As everyone knows, the M16 and Pistol use the same ammunition. This doesn't make much sense, as M16s don't fire pistol bullets and pistols don't fire M16 bullets. What would make a lot more sense is if the M16 used its own ammo, and the pistol and MAC-10 used the same ammo (since both fire pistol bullets).

Not a big deal, or something that really needs to be changed, but it's just been bothering me for a while, so I thought I'd post about it. Also, what is the damage of the M16 compared to the MAC-10? It should be a good deal more powerful.

It's for balance, it doesn't need to make sense.

I don't see why a modified (heavily) pistol couldn't fire 5.56 rounds.


There are a number of hand guns (each one looking more like a mini SMG than the last) specifically designed too, so it is not unheard of.

It's a different bullet, though. That's 5.7x25mm, which can fit in a pistol grip and is pretty underpowered (but penetrates well). The Five-Seven uses it, as well as the P90. The M16 fires 5.56x45mm, which is quite a bit too long to fit into a pistol grip, and I'm pretty sure there aren't any handguns chambered in it (except for single shot target guns)

Guess how important proper bullet sizing is in TTT.

I'll give you a hint: It isn't.

You really need to cool down and stop having ego fits every time someone has an opinion.

I always thought the M16 was using pistol bullets not the other way around.

It's all a game balance thing, not really related to reality. I could go into specifics, but does it really matter?

The Five-SeveN actually uses the 5.7x28mm. However both pistols in TTT are chambered for 9mm, the USP and the Five-SeveN. Firstly I take it that they aren't meant to be specific guns, just ones that BKU used because they were available models, if this bothers you that much go download custom models that make the Five-SeveN into a Beretta 92f or something.
Many M16's have been converted to fire 9mm pistol rounds, I believe Colt even made a SMG variant of the M16 that looked the same but had the option of a side loading 9mm feed.

It's a game with place-to-place hand-held teleporters and everyone looks identical.
