From Call of Duty to Battlefield, the M16 is one of the most recognisable weapons in our video games. While this iconic firearm had a troubled start to its history, it has since cemented itself as an essential part of video game arsenals, and is widely viewed as the  “good-guy-gun” in western pop culture.

With the help of Keeper of Firearms & Artillery, Jonathan Ferguson, we’ve come to the Royal Armouries museum in the UK to learn a little more about the history and pop culture legacy of one of the most iconic weapons in the world, as well as seeing this classic rifle in action. 

In this episode of Loadout, Dave Jewitt visits the Royal Armouries to talk to Keeper of Firearms & Artillery Jonathan Ferguson to chat about the iconic M16 rifle, and how it has established a reputation as the “Good Guy” gun within our pop culture.
