Overview
The FAC-16 is a lightweight, magazine-fed, gas-operated, air-cooled, shoulder-fired assault rifle. It fires a thirty-round magazine, and fires in two modes: semi-automatic (when the user is looking through the sights), and automatic. The barrel is threaded for a suppressor which may be adapted for stealth. The FAC is incredibly versatile. It includes features such as mounted telescopic sights and grenade launcher.
Advantages
The FAC-16 has excellent all-round stats, making it an excellent choice for a standard combat rifle. It has good accuracy, range, damage, and rate of fire. When using the scope, it switches over to manual fire for better accuracy. Pair this with the silencer to allow for stealth kills, a la P9P and DW-P5.
The FAC-16's grenade launcher is perfect for destroying vehicles, even airborne vehicles, so long as the player's aim is true. The FAC-16 is also actually better for killing enemies up close than the SuperDragon.
Disadvantages
The FAC's grenade launcher has a small ballistic arc and should only be used at medium to short distance. The launcher is single-shot and must be reloaded after each shot. Be careful where you aim the grenade launcher; you can injure or even kill yourself (or allies) with it.
When aiming at long range, the FAC-16 reverts to manual fire, making it not as effective at long range combat as the SuperDragon and RCP-90, so don't waste time picking off targets from a distance. In fact, the FAC-16's zoom isn't as strong as the SuperDragon's either.
Usage
This weapon sees extensive use by the Carrington Institute's combat units, most notably during the assault on the bridge in Africa. Joanna Dark notes her own preference for the weapon in Second Front when the rifle is used against her in the final climax battle.

- The FAC-16 is based on the Colt Model 727. The grenade launcher mounted on the weapon is the M203 40mm grenade launcher, and the rifle has an ACOG optic mounted on top of the carry handle.
- Ironically, even though the FAC-16 is a Carrington Institute weapon, closer inspection of the weapon reveals a dataDyne emblem on the gun, which implies that the FAC-16 originally may have been made by dataDyne, but was stolen by the Carrington Institute as their weapon of choice.
