The M16 is the [standard issue] assault rifle for the US military.

Manufactured by Colt, the M16 series fire the 5.56x45mm NATO round, which is accurate but lacks [stopping power]. It comes in safety, single, and 3-round burst trigger groups (except for the M16A3 which is automatic.) Auto fire was not used as it was deemed a waste of ammunition (and it usually is).

[The original] M16 was notoriously unreliable, due to low-quality ammunition, nagging issues with the ammunition feed, and the fact that the weapon was advertised as 'maintenence-free' (lol). The M16A1 introduced the foward assist, which was used to clear the front section of the gun in the event of a jam.

After Vietnam, new ammunition was developed, which required a modification to the rifling. This, along with other changes, created the M16A2.

Later, the M16A4 was adopted, featuring (among other things) full modding capability with Picatinny rails, which were already a feature on the M4A1.

Contary to [popular belief], as long as you keep them clean the newer models of the M16 don't jam all that often. Also, unlike what someone else claimed, a good buttstroke with the '16 can ruin someone's day. It's quite a sturdy weapon.

The carbine version of the M16 is the M4 (burst)/M4A1(auto).
