- The M16A2 with M203 grenade launcher appears as John Bradley's primary weapon in Conflict: Desert Storm and its direct sequel.
Conflict: Desert Storm[]
The M16A2, called "Colt M16A2 Assault Rifle" in-game, is the main weapon used by John Bradley. It is equipped with an under barrel M203 grenade launcher and features semi-auto, 3-round burst, and incorrectly full-auto fire modes. It can be also seen held by American soldiers in training missions. Another variant of the M16A2, incorrectly labeled as a submachine gun and called "M16 Colt Silenced Sub-machine Gun" in-game, is the second main weapon used by Bradley and is equipped with a suppressor and an unusable scope. It also incorrectly features a 32-round magazine.
