Obviously, it's an earlier version of the superior M16 because F is before M in the alphabet.

    This is a common misconception, actually the F in F16 stands for Flight, denoting it is an aircraft or other craft capable of sustained flight, and the M in M16 stands for Meapon.

    actually the F in F16 stands for Flight

    This does not compute, explain F-35.
