Yeah, the game doesn't exactly run you hard.

The image is outright photobashed from a still of the old Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd movie, where he's holding a pump-action shotgun decked out in a sci-fi shell.
Looking closer, it looks like elements of both ends are stretched towards the middle, like the hinge-pin for the M16's dustcover extending way forward and the ejection port just barely covered over with gray brush, and then maybe some erasing done to reveal the shotgun's ejection port underneath, together with some very crude brushwork to try to meld both ends together. The shotgun part looks like it would be a self-loading one like a Remington 1100 or something.

I'm guessing they didn't want to do a full M16 rifle because there isn't one in the game, but since the pose has him holding a gun with a pistolgrip, they couldn't/didn't want to redo his arm and hand, but also didn't want to put in more time/effort so they took whatever gun had a pistolgrip and stock. Personally I don't even really mind the frankengun in concept (makes me think of various old low budget movie posters), but it's done very crudely. Like his face.

Kind of would be cool if there was an M16 as an unlockable, but there'd only actually be maybe 50rds available to find, so you would have to be careful about using it. Would need something to up the ante for the enemies to make up for it though.

Nah. You can't license the overall appearance of a gun. Brands and model names are a different story, but military designations have no kind of copyright or trademark to them, and manufacturers were more lax/ignorant of it back in those days (though Rare/Nintendo were cautious about it for Goldeneye). For the unlockable MAC-10 in the PC version, Military Arms Corporation went bankrupt in the 1980s, so their brand and properties are public domain.

I don't imagine, I do, because there's more than enough ammo to search and destroy every enemy.
