Mechanics
The M416 is an all-around good gun and will serve you well in most situations. In close quarters it easily holds its own, so don't be afraid to engage enemies there. For mid range combat you can use long bursts, as with the lack of recoil you should be able to drop opponents faster than they can drop you. For long ranges, just tap the trigger and let out one or two bullets at a time. Out of the automatic assault rifles in Bad Company 2, the M416 is the easiest to use because of the significant lack of recoil and fairly good rate of fire. Its niche is mid range combat, so keep it there.

Targeting
This assault rifle has superb iron sights making the red dot sight completely unnecessary for all situations. However, the 4x scope is very nice on the M416 because of low level of recoil, so equip it to increase your potential at longer distances.

Role
The M416 is the easiest automatic assault rifle to use. It holds its own in all situations and has great iron sights. Remember to use the 40mm attachments for added variety and keep yourself at mid range combat by using buildings for cover. Popping up from cover to fire a quick burst and ducking back down is a great tactic for this gun. Use this guns simplicity to your advantage and focus on other aspect of the battle, rather than controlling a weapon with more complicated recoil.
