The maximum range of the M16 rifle is 3,534 meters.
The maximum effective range of the M16 rifle (point target) is 550 meters, which is about 600 yards, and around 800 meters (area target), which is around 875 yards. Point target is you aiming directly at your target (accounting for windage and elevation as necessary). Area target is basically you shooting at a range beyond that where you can aim directly for your target, but there is still a chance the round will hit.
Of course, the actual effective range also depends on the user's marksmanship.
