'''GTA Vice City Stories (1984)''': An M16A1, named "Assault Rifle" in-game. It is correct in the model type as the M16A1, since the M16A2 entered service first with the United States Marine Corps in 1986, two years after VCS takes place. However, it is not totally chronologically accurate as 30-round magazines were introduced in the mid 70's, and its rate of fire is true to real-life M16s but the magazines are out of date. [[Lance Vance]] humorously mentions the M4 during a mission, which is an anachronism. | '''GTA Vice City Stories (1984)''': An M16A1, named "Assault Rifle" in-game.

'''GTA Vice City (1986)''': Modeled after a Colt Model 733, incorrectly titled "M4" within the game (the M4 was not introduced until 1994). It appears to have a Crane Stock instead of the original retracting stock. Originally, an M16A2 was meant to be in the game but it was later replaced by the 733. It's model can still be found in the game's files and it can be seen in some cutscenes (more notably - one of the deal ambushers during the intro cutscene is wielding one). On the other hand, the gun more closely resembles CAR-15 which would be more accurate within the time period. | '''GTA Vice City (1986)''': Modeled after a Colt Model 733, incorrectly titled "M4" within the game (the M4 was not introduced until 1994).
