Point target would be like a human being. An m16 is accurate to 550 meters, roughly, in a well trained shooters hands.

Against an area target, like a truck, you should be able to hit it from 600+ meters

The small .223 caliber bullet will lack much power at these ranges. It will strike with roughly the same energy as a 9mm handgun at point blank range.

100 meters = 1000 foot/lbs energy

500 meters = 300 foot/lbs energt

Also the effective fragmentation range of the M16 is usually 100 yards or less, so lethality drops greatly the further out you go.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
