marketed as an M16A3) appears in the game as the “M16”. It fires in three-round bursts, meaning it is intended to pass for an M16A4, but the fire selector has the Safe/Semi/Auto markings of the A3 rather than the A4’s Safe/Semi/Burst. It is fitted with a KAC M5 railed handguard and feeds from the same stylized windowed PMAGs used with the “M4”. Along with the two extended magazine options available for the “M4”, the M16 can also use short 20-round GI magazines that hold 15 rounds for some reason (maybe because 20 isn’t a multiple of 3 or to align it with the same magazine option seen on the HK93, which also is a 20 rounder limited to a capacity of 15).

A properly functioning R0901-style rifle can also be achieved by modifying the “M4” mentioned below, although keeping the non-milspec upper and lower receiver.

Numerous factions in the campaign use the Model 901 M16 rifle, including Al-Qatala, the Las Almas Cartel, and the Mexican Army.

Holding the M16.

Checking the magazine and verifying that it is, indeed, loaded with 5.56 ammo. Worth noting is that double feed magazines actually alternate which side the top-most cartridge is on; if the player here were to fire one round and then inspect again, they would find the top-most cartridge on the left instead of the right. Note the “M16A2” markings on the magwell, which (intentionally or not) would be correct for an M16A3, as the receiver of the real weapon is indeed marked as such.

Mk 18 Mod 0

The “11.5 Carbine Shroud” attachment gives it an AR carbine handguard/10.5″ barrel/AR front sight, effectively turning it into a Mk 18 Mod 0 when combined with one of the telescoping stock options (though it still fires in three-round bursts due to the faux M16A4 receiver).

Combine the M16, the “11.5 Carbine Shroud” and telescopic stock and you got yourself a Mk18 Mod 0.

Mk 18 Mod 1

Fitting the M16 with the “11.5 T-H4 Barrel” and any telescoping stock will create a Mk 18 Mod 1.

M4A1 Carbine

The “14″ Carbine Shroud Barrel” attachment gives it an AR carbine handguard/14.5″ stepped barrel/AR front sight, turning it into an M4A1 (or an M4 in gameplay terms).
