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.
