Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past. I've heard that A3s were sold as samples to France, U.K. and Germany (but that was a casual comment that I heard years ago). There 'could' be A3s in the armories of foreign movie productions. That is a completely grey area with which I have no one to verify anything. :( [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :This is strange.

Externally, they look identical, however the A3 is full auto and the A2 is 3 shot burst. Simply put: A1 and A3 are full auto, A2 and A4 are 3 shot burst. The external differences are what make it a little easier to identify. We all know what an A1, A2, and A4 M16 look like, but the A3 is just an A2 that is full auto.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

There's a reason I've removed them before. We don't need to have every variant on the page, and many of them are inaccurate, anyway.

[[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 05:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Why do we have Colt Model 727 by itself==<br /> When the Model 727 is just the commercial Colt name for the M4 carbine? it doesn't make sense to have the exact GUN made by Colt with it's commercial name (for law enforcement sales or international sales) with a separate category, when it should just be merged in with the M4/M4A1 category. The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

I always thought it was the M4A1 (and please forgive me if I got to the party late), but from what I've read, it seems like they issue the regulars the Model 920, leaving the 921 for Special Forces and the like. -<br /> <br /> i think it all depends on the on-base armory. for example some armory's might still have some M4s. but i think the regular infantry does use the M4A1. however. Special forces dont use the M4A1 or the M4. they use the hK416/417. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 17:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Though I don't know for certain, I wouldn't imply Spec-Ops units use ''only'' the new HK rifles - As you've said, it all depends on what's around, and to a degree what the soldiers prefer (in the case of Special units). Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 19:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Actually, Stan, my understanding is that it's the opposite. The M4 is the most common version, not the M4A1. U.S. military doctrine still discourages full-auto for infantry rifles, so it seems unlikely to me that the M4A1 is going to be more common. As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet. Regardless, M4 and M16 are government designations, so surely calling a gun a &quot;Colt M4&quot; is incorrect? --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:09, 6 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::::Just checked the United States Army [http://www.army.mil/features/ official website].

The first is the Colt Model 646, also known as the M16A2E3, which was introduced in small numbers at the same time as the M16A2 and is an A2 with an A1 lower. Then you have the flat-top Colt Model 901 which was introduced at the same time as the M16A4 (in 1994 I think) and I'm assuming this is the version that the above page refers to. You also have the Colt Models 941 and 942 which are the HBAR and HBAR LMG models respectively, but I don't know if they are used. Not that any of this really matters as we identify all these guns as A2/A4 anyway. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 03:24, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::::::Well, that's because armorers don't have access to military M16A3s, so they just slap A2/A4 uppers to A1 lowers (correct?) because what Hollywood film director would want fixed burst firing gun (ignoring the fact that that's what soldiers and marines use) ? Or modify civilian semi-automatic replicas to fully automatic fire. In which case the weapon is to be identified as such. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 03:54, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::Didn't mean to imply we are doing anything wrong, just that the definition of the A3 models isn't that important as they don't appear.

Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt.

I think that could have been a contribution to the gun exploding in his hands. But then again, I'm not the expert on M16 rifles, I'm only guessing.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

The 9mm round also gives you less penetration, which is good if, say, you're trying to shoot the guy you're aiming at only rather than him and the three things behind him.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Heck, I can pull up a pic of a flat-topped GUU-5/P that to the untrained (or uncaring) eye would be identified as an M4A1, but isn't because it uses a slab-sided pre-A1 lower receiver. A lot of M4A1s in use by SOCOM units also can't technically by Colt naming standards be considered M4s since SOCOM now has 12.5&quot; URGs for use on M4 lowers.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me. The telescoping stock isn't much of an identifier as to the model of the weapon; the standard stock can be easily swapped out for third-party aftermarket stocks (in fact you'll note that there are images of the M4 with both four and six-position stocks on this site). As for the forward assist button, it can be swapped out just as easily as the stock. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:11, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::The forward assist and stock are secondary, they just add to the likelihood of it not being a Colt gun. Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail. So unless Oly manufactured tall flattops that had Picatinny rails (and I have no idea if they did), that upper is probably from some other manufacturer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:44, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> M4s with these uppers seem to be returning in Season 4. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 02:37, 10 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> :Here's a pic of one from season 4 (I made a special effort to get good shots of the rail when capping it):[[File:Strike Back S04E01 037.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]My theory about these is that they are fixed carry handle uppers that have been modified (I made a [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2081 topic] about this possibility in the forum due to the show having a flat top sniper AR-15 that somehow had what otherwise appeared to be an SP1 upper). If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

However, these magazine look different to a regular 30 rounder widening outside of the magazine well to double thickness. If the gun is modelled with a 30 round mag and has a capacity of 50 then it is incorrect, just as a gun modelled with a 20 round mag holding 30 rounds is incorrect.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

This is the earlier M16A2E3/M16A3 (Colt Model 646) we're talking about, which as a non-removable carrying handle. However, things are different when it comes to video games (it's not like their M16s are converted with A1 lower receivers or something like in movies). The current M16A3 (Colt Model 901) has a flattop upper receiver, and is almost identical to the M16A4, with the exception that it is full-auto. Such a configuration is seen in [[Combat Arms]] (as you can see [http://youtu.be/HTxak9uM0O4?t=62 here], it has a Safe/Semi/Auto selector switch). Thus, my suggestion is that we add back the M16A3 to the page, but of course while '''only''' mentioning the videogame appearances where the weapon is confirmed to have a full-auto firing position.

We may as well call every converted SP1 a 'M16' by that logic. As always we ID what the gun actually is, not what it's supposed to represent. In the case of video games I'm of the mind to point out unless the weapon is actually named M16A3 (or the respective Colt model number) AND everything matches up characteristically it isn't enough because games are no less immune to misidentifying or misrepresenting fire modes and so forth on particular types or even models of firearms any more than films and TV shows are.

That said, the burden is still on you since you're the one who brought this whole thing up, beyond that I'm not trying to 'shift blame' as much as again point out as Spartan did only having some but not all correct details of a particular gun does not an ID make, especially when other details are plainly contradictory. When several of these cases are like this, it's just a bit too questionable to allow to my mind. With that I'm not seeing what merits a whole 'nother section being added in this page and the potential problems that may bring with it. For the time being I still think putting these guns in the existing section(s) with a note will suffice - If you really want they can be perhaps called as A3s on the media page though the discrepancies should likewise be noted there. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 13:32, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> :::::::::::Eh, sounds good for now. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 14:21, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == M16A2 vs M16A3 ==<br /> <br /> So carrying on from the discussion above, what precisely is the difference between an M16A2 and an M16A3? The page just says that A3s are full-auto A2s, and then seemingly contradicts identification rules by saying that full-auto A2s shouldn't be identified as A3s due to them being intended to pass as A2s (in all cases?). --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 12:27, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> : Well the only difference aside from markings and Colt model numbers is full auto capability as I understand. I'll concede perhaps that section could be reworded slightly but nonetheless that's how we do it and it's that way for a reason which has been elaborated on before. But to recap: There is no known instance where a actual marked A3 model is used in media - nor an appearance where the rifle could conceivably be meant to pass for an A3 - that's why that policy exists. Putting the video game bit aside, MPM noted this long ago because he knows for fact that those appearances in films or TV are A2-marked rifles (or the civilian equivalent) with A2 uppers and features but fitted with A1 auto lowers - Which again does not make them truly the same as an actual A3. I admit this is something of a peculiarity but that's how it is here. The M16 and AR-15 SP1 are so finitely distinguished for the same reason despite the fact that again aside from markings select fire is really the only difference between the vast majority of those two models. I'll further add that in the case of 'what it's supposed to be' that since the M16A3 is only used in a couple select units of the armed forces the note that 'they are intended to pass for A2s' is again all but guaranteed to apply as well. Again I grant it is a peculiar and arguably contradictory policy but it is there for a reason - It didn't just pop out of somebody's ass. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 16:30, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :: Frankly, for clarity those (A2 uppers, A1 lowers) instances probably should be marked as something else than just M16A2s. --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 17:57, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::I disagree, Tamarin88. That is why the page clarifies that the majority of movie/TV “M16A2” rifles are actually A1 lower/A2 upper “Franken guns”, but we still refer to them as “M16A2s” in the interest of brevity. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 20:51, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::: &quot;brevity&quot; is not something that should be used in this instance, especially since it makes the argument against calling them A3s (A3s have full-auto A2 lowers) extremely confusing. --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 04:36, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::::I must respectfully continue to disagree. Sometimes, we have to use a certain designation to refer to a '''type''' of firearm that meets a certain visual profile. Other examples for your consideration:<br /> <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Norinco Type 56&quot; to refer to all Chinese-made 7.62x39mm AK-pattern rifles, even though the U.S. importers used a plethora of different designations - such as &quot;AKS-762&quot;, &quot;Type 56S&quot;, &quot;AK-47S&quot;, etc. - which likely appear on the receivers of the actual firearms kept in Hollywood's rental armories.) <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; to refer to any AR-15 pattern rifles which meet that visual profile (A2-style handguards, 20&quot; A2-style barrel, with &quot;A1E1&quot; receiver). We do this even though most of the &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; appearances we have documented in movies/TV shows actually feature the similar Olympic Arms K4B copy.<br /> <br /> :::::Again, if you are interested in trying to add nuance to a page and explain that a particular M16A1 rifle is an A2 upper on an A1 lower, there's nothing stopping you from putting a note in the body of the entry, or maybe in the screenshot captions. (For an example of how the latter has been done, see the second screenshot on the M16A2 entry of our ''[[Con Air]]'' page.) What I find objectionable is the notion that we need to come up with new designations for page headers, or create a new M16A3 entry on this page, since the reality of movie guns (which is what we care about) is that there is not a single armorer who stocks genuine DoD-issue M16A3 rifles.<br /> <br /> :::::Another thing to consider: I don't know whether Colt ever used the designation &quot;M16A3&quot; in their catalog; as far as I know, this designation was almost exclusively used by the U.S. Navy (the only service which ever bought/issued the M16A3). It's been a while since I've looked at old Colt catalogs (I have several in my parents' attic), but I don't recall them ever using the &quot;M16A3&quot; designation for commercial sales. While the U.S. military's &quot;M16A2&quot; was only ever available as a burst-firing weapon, Colt's catalog sold full-auto versions of the rifle using the same &quot;M16A2&quot; designation. Then again, Colt's nomenclature frequently differed from the military's in other ways (e.g. when Colt first offered the M4 Carbine, the term &quot;M4&quot; referred to a fixed carry handle rifle, while &quot;M4A1&quot; referred to the flattop version; in the U.S. military, the only difference between the &quot;M4&quot; and &quot;M4A1&quot; was trigger pack). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 18:17, 29 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::::::The thing that you have to remember with Colt rifles is that the &quot;M&quot; names are US forces designations, and when these are used by Colt they are kind of more general names and tend to refer to families rather than a specific weapon. For example, the Colt Model 778 is a carbine that has a fixed A2 carry handle and a four position selector lower but it is called an &quot;M4 Carbine Enhanced&quot; despite having nothing to do with the military M4 except the barrel profile, and there are the 777 and 779 that are the same but burst and auto only respectively that are just marked &quot;M4 Carbine&quot;. It is not even that these are &quot;early&quot; guns, these were being made after the flat tops existed as partly Colt wanted to use up A2 uppers, but also because some customers (particularly less well developed countries) do not need to optics capability and preferred the simplicity of the fixed upper but Colt liked the &quot;M4&quot; name recognition and marketability. On to the A2/A3 distinction, I am for as a general rule just calling them A2s as the majority of the time that is what they are intended to be regardless of what lower is actually used. Similarly, when an M4 actually has an A1 receiver (pretty common as armourers can make new guns full auto by dropping them on older full auto lowers) we just call them M4s even though they pedantically aren't, sometimes noting what the lower is but most of the time not as it isn't really that important. If a gun in a game is genuinely supposed to be an A3 (not just an A2 with full auto because burst fire is less fun) then I have no problem with calling it an A3 on the game page, I just think that it can still go under the A2 section on the main M16 page as separating them is not really necessary (and I guarantee will lead to further arguments). Lastly, specifically for the M16A2E3 type M16A3s, if you are going by Colt's nomenclature there are actually M16A2s with full auto selectors that are separate from these US Navy guns. Colt has sold a lot of &quot;M16A2&quot; pattern guns to various countries on the commercial market and full auto is more popular, so they just made M16A2 with full auto selectors, for example the 701, 703 (not that weird piston one, the other one), 741 and 742. These guns are marked &quot;M16A2&quot; on the receiver and have the A2 profile but have a full auto selector, so even if you see an A2 profile lower firing in full auto that doesn't make it an A3. On that topic, you also have the weird thing that original A2s were actually built on A1 forgings so you can conversely have guns that have an &quot;A1&quot; style lower but are actually genuine A2s ([http://ultimatefirearmtechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/Colt-M16A1-A2-Barrel-large3.png example image of both cases]). All in all, it is kind of shitshow and I see no reason to make it worse. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:57, 30 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Colt 777 and Colt 778 ==<br /> <br /> I can find out what is the Colt 777, or Colt 778 M4s look like. I'm trying to find so Early M4 after the XM4 Carbine.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 16:14, 1 February 2019 (EST)<br /> :Firstly, I do not believe that these are &quot;early&quot; M4s like the XM4, they have the features of what you might call an &quot;early&quot; gun but I think they post date the final design of the M4. As for what they look like, the 777, 778 and 789 are identical except for the fire selector with the first being burst, the second having the four position &quot;enhanced&quot; selector, and the third being full auto. They had M4 barrels and fixed A2 carry handle sights so they looked a lot like the 727. The only differences are firstly that being an earlier gun the 727 is stamped &quot;M16A2&quot; whereas the latter guns are stamped either &quot;M4 CARBINE&quot; or &quot;M4 ENHANCED CARBINE&quot; in the case of the 778, and also due to the fact that it post-dates the M4 development it has the wider M4 handguard with the double heat shield.

This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]<br /> <br /> The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 (SP1) was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle. Before 1968, this was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''. The real XM16E1 has a partial magazine fence on its lower receiver, whereas the M16A1 has a full raised rib around the magazine release button). <br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Balibo]] || || FRETELIN Guerillas || || 2009<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[Tropic Thunder]] || [[Jay Baruchel]] || Kevin Sandusky || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | Mocked up from an M16A1 || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2008<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brandon T.

Modifications were extensive, including new, faster rifling (1 twist every 7 inches, replacing the M16A1's 1:12 twist rate) to permit the use of the heavier SS109 round, a heavier barrel to resist bending and reduce overheating in sustained fire, an adjustable rear sight to allow sighting-in for ranges between 300 and 800 metres to take full advantage of the SS109's ballistic characteristics as well as windage adjustments without the use of special tools or a cartridge. The buttstock was lengthened 5⁄8 in (15.9 mm). The handguards were changed from the vertically split triangular pattern to the horizontally split round version found on carbines. A notch for the middle finger was added to the pistol grip. The flash hider was closed at the bottom to prevent dirt being kicked up when fired prone. A brass deflector was added to the upper receiver to prevent spent brass hitting left-handed shooters. The A1's full auto setting was dropped and replaced with a three round burst setting to prevent &quot;spray and pray&quot; usage by inexperienced users. The forward assist was changed from teardrop to round mainly as a cost-saving measure.<br /> <br /> In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the US military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie &quot;M16A2&quot; rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since cinematographers want the &quot;starburst&quot; of the flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie &quot;M16A2s&quot; fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as &quot;M16A3s&quot; when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''<br /> <br /> ''Also note that some American movies feature [[M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.''<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Colt M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm.

Note the cut-out in the KAC M5 RAS.]]<br /> <br /> The '''M16A4''' is a 3-round burst rifle like the M16A2. The original upper receiver with a fixed carry handle was replaced with one that has a removable handle and a built-in full-length Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other ancillary devices. The M16A4 is the standard-issue rifle of the U.S. Marine Corps, though a switch to the M4 carbine was made in late 2015.<br /> <br /> Military-issue M16A4 are also equipped with a Knight's Armament Company M5 RAS railed handguard (RAS standing for &quot;Rail Adapter System&quot;). Such rifles were designated '''M16A4 MWS''' (Modular Weapon System) in the U.S. Army field manuals.<br /> <br /> As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not 3-round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a 3-round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;350&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Yamakasi]]'' || || Special Forces || || 2001<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Warriors (Guerreros)]]'' || || Serbian and Albanian soldiers || with a red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Home of the Brave]]'' || || SFC Duhon || Fitted with EOTech Holographic sight || 2006<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Incredible Hulk, The (2008)|The Incredible Hulk (2008)]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Day the Earth Stood Still, The (2008)|The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)]]'' || || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | ''[[Peranmai]]'' || [[Jeyam Ravi]]|| Dhuruvan || || rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | 2009<br /> |-<br /> | [[Vasundhara Kashyap]] || Kalpana ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Dhansika]] || Jennifer ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Varsha Ashwathi]] || Thulasi ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Liyashree]] || Susheela ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Roland Kickinger]] || Anderson ||<br /> |-<br /> | || Mercenary ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' || Various || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon ACOG scopes, SureFire Universal WeaponLights, and KAC RIS foregrips || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Hurt Locker]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Possibly airsoft replicas; fitted with various attachments || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Far Cry (2008)]]'' || || Mercenary || Possibly Armalite M15A4; fitted with Aimpoint M68 CCO || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Legion]]'' || [[Paul Bettany]] || Michael || Fitted with carry handle and [[M203 grenade launcher]] || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Survival of the Dead]]'' || [[Alan Van Sprang]] || SGT Crocket || || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2010<br /> |-<br /> | [[Athena Karkanis]] || Tomboy ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Red (2010)]]'' || [[Helen Mirren]] || Victoria || Fitted with CAA Sharp Shooting Stock, HBAR flat top upper, sniping scope, A2 handguards, GemTech suppressor, and Harris Bipod || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;6&quot; | ''[[Battle: Los Angeles]]'' || [[Ne-Yo]] || Cpl.

Please help confirm.--&gt;]]<br /> <br /> Known as the Colt Model 715 in the United States, the Diemaco C7 is a Canadian license-built version of the M16 that was developed in tandem with the M16A2, but retains the rear sight and the automatic firing mode of the earlier M16A1, with the further addition of a heavier barrel and brass deflector. The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices. <br /> <br /> ''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as &quot;budget&quot; alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the &quot;Plinker Plus 20&quot;). Most of the &quot;C7&quot; rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hyena Road]]'' || [[Paul Gross]] || Pete Mitchell || C7A2 || 2015<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Walking Tall (2004)]]'' || || Ex-Deputy || With Beta-C drum magazine || 2004<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Operation Dumbo Drop]]'' || || Green Berets,US Soldiers,ARVN || Mocked up as M16A1 || 1995<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> ! align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#D0E7FF&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; |'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;175&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;275&quot;|'''Note / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Air Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Continuum - Season 2]]'' || || || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / Episode 2 || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Continuum - Season 1]]'' ||[[Luvia Petersen]]|| Jasmine Garza || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / &quot;Fast Times&quot; (Episode 2) || 2012<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Combat Hospital]]'' || Various || Canadian Forces soldiers || C7A1 and C7A2, with ELCAN scopes and RIS foregrips || 2011-???<br /> |-<br /> |''[[The Border (TV Series)]]'' ||[[James McGowan]]|| Major Mike Kessler || With ELCAN sight / &quot;Blowback&quot; || 2008-2010<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || Various || Repblican Guard Special Forces || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || Various || Cherokee rebels || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Millennium]]'' || Various || Survivalists/other characters || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' || Various || USA.F. personnel || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Viper (TV Series)]]'' || Various || US military personnel/various bad guys || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Viper]]'' || || || With 20-round magazine and [[Cobray 37mm Launcher#Cobray CM203 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 launcher]] / &quot;Diamond in the Rough&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Viper]]'' || Various || Villains || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Sentinel, The (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' || || Armored van robber || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203]] / &quot;Love and Guns&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Sentinel, The (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' || [[Richard Burgi]]|| Det.

The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper receivers.<br /> <br /> The C8A1 is features a flat-top upper receiver. The C8A2 features a heavier barrel. The C8FTHB, later called simply C8A3, is a further improved variant with green furniture and a cutout for a grenade launcher. The C8A3 variant was technically further modified with ambidextrous controls.<br /> <br /> The C8 SFW (Special Forces Weapon) features a longer, 400 mm (15.7 in) barrel. It is used by British special forces under the designation L119A1 SFIW (Special Forces Individual Weapon).<br /> <br /> The C8 CQB variant features a compact barrel similar to the Mk 18 Mod 0. It is also used by British special forces under the designation L119A1 CQB.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |[[Hyena Road]] || || Canadian soldiers || Fitted with foregrips, suppressor, and ELCAN scopes || 2015<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Television ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> ! align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#D0E7FF&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; |'''Show Title / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Air Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | [[Combat Hospital]] || [[Elias Koteas]] || Colonel Xavier Marks || C8A3, with ELCAN scope and foregrip || 2011-???<br /> |-<br /> | [[The Border (TV Series)]] / &quot;Gross Deceptions&quot; || Various || Gunmen || C8A1, with ELCAN scope || 2008-2010<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Video Games ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Referred as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Mods'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|''' Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | [[Project Reality]] || || C8A1, with polymer magazine, RIS foregrip, and M68 Aimpoint red dot &amp; ELCAN scopes || || 2005<br /> |-<br /> | [[Project Reality]] || || C8A3, with EOTech red dot sight and ELCAN scope || || 2005<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> == Diemaco/Colt Canada C7/C7A1 LSW ==<br /> [[File:M16A2 CAR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Diemaco C7 LSW/Colt Model 750 LMG with Beta-C drum magazine - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Model 950 C7A1 LSW.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Diemaco C7A1 LSW/Colt Model 950 LMG with Parker &amp; Hale bipod - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> A light machine gun variant of the C7, the LSW features an enlarged gas tube and heavier barrel with a correspondingly larger handguard with a distinctive square profile and detachable carry handle. The weapon is only capable of being fired in fully automatic from an open bolt (hence no need for a forward assist), and features a bipod, vertical grip and modified buffer tube to aid in automatic fire. The weapon was a joint venture between Colt and Diemaco, and is thus the only Canadian variant to feature the A2 rear sights as standard. The original C7 LSW was designed in the 80s and featured a barrel mounted bipod and fixed sights. The weapon was updated to the C7A1 LSW in the 90's, which featured a flattop receiver and a handguard mounted bipod. These two weapons were sold by Colt as the Model 750 and Model 950 respectively and were known as either the &quot;Light Machine Gun&quot; or &quot;Automatic Rifle&quot;, however all weapons are actually made by Diemaco/Colt Canada as noted by the maple leaf stamped on the magazine well.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Python]]'' || || Soldier || || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Purge]]'' || || Purger || || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Mods'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;100&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Warface]]''||M16A2 LMG||||C7A1/Model 950, forward sight and vertical grip removed||2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> == M16 with M203 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> ''NOTE: In some movies and TV shows, the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] is used to impersonate the M203.

In the 70s the ATF classified the XM177E2 style 4.5&quot; moderator as a suppressor, hence carbines manufactured after this point are fitted with a standard flash hider.]]<br /> <br /> During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. In 1966 the '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10&quot; barrel (initially with a 3-prong flash hider then a 3.5&quot; moderator) and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s, in addition it had a complicated extending triangular stock and a shortened triangular handguard. In the same year, due to issues with the Model 607, the '''Colt Model 609''' was developed and designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded takedown pin assembly, a simpler two-position telescoping tubular aluminum stock, reinforced two-piece round handguards, and an improved 4.25&quot; moderator. This version was also where they started stamping the receivers &quot;Commando&quot;, thus known as the &quot;Colt Commando&quot; in the United States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version without a forward assist built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, the '''GAU-5/A''' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). In 1967, the '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10&quot; to 11.5&quot;, a grenade ring was added to the 4.25&quot; moderator, and was given a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world. <br /> <br /> The GAU-5/A was adopted by the US Air Force during the Vietnam War and is still used by the USAF. The weapon's designation changed in 1989 when it was decided that the GAU- designation should only apply to aircraft guns, and infantry guns should be classified as GUU (guns, miscellaneous personal equipment) with a /P (personal) end. Air Force Colt rifles (models 610 (GAU-5A), 629 (GAU-5A/B), 630 or 649 (GAU-5A/A, it is unclear which) and some USAF M16s) were fitted with 14.5 inch 1/7 twist barrels (some had already been given 14.5 inch 1/12 twist barrels and may or may not have been designated &quot;GAU-5/P&quot;) with their original markings erased and all were marked as &quot;GUU-5/P.&quot; All have the national stock number 1005-01-042-9820 regardless of their actual configuration.<br /> <br /> The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 were adopted by the US Army and are no longer used.<br /> <br /> ''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the moderator of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies.''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers.''<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Final Option]]'' || [[Ziggy Byfield]] || Trooper Baker || || 1982<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Uncommon Valor]]''||[[Todd Allen]]||Frank Rhodes||||1983<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' || [[Randall &quot;Tex&quot; Cobb]] || Sailor || || 1983<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' || [[Tim Thomerson]] || Charts || || 1983<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Coordinates of Death (Koordinaty smerti)]]'' || Various actors || US Army soldiers || XM177E2, with original flash suppressor replaced by &quot;birdcage&quot; flash hider || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=3 | ''[[Spies Like Us]]'' || [[Sam Raimi]] || Security Guard || || rowspan=3 | 1985<br /> |-<br /> | [[Joel Coen]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Martin Brest]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brazil]] || || MOI SWAT officers || || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Park is Mine, The|The Park is Mine]]'' || [[Yaphet Kotto]] || NYPD ESU Cpt.

This configuration was available from 1987, and used the barrel from the Colt Model 720 (a prototype rifle which was part of the XM4 program).]]<br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 727 &quot;M16A2 Government Carbine&quot; - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 &quot;M16A2 Commando/M4 Commando&quot; - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, A1 or A2 barrel profile, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]<br /> <br /> After 1973 Colt made several lightweight versions of the M16 and Commando rifles for use with Police and Security forces, as well as civilian sales worldwide. It had the features of the XM177 carbine series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5&quot; or a 16&quot; lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign. ''It was NOT correct for Vietnam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the &quot;M16 Shorty&quot; by some writers and shooters, the 16&quot; barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an &quot;M&quot; or &quot;XM&quot; designation. It was used in the US by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above). <br /> <br /> In 1985 Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5&quot; barreled version of the Model 653, intended for tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.<br /> <br /> ''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie.

Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;400&quot;|'''Variant and Notes'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |[[Project Reality]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2005<br /> |-<br /> |[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2008<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==AR-15 Carbine==<br /> The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the US in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.<br /> Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.<br /> The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AR15earliervariant.jpg|thumb|right|500px|AR-15 Carbine with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> <br /> ===Films===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Planet Terror]] || [[Freddy Rodriguez]] || El Wray || night-vision scope || 2007<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hitcher, The (2007)|The Hitcher]]'' ||[[Sean Bean]] ||John Ryder || || 2007<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==M4/M4A1 Carbine==<br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm.

It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them on the battlefield are modified with railed handguards (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical foregrip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has 3-round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full-auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the US Army in 1994 had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the '''Model 777'''; however, soon after, the military started buying the '''Model 920''' (M4) and '''Model 921''' (M4A1), which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns &quot;M4s&quot;. Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, more recently produced M4A1s (known as the Model 921HB) also have a thicker barrel profile under the handguards along with a heavier buffer to slow the rate of fire, meaning that the weapon is more controllable during fully automatic firing and is less prone to overheating. As of 2014, most burst-fire M4s have been converted to the upgraded full-auto M4A1s.<br /> <br /> What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16&quot; Carbine '''&quot;The M4&quot;''' (these weapons are often referred to as &quot;M4geries&quot;). Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the US Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' (specifically, Bushmaster and Heckler &amp; Koch: the latter settled out of court and changed the name of their &quot;HK M4&quot; to [[HK416]]) however, in 2005 it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt's trademark was revoked. <br /> <br /> Owing to a second spate of legal shenanigans with Colt over the US Army trying solicit new-production M4A1s competitively (which came to a head when they awarded part of the contract to Remington), M4A1s produced since February 2013 have been made by FN Herstal.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;450&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Air Force One]] || [[Gary Oldman]] || Ivan Korshunov || Fitted with C-More Sight, first film to feature the M4A1 || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 1997<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elya Baskin]] || Andrei Kolchak || Fitted with C-More sight<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Soldier]] || || Child recruits || Fitted with C-More Sights and RIS foregrips || 1998<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Cell]] || || FBI HRT members || Fitted with tactical light || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Joint Security Area]] || || South Korean soldiers || Fitted with C-More sights || 2000<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; |''[[Black Hawk Down]] || [[Eric Bana]] || SFC Norm &quot;Hoot&quot; Gibson || Rubber prop M4 fitted with tactical flashlight and paint with desert camo, technically an anachronistic for the time period of the film || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2001<br /> |-<br /> | || Delta operator || Rubber prop<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[2009: Lost Memories]] || || JBI SWAT officers || Fitted with scope, rails, forward handgrips, tactical light and laser aiming devices || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Steal]] || || SWAT officers || || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Sum of All Fears]] || || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon RX01 red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[XXX|xXx]] || [[Marton Csokas]] || Yorgi || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Jan Pavel Filipensky]] || Viktor || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and RIS foregrip<br /> |-<br /> | || NSA commandos || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope and Surefire M500AB forend weaponlight<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever]] || [[Antonio Banderas]] || FBI agent Jeremiah Ecks || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | One of the first films to feature the M4's newer 6-position (&quot;LE&quot;) collapsible stock || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Lucy Liu]] || Agent Sever<br /> |-<br /> | [[Gregg Henry]] || Robert Gant<br /> |-<br /> | || DIA agents<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Tears of the Sun]] || [[Bruce Willis]] || LT A.K.

Much like the earlier Colt Model 733, which it replaced, the barrel thickness varied; some versions had the [[M16A1]] barrel profile, while others had the thicker [[M16A2]]/[[M4]] barrel profile. Additionally, the RO933 was one of Colt's first AR-15-pattern rifles to feature a front sight post which had the bayonet lug deleted, though this was not standard and some versions retained the bayonet lug. All versions, however, feature the flattop upper receiver and removable carry handle/rear sight assembly found on the M4.<br /> <br /> A burst version of the Model 933 was also produced; this version was known as the Model 935 and was purchased in limited numbers by the U.S. Marine Corps Reconnaissance community beginning in the late-1990s ([http://www.forcerecon.com/strongmenarmed3.htm]). However, beyond the USMC, the Model 933/935 saw little acceptance in U.S. SOCOM; most special operations units instead opted to use either the standard 14.5&quot; barrel M4 or the 10&quot; CQBR/Mark 18.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;

The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Bushmaster XM-15 Rifle Series==<br /> [[Image:Bushmaster ar15 carbine.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The Bushmaster HBAR Carbine - listed in the Bushmaster Sales catalog as &quot;Bushmaster 16&quot; Heavy Barrel Carbine&quot; - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;350&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |- <br /> | ''[[The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada]]||[[Barry Pepper]]|| Mike Norton||||2005<br /> |- <br /> | ''[[Planet Terror]]||[[Rose McGowan]]|| Cherry Darling||as a prosthetic leg with grenade launcher||2007<br /> |- <br /> |}<br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> == Bushmaster XM15 &quot;V-Match&quot; ==<br /> [[Image:Bushmaster xm15 vmatch 20.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Bushmaster XM15 &quot;V-Match&quot; Note smooth handguard and absence of front sight - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Eleventh Hour, The|The Eleventh Hour]] || || SEAL Marksman || With JP Enterprises thumbhole stock, scope and Harris bipod|| 2008<br /> |-<br /> | [[Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith]] || || || Seen leaning against wall || 2005<br /> |-<br /> | [[Soldier]] || || Arcadia 234 Inhabitant || With C-More red dot sight || 1998<br /> |-<br /> | [[Ronin]] || || Sniper || With scope || 1998<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Justified - Season 1]]'' || [[Jacob Pitts]] || Deputy Marshal Tim Gutterson || &quot;Fire in the Hole&quot; (S1E01) || 2010<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;br clear=All&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Ferfrans SOAR==<br /> The Ferfrans SOAR (Special Operations Assault Rifle) is designed as an improvement of the M4 carbine.<br /> [[Image:SOAR.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Ferfrans SOAR - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> <br /> ===Specifications===<br /> (2004 - Present)<br /> <br /> * '''Type:''' Assault Rifle<br /> <br /> * '''Caliber:''' 5.56x45 NATO (.223 Rem.)<br /> <br /> * '''Weight:''' 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg)<br /> <br /> * '''Length:''' 33.5 in.

Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the US Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]<br /> Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the US Army had a &quot;rubber duck&quot;, i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain). There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant (listed in the catalog as the '''CAR-15'''), which is basically the same as above but with a non-retractable stock for imitation purposes. The MGC Replica is most likely the most used M16 replica seen in film and television production.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;400&quot;|'''Notes'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Raid on Entebbe]]'' || || Izraeli commando, Ugandan soldiers || || 1976<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' || || British/Russian/US Navy Sailors during gun battle on the ''Liparus'' || || 1977<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' || || || mounted on the PBR boat, shot up by tracer rounds || 1979<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Moonraker]]'' || Various || Drake launch base guards || || 1979<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Private Benjamin]]'' || [[Goldie Hawn]] || Pvt.

The dummy &quot;20 round magazine&quot; was a solid part of the lower receiver. A small .22LR magazine was inserted into the bottom of the dummy magazine. They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the US with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct. <br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Cassandra Crossing, The|The Cassandra Crossing]] || || US Army soldiers || AP-74 || 1976<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=2|''[[Dawn of the Dead (1978)|Dawn of the Dead]] || [[Ken Foree]] || Peter Washington||rowspan=2| AP-74 || rowspan=2|1978<br /> |-<br /> | [[Scott H.

It is most easily distinguished from a genuine AR-15 by the distinctive front sight block which has a gap between it and the handguard. The rifle feeds from either a 5 round pellet clip (which must be manually indexed with each shot) or from an integral gravity fed 18 round BB magazine (which is topped up from an integral 350 round hopper). To charge the rifle for each shot it must be &quot;pumped&quot; between 4 and 10 times depending on the power required and this is done by rotating the handguard downwards. You must then manually cock the bolt to chamber the pellet/BB (after indexing the clip to the correct position if pellets are being used) before being able to fire.<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Note / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;100&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | [[The Walking Dead - Season 3]] || || Woodbury Guard || &quot;Home&quot; (S3E10) || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR Clear=All&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Crosman Air 17==<br /> [[File:Crosman Air 17.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Crosman Air 17 - .177 pellets/BBs]]<br /> The '''Crosman Air 17''' is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M16 rifle.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'. They're in the hands of everyone so it is invevitable.<br /> :Even Iran uses a variant of the M16A1, a copy of the Norinco CQ called the ''S-5.56'', as their standard rifle.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

I'm not saying the M16/M4 is a complete piece of crap, but it's definitely not the BEST ASSAULT RIFLE IN THE WORLD! like we Americans like to state all the time (*rolls eyes*). You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

As for the M4 and M4A1, well it ''does'' say the difference in the section but to answer - the M4 has Safe-Semi-Burst fire selection ala the M16A2/M16A4, the M4A1 has full-automatic instead of burst, ala the earlier M16s/M16A1/M16A3. Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside).

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point.

Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer?

So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Updated and longer (by about 1&quot;) rear buttstock and thicker buttplate, slight finger ledge on the pistol grip about midway down.

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

US forces purchased a small number of Model 733s for Special Forces and was called the M16A2 commando, although Colt later offered it as the M4 Commando. Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

You can actually buy parts for a four position selectors, sears and disconnectors from Colt, so guns can be modified to this standard. However, I guarantee you that no guns in games actually have the correct four position selector, as it looks different to the standard one.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights).

Colt did also start marketing 733s as &quot;M4 Commandos&quot; after the M4 was adopted, despite the fact it did not have a flat top rail. These names are not necessarily unique to a single rifle and can be used for multiple model numbers, for example the name &quot;M16A2 Carbine&quot; was used for the Model 723 and 727, as well as the 720 before it was given the XM4 designation.<br /> :::::::In essence, more modern (meaning, without older parts) M4 CQBR and M4 Commando are just that.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me.

Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4.

My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

First off, as STANAG 4179 was never ratified there is no actual standard in the first place, just a proposed standard that some countries have chosen to adhere to. Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant. Using the widely used term &quot;STANAG magazine&quot; can be kind of confusing as it implies that there is one single magazine that was '''the''' STANAG magazine, rather than the actual case where it is just a standard that a magazine can meet. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:09, 25 October 2012 (EDT)<br /> [[File:Navyseal50round.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Navy SEAL with 50 round STANAG Magazine]]<br /> Is this the 50-round STANAG magazine that was proven unreliable during Vietnam? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 07:22, 10 November 2012 (EST)<br /> :Can't see all of it, but it looks like it.

It refers to a ''specific'' firearm, just like &quot;Prius&quot; refers to a specific car and &quot;Portland&quot; refers to a specific city. So by this court's logic, I should be well within my right to build a pick-up truck and market it as an F-150 with Ford unable to do a thing about it.

This is the earlier M16A2E3/M16A3 (Colt Model 646) we're talking about, which as a non-removable carrying handle. However, things are different when it comes to video games (it's not like their M16s are converted with A1 lower receivers or something like in movies). The current M16A3 (Colt Model 901) has a flattop upper receiver, and is almost identical to the M16A4, with the exception that it is full-auto. Such a configuration is seen in [[Combat Arms]] (as you can see [http://youtu.be/HTxak9uM0O4?t=62 here], it has a Safe/Semi/Auto selector switch). Thus, my suggestion is that we add back the M16A3 to the page, but of course while '''only''' mentioning the videogame appearances where the weapon is confirmed to have a full-auto firing position.

We may as well call every converted SP1 a 'M16' by that logic. As always we ID what the gun actually is, not what it's supposed to represent. In the case of video games I'm of the mind to point out unless the weapon is actually named M16A3 (or the respective Colt model number) AND everything matches up characteristically it isn't enough because games are no less immune to misidentifying or misrepresenting fire modes and so forth on particular types or even models of firearms any more than films and TV shows are. Now if that's what we're talking about.. I can see re-adding it but only if it is an absolute positive ID, not 'clearly what it's intended to be' because again we don't go by what something's 'intended' to be. Bottom line if full auto functionality is the only difference and that alone isn't enough for films or TV shows, I don't see why the standard for games should be any different.

If games for whatever reason can't have both properly marked receivers and selectors, among other details - especially by this day and age - I just don't feel we should give them benefit of the doubt when we don't do that for any other media.

[[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 17:01, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> :::::::::My main intention here was to point out which pieces of media have the model with the auto selector switch as I promised earlier, not to claim what it &quot;intended to pass for&quot;. It's not about &quot;my insistence&quot;, it's about pointing out actual evidence regarding the selector, for the simple reason that it's indeed a characteristic of the M16A3 and not the A4 (which means it's even wronger to ID them as A4s as opposed to A3s, unless there are actual &quot;M16A4&quot; markings on the receiver). Granted, the &quot;M4A1&quot; markings (which are only in two of the aforementioned games, not all of them) don't match with the M16A3, but they don't match with the M16A4 either, so I don't see why you're trying to shift the blame on me and claiming that specifically &quot;my&quot; argument was &quot;not remotely&quot; valid. As for the other points (presence of the &quot;ACR&quot; thing, lack of a right side in MW even though it's the case on many weapons in the game), they are totally irrelevant to this situation and, once again, don't make the weapon an A4 as opposed to an A3 – they seem more like excuses for not wanting to include the A3.<br /> :::::::::That said, if the mods still aren't interested in having an A3 section, I don't mind that, although I believe it was worth it to point out that most (if not all) of its characteristics did appear in some pieces of media.

With that I'm not seeing what merits a whole 'nother section being added in this page and the potential problems that may bring with it.

The page just says that A3s are full-auto A2s, and then seemingly contradicts identification rules by saying that full-auto A2s shouldn't be identified as A3s due to them being intended to pass as A2s (in all cases?). --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 12:27, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> : Well the only difference aside from markings and Colt model numbers is full auto capability as I understand. I'll concede perhaps that section could be reworded slightly but nonetheless that's how we do it and it's that way for a reason which has been elaborated on before. But to recap: There is no known instance where a actual marked A3 model is used in media - nor an appearance where the rifle could conceivably be meant to pass for an A3 - that's why that policy exists. Putting the video game bit aside, MPM noted this long ago because he knows for fact that those appearances in films or TV are A2-marked rifles (or the civilian equivalent) with A2 uppers and features but fitted with A1 auto lowers - Which again does not make them truly the same as an actual A3. I admit this is something of a peculiarity but that's how it is here. The M16 and AR-15 SP1 are so finitely distinguished for the same reason despite the fact that again aside from markings select fire is really the only difference between the vast majority of those two models. I'll further add that in the case of 'what it's supposed to be' that since the M16A3 is only used in a couple select units of the armed forces the note that 'they are intended to pass for A2s' is again all but guaranteed to apply as well. Again I grant it is a peculiar and arguably contradictory policy but it is there for a reason - It didn't just pop out of somebody's ass.

We do this even though most of the &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; appearances we have documented in movies/TV shows actually feature the similar Olympic Arms K4B copy.<br /> <br /> :::::Again, if you are interested in trying to add nuance to a page and explain that a particular M16A1 rifle is an A2 upper on an A1 lower, there's nothing stopping you from putting a note in the body of the entry, or maybe in the screenshot captions. (For an example of how the latter has been done, see the second screenshot on the M16A2 entry of our ''[[Con Air]]'' page.) What I find objectionable is the notion that we need to come up with new designations for page headers, or create a new M16A3 entry on this page, since the reality of movie guns (which is what we care about) is that there is not a single armorer who stocks genuine DoD-issue M16A3 rifles.<br /> <br /> :::::Another thing to consider: I don't know whether Colt ever used the designation &quot;M16A3&quot; in their catalog; as far as I know, this designation was almost exclusively used by the U.S. Navy (the only service which ever bought/issued the M16A3). It's been a while since I've looked at old Colt catalogs (I have several in my parents' attic), but I don't recall them ever using the &quot;M16A3&quot; designation for commercial sales. While the U.S. military's &quot;M16A2&quot; was only ever available as a burst-firing weapon, Colt's catalog sold full-auto versions of the rifle using the same &quot;M16A2&quot; designation. Then again, Colt's nomenclature frequently differed from the military's in other ways (e.g. when Colt first offered the M4 Carbine, the term &quot;M4&quot; referred to a fixed carry handle rifle, while &quot;M4A1&quot; referred to the flattop version; in the U.S. military, the only difference between the &quot;M4&quot; and &quot;M4A1&quot; was trigger pack). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 18:17, 29 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::::::The thing that you have to remember with Colt rifles is that the &quot;M&quot; names are US forces designations, and when these are used by Colt they are kind of more general names and tend to refer to families rather than a specific weapon. For example, the Colt Model 778 is a carbine that has a fixed A2 carry handle and a four position selector lower but it is called an &quot;M4 Carbine Enhanced&quot; despite having nothing to do with the military M4 except the barrel profile, and there are the 777 and 779 that are the same but burst and auto only respectively that are just marked &quot;M4 Carbine&quot;. It is not even that these are &quot;early&quot; guns, these were being made after the flat tops existed as partly Colt wanted to use up A2 uppers, but also because some customers (particularly less well developed countries) do not need to optics capability and preferred the simplicity of the fixed upper but Colt liked the &quot;M4&quot; name recognition and marketability. On to the A2/A3 distinction, I am for as a general rule just calling them A2s as the majority of the time that is what they are intended to be regardless of what lower is actually used. Similarly, when an M4 actually has an A1 receiver (pretty common as armourers can make new guns full auto by dropping them on older full auto lowers) we just call them M4s even though they pedantically aren't, sometimes noting what the lower is but most of the time not as it isn't really that important. If a gun in a game is genuinely supposed to be an A3 (not just an A2 with full auto because burst fire is less fun) then I have no problem with calling it an A3 on the game page, I just think that it can still go under the A2 section on the main M16 page as separating them is not really necessary (and I guarantee will lead to further arguments). Lastly, specifically for the M16A2E3 type M16A3s, if you are going by Colt's nomenclature there are actually M16A2s with full auto selectors that are separate from these US Navy guns. Colt has sold a lot of &quot;M16A2&quot; pattern guns to various countries on the commercial market and full auto is more popular, so they just made M16A2 with full auto selectors, for example the 701, 703 (not that weird piston one, the other one), 741 and 742. These guns are marked &quot;M16A2&quot; on the receiver and have the A2 profile but have a full auto selector, so even if you see an A2 profile lower firing in full auto that doesn't make it an A3. On that topic, you also have the weird thing that original A2s were actually built on A1 forgings so you can conversely have guns that have an &quot;A1&quot; style lower but are actually genuine A2s ([http://ultimatefirearmtechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/Colt-M16A1-A2-Barrel-large3.png example image of both cases]). All in all, it is kind of shitshow and I see no reason to make it worse. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:57, 30 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Colt 777 and Colt 778 ==<br /> <br /> I can find out what is the Colt 777, or Colt 778 M4s look like.

As for what they look like, the 777, 778 and 789 are identical except for the fire selector with the first being burst, the second having the four position &quot;enhanced&quot; selector, and the third being full auto. They had M4 barrels and fixed A2 carry handle sights so they looked a lot like the 727. The only differences are firstly that being an earlier gun the 727 is stamped &quot;M16A2&quot; whereas the latter guns are stamped either &quot;M4 CARBINE&quot; or &quot;M4 ENHANCED CARBINE&quot; in the case of the 778, and also due to the fact that it post-dates the M4 development it has the wider M4 handguard with the double heat shield.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration.

By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary.

It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

Although there were cleaning kits they were only issued at a rate of something like 2 per platoon, as it was not believed that the weapon would require regular maintenance. When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent.

As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point. The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet.

The first is the Colt Model 646, also known as the M16A2E3, which was introduced in small numbers at the same time as the M16A2 and is an A2 with an A1 lower. Then you have the flat-top Colt Model 901 which was introduced at the same time as the M16A4 (in 1994 I think) and I'm assuming this is the version that the above page refers to. You also have the Colt Models 941 and 942 which are the HBAR and HBAR LMG models respectively, but I don't know if they are used.

Or modify civilian semi-automatic replicas to fully automatic fire.

Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Heck, I can pull up a pic of a flat-topped GUU-5/P that to the untrained (or uncaring) eye would be identified as an M4A1, but isn't because it uses a slab-sided pre-A1 lower receiver.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

That article is either unclear and is referring to two different models, or it is a typo (or just wrong) about referring to the &quot;A3&quot; they are talking about as being a full auto A2. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 19:08, 24 June 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Anyone recognise this variant? ==<br /> <br /> I just came across this rifle on the ''[[Strike Back - Season 1]]'' page where it is listed as an M4A1:<br /> [[File:Strikeback-M4-1.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]<br /> However, it isn't a Colt rifle as the flat top rail is higher than on a normal AR-15 pattern gun. Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me. The telescoping stock isn't much of an identifier as to the model of the weapon; the standard stock can be easily swapped out for third-party aftermarket stocks (in fact you'll note that there are images of the M4 with both four and six-position stocks on this site). As for the forward assist button, it can be swapped out just as easily as the stock. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:11, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::The forward assist and stock are secondary, they just add to the likelihood of it not being a Colt gun. Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

This is the earlier M16A2E3/M16A3 (Colt Model 646) we're talking about, which as a non-removable carrying handle. However, things are different when it comes to video games (it's not like their M16s are converted with A1 lower receivers or something like in movies). The current M16A3 (Colt Model 901) has a flattop upper receiver, and is almost identical to the M16A4, with the exception that it is full-auto. Such a configuration is seen in [[Combat Arms]] (as you can see [http://youtu.be/HTxak9uM0O4?t=62 here], it has a Safe/Semi/Auto selector switch). Thus, my suggestion is that we add back the M16A3 to the page, but of course while '''only''' mentioning the videogame appearances where the weapon is confirmed to have a full-auto firing position.

We may as well call every converted SP1 a 'M16' by that logic. As always we ID what the gun actually is, not what it's supposed to represent. In the case of video games I'm of the mind to point out unless the weapon is actually named M16A3 (or the respective Colt model number) AND everything matches up characteristically it isn't enough because games are no less immune to misidentifying or misrepresenting fire modes and so forth on particular types or even models of firearms any more than films and TV shows are.

Granted, the &quot;M4A1&quot; markings (which are only in two of the aforementioned games, not all of them) don't match with the M16A3, but they don't match with the M16A4 either, so I don't see why you're trying to shift the blame on me and claiming that specifically &quot;my&quot; argument was &quot;not remotely&quot; valid.

That said, the burden is still on you since you're the one who brought this whole thing up, beyond that I'm not trying to 'shift blame' as much as again point out as Spartan did only having some but not all correct details of a particular gun does not an ID make, especially when other details are plainly contradictory. When several of these cases are like this, it's just a bit too questionable to allow to my mind. With that I'm not seeing what merits a whole 'nother section being added in this page and the potential problems that may bring with it. For the time being I still think putting these guns in the existing section(s) with a note will suffice - If you really want they can be perhaps called as A3s on the media page though the discrepancies should likewise be noted there. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 13:32, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> :::::::::::Eh, sounds good for now. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 14:21, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == M16A2 vs M16A3 ==<br /> <br /> So carrying on from the discussion above, what precisely is the difference between an M16A2 and an M16A3? The page just says that A3s are full-auto A2s, and then seemingly contradicts identification rules by saying that full-auto A2s shouldn't be identified as A3s due to them being intended to pass as A2s (in all cases?). --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 12:27, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> : Well the only difference aside from markings and Colt model numbers is full auto capability as I understand. I'll concede perhaps that section could be reworded slightly but nonetheless that's how we do it and it's that way for a reason which has been elaborated on before. But to recap: There is no known instance where a actual marked A3 model is used in media - nor an appearance where the rifle could conceivably be meant to pass for an A3 - that's why that policy exists. Putting the video game bit aside, MPM noted this long ago because he knows for fact that those appearances in films or TV are A2-marked rifles (or the civilian equivalent) with A2 uppers and features but fitted with A1 auto lowers - Which again does not make them truly the same as an actual A3. I admit this is something of a peculiarity but that's how it is here. The M16 and AR-15 SP1 are so finitely distinguished for the same reason despite the fact that again aside from markings select fire is really the only difference between the vast majority of those two models. I'll further add that in the case of 'what it's supposed to be' that since the M16A3 is only used in a couple select units of the armed forces the note that 'they are intended to pass for A2s' is again all but guaranteed to apply as well. Again I grant it is a peculiar and arguably contradictory policy but it is there for a reason - It didn't just pop out of somebody's ass. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 16:30, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :: Frankly, for clarity those (A2 uppers, A1 lowers) instances probably should be marked as something else than just M16A2s. --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 17:57, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::I disagree, Tamarin88. That is why the page clarifies that the majority of movie/TV “M16A2” rifles are actually A1 lower/A2 upper “Franken guns”, but we still refer to them as “M16A2s” in the interest of brevity. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 20:51, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::: &quot;brevity&quot; is not something that should be used in this instance, especially since it makes the argument against calling them A3s (A3s have full-auto A2 lowers) extremely confusing. --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 04:36, 28 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> :::::I must respectfully continue to disagree. Sometimes, we have to use a certain designation to refer to a '''type''' of firearm that meets a certain visual profile. Other examples for your consideration:<br /> <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Norinco Type 56&quot; to refer to all Chinese-made 7.62x39mm AK-pattern rifles, even though the U.S. importers used a plethora of different designations - such as &quot;AKS-762&quot;, &quot;Type 56S&quot;, &quot;AK-47S&quot;, etc. - which likely appear on the receivers of the actual firearms kept in Hollywood's rental armories.) <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; to refer to any AR-15 pattern rifles which meet that visual profile (A2-style handguards, 20&quot; A2-style barrel, with &quot;A1E1&quot; receiver). We do this even though most of the &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; appearances we have documented in movies/TV shows actually feature the similar Olympic Arms K4B copy.<br /> <br /> :::::Again, if you are interested in trying to add nuance to a page and explain that a particular M16A1 rifle is an A2 upper on an A1 lower, there's nothing stopping you from putting a note in the body of the entry, or maybe in the screenshot captions. (For an example of how the latter has been done, see the second screenshot on the M16A2 entry of our ''[[Con Air]]'' page.) What I find objectionable is the notion that we need to come up with new designations for page headers, or create a new M16A3 entry on this page, since the reality of movie guns (which is what we care about) is that there is not a single armorer who stocks genuine DoD-issue M16A3 rifles.<br /> <br /> :::::Another thing to consider: I don't know whether Colt ever used the designation &quot;M16A3&quot; in their catalog; as far as I know, this designation was almost exclusively used by the U.S. Navy (the only service which ever bought/issued the M16A3). It's been a while since I've looked at old Colt catalogs (I have several in my parents' attic), but I don't recall them ever using the &quot;M16A3&quot; designation for commercial sales. While the U.S. military's &quot;M16A2&quot; was only ever available as a burst-firing weapon, Colt's catalog sold full-auto versions of the rifle using the same &quot;M16A2&quot; designation. Then again, Colt's nomenclature frequently differed from the military's in other ways (e.g. when Colt first offered the M4 Carbine, the term &quot;M4&quot; referred to a fixed carry handle rifle, while &quot;M4A1&quot; referred to the flattop version; in the U.S. military, the only difference between the &quot;M4&quot; and &quot;M4A1&quot; was trigger pack). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 18:17, 29 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::::::The thing that you have to remember with Colt rifles is that the &quot;M&quot; names are US forces designations, and when these are used by Colt they are kind of more general names and tend to refer to families rather than a specific weapon. For example, the Colt Model 778 is a carbine that has a fixed A2 carry handle and a four position selector lower but it is called an &quot;M4 Carbine Enhanced&quot; despite having nothing to do with the military M4 except the barrel profile, and there are the 777 and 779 that are the same but burst and auto only respectively that are just marked &quot;M4 Carbine&quot;. It is not even that these are &quot;early&quot; guns, these were being made after the flat tops existed as partly Colt wanted to use up A2 uppers, but also because some customers (particularly less well developed countries) do not need to optics capability and preferred the simplicity of the fixed upper but Colt liked the &quot;M4&quot; name recognition and marketability. On to the A2/A3 distinction, I am for as a general rule just calling them A2s as the majority of the time that is what they are intended to be regardless of what lower is actually used. Similarly, when an M4 actually has an A1 receiver (pretty common as armourers can make new guns full auto by dropping them on older full auto lowers) we just call them M4s even though they pedantically aren't, sometimes noting what the lower is but most of the time not as it isn't really that important. If a gun in a game is genuinely supposed to be an A3 (not just an A2 with full auto because burst fire is less fun) then I have no problem with calling it an A3 on the game page, I just think that it can still go under the A2 section on the main M16 page as separating them is not really necessary (and I guarantee will lead to further arguments). Lastly, specifically for the M16A2E3 type M16A3s, if you are going by Colt's nomenclature there are actually M16A2s with full auto selectors that are separate from these US Navy guns. Colt has sold a lot of &quot;M16A2&quot; pattern guns to various countries on the commercial market and full auto is more popular, so they just made M16A2 with full auto selectors, for example the 701, 703 (not that weird piston one, the other one), 741 and 742. These guns are marked &quot;M16A2&quot; on the receiver and have the A2 profile but have a full auto selector, so even if you see an A2 profile lower firing in full auto that doesn't make it an A3. On that topic, you also have the weird thing that original A2s were actually built on A1 forgings so you can conversely have guns that have an &quot;A1&quot; style lower but are actually genuine A2s ([http://ultimatefirearmtechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/Colt-M16A1-A2-Barrel-large3.png example image of both cases]). All in all, it is kind of shitshow and I see no reason to make it worse. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:57, 30 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Colt 777 and Colt 778 ==<br /> <br /> I can find out what is the Colt 777, or Colt 778 M4s look like.

As for what they look like, the 777, 778 and 789 are identical except for the fire selector with the first being burst, the second having the four position &quot;enhanced&quot; selector, and the third being full auto. They had M4 barrels and fixed A2 carry handle sights so they looked a lot like the 727. The only differences are firstly that being an earlier gun the 727 is stamped &quot;M16A2&quot; whereas the latter guns are stamped either &quot;M4 CARBINE&quot; or &quot;M4 ENHANCED CARBINE&quot; in the case of the 778, and also due to the fact that it post-dates the M4 development it has the wider M4 handguard with the double heat shield.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'. They're in the hands of everyone so it is invevitable.<br /> :Even Iran uses a variant of the M16A1, a copy of the Norinco CQ called the ''S-5.56'', as their standard rifle.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

I'm not saying the M16/M4 is a complete piece of crap, but it's definitely not the BEST ASSAULT RIFLE IN THE WORLD! like we Americans like to state all the time (*rolls eyes*). You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

As for the M4 and M4A1, well it ''does'' say the difference in the section but to answer - the M4 has Safe-Semi-Burst fire selection ala the M16A2/M16A4, the M4A1 has full-automatic instead of burst, ala the earlier M16s/M16A1/M16A3. Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside).

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point.

Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer?

So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Updated and longer (by about 1&quot;) rear buttstock and thicker buttplate, slight finger ledge on the pistol grip about midway down.

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

US forces purchased a small number of Model 733s for Special Forces and was called the M16A2 commando, although Colt later offered it as the M4 Commando. Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

You can actually buy parts for a four position selectors, sears and disconnectors from Colt, so guns can be modified to this standard. However, I guarantee you that no guns in games actually have the correct four position selector, as it looks different to the standard one.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights).

Colt did also start marketing 733s as &quot;M4 Commandos&quot; after the M4 was adopted, despite the fact it did not have a flat top rail. These names are not necessarily unique to a single rifle and can be used for multiple model numbers, for example the name &quot;M16A2 Carbine&quot; was used for the Model 723 and 727, as well as the 720 before it was given the XM4 designation.<br /> :::::::In essence, more modern (meaning, without older parts) M4 CQBR and M4 Commando are just that.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me.

Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4.

My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

First off, as STANAG 4179 was never ratified there is no actual standard in the first place, just a proposed standard that some countries have chosen to adhere to. Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant. Using the widely used term &quot;STANAG magazine&quot; can be kind of confusing as it implies that there is one single magazine that was '''the''' STANAG magazine, rather than the actual case where it is just a standard that a magazine can meet. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:09, 25 October 2012 (EDT)<br /> [[File:Navyseal50round.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Navy SEAL with 50 round STANAG Magazine]]<br /> Is this the 50-round STANAG magazine that was proven unreliable during Vietnam? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 07:22, 10 November 2012 (EST)<br /> :Can't see all of it, but it looks like it.

It refers to a ''specific'' firearm, just like &quot;Prius&quot; refers to a specific car and &quot;Portland&quot; refers to a specific city. So by this court's logic, I should be well within my right to build a pick-up truck and market it as an F-150 with Ford unable to do a thing about it.

This is the earlier M16A2E3/M16A3 (Colt Model 646) we're talking about, which as a non-removable carrying handle. However, things are different when it comes to video games (it's not like their M16s are converted with A1 lower receivers or something like in movies). The current M16A3 (Colt Model 901) has a flattop upper receiver, and is almost identical to the M16A4, with the exception that it is full-auto. Such a configuration is seen in [[Combat Arms]] (as you can see [http://youtu.be/HTxak9uM0O4?t=62 here], it has a Safe/Semi/Auto selector switch). Thus, my suggestion is that we add back the M16A3 to the page, but of course while '''only''' mentioning the videogame appearances where the weapon is confirmed to have a full-auto firing position.

Plus, I'm rather concerned about having to call some weapons &quot;M16A4&quot; even though they're clearly M16A3s; the Combat Arms page is a case in point, as it implies that it's an M16A4 (just shown behaving like an A3), which isn't the case.

As it's been made perfectly clear firing full auto alone doesn't make it proper to call them M16A3s. They're different models of gun, end of. We may as well call every converted SP1 a 'M16' by that logic. As always we ID what the gun actually is, not what it's supposed to represent. In the case of video games I'm of the mind to point out unless the weapon is actually named M16A3 (or the respective Colt model number) AND everything matches up characteristically it isn't enough because games are no less immune to misidentifying or misrepresenting fire modes and so forth on particular types or even models of firearms any more than films and TV shows are. Now if that's what we're talking about.. I can see re-adding it but only if it is an absolute positive ID, not 'clearly what it's intended to be' because again we don't go by what something's 'intended' to be. Bottom line if full auto functionality is the only difference and that alone isn't enough for films or TV shows, I don't see why the standard for games should be any different.

We've seen crudely modified markings, selectors, and other details in movies for HK94s and SP1s (among other guns), doesn't mean we ID'd them as MP5s/M16s even though that's what 'clearly what they were intended to pass for'. If games for whatever reason can't have both properly marked receivers and selectors, among other details - especially by this day and age - I just don't feel we should give them benefit of the doubt when we don't do that for any other media. Technical accuracy in an ID matters. With that, if anything we should be more scrutinizing of video game pages, rather than less. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 17:01, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> :::::::::My main intention here was to point out which pieces of media have the model with the auto selector switch as I promised earlier, not to claim what it &quot;intended to pass for&quot;. It's not about &quot;my insistence&quot;, it's about pointing out actual evidence regarding the selector, for the simple reason that it's indeed a characteristic of the M16A3 and not the A4 (which means it's even wronger to ID them as A4s as opposed to A3s, unless there are actual &quot;M16A4&quot; markings on the receiver). Granted, the &quot;M4A1&quot; markings (which are only in two of the aforementioned games, not all of them) don't match with the M16A3, but they don't match with the M16A4 either, so I don't see why you're trying to shift the blame on me and claiming that specifically &quot;my&quot; argument was &quot;not remotely&quot; valid. As for the other points (presence of the &quot;ACR&quot; thing, lack of a right side in MW even though it's the case on many weapons in the game), they are totally irrelevant to this situation and, once again, don't make the weapon an A4 as opposed to an A3 – they seem more like excuses for not wanting to include the A3.<br /> :::::::::That said, if the mods still aren't interested in having an A3 section, I don't mind that, although I believe it was worth it to point out that most (if not all) of its characteristics did appear in some pieces of media.

That said, the burden is still on you since you're the one who brought this whole thing up, beyond that I'm not trying to 'shift blame' as much as again point out as Spartan did only having some but not all correct details of a particular gun does not an ID make, especially when other details are plainly contradictory. When several of these cases are like this, it's just a bit too questionable to allow to my mind. With that I'm not seeing what merits a whole 'nother section being added in this page and the potential problems that may bring with it. For the time being I still think putting these guns in the existing section(s) with a note will suffice - If you really want they can be perhaps called as A3s on the media page though the discrepancies should likewise be noted there.

The page just says that A3s are full-auto A2s, and then seemingly contradicts identification rules by saying that full-auto A2s shouldn't be identified as A3s due to them being intended to pass as A2s (in all cases?). --[[User:Tamarin88|Tamarin88]] ([[User talk:Tamarin88|talk]]) 12:27, 27 January 2019 (EST)<br /> : Well the only difference aside from markings and Colt model numbers is full auto capability as I understand. I'll concede perhaps that section could be reworded slightly but nonetheless that's how we do it and it's that way for a reason which has been elaborated on before. But to recap: There is no known instance where a actual marked A3 model is used in media - nor an appearance where the rifle could conceivably be meant to pass for an A3 - that's why that policy exists. Putting the video game bit aside, MPM noted this long ago because he knows for fact that those appearances in films or TV are A2-marked rifles (or the civilian equivalent) with A2 uppers and features but fitted with A1 auto lowers - Which again does not make them truly the same as an actual A3. I admit this is something of a peculiarity but that's how it is here. The M16 and AR-15 SP1 are so finitely distinguished for the same reason despite the fact that again aside from markings select fire is really the only difference between the vast majority of those two models. I'll further add that in the case of 'what it's supposed to be' that since the M16A3 is only used in a couple select units of the armed forces the note that 'they are intended to pass for A2s' is again all but guaranteed to apply as well. Again I grant it is a peculiar and arguably contradictory policy but it is there for a reason - It didn't just pop out of somebody's ass.

Sometimes, we have to use a certain designation to refer to a '''type''' of firearm that meets a certain visual profile. Other examples for your consideration:<br /> <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Norinco Type 56&quot; to refer to all Chinese-made 7.62x39mm AK-pattern rifles, even though the U.S. importers used a plethora of different designations - such as &quot;AKS-762&quot;, &quot;Type 56S&quot;, &quot;AK-47S&quot;, etc. - which likely appear on the receivers of the actual firearms kept in Hollywood's rental armories.) <br /> :::::* We use the term &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; to refer to any AR-15 pattern rifles which meet that visual profile (A2-style handguards, 20&quot; A2-style barrel, with &quot;A1E1&quot; receiver). We do this even though most of the &quot;Colt Model 715&quot; appearances we have documented in movies/TV shows actually feature the similar Olympic Arms K4B copy.<br /> <br /> :::::Again, if you are interested in trying to add nuance to a page and explain that a particular M16A1 rifle is an A2 upper on an A1 lower, there's nothing stopping you from putting a note in the body of the entry, or maybe in the screenshot captions. (For an example of how the latter has been done, see the second screenshot on the M16A2 entry of our ''[[Con Air]]'' page.) What I find objectionable is the notion that we need to come up with new designations for page headers, or create a new M16A3 entry on this page, since the reality of movie guns (which is what we care about) is that there is not a single armorer who stocks genuine DoD-issue M16A3 rifles.<br /> <br /> :::::Another thing to consider: I don't know whether Colt ever used the designation &quot;M16A3&quot; in their catalog; as far as I know, this designation was almost exclusively used by the U.S. Navy (the only service which ever bought/issued the M16A3). It's been a while since I've looked at old Colt catalogs (I have several in my parents' attic), but I don't recall them ever using the &quot;M16A3&quot; designation for commercial sales. While the U.S. military's &quot;M16A2&quot; was only ever available as a burst-firing weapon, Colt's catalog sold full-auto versions of the rifle using the same &quot;M16A2&quot; designation. Then again, Colt's nomenclature frequently differed from the military's in other ways (e.g. when Colt first offered the M4 Carbine, the term &quot;M4&quot; referred to a fixed carry handle rifle, while &quot;M4A1&quot; referred to the flattop version; in the U.S. military, the only difference between the &quot;M4&quot; and &quot;M4A1&quot; was trigger pack). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 18:17, 29 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::::::The thing that you have to remember with Colt rifles is that the &quot;M&quot; names are US forces designations, and when these are used by Colt they are kind of more general names and tend to refer to families rather than a specific weapon. For example, the Colt Model 778 is a carbine that has a fixed A2 carry handle and a four position selector lower but it is called an &quot;M4 Carbine Enhanced&quot; despite having nothing to do with the military M4 except the barrel profile, and there are the 777 and 779 that are the same but burst and auto only respectively that are just marked &quot;M4 Carbine&quot;. It is not even that these are &quot;early&quot; guns, these were being made after the flat tops existed as partly Colt wanted to use up A2 uppers, but also because some customers (particularly less well developed countries) do not need to optics capability and preferred the simplicity of the fixed upper but Colt liked the &quot;M4&quot; name recognition and marketability. On to the A2/A3 distinction, I am for as a general rule just calling them A2s as the majority of the time that is what they are intended to be regardless of what lower is actually used. Similarly, when an M4 actually has an A1 receiver (pretty common as armourers can make new guns full auto by dropping them on older full auto lowers) we just call them M4s even though they pedantically aren't, sometimes noting what the lower is but most of the time not as it isn't really that important. If a gun in a game is genuinely supposed to be an A3 (not just an A2 with full auto because burst fire is less fun) then I have no problem with calling it an A3 on the game page, I just think that it can still go under the A2 section on the main M16 page as separating them is not really necessary (and I guarantee will lead to further arguments). Lastly, specifically for the M16A2E3 type M16A3s, if you are going by Colt's nomenclature there are actually M16A2s with full auto selectors that are separate from these US Navy guns. Colt has sold a lot of &quot;M16A2&quot; pattern guns to various countries on the commercial market and full auto is more popular, so they just made M16A2 with full auto selectors, for example the 701, 703 (not that weird piston one, the other one), 741 and 742. These guns are marked &quot;M16A2&quot; on the receiver and have the A2 profile but have a full auto selector, so even if you see an A2 profile lower firing in full auto that doesn't make it an A3. On that topic, you also have the weird thing that original A2s were actually built on A1 forgings so you can conversely have guns that have an &quot;A1&quot; style lower but are actually genuine A2s ([http://ultimatefirearmtechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/Colt-M16A1-A2-Barrel-large3.png example image of both cases]). All in all, it is kind of shitshow and I see no reason to make it worse. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 12:57, 30 January 2019 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Colt 777 and Colt 778 ==<br /> <br /> I can find out what is the Colt 777, or Colt 778 M4s look like.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past. I've heard that A3s were sold as samples to France, U.K. and Germany (but that was a casual comment that I heard years ago). There 'could' be A3s in the armories of foreign movie productions. That is a completely grey area with which I have no one to verify anything. :( [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :This is strange.

Externally, they look identical, however the A3 is full auto and the A2 is 3 shot burst. Simply put: A1 and A3 are full auto, A2 and A4 are 3 shot burst. The external differences are what make it a little easier to identify. We all know what an A1, A2, and A4 M16 look like, but the A3 is just an A2 that is full auto.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

There's a reason I've removed them before. We don't need to have every variant on the page, and many of them are inaccurate, anyway. The only one we allow is the XM16E1, because we don't have a good photo of one of those yet, and even that may get replaced. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> *The Colt 607 image I posted wasn't one of MPM's [unless someone stole it and re-hosted it], I got it from google.

[[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 05:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Why do we have Colt Model 727 by itself==<br /> When the Model 727 is just the commercial Colt name for the M4 carbine? it doesn't make sense to have the exact GUN made by Colt with it's commercial name (for law enforcement sales or international sales) with a separate category, when it should just be merged in with the M4/M4A1 category. The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

I was just wondering what it actually is...<br /> <br /> P.S. Every detail is intentional and exactly how its supposed to be even though its not a real picture, just so everyone knows that. ;)<br /> [[Image:M4A1COD4.jpg]]<br /> <br /> :It would be a hybrid commercial AR variant. It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

I always thought it was the M4A1 (and please forgive me if I got to the party late), but from what I've read, it seems like they issue the regulars the Model 920, leaving the 921 for Special Forces and the like. -<br /> <br /> i think it all depends on the on-base armory. for example some armory's might still have some M4s. but i think the regular infantry does use the M4A1. however. Special forces dont use the M4A1 or the M4. they use the hK416/417. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 17:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Though I don't know for certain, I wouldn't imply Spec-Ops units use ''only'' the new HK rifles - As you've said, it all depends on what's around, and to a degree what the soldiers prefer (in the case of Special units). Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 19:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Actually, Stan, my understanding is that it's the opposite. The M4 is the most common version, not the M4A1. U.S. military doctrine still discourages full-auto for infantry rifles, so it seems unlikely to me that the M4A1 is going to be more common. As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

Not that any of this really matters as we identify all these guns as A2/A4 anyway. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 03:24, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::::::Well, that's because armorers don't have access to military M16A3s, so they just slap A2/A4 uppers to A1 lowers (correct?) because what Hollywood film director would want fixed burst firing gun (ignoring the fact that that's what soldiers and marines use) ? Or modify civilian semi-automatic replicas to fully automatic fire. In which case the weapon is to be identified as such. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 03:54, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::Didn't mean to imply we are doing anything wrong, just that the definition of the A3 models isn't that important as they don't appear. Having said that, the original M16A3/M16A2E3 was just an A2 upper on an A1 lower, so this is actually what a number of movie guns are, but I understand that they are going for a standard A2. Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt. And so should older M16s. Modern M16s (M16A3 &amp; M16A4), since they have ''at least'' 3 official manufacturers (Colt, Fabrique Nationale and Sabre Defence), should go without Colt. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 06:37, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> For the record, the M4/M4A1 was sole-source production from Colt between initial adoption up until just recently. This was because, unlike the M16, Colt was sole owner of the M4 technical data package. The US government providing this TDP to other manufacturers (Bushmaster, etc.), who built their own M4 carbines from it, was one of the reasons of the &quot;M4&quot; lawsuit.

And then he keeps hitting the forward assist, pulling on the charging handle (which is seen ejecting the unfired rounds) and hitting the bottom of the magazine even though it's already back in the gun after he kept taking it out and putting it back in prior (Someone else in the video even says 'Jesus [name withheld], you don't know how to load these.' and the shooter responds with 'I didn't load these, [name withheld] did.'). I think that could have been a contribution to the gun exploding in his hands. But then again, I'm not the expert on M16 rifles, I'm only guessing. Anyone else got a better explanation? --[[User:ThatoneguyJosh|ThatoneguyJosh]] 17:05, 26 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> :::It was the shooter saying that the guy who came to help didn't know how to load them, and then that assisting guy said it was someone else. There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something? Regardless, I would never use ammo I hadn't loaded myself, particularly not done by a friend of a friend. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:33, 26 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::::I think it's safe to say that the idea of unintentionally loading 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber of an M16 rifle is an overstatement and pretty much absurd (I've NEVER heard of such a thing happening with the M16 rifles). But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 04:15, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> No versions of the M16 has screws rather than push pins at the front of the receiver. The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

If you are talking about the Model 733, that is not really related to the XM177s. US forces purchased a small number of Model 733s for Special Forces and was called the M16A2 commando, although Colt later offered it as the M4 Commando. Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Heck, I can pull up a pic of a flat-topped GUU-5/P that to the untrained (or uncaring) eye would be identified as an M4A1, but isn't because it uses a slab-sided pre-A1 lower receiver. A lot of M4A1s in use by SOCOM units also can't technically by Colt naming standards be considered M4s since SOCOM now has 12.5&quot; URGs for use on M4 lowers.

Not to mention, they show a picture of a short-barreled ACC-M (Advanced Colt Carbine - Monolithic) on their M4 Commamndo page, instead of an actual so-called M4 Commando.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness.

This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail. So unless Oly manufactured tall flattops that had Picatinny rails (and I have no idea if they did), that upper is probably from some other manufacturer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:44, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> M4s with these uppers seem to be returning in Season 4. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 02:37, 10 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> :Here's a pic of one from season 4 (I made a special effort to get good shots of the rail when capping it):[[File:Strike Back S04E01 037.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]My theory about these is that they are fixed carry handle uppers that have been modified (I made a [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2081 topic] about this possibility in the forum due to the show having a flat top sniper AR-15 that somehow had what otherwise appeared to be an SP1 upper). If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

However, these magazine look different to a regular 30 rounder widening outside of the magazine well to double thickness. If the gun is modelled with a 30 round mag and has a capacity of 50 then it is incorrect, just as a gun modelled with a 20 round mag holding 30 rounds is incorrect.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

This Rare gun was tested on May 1985.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 00:07, 12 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> :I'm not certain that this gun is absolutely the first model, as I seem to remember hearing that the very first XM4s used a Commando length 11.5&quot; barrel (after all, the reason it is M4 is that it was the successor to the M3 SMG) but they were quickly changed to the 14.5&quot; barrel so that they could take a bayonet. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:27, 12 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> ::Like the GAU-5A/A, the first XM4 model has a slicksilde upper but it has a A1 Flash Hider.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 12:29, 12 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> :::I have not idea if that gun has a slickside upper or not as it is only an image of the left side and I have never seen a picture of one of the 11.5&quot; prototypes, but I have done some looking into it and it appears that all of these rifles that didn't have an A2 upper were just very early tests and proofs of concept (basically throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks) so I imagine that they could have been built form whatever parts they had lying around so they could have anything. Not sure, but I think that Colt had even stopped making the slickside uppers by this point, as I think that the last SP1s were in 1985 and they were using up existing stock. It wasn't until June 1985 when a contract was signed with Colt to deliver XM4 prototype rifles that a design was actually cemented and it was given its actual designation: <br /> ::::''&quot;Design to utilize the newly adopted M855 Ball and M856 tracer cartridges. Also to be compatible with existing M193 Ball and M196 tracer ammunition as well as M200 blank cartridges. The carbine will use the current M16A2 upper receiver and three-round limited burst control. The carbine will use an improved handguard to enhance firing/handling under normal operation conditions. The carbine shall have a collapsible/sliding stock. Barrel should be 14 1/2 inches in length. Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (MRBS) will equal or exceed 600 rounds when using issue M855 ammunition. The carbine will be configured to accept MILES laser transmitter as well as the M203 grenade launcher.&quot;''<br /> :::I imagine that it was always their intent to use A2 receivers, as when the program was first launched they wanted maximum parts compatibility with the standard issue M16A2 (which was adopted by the USMC in 1983, a year before they started looking into a new carbine). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:43, 13 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 Toy Gun ==<br /> <br /> I found this image in the IMFDB page for [[The Green Berets]].

It looks related to the Wellfire M4A1 listed in the images section at the top of this page, except it has a carry handle rather than a flat top and has an ARMS #51 type SIR handguard. Is this relevant to a page? --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 15:46, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> ::I think is a Custom XM177, because the M4 don't have a A1 pistol grip. The gun's upper and lower receiver is the XM177E1's receiver. The M4 don't have a A1 Flash Hider, but rare XM177 do have A1 Flash Hider (Rare XM177). Even though the M4 has the SIR handgurad, it's possible for the XM177 has a SIR handgurad. I would say this gun is actually a XM177E1 with M4 Stock, and SIR handguard.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 16:32, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> :::Like I said, it isn't really anything specific as with cheap springer guns like this they tend to be cobbled together from whatever parts they have. There aim is to make extra variants so they can make more money while still using the moulds that they have. That is why all of these guns use A1 style receivers, like [[Media:WellFire M16A2 airsoft.jpg|this &quot;M16A2&quot;]] and [[Media:Wellfire M4 RIS.jpg|this &quot;M4A1 RIS&quot;]]. The latter has a flat top, but it is still missing the brass deflector as the mould is based off of an A1 one. Also, note that all 3 of these guns use the same M4 profile barrel which has been chopped off at the front of the M203 step. Similarly, they all use A1 pistol grips to save on different parts. None of the cheap springers like this (even if they have different brand names they tend to be made in the same factories or use the same tooling) are very accurate replicas of particular guns, as that is not their goal. They want to crank out as many varieties as they can for as little cost as possible. Lastly, the flash hider is irrelevant to anything, as it is neither an A1 or A2 as it is symmetric like the A1 but this flash hider only has 4 ports rather than the correct 6. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 16:55, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Rare XM177s ==<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Handgaurd.jpg|thumb|none|500px]]<br /> <br /> A Rare handguard with a 57mm recoilless rifle shell during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Prototype?.jpeg|thumb|none|500px]]<br /> <br /> I think this is a prototype Handguard.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 With A1 Hider.jpg|thumb|none|500px]]<br /> <br /> XM177E1 with A1 Flash Hider used by the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 00:12, 4 January 2018 (EST)<br /> :::Your personal sandbox is probably a better place for this.

Because they are AR derivatives, I'm not sure if I should just add their gun image to the additional images section and call it a day, or should I go ahead and create a new page for them? OR, should I create a new section on the M16 page about them? Is there a distinction between the guns that do not have their own pages and AR derivatives like the [[LWRC SRT rifle series]] that do have their own page? Or is it just that we're lazy and don't want a new page for every random AR derivative? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 02:26, 1 June 2018 (EDT)<br /> <br /> I did the page splits for the War Sports LVOA and the TTI TR-1. I'm primarily motivated to split them instead of adding them to this page because AFAIK they don't really fit any category on the main page.

Searching for it on Google directs me to the Wikipedia page of SOPMOD, which is apparently a list of customizations for USSOCOM. Each section of the page then describes a list of weapon accessories, apparently the components of the SOPMOD and the &quot;Block&quot;. So is the M4A1 Block II just a list of customization parts that SOCOM operators can optionally have for their M4A1 and not an actual variant or configuration of the M4A1? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:49, 20 November 2018 (EST)<br /> <br /> ::It means: an M4 fitted with the major accessories of the SOPMOD Block II kit.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

I was just wondering what it actually is...<br /> <br /> P.S. Every detail is intentional and exactly how its supposed to be even though its not a real picture, just so everyone knows that. ;)<br /> [[Image:M4A1COD4.jpg]]<br /> <br /> :It would be a hybrid commercial AR variant. It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'. They're in the hands of everyone so it is invevitable.<br /> :Even Iran uses a variant of the M16A1, a copy of the Norinco CQ called the ''S-5.56'', as their standard rifle.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

I'm not saying the M16/M4 is a complete piece of crap, but it's definitely not the BEST ASSAULT RIFLE IN THE WORLD! like we Americans like to state all the time (*rolls eyes*). You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> This might be a silly question, but why is it that the AR-15 design required the buffer tube, and other rifles do not? Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

As for the M4 and M4A1, well it ''does'' say the difference in the section but to answer - the M4 has Safe-Semi-Burst fire selection ala the M16A2/M16A4, the M4A1 has full-automatic instead of burst, ala the earlier M16s/M16A1/M16A3. Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside). It also notes some commercial AR-15 carbines are given an 'M4' moniker, but aren't the same as actual military M4s.

Either way, I would imagine that quite a few M16s or M4s in movies are manufactured by companies other than Colt, and even the US military rifles are not necessarily made by Colt these days. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:43, 3 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I am curious... if the military M4 and M16 are not made by Colt these days then by whom? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 14:58, 6 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::There was a stretch in the 1990s when Colt lost the military contract and all the M16s were built by Fabrique Nationale (FN).

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point. The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet.

Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer?

So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Updated and longer (by about 1&quot;) rear buttstock and thicker buttplate, slight finger ledge on the pistol grip about midway down.

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights).

They were used by Colt in marketing materials and catalogues and can, depending on the specific rifle, be found stamped on the lower receiver. For example the Model 733 was originally marketed as the &quot;M16A2 Commando&quot;, and you can find it with either this stamped on the lower, or simply &quot;Colt Commando&quot;. Colt did also start marketing 733s as &quot;M4 Commandos&quot; after the M4 was adopted, despite the fact it did not have a flat top rail. These names are not necessarily unique to a single rifle and can be used for multiple model numbers, for example the name &quot;M16A2 Carbine&quot; was used for the Model 723 and 727, as well as the 720 before it was given the XM4 designation.<br /> :::::::In essence, more modern (meaning, without older parts) M4 CQBR and M4 Commando are just that.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me.

Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

First off, as STANAG 4179 was never ratified there is no actual standard in the first place, just a proposed standard that some countries have chosen to adhere to. Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant. Using the widely used term &quot;STANAG magazine&quot; can be kind of confusing as it implies that there is one single magazine that was '''the''' STANAG magazine, rather than the actual case where it is just a standard that a magazine can meet. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:09, 25 October 2012 (EDT)<br /> [[File:Navyseal50round.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Navy SEAL with 50 round STANAG Magazine]]<br /> Is this the 50-round STANAG magazine that was proven unreliable during Vietnam? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 07:22, 10 November 2012 (EST)<br /> :Can't see all of it, but it looks like it.

Because they are AR derivatives, I'm not sure if I should just add their gun image to the additional images section and call it a day, or should I go ahead and create a new page for them? OR, should I create a new section on the M16 page about them? Is there a distinction between the guns that do not have their own pages and AR derivatives like the [[LWRC SRT rifle series]] that do have their own page?

Each section of the page then describes a list of weapon accessories, apparently the components of the SOPMOD and the &quot;Block&quot;.

<p>Treliazz777: /* Custom M14 */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Video Game|{{PAGENAME}}<br /> |name=Call of Duty: Black Ops III<br /> |picture=CoDBlackOpsIIICover.jpg<br /> |caption=''Official Box Art''<br /> |series=[[Call of Duty]]<br /> |date=2015<br /> |developer=Treyarch<br /> |publisher=Activision<br /> |platforms=Windows&lt;br&gt;PlayStation 4&lt;br&gt;Xbox One<br /> |genre=[[First-Person Shooter]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Call of Duty: Black Ops III''' is the twelfth installment in the ''Call of Duty'' series, and the fourth main entry in the ''Black Ops'' sub-franchise (the first being ''World at War''). It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Austen|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten in other ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten Mk V==<br /> The [[Sten Mk V]] was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018. As with the aforementioned &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, it is erroneously held by the magazine, which results in the weapon being noticeably tilted counterclockwise while hipfiring. When the weapon is equipped with a foregrip, the player character obviously holds the grip instead of the magazine, but this results in a really awkward hipfiring stance since the gun is handled at the same angle as the non-grip version. When equipped with the &quot;Stock&quot; attachment, it gains a folding stock similar to that of the experimental Sten Mk IVA.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5 without vertical grip.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk V without vertical grip - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Sten Mk 4A.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk IVA - 9x19mm, for comparison]]<br /> [[File:BO3 Sten.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Sten in the customization menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==Custom M14==<br /> The [[M14]] was was added via an update on June 11, 2018. It was also add in Zombies as a Mystery Box Weapon.<br /> [[File:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Springfield Armory M1A Black.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Springfield Armory M1A with synthetic stock - 7.62x51mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle. The FN Minimi lacks these features and has a straight 90 degree handle.)]]<br /> [[File:48DredgeBO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The 48 Dredge in the multiplayer loadout screen. Note the rounds that, despite the claims of sub-millimeter ammunition, are not obscenely small.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Dredge 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 48 Dredge mounted on an APC manned by a bored NPC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Dredge 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A second 48 Dredge mounted on an APC to be manned by the player in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;BRM&quot;==<br /> Another Minimi-based design, this time having a sliding stock like the [[M249|Paratrooper]] variant. It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

As with the first ''Black Ops'', it is simply referred to as &quot;RPK&quot;, and has a relocated [[Valmet Assault Rifle Series|Valmet assault rifle]] style rear sight, a [[Valmet M78]] style carrying handle, and a 40-round capacity (rather than the RPK-74's more appropriate 45-rounder). This time however, it has the proper wooden handguard and stock rather than the ribbed handguard and synthetic stock of the later RPK-74M. With the extended mag attachment, it gains a drum magazine that weirdly holds 65 rounds.<br /> [[File:Soviet RPK-74.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPK-74 with 45-round box magazine - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-RPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RPK-74 in the customization menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Sniper Rifles=<br /> ==&quot;Drakon&quot;==<br /> This odd-looking sniper rifle appears to be a combination of the [[FG42]] and [[WA2000]], along with quite a lot of alcohol. According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[File:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[File:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.

<p>Treliazz777: /* Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Video Game|{{PAGENAME}}<br /> |name=Call of Duty: Black Ops III<br /> |picture=CoDBlackOpsIIICover.jpg<br /> |caption=''Official Box Art''<br /> |series=[[Call of Duty]]<br /> |date=2015<br /> |developer=Treyarch<br /> |publisher=Activision<br /> |platforms=Windows&lt;br&gt;PlayStation 4&lt;br&gt;Xbox One<br /> |genre=[[First-Person Shooter]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Call of Duty: Black Ops III''' is the twelfth installment in the ''Call of Duty'' series, and the fourth main entry in the ''Black Ops'' sub-franchise (the first being ''World at War''). It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Austen|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten in other ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten Mk V==<br /> The [[Sten Mk V]] was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018. As with the aforementioned &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, it is erroneously held by the magazine, which results in the weapon being noticeably tilted counterclockwise while hipfiring. When the weapon is equipped with a foregrip, the player character obviously holds the grip instead of the magazine, but this results in a really awkward hipfiring stance since the gun is handled at the same angle as the non-grip version. When equipped with the &quot;Stock&quot; attachment, it gains a folding stock similar to that of the experimental Sten Mk IVA.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5 without vertical grip.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk V without vertical grip - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Sten Mk 4A.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk IVA - 9x19mm, for comparison]]<br /> [[File:BO3 Sten.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Sten in the customization menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==Custom M14==<br /> The [[M14]] was was added via an update on June 11, 2018.<br /> [[File:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Springfield Armory M1A Black.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Springfield Armory M1A with synthetic stock - 7.62x51mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen.

This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle. The FN Minimi lacks these features and has a straight 90 degree handle.)]]<br /> [[File:48DredgeBO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The 48 Dredge in the multiplayer loadout screen. Note the rounds that, despite the claims of sub-millimeter ammunition, are not obscenely small.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Dredge 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A 48 Dredge mounted on an APC manned by a bored NPC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Dredge 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A second 48 Dredge mounted on an APC to be manned by the player in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;BRM&quot;==<br /> Another Minimi-based design, this time having a sliding stock like the [[M249|Paratrooper]] variant. It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

As with the first ''Black Ops'', it is simply referred to as &quot;RPK&quot;, and has a relocated [[Valmet Assault Rifle Series|Valmet assault rifle]] style rear sight, a [[Valmet M78]] style carrying handle, and a 40-round capacity (rather than the RPK-74's more appropriate 45-rounder). This time however, it has the proper wooden handguard and stock rather than the ribbed handguard and synthetic stock of the later RPK-74M. With the extended mag attachment, it gains a drum magazine that weirdly holds 65 rounds.<br /> [[File:Soviet RPK-74.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPK-74 with 45-round box magazine - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-RPK.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RPK-74 in the customization menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Sniper Rifles=<br /> ==&quot;Drakon&quot;==<br /> This odd-looking sniper rifle appears to be a combination of the [[FG42]] and [[WA2000]], along with quite a lot of alcohol. According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[File:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[File:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.

It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Sten#Austen Mk I/II|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten Mk II in previous ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten MkV==<br /> The [[Sten#Sten_Mk_V|Sten MkV]] was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5 without vertical grip.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten MkV]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle.

It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[Image:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.

It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Sten#Austen Mk I/II|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten Mk II in previous ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten MkV==<br /> The [[Sten#Sten_Mk_V|Sten MkV]] was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|450px|Sten MkV]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle. The FN Minimi lacks these features and has a straight 90 degree handle.)]]<br /> [[File:48DredgeBO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The 48 Dredge in the multiplayer loadout screen.

It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[Image:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode. While the Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 is available for use in-game, this particular Colt M1911 isn't.<br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG M1911 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M1911 on the GobbleGum for &quot;Near Death Experience&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG SPAS 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M1911 on the GobbleGum for &quot;Respin Cycle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Franchi SPAS-12==<br /> A [[Franchi SPAS-12]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGum.<br /> [[Image:Franchi-SPAS12.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Franchi SPAS-12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG SPAS 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SPAS on the GobbleGum for &quot;Respin Cycle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AK-47==<br /> An [[AK-47]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Always Done Swiftly&quot;, &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Bullet Bound&quot;, &quot;Shopping Free&quot; and &quot;Head Drama&quot; GobbleGums.<br /> [[Image:TypeIII AK47.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-47 - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AK 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AK on the GobbleGum for &quot;Shopping Free&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AK 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AK on the GobbleGum for &quot;Bullet Bound&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> {{Call of Duty Series}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Video Game]]<br /> [[Category:First-Person Shooter]]<br /> [[Category:Action]]<br /> [[Category:Science-Fiction]]<br /> [[Category:War]]</div>

<p>Treliazz777: /* Sten MkV */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Video Game|{{PAGENAME}}<br /> |name=Call of Duty: Black Ops III<br /> |picture=CoDBlackOpsIIICover.jpg<br /> |caption=''Official Box Art''<br /> |series=[[Call of Duty]]<br /> |date=2015<br /> |developer=Treyarch<br /> |publisher=Activision<br /> |platforms=Windows&lt;br&gt;PlayStation 4&lt;br&gt;Xbox One<br /> |genre=[[First-Person Shooter]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Call of Duty: Black Ops III''' is the twelfth installment in the ''Call of Duty'' series, and the fourth main entry in the ''Black Ops'' sub-franchise (the first being ''World at War''). It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Sten#Austen Mk I/II|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten Mk II in previous ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten MkV==<br /> The [[Sten#Sten_Mk_V|Sten MkV]] was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|450px|Sten MkV]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle.

It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[Image:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.

<p>Treliazz777: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Video Game|{{PAGENAME}}<br /> |name=Call of Duty: Black Ops III<br /> |picture=CoDBlackOpsIIICover.jpg<br /> |caption=''Official Box Art''<br /> |series=[[Call of Duty]]<br /> |date=2015<br /> |developer=Treyarch<br /> |publisher=Activision<br /> |platforms=Windows&lt;br&gt;PlayStation 4&lt;br&gt;Xbox One<br /> |genre=[[First-Person Shooter]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Call of Duty: Black Ops III''' is the twelfth installment in the ''Call of Duty'' series, and the fourth main entry in the ''Black Ops'' sub-franchise (the first being ''World at War''). It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Sten#Austen Mk I/II|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten Mk II in previous ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten MkV==<br /> The Sten MkV was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|450px|Sten MkV]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle.

It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[Image:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

The latter are manned by a pair of NPCs who seem rather apathetic about actually using them.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk47-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Mk 47 Mod 0 &quot;Striker 40&quot; automatic grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47s on a crashed APC in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Mk47 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of Mk 47 manned by bored (and identical) NPCs in the campaign level &quot;Black Ops&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==<br /> German soldiers in the campaign level &quot;Demon Within&quot; throw M24 Stielhandgranates (this is odd, given their use of the standard futuristic weapons) rather enthusiastically at the player character.<br /> [[Image:24-43 grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate &quot;Potato Masher&quot; high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:BO3 M24 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of potato mashers on a table.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt M1911A1==<br /> A [[Colt M1911A1]]'s silhouette is visible on the &quot;Arms Grace&quot;, &quot;Armamental Accomplishment&quot;, &quot;Near Death Experience&quot; and &quot;Respin Cycle&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.

<p>Treliazz777: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Video Game|{{PAGENAME}}<br /> |name=Call of Duty: Black Ops III<br /> |picture=CoDBlackOpsIIICover.jpg<br /> |caption=''Official Box Art''<br /> |series=[[Call of Duty]]<br /> |date=2015<br /> |developer=Treyarch<br /> |publisher=Activision<br /> |platforms=Windows&lt;br&gt;PlayStation 4&lt;br&gt;Xbox One<br /> |genre=[[First-Person Shooter]]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''Call of Duty: Black Ops III''' is the twelfth installment in the ''Call of Duty'' series, and the fourth main entry in the ''Black Ops'' sub-franchise (the first being ''World at War''). It is developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, PS4, XBoX One, and released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Beenox and Mercenary Technology. The game was released on November 6th, 2015.<br /> <br /> DLC updates have since added a number of new weapons, though like in ''Advanced Warfare'' (and unlike previous installments) simply ''owning'' the DLC does not unlock the weapon: instead, it must be unlocked using the &quot;supply drop&quot; mechanic.<br /> <br /> '''See the [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III|discussion page]] for fictional weapon information.'''<br /> <br /> {{VG Title}}<br /> <br /> =Handguns=<br /> ==&quot;Annihilator&quot;==<br /> A massive, single action revolver that fires the fictitious &quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot; round; oddly, unlike normal depleted uranium cartridges, the rounds fired by this seem to explode on impact (albeit with a small, entirely cosmetic explosion). It is the special weapon of multiplayer character Seraph. It is capable of one shot kills to any part of the body at any range. It is also unlockable in campaign and can be reloaded, unlike its multiplayer counterpart. However, it lacks a reload animation and is simply moved out of view when reloaded. Given the large, heavy-profile barrel, coupled with the firing and cocking animations, it seems that the [[Taurus Raging Bull]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]'' was used as a base model.<br /> <br /> [[File:Taurus Raging Bull.JPG|thumb|none|350px|Taurus Raging Bull - .44 Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3annihilator.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Annihilator in the singleplayer weapon selection menu. Note the strange iron sights; these are actually projectors for an integrated 2-part holographic sight that is only visible in first person.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Bloodhound&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; is a revolver that appears as a starting weapon in the Zombies map Shadows of Evil. It is based on the OTs-38 Stechkin silent revolver, and the unique way the cylinder hinges out when reloading is very similarly to it. However, the in-game weapon is not silent and has a cylinder of 8 rounds that swings out to the left side, compared to the OTs-38 Stechkin's 5-round cylinder that swings out to the right. It is referred to as &quot;revolver38&quot; in the game files. For some reason, the hammer self-cocks after firing; in the case of revolvers, this is only possible on the few semi-automatic ones such as the [[Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver|Webley-Fosbery]] and the [[Mateba Autorevolver|Mateba]], but these ones have a slide, which is not the case for the &quot;Bloodhound&quot;.<br /> [[File:OTs-38 Stechkin.jpg|thumb|none|300px|OTs-38 Stechkin - 7.62x42 mm SP-4]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Bloodhound&quot; in first person.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Bloodhound-thirdperson.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the Bloodhound in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt 1851 Navy==<br /> A movie poster in the campaign levels &quot;Rise and Fall&quot; and &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; features a man holding what appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]].<br /> [[Image:1851Navy.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt 1851 Navy - .36 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Colt 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;L-CAR 9&quot;==<br /> The &quot;L-CAR 9&quot; is a fully-automatic machine pistol that seems to be based primarily on the [[VBR-Belgium PDW]]. The data vault reveals it is chambered in the fictional &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round and is of American origin.<br /> [[Image:Vbr-b-compact.jpg|thumb|none|300px|VBR-Belgium PDW - 7.92x24mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3lcar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The L-CAR 9 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==<br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is incorrectly referred to as the Mauser C96, which uses stripper clips as opposed to box magazines. It once again only fires in semi-auto.<br /> <br /> Unlike its counterpart in the previous game, the weapon is incorrectly depicted as DAO rather than single-action.<br /> [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|First-person view of the Mauser; note how the hammer is not cocked.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 1858 New Army==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] is used by Dempsey in the intro cutscene of the remastered Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC, still erroneously depicted as double-action. However, it is not available for use during gameplay.<br /> [[File:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Remington1858.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey pointing his revolver at Belinski when they first meet.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RK5&quot;==<br /> Seems to be loosely based on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match]] with an extended magazine and appears to be two-toned. Fires in three round bursts. The data vault states it is from the United Kingdom and is chambered for &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;, the same round the Vesper, VMP and Kuda fire, making it a rifle-caliber burst pistol. Interestingly, despite its slide moving and reciprocating during fire, when emptied it does not lock back and must be manually pulled when a fresh magazine is inserted; even more oddly, when dual-wielding the weapon or using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment (which, as with other pistols, simply adds a Magpul-type handling loop to the magazine baseplate that is far too small to be of any use), empty reloads will have the player character flick what seems to be a slide release, despite the slide remaining in battery for the entire duration of the process..<br /> [[File:H&amp;K-USP-Compensator.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP Match - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3rk5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RK5 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Springfield Armory Loaded 1911==<br /> The [[Springfield Armory Loaded 1911]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017, and is simply referred to as &quot;1911&quot;.<br /> [[File:SA loaded m1911.jpg|thumb|none|325px|Springfield Armory Loaded M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1911.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SA Loaded 1911 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==TDI Kard==<br /> The [[TDI Kard]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen on the &quot;Immortal&quot; outfit for the campaign's female playable character. Other than that, it is not available for use in-game.<br /> [[File:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|350px|TDI Kard prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Kard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The shoulder-holstered TDI Kard, seen directly next to the &quot;KN-44&quot; assault rifle.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==&quot;Bootlegger&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Bootlegger&quot;, a submachine gun exclusive to Zombies mode, is primarily based on the [[Sten Mk III]], but has a pistol grip similar to that of the Australian [[Sten#Austen Mk I/II|Austen Mk I]] variant, as well as having an Art Deco design and a custom stock. Like most iterations of the Sten Mk II in previous ''Call of Duty'' games, it is incorrectly held from the magazine rather than the handguard, magwell or the assembly in front of the trigger guard. When Pack-a-Punched, it becomes the &quot;Ein Sten&quot;, a play on the actual Sten submachine gun and Einstein's name.<br /> [[File:Sten MkIII.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sten Mk III - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Austen.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Austen Mk I - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character firing the &quot;Bootlegger&quot; in the Shadows of Evil trailer.]]<br /> [[File:Bootlegger thirdperson BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Third-person view of the &quot;Bootlegger&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1==<br /> The exact same [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' is seen in an armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC. The weapon also appears as a &quot;hidden&quot; weapon in the PC files, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:MP7 40rdmag.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP7A1 with Zeiss Z-Point red dot sight and 40-round magazine - 4.6x30mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Kuda&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Kuda&quot; is a &quot;futurised&quot; [[Heckler &amp; Koch UMP]]. The data vault states it is South African in origin and is chambered for the &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; round, making it a weird futuristic submachine gun firing a rifle like round.<br /> [[Image:UMP 45.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch UMP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kuda.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Kuda in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==MP40==<br /> The [[MP40]] is usable in five of the remastered Zombies maps from previous games, available in the &quot;Zombies Chronicles&quot; DLC. It was also seen in the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map &quot;Der Eisendrache&quot;, used by German soldiers in the truck.<br /> [[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen reloading his MP40.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HG 40&quot;==<br /> Prior to the availability of the aforementioned MP40, a futuristic version of it called &quot;HG 40&quot; was available via a March 2016 update.<br /> [[File:HG40 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;HG 40&quot; in all of its glory.]]<br /> <br /> ==MSMC==<br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017, and is referred to as &quot;XMC&quot;.<br /> [[File:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:BO3-MSMC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MSMC in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Pharo&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Pharo&quot; is a futuristic SMG with a rather strange gimmick of 4-round bursts with automatic refiring; how this likely works is that the cam mechanism trips the firing mechanism during a burst and afterwards resets automatically, even with the trigger held down. Nevertheless, it shares the same burst-fire function like the [[QCW-05|&quot;Chicom CQB&quot;]] in ''Black Ops II''. <br /> <br /> Visually, it mostly resembles the [[Ruger MP9]], and despite being modeled with a P90-like foregrip by default, it does not benefit from it until the Grip attachment is unlocked, giving it an odd stubby foregrip. It is stated to be South Korean in origin and is chambered for &quot;9x24mm&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RugerMP9smg.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Ruger MP9 with stock folded - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[File:Pharo BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pharo in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==PPSh-41==<br /> The [[PPSh-41]] became first available in the Zombies map &quot;Gorod Krovi&quot; from the Descent DLC, with a 71-round drum magazine. The weapon was later added to multiplayer via an update on February 7, 2017 (with both 35 and 71-round capacities), and then to the remastered Zombies maps &quot;Verrückt&quot; and &quot;Shi No Numa&quot;. The PPSh-41 is held by the drum magazine in Zombies, whereas in multiplayer it is held by the barrel shroud (regardless of which magazine is used); while the latter would be ill-advised due to the barrel's heat generated by the fast fire rate, it shouldn't be a problem for the multiplayer characters due to their cybernetic augmentations.<br /> [[File:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 35-round box magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 with 71-round drum magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]<br /> [[File:BO3-PPSh41.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The PPSh-41 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==Thompson M1921AC==<br /> The [[Thompson M1921AC]] is available in the Zombies map Revelations and in the remastered edition of Origins. Like in ''Black Ops II'', it is referred to as the &quot;M1927&quot;, but now it correctly fires from an open bolt and appropriately doesn't need to be cocked when empty. For some reason though, the empty reloading animation shows the player character flipping the fire selector after replacing the magazine.<br /> [[File:M1921Thompson.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M1921.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen firing a Pack-a-Punched M1921AC.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sten MkV==<br /> The Sten MkV was added to multiplayer via an update on April 30, 2018.<br /> [[File:Sten Mk5.JPG|thumb|none|450px|Sten MkV]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Vesper&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Vesper&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the modified [[Jian She Type-05]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II'', though it has a FAMAS/QBZ-95-style charging handle. It however fills the role that the Skorpion Evo III did in Black Ops 2: an SMG with an obscenely high fire rate, making it highly effective in close quarters. According to the data vault, it is French in origin and is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot;. Despite firing the same round as the VMP, it strangely does less damage, likely to balance its extreme fire rate.<br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Jian She Type-05 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vesper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Vesper in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;VMP&quot;==<br /> A sub-machine gun based on the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]]. It is however identical to the MP7 from Black Ops 2; an SMG with a 40-round magazine and a high fire rate, being highly popular online and a viable weapon even at higher ranks. The data vault reveals it is chambered in &quot;5.58x33mm&quot; and is Italian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Beretta Mx4 Storm.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Mx4 Storm - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3vmp.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The VMP in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Weevil&quot;==<br /> The general shape of the &quot;Weevil&quot; appears to be primarily based on a combination of a Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 and [[FN P90 TR]] with a suppressor and LAM reminiscent of the [[Heckler &amp; Koch Mark 23]] added to the front, as well as the pistol's front sight. Its default reload animations is similar in style to the P90 from the Modern Warfare series, and seems to be a futuristic successor to it; it is stated to be chambered in &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; and is Belgian in origin.<br /> [[Image:Nerfguns3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' P90 / Nerf N-Strike Firefly REV-8 hybrid]]<br /> [[Image:SOCOM.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' Heckler &amp; Koch MK23 Mod 0 Phase II Prototype (note front cocking serrations, deleted from production models) with Tokyo Marui replica of a Knight's Armament suppressor and prototype Laser Aiming Module - (fake) .45 ACP]]<br /> [[File:Bo3weevil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Weevil&quot; on the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> =Shotguns=<br /> ==Beretta Model 682==<br /> The [[Beretta 682]] was added via an update on August 15, 2017. Like in the prequels, it is named after the Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72. It was also previously seen in the hands of Nikolai Belinski during the intro cutscene of the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;.<br /> [[File:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Olympia.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 682 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Haymaker 12&quot;==<br /> The Haymaker 12 is a fully-automatic shotgun that feeds from a 16-round drum. However, its appearance is based more on an assault rifle such as the [[Bushmaster ACR]]. The data vault states it is American in origin and fires 12 gauge shotshells. It reuses the reload animation of the HAMR light machine gun from Black Ops II.<br /> [[File:Bo3hay.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Haymaker 12 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KRM-262&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KRM-262&quot; appears to be somewhat based on the FP6 from ''[[Call of Duty: Ghosts]]''. Interesting to note is that the shells are stored on the right side of the gun, covering the ejection port. In another interesting design choice, the shells are inserted on top of the gun, à la the shotguns from the ''Halo'' series, except the receiver opens up for the shells to be inserted, rather than using a traditional loading gate. Precisely why one would design a manually-operated shotgun with a receiver that seemingly opens up via electric power to reload is not at all clear. The data vault states it is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells. Notably, the weapon re-uses the firing animation of the Remington 870 from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Bo3krm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KRM-262 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Remington 870==<br /> The exact same custom [[Remington 870]] model from ''Black Ops II'' is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. It is also another hidden weapon from the PC files like the MP7, and was a placeholder.<br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire light, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Bo3reming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's Remington 870 model.]]<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=<br /> ==AKS-74U==<br /> The [[AKS-74U]] was added via an update on May 23, 2017. Like in most ''Call of Duty'' games, it is referred to as &quot;AK-74u&quot;, as well as still being incorrectly classified as a submachine gun. The empty reloading animation involves the player character pulling the charging handle with an underhand technique, as opposed to to the right-hand one used in other games. An AKS-74U's silhouette is also visible on the &quot;Wall Power&quot; and &quot;Secret Shopper&quot; GobbleGums in Zombies mode.<br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AKS74U.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U in the multiplayer loadout screen. Unlike in ''Black Ops'' and ''Black Ops II'', it has a wooden furniture, as well as a more correctly proportioned handguard.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Secret Shopper&quot;.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 GG AKS74U 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AKS-74U on the GobbleGum for &quot;Wall Power&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==AN-94==<br /> The [[AN-94]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It appears as the &quot;KVK 99m&quot;, and is largely patterned after the one seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''.<br /> [[File:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-AN94.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AN-94 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Colt XM16E1 (Colt Model 603)==<br /> The [[XM16E1]] has been added via an update on February 7, 2017. It uses the reloading animation of the FN SCAR from other games. Unlike the USAF M16 in the two prior games, this is an XM16E1, as it is modeled with a forward assist. However, it still incorrectly fires in three-round burst mode, holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine and once again has the carrying handle erroneously removed when optics are equipped. &quot;CAL .223 5.56&quot; can be seen written on the magazine well, and for some reason the description in the selection menu contradicts itself by stating that the weapon is &quot;semi-automatic with three round burst fire&quot;. <br /> [[File:XM16E1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|XM16E1 (Colt Model 603) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-M16.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M16 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FFAR&quot;==<br /> A futurized version of the [[FAMAS#FAMAS FÉLIN|FAMAS F1 Valorisé]] has been added via a May 2016 update. It is called &quot;FFAR&quot; in-game, but the game files actually refers it to as a FAMAS.<br /> [[Image:FamasFelin.jpg|thumb|none|442px|FAMAS F1 Valorisé prototype with SCROME J4 scope - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:FFAR BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The game's &quot;FFAR&quot;, complete with the obligatory unnecessary sling straps around the handguard and stock, and a flash hider that isn't actually slotted. Note the gas plug while the real FA-MAS is actually a delayed blowback operated rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN SCAR-L==<br /> The [[SCAR-L]] model from ''Black Ops II'' (where it was labeled as &quot;HAMR&quot;) is seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot; from the Eclipse DLC.<br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> <br /> ==Heckler &amp; Koch HK416==<br /> Several unobtainable [[Heckler &amp; Koch HK416]]s are present in a crate in the campaign mission &quot;Lotus Towers&quot;, as well as being seen in the armory of the map &quot;Rift&quot;. The weapon appears in the game files, but is presumably replaced by the more futuristic-looking ICR-1 below.<br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hk416.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HK416's render. &quot;WA&quot; presumably stands for the in-game Winslow Accord, which is a coalition of Western nations including the United States, so it's likely that this could have been the standard-issue rifle for the US military.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;ICR-1&quot;==<br /> The &quot;ICR-1&quot; is the more futuristic version of the HK416 that replaced the original placeholder, and given its relatively low damage and high accuracy, it is a spiritual successor to the &quot;M27&quot; from ''Black Ops II'' and reuses its reloading animations for the standard magazine and Fast Mags attachments. It is chambered in 5.56x45mm and is stated to be American in origin.<br /> [[File:ICR1 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ICR-1 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;HVK-30&quot;==<br /> The &quot;HVK-30&quot; appears to be a carbine [[FN FAL]] derivative, with diagonally sloped upper receiver typical of modern FAL derivatives like the [[FN FAL#Diseños Casanave SC-2010|SC-2010]] or [[DSA SA58 OSW]] and an AR15-esque charging handle. This receiver is then buried in a variety of futuristic bits, such as a monolithic handguard whose rear side panel opens to presumably vent heat (despite no heat visibly venting when opened) when there is no magazine loaded into the weapon. It is described as being chambered in 7.62x35mm (also known as .300 AAC Blackout) in the campaign's data vault and is American in origin.<br /> <br /> [[Image:DSA-SA-58-OSW.jpg‎|thumb|none|425px|DSArms SA58 OSW Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3hvk.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The HVK-30 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==IMI Galil ARM==<br /> The [[IMI Galil ARM]] has been added via an update on March 16, 2017.<br /> [[File:Galil.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-Galil.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil ARM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;KN-44&quot;==<br /> The &quot;KN-44&quot; is a futuristic successor to the AK platform; it was formerly known as the &quot;ARAK&quot; in the alpha (coincidentally named similarly to the real ARAK-21 rifle system of Faxon Firearms) and &quot;ARK-7&quot; in the beta. It is chiefly based on the AK-200 prototype of the [[AK-12]], but has distinct features such as a 7.62x39mm-styled magazine, a diagonal stock similar to that of the original [[AK-47]], a ribbed receiver cover like the [[AKM]], and a deeper magazine well.<br /> <br /> The data vault states it is chambered in 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm and is Russian in origin (despite the weapon model itself having markings stating its caliber as 7.62x51mm, and as being manufactured in &quot;Belfast, UK&quot;). The latter is somewhat justified by the data vault's statement of precisely what a &quot;KN-44&quot; is; it's not so much a specific weapon so much as it is a type of weapon- an open-source weapon concept (think &quot;Luty submachine gun&quot;) that can be 3d printed in its entirety, and can vary greatly in quality of materials and manufacture, as well as some design details. The caliber, however, is simply impossible based on the magazine's size. When equipped with the Extended Magazine attachment, its reload becomes identical to the AK-47 from the Modern Warfare games, and it becomes modeled with an RPK's 40-round magazine. The &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment slings two magazines together in a crescent shape with some paracord, and the reload animation is then identical to the Fast Mags reload for the Black Ops II AN-94; without either magazine attachment, the reload is based on that first used with the FAL in ''Modern Warfare 2'', with the player character knocking the release lever with a new mag to remove the old one, then turning the weapon on its side to rack the charging handle if it was emptied.<br /> [[File:AK-200.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 with ACOG scope, folding iron sights, side-folding skeletonized stock, and weaponlight foregrip - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[File:AK200 photo shop.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-200 - 7.62x39mm (photoshopped image of an [[AK-103]])]]<br /> [[File:Bo3kn44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The KN-44 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> [[File:BO3-KN44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Random robot-headed guy carrying the KN-44. Get the [[Elysium]] reference here?]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M8A7&quot;==<br /> The M8A7 is a 4-round burst firing assault rifle which seems to be designed after the [[Heckler &amp; Koch SL8]], though its name implies it is a descendant of the identically functioning M8A1 from Black Ops II, which was based more on the [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM8]], though the weapon has a side mounted charging handle instead of a top mounted one. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and chambered in 7.62x35mm. During firing, the weapon's charging handle reciprocates; it doesn't actually reciprocate far enough to chamber anything much longer than a .22 short, indicating that (assuming we are to assume that this makes some sort of sense) either the weapon has some sort of needlessly complex partial linkup to the charging handle, or the handle simply (and quite frankly, rather worryingly) shakes and rattles around during firing.<br /> [[Image:H&amp;KSL8Tactical.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Heckler &amp; Koch SL8-1 Tactical Match Rifle - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3m8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M8A7 in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MX Garand&quot;==<br /> A futuristic version of the [[M1 Garand]] has been added via a February 2016 update; it is called the &quot;MX Garand&quot; in-game. Unlike the actual weapon, the bolt is not automatically locked back when an empty clip is ejected (but the clip still flies out on the final shot), nor does it automatically fly forward after inserting a new clip, requiring the player character to manually pull back the bolt before loading in a fresh clip, and then pull it again to release it from its locked back position to chamber the first round. Unlike its counterpart in [[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]], [[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Advanced Warfare]], a non-empty clip cannot be manually ejected, requiring the weapon be emptied before a reload can occur. Due to a glitch on the PC version, which has since been fixed, it was possible to manually eject a non-empty clip, but it used the exact same animations as the empty reload (though the glitched mid-clip reload had the clip be ejected after the bolt is pulled back), unlike in the two previously mentioned games which somewhat accurately depicts a non-empty reload with a different, and longer animation.<br /> [[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1 Garand - .30-06]]<br /> [[File:MX Garand BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MX Garand in the multiplayer weapon selection menu. As with many of the game's weapons, there is a sling strap wrapped around the handguard (underneath the rails, interestingly enough), and another one on the stock. Note also the terminologically incorrect statement in the description of a &quot;Semi-auto assault rifle&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] is available in the remastered edition of the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot;, in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.<br /> [[File:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[File:BO3-StG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Richtofen at the right, holding a StG 44.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XR-2&quot;==<br /> A futuristic bullpup rifle loosely based on the [[Tavor]] (or rather more precisely ''[[Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]'''s &quot;IMR&quot;, which was in turn based on a Tavor). It fires in three-round bursts with an auto-reset (stated in the data vault to be a &quot;double-hop&quot; system), meaning keeping the trigger held down will cause it to continuously fire in bursts like the Pharo. It is stated to be American in origin and is chambered for &quot;.308mm&quot;; this is clearly nonsensical, as any such cartridge would be absurdly small. While rounds as small as 1mm have existed, these are typically flechettes (such as those used in the [[Steyr ACR]]) as opposed to traditional projectiles. The .308 Winchester caliber was most likely intended, which is a measurement in inches, not a metrical one. Oddly enough, despite it apparently being a weapon in mass production, &quot;XR&quot; supposedly stands for &quot;Experimental Rifle&quot;.<br /> [[Image:Tavor-tar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Tavor TAR-21 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xr2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XR-2&quot; in the weapon selection screen. At full size, an HK-style pictogram selector can be seen; this has only safe and semi-auto positions, and is set to ''safe''.]]<br /> <br /> =Machine Guns=<br /> Like in several ''Call of Duty'' installments, the portable machine guns in the game (excluding the Death Machine and the Scythe) are classed as &quot;light machine guns&quot;. This contradicts the data vault describing the &quot;48 Dredge&quot; as a medium machine gun and the &quot;Gorgon&quot; as a .50 caliber heavy machine gun.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;48 Dredge&quot;==<br /> The &quot;48 Dredge&quot; is a futuristic FN Minimi-based design that is loosely based on the [[FN Minimi|M249-E2]] (despite the name alluding to the [[Mk 48 Mod 0]]), but fires 6-round bursts automatically in a similar fashion to the Pharo. Given the LMGs' priority of sheer volume of suppressing fire over accuracy, the burst-fire is quite counter-intuitive to the weapon's role, but is probably deliberate in order to balance its otherwise high fire rate with the slower-firing LMGs. The data vault hints that it is specifically designed to be a precision suppression weapon. It is stated to be chambered in the same absurdly small &quot;.308mm&quot; as the XR-2, features a similar &quot;double-hop&quot; burst system and is from the United Kingdom.<br /> [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M249-E2 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) - 5.56x45mm (note heat shield over barrel and bent, finger grooved handle.

It feeds from a 75-round belt fed through a chute, and is probably a spiritual successor to ''Black Ops II'''s Mk 48. It is stated to be Belgian in origin and feeds caseless 5.56 &quot;Brimstone&quot; ammunition.<br /> <br /> Oddly, during the campaign two &quot;BRMs&quot; can be found mounted on technicals that somehow fire grenade rounds without any external alteration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M249ParaWAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M249 SAW paratrooper version with 200 round ammo drum - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3brm.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BRM in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Death Machine&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Death Machine&quot; is an even more futuristic version of the man-portable [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]] that appeared in ''Black Ops II''. This time however, it is only available in the Campaign and Zombies mode. In addition, the multiplayer specialist weapon known as the &quot;Scythe&quot; appears to have been based on a GAU-19/A. A mounted version appears in the campaign level &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;. They are also used as remote controlled sentry guns.<br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|400px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 DM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Death Machine mounted on an airboat in the campaign level &quot;Provocation&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The mounted Death Machine in Ramses Station in &quot;Rise and Fall&quot;.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 mounted 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|ADS view.

According to the data vault, its Singaporean in origin and is chambered in &quot;7.63x54mm&quot;. Despite this, the magazine (which, given the caliber, would be a single-stack holding around 5 rounds) carries 20 cartridges. <br /> [[File:Walther-WA2000.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther WA 2000 - .300 Win Mag]]<br /> [[Image:1288256728.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|FG 42 second model with bipod and bayonet deployed - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:Bo3drakon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the future, weapons will be more complex than they have any real right to be.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Locus&quot;==<br /> Primarily based on the [[PGM Mini-Hecate]]. It is stated to be German in origin and chambered for 8.6x70mm, which is the metric size of the .338 Lapua Magnum round.<br /> [[File:MiniHecate-SIMRAD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PGM Mini-Hecate - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:Bo3locus.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Locus in the loadout menu. Note the rounds in the windowed magazine that, as one might expect, never deplete.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;P-06&quot;==<br /> An unorthodox sniper rifle that fires a three-round burst instead of a single shot, and it has a charge-up delay before firing which is similar to the Storm PSR from ''Black Ops II''. Its appearance is primarily based on the [[Kel-Tec RFB]] carbine. Data vault info reveals it is Swiss in origin and is chambered for &quot;7.8x50mm RAR&quot;.<br /> [[Image:RFB-18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kel-Tec RFB Carbine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3p06.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The P-06 in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;RSA Interdiction&quot;==<br /> The &quot;RSA Interdiction&quot; is a futuristic bullpup sniper rifle that has been added via a March 2016 update. It is bolt-action in function and is fed by cylinders that swing out to the left and are removed during reloads. The default 6-round cylinder is replaced with an 8-round cylinder when using the Extended Mag attachment. Based on the in-game animations, the rifle shouldn't be able to fire more than 1 round per cylinder, as neither pulling the trigger nor cycling the action rotates the cylinder. It appears to be based on the [[Crye Precision Six12]] revolving shotgun.<br /> [[File:Crye Precision SIX12 2016.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Crye Precision Six12 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:RSAInterdiction BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The RSA Interdiction in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XPR-50&quot;==<br /> The &quot;XPR-50&quot; from the prequel, chambered in .50 BMG yet resembling a [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], has been added via an update in March 2018.<br /> [[File:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[File:BO3-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Launchers=<br /> ==China Lake Grenade Launcher==<br /> The [[China Lake Launcher]] was added via an update on July 11, 2017. It is referred to as the &quot;MAX-GL&quot;, and is the only non-Specialist grenade launcher in the game.<br /> [[File:US M79 pump-action four-shot 40x46mm grenade launcher.jpg|thumb|none|425px|China Lake grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[File:BO3-ChinaLake.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The China Lake in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==Panzerschreck==<br /> In the animated intro cuscene of the Zombies map Der Eisendrache, one of the German soldiers uses a [[Panzerschreck]].<br /> [[File:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPzB 54 &quot;Panzerschreck&quot; rocket launcher - 88mm]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;XM-53&quot;==<br /> Based on the [[Carl Gustav M3]], with a [[Heckler &amp; Koch XM25]]-style barrel and an M320 style side opening action. In campaign, it was referred as RPG in a character's voice. The data vault reveals it is American in origin and fires a &quot;76x126mm&quot; warhead. A variant is also available in the campaign for use as an ordinary selectable secondary weapon (as opposed to the territory &quot;heavy weapon&quot; ones that can be picked up throughout certain levels) known as the &quot;XM-53 DF&quot;, the &quot;DF&quot; standing for &quot;dumb-fire&quot;, as this variant of the weapon lacks any sort of lock-on system (or, for that matter, any sort of sight, with the standard integrated optical sight being removed; despite this, aiming down the nonexistent sight is not just possible, it's ''mandatory'').<br /> [[File:CarlGustavM3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Carl Gustav M3 - 84mm]]<br /> [[File:ATKXM25.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model- 25 x 40mm]]<br /> [[File:Bo3xm53.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The XM-53 in the loadout menu.]]<br /> <br /> =Mounted Weapons=<br /> <br /> ==8.8cm Flak 18/36==<br /> A Flak 88mm is usable during the easter egg of the Zombies map Zetsubou No Shima.<br /> <br /> ==M61 Vulcan==<br /> <br /> The giant &quot;mothership&quot; encountered at the end of the level &quot;Lotus Towers&quot; is armed with upside-down RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers and [[Phalanx CIWS]] installations on its underside.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Phalanx CIWS 1B.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Phalanx Block 1B CIWS - 20x102mm]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 Phalanx 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maybe the mothership would be harder to shoot down if it wasn't carrying as much anti-aircraft armament as an ''Iowa''-class battleship.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG34 Panzerlauf==<br /> [[MG34|MG34 Panzerlauf]] machine guns can be seen in the hull mountings of King Tiger tanks encountered during the campaign level &quot;Demon Within.&quot;<br /> [[Image:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:BO3 MG34 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG34 Panzerlauf on the knocked out King Tiger in &quot;Demon Within&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> ==MG42==<br /> <br /> [[MG42]]s appear in &quot;Demon Within;&quot; they are seen both in fixed mountings with 50-round drums, which is incorrect for weapons being used as medium machine guns which typically used 250-round belts, and mounted on Hanomag halftracks and King Tiger tanks encountered during the level. The latter is also incorrect; since the MG42's barrel-change system was difficult to operate when it was mounted, German tanks used MG34s as AA weapons. Mounted MG42s are also available in some Zombies DLC maps.<br /> <br /> The MG42 has infinite ammunition if used and no limit to how long it can be fired; it appears to be a reworked version of the portable ''World at War'' model, and rather apathetically coughs ammunition out of a position just behind its ejection port.<br /> <br /> [[File:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An MG42 mounted to a fence.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another one on a halftrack.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The machine gun mounted on a King Tiger.]]<br /> [[File:BO3 MG42 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG42 used as an automated turret in the remastered Zombies map &quot;Kino der Toten&quot;.

This is the only time the SOG Knife is in use.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0159.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SOG Knife in idle. Note the tally marks.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0167.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SOG Knife been drawn.]]<br /> <br /> == Tomahawk ==<br /> The Tomahawk axe is a melee weapon that replaces the throwing knife (or tactical knife) from ''[[Modern Warfare 2]]'' in mutliplayer. In single-player, it's only available on the mission &quot;Rebirth&quot; after obtaining it from a Russian harbor worker and killing him with it.<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tomahawk in Create-a-Class.]]<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BOthrow.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A Tomahawk being thrown.]]<br /> <br /> == Ballistic Knife ==<br /> The ballistic knife is a powerful melee weapon that available only in multiplayer and zombie modes. The knife is firing blades with a spring inside the body.Even though the ballistic knife does not appear in single player,it's appearance in multiplayer could be seen as anachronistic,as the ballistic knife was not developed until the early 1980's<br /> <br /> The ballistic knife in game also has an unrealistically long range,the real ballistic knife has a maximum range of only twenty to thirty feet while the blades in game travels near infinitely in an arc. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BK-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ballistic knife being reloaded.]]<br /> <br /> == Main Knife ==<br /> <br /> The knife returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is still a one-hit kill, but unlike the previous versions, seems to cause a very large fountain of blood to appear after knifing an enemy. <br /> <br /> [[Image:659px-KnifeBlackOpsMultiplayer.png|thumb|none|500px|The Main Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Prison Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Prison Knife is a melee weapon used in the mission &quot;Vorkuta&quot; in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It appears to be a jagged piece of scrap metal, similar to a 'shank' or 'shiv'. After Mason acquires another weapon, the prison knife is no longer equipped, and is only used by pressing the melee button. You can see blood on the blade, probably from stabbing the prison guard.<br /> <br /> [[Image:624px-Prisonknife.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Prison Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Karambit Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Karambit Knife is a combat knife used in the Call of Duty: Black Ops mission Executive Order. It is used to kill a Russian soldier by sticking it into the soldier's spinal cord, killing him, allowing the player and Frank Woods to take their uniform and infiltrate the launch site. Though this blade is used only by US Federal Air Marshals currently, Mason and Woods could have used it instead of a normal blade to aid in the purpose of the mission. Unlike a normal blade, it is shaped like a jungle cat's claw. <br /> <br /> [[Image:561px-Karambit_Knife.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Karambit Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Bowie Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Bowie Knife is a special melee weapon which can be bought for 3000 points in Der Riese, Kino der Toten and Five. It is larger and wider than the standard combat knife in Call of Duty: Black Ops (or any Call of Duty game for that matter). It increases Knife damage from 150 to 1150, making it a one-hit-kill for zombies from Round 1 to Round 11. It is a one-hit-kill to Hellhounds all the way up until the third hellround. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BowieKnifePolkCompetition2-1024.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Bowie Knife in Real Life.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bowie.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The Bowie Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Crossbow ==<br /> <br /> The Crossbow is a new weapon that featured in ''Call of Duty: Black Ops''. It is speculated to fulfill the role of a quiet, long range weapon. The crossbow appears in the campaign missions &quot;Executive Order&quot; and &quot;WMD&quot;, which are set in Baikonur and the Ural Mountains, respectively. In multiplayer, crossbows only fire explosive bolts; in singleplayer, they can also fire normal bolts. Crossbows in singleplayer also often have scopes attached, using anachronistic slotted accessory rails. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0205.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in idle.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0206.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in reloading.]]<br /> <br /> == Flamethrower ==<br /> <br /> A flamethrower of unknown model has been confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops as found in the &quot;GKnova6 document&quot; which can be found here: [http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr135/priceman14/doc10.jpg]<br /> The document only refers to it as &quot;Improvised Weaponry&quot; in &quot;Phase 1 Testing&quot; with most of the other information redacted. <br /> <br /> Another model appears as an underbarrel attachment. <br /> <br /> The image used by www.codblackopsblog.com<br /> [http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Black-Ops-Weapons-Flamethrower.jpg]<br /> <br /> Reference image of Flamethrowers in Call of Duty: World at War, a past Treyarch game that featured flamethrowers.

If so, which one is it that's in the game? [[User:Stickie|Stickie]] ([[User talk:Stickie|talk]]) 19:11, 10 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> : According to HKPro.com I was right - an HK21E adapted to fire from G3 mags or drums *is* an HK11E.

If you look carefully at the in-game model of the HK21, it has a magwell but it ''also'' has a belt feed opening, so it's not right for an HK11. It also doesn't have the magazine adaptor on it that an HK21 would need to use G3 mags, so it's just wrong. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:26, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::On looking at it the HK21E in this game is a bodge job. Firstly, it has the belt feed from and HK21 not an HK21E. On the original HK21 the gun had a rectangular magazine well with an open side into which was inserted either a belt feed or a flat sided mag adapter (see [http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK21-Factory-Magazine-Adapter-RARE-p233.htm here], the fuller grey part in the middle is the adapter). On an HK21E the whole thing is replaced with a G3 style well, and in this case the gun does become an HK11E as this is the only difference. However the belt feed on the HK21E looks different, protruding much further out the left side of the gun and isn't as &quot;tall&quot; as this feed system. It uses some HK21E parts though like the stock, so it is a mess. Not to mention, as Evil Tim said, it is impossible on either gun to insert a magazine if there is a belt feed. However it is ''more'' possible on a regular HK21 as that always has a magazine well of a sort that is just blocked by the belt feed, as opposed to the HK21E where the whole thing is swapped out. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:04, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Legacy zombie maps ==<br /> <br /> Should we have to include the weapons from the legacy zombie maps? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 14:26, 29 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :I can only add that the WWII-guns, used in the Zombie maps, clearly taken from '''Wolrd at War'''. --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 08:42, 9 February 2016 (EST)<br /> <br /> == [[Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops#82-PM-37|82-PM-37 mortar]] entry ==<br /> The square shape of the baseplate allows to identify the in-game weapon as BM-36, the predecessor of BM-37. The &quot;PM&quot; in the name is also incorrect because &quot;PM&quot; means &quot;polkovoy minomet&quot; (&quot;regimental mortar&quot;), and it was used for 120mm mortars while 82mm mortars were &quot;BM&quot;s (&quot;batalyonny minomet&quot; - &quot;battalion mortar&quot;). So my question: is &quot;82-PM-37&quot; the name used for this weapon in the game? If so, at least a clarification will be useful that the in-game image is of a different weapon. In case if the weapon is called in game with some generic name (like &quot;a Soviet mortar&quot;), it would be better to rename this entry. Thanks.

Those dates are the period over which it was developed, so the prototype in this form would not be available until into the 70s whilst the level it appears in is set in 1968. Secondly, I think these dates might actually be wrong, but not sure as it is incredibly hard to come by solid data for these experimental weapons. I think that although earlier versions of the XL64 were finished in the early 70s, the final version (which was used in the NATO trials) which is depicted here, the XL64E5, was not finalised until 1976 or thereabouts. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:30, 5 October 2014 (EDT)<br /> ::Uh okay, thanks for the info.

One of the buildings is a music store, some of the albums are labeled, &quot;Sounds of the '70s&quot;.

I always got the vibe with Black Ops that they intended it to be set in the 1980's, what with all the more 80's equipment, but the higher ups made them go to the Vietnam era because the Nam era is a reasonably untapped genre, like WWI or the Spanish-American War. -- [[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 22:47, 27 January 2016 (EST)<br /> ::::Don't forget this sight, it's mounted on a BAR--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 01:01, 28 January 2016 (EST)<br /> [[File:OM-BARa.jpg|thumb|600px|none|This movie came out in 1971, no idea how long this sight been around at that point.

What do you think the difference is? The gun in the game isn't a Model 933 or a 733 though, as regardless of the different design of rail, it also has a slickside upper receiver without a FA or BD. The closest match I can come up with would be a GAU-5A/A with a flash hider rather than the moderator (which was actually done) with a fictional/custom upper with a sight rail. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:37, 15 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> :: c552 is right about the Model 733/Model 933 remarks.

In video games a gun can be a whole slew of things do to a dev team's poor gun modeling skills/lack of knowledge. As evidenced by the sling that blocks the bolt release that's used in the reload animation. The main problem is that Treyarch felt the need to make it a flattop AR-15 even though they were never used or made in numbers in the 60s, why would mounting optics on a XM177 carrying handle be so bad? I agree that it seems to be a GAU-5/A with a made-up flattop upper and &quot;filled in&quot; flash hider, I also noticed it has partial magazine fencing too.

[[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 17:32, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> <br /> The AR pictured above isn't ''exactly'' an M933, it looks like someone built themselves a lookalike. It has an A1 profile barrel, older slimline handguards, and no bayonet lug. A ''true'' M933 is simply an M4A1 with an 11.5&quot; barrel, retaining the thicker barrel width, double heat shield handguards, and FSP with bayonet lug. That said, however, the Commando in this game is pure fictional franken gun, simply a way for Treyarch to include a &quot;SOPMOD&quot; AR long before the M4 was ever invented and justifying it with the weak excuse that &quot;SOG can get whatever they want&quot;.

From what I have seen it seems that the thin barrel and no bayonet lug is the most common option (which makes the most sense as this features are pretty useless on a barrel of this length).

That is also the case with the M16 when mounted with sight attachments apparently.

Ideas? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 13:17, 15 July 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> I swear that everything in this game makes me think they intended it to be set in the 1980's rather than the 1960's. The story about brain-washing and rogue Soviet soldiers feels like a cheesy Cannon Films B movie rather than a 1960's set story. The inclusion of several 80's guns over the more proper arsenal that has already been established by previous games like Vietcong seem to back that theory up. Even the Vietnam elements feel more like 1980's CIA shittery than 1960's. I have no leads on the development team, but it feels like the game was intended to be in the 1980's and was just shifted over to the 60's last minute, which could explain how almost every gun is an anachronism. --[[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 14:26, 15 July 2017 (EST)<br /> ==RPK==<br /> <br /> Is it truly modeled after an RPK-74, or is it just an original RPK with a 5.45x39mm magazine shoved in it?. The in-game model has a stamped receiver, though I don't know if this would be exclusive to the 7.62x39mm RPK or not.

In single-player, it's only available on the mission &quot;Rebirth&quot; after obtaining it from a Russian harbor worker and killing him with it.<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tomahawk in Create-a-Class.]]<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BOthrow.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A Tomahawk being thrown.]]<br /> <br /> == Ballistic Knife ==<br /> The ballistic knife is a powerful melee weapon that available only in multiplayer and zombie modes. The knife is firing blades with a spring inside the body.Even though the ballistic knife does not appear in single player,it's appearance in multiplayer could be seen as anachronistic,as the ballistic knife was not developed until the early 1980's<br /> <br /> The ballistic knife in game also has an unrealistically long range,the real ballistic knife has a maximum range of only twenty to thirty feet while the blades in game travels near infinitely in an arc. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BK-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ballistic knife being reloaded.]]<br /> <br /> == Main Knife ==<br /> <br /> The knife returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

It is used to kill a Russian soldier by sticking it into the soldier's spinal cord, killing him, allowing the player and Frank Woods to take their uniform and infiltrate the launch site. Though this blade is used only by US Federal Air Marshals currently, Mason and Woods could have used it instead of a normal blade to aid in the purpose of the mission. Unlike a normal blade, it is shaped like a jungle cat's claw. <br /> <br /> [[Image:561px-Karambit_Knife.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Karambit Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Bowie Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Bowie Knife is a special melee weapon which can be bought for 3000 points in Der Riese, Kino der Toten and Five. It is larger and wider than the standard combat knife in Call of Duty: Black Ops (or any Call of Duty game for that matter). It increases Knife damage from 150 to 1150, making it a one-hit-kill for zombies from Round 1 to Round 11. It is a one-hit-kill to Hellhounds all the way up until the third hellround. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BowieKnifePolkCompetition2-1024.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Bowie Knife in Real Life.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bowie.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The Bowie Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Crossbow ==<br /> <br /> The Crossbow is a new weapon that featured in ''Call of Duty: Black Ops''. It is speculated to fulfill the role of a quiet, long range weapon. The crossbow appears in the campaign missions &quot;Executive Order&quot; and &quot;WMD&quot;, which are set in Baikonur and the Ural Mountains, respectively. In multiplayer, crossbows only fire explosive bolts; in singleplayer, they can also fire normal bolts. Crossbows in singleplayer also often have scopes attached, using anachronistic slotted accessory rails. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0205.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in idle.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0206.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in reloading.]]<br /> <br /> == Flamethrower ==<br /> <br /> A flamethrower of unknown model has been confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops as found in the &quot;GKnova6 document&quot; which can be found here: [http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr135/priceman14/doc10.jpg]<br /> The document only refers to it as &quot;Improvised Weaponry&quot; in &quot;Phase 1 Testing&quot; with most of the other information redacted. <br /> <br /> Another model appears as an underbarrel attachment. <br /> <br /> The image used by www.codblackopsblog.com<br /> [http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Black-Ops-Weapons-Flamethrower.jpg]<br /> <br /> Reference image of Flamethrowers in Call of Duty: World at War, a past Treyarch game that featured flamethrowers.

[[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:26, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::On looking at it the HK21E in this game is a bodge job. Firstly, it has the belt feed from and HK21 not an HK21E. On the original HK21 the gun had a rectangular magazine well with an open side into which was inserted either a belt feed or a flat sided mag adapter (see [http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK21-Factory-Magazine-Adapter-RARE-p233.htm here], the fuller grey part in the middle is the adapter). On an HK21E the whole thing is replaced with a G3 style well, and in this case the gun does become an HK11E as this is the only difference. However the belt feed on the HK21E looks different, protruding much further out the left side of the gun and isn't as &quot;tall&quot; as this feed system. It uses some HK21E parts though like the stock, so it is a mess. Not to mention, as Evil Tim said, it is impossible on either gun to insert a magazine if there is a belt feed. However it is ''more'' possible on a regular HK21 as that always has a magazine well of a sort that is just blocked by the belt feed, as opposed to the HK21E where the whole thing is swapped out. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:04, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Legacy zombie maps ==<br /> <br /> Should we have to include the weapons from the legacy zombie maps? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 14:26, 29 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :I can only add that the WWII-guns, used in the Zombie maps, clearly taken from '''Wolrd at War'''. --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 08:42, 9 February 2016 (EST)<br /> <br /> == [[Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops#82-PM-37|82-PM-37 mortar]] entry ==<br /> The square shape of the baseplate allows to identify the in-game weapon as BM-36, the predecessor of BM-37.

This is the only time the SOG Knife is in use.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0159.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SOG Knife in idle. Note the tally marks.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0167.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SOG Knife been drawn.]]<br /> <br /> == Tomahawk ==<br /> The Tomahawk axe is a melee weapon that replaces the throwing knife (or tactical knife) from ''[[Modern Warfare 2]]'' in mutliplayer. In single-player, it's only available on the mission &quot;Rebirth&quot; after obtaining it from a Russian harbor worker and killing him with it.<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Tomahawk in Create-a-Class.]]<br /> [[Image:Tomahawk-BOthrow.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A Tomahawk being thrown.]]<br /> <br /> == Ballistic Knife ==<br /> The ballistic knife is a powerful melee weapon that available only in multiplayer and zombie modes. The knife is firing blades with a spring inside the body.Even though the ballistic knife does not appear in single player,it's appearance in multiplayer could be seen as anachronistic,as the ballistic knife was not developed until the early 1980's<br /> <br /> The ballistic knife in game also has an unrealistically long range,the real ballistic knife has a maximum range of only twenty to thirty feet while the blades in game travels near infinitely in an arc. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BK-BO.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ballistic knife being reloaded.]]<br /> <br /> == Main Knife ==<br /> <br /> The knife returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is still a one-hit kill, but unlike the previous versions, seems to cause a very large fountain of blood to appear after knifing an enemy. <br /> <br /> [[Image:659px-KnifeBlackOpsMultiplayer.png|thumb|none|500px|The Main Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Prison Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Prison Knife is a melee weapon used in the mission &quot;Vorkuta&quot; in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It appears to be a jagged piece of scrap metal, similar to a 'shank' or 'shiv'. After Mason acquires another weapon, the prison knife is no longer equipped, and is only used by pressing the melee button. You can see blood on the blade, probably from stabbing the prison guard.<br /> <br /> [[Image:624px-Prisonknife.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Prison Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Karambit Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Karambit Knife is a combat knife used in the Call of Duty: Black Ops mission Executive Order. It is used to kill a Russian soldier by sticking it into the soldier's spinal cord, killing him, allowing the player and Frank Woods to take their uniform and infiltrate the launch site. Though this blade is used only by US Federal Air Marshals currently, Mason and Woods could have used it instead of a normal blade to aid in the purpose of the mission. Unlike a normal blade, it is shaped like a jungle cat's claw. <br /> <br /> [[Image:561px-Karambit_Knife.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Karambit Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Bowie Knife ==<br /> <br /> The Bowie Knife is a special melee weapon which can be bought for 3000 points in Der Riese, Kino der Toten and Five. It is larger and wider than the standard combat knife in Call of Duty: Black Ops (or any Call of Duty game for that matter). It increases Knife damage from 150 to 1150, making it a one-hit-kill for zombies from Round 1 to Round 11. It is a one-hit-kill to Hellhounds all the way up until the third hellround. <br /> <br /> [[Image:BowieKnifePolkCompetition2-1024.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The Bowie Knife in Real Life.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bowie.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The Bowie Knife in-game.]]<br /> <br /> == Crossbow ==<br /> <br /> The Crossbow is a new weapon that featured in ''Call of Duty: Black Ops''. It is speculated to fulfill the role of a quiet, long range weapon. The crossbow appears in the campaign missions &quot;Executive Order&quot; and &quot;WMD&quot;, which are set in Baikonur and the Ural Mountains, respectively. In multiplayer, crossbows only fire explosive bolts; in singleplayer, they can also fire normal bolts. Crossbows in singleplayer also often have scopes attached, using anachronistic slotted accessory rails. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0205.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in idle.]]<br /> <br /> [[Image:Shot0206.jpg|thumb|none|550px|Crossbow in reloading.]]<br /> <br /> == Flamethrower ==<br /> <br /> A flamethrower of unknown model has been confirmed to be in Call of Duty: Black Ops as found in the &quot;GKnova6 document&quot; which can be found here: [http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr135/priceman14/doc10.jpg]<br /> The document only refers to it as &quot;Improvised Weaponry&quot; in &quot;Phase 1 Testing&quot; with most of the other information redacted. <br /> <br /> Another model appears as an underbarrel attachment. <br /> <br /> The image used by www.codblackopsblog.com<br /> [http://www.codblackopsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Black-Ops-Weapons-Flamethrower.jpg]<br /> <br /> Reference image of Flamethrowers in Call of Duty: World at War, a past Treyarch game that featured flamethrowers.

If so, which one is it that's in the game? [[User:Stickie|Stickie]] ([[User talk:Stickie|talk]]) 19:11, 10 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> : According to HKPro.com I was right - an HK21E adapted to fire from G3 mags or drums *is* an HK11E.

If you look carefully at the in-game model of the HK21, it has a magwell but it ''also'' has a belt feed opening, so it's not right for an HK11. It also doesn't have the magazine adaptor on it that an HK21 would need to use G3 mags, so it's just wrong. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 02:26, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::On looking at it the HK21E in this game is a bodge job. Firstly, it has the belt feed from and HK21 not an HK21E. On the original HK21 the gun had a rectangular magazine well with an open side into which was inserted either a belt feed or a flat sided mag adapter (see [http://www.hkparts.net/shop/pc/HK21-Factory-Magazine-Adapter-RARE-p233.htm here], the fuller grey part in the middle is the adapter). On an HK21E the whole thing is replaced with a G3 style well, and in this case the gun does become an HK11E as this is the only difference. However the belt feed on the HK21E looks different, protruding much further out the left side of the gun and isn't as &quot;tall&quot; as this feed system. It uses some HK21E parts though like the stock, so it is a mess. Not to mention, as Evil Tim said, it is impossible on either gun to insert a magazine if there is a belt feed. However it is ''more'' possible on a regular HK21 as that always has a magazine well of a sort that is just blocked by the belt feed, as opposed to the HK21E where the whole thing is swapped out. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:04, 11 April 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == Legacy zombie maps ==<br /> <br /> Should we have to include the weapons from the legacy zombie maps? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 14:26, 29 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :I can only add that the WWII-guns, used in the Zombie maps, clearly taken from '''Wolrd at War'''. --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 08:42, 9 February 2016 (EST)<br /> <br /> == [[Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops#82-PM-37|82-PM-37 mortar]] entry ==<br /> The square shape of the baseplate allows to identify the in-game weapon as BM-36, the predecessor of BM-37. The &quot;PM&quot; in the name is also incorrect because &quot;PM&quot; means &quot;polkovoy minomet&quot; (&quot;regimental mortar&quot;), and it was used for 120mm mortars while 82mm mortars were &quot;BM&quot;s (&quot;batalyonny minomet&quot; - &quot;battalion mortar&quot;). So my question: is &quot;82-PM-37&quot; the name used for this weapon in the game? If so, at least a clarification will be useful that the in-game image is of a different weapon. In case if the weapon is called in game with some generic name (like &quot;a Soviet mortar&quot;), it would be better to rename this entry. Thanks.

Those dates are the period over which it was developed, so the prototype in this form would not be available until into the 70s whilst the level it appears in is set in 1968. Secondly, I think these dates might actually be wrong, but not sure as it is incredibly hard to come by solid data for these experimental weapons. I think that although earlier versions of the XL64 were finished in the early 70s, the final version (which was used in the NATO trials) which is depicted here, the XL64E5, was not finalised until 1976 or thereabouts. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:30, 5 October 2014 (EDT)<br /> ::Uh okay, thanks for the info.

One of the buildings is a music store, some of the albums are labeled, &quot;Sounds of the '70s&quot;.

As for Infrared scopes and such, I think Germany made detachable scopes for the StG44 during WW2, including a prototype Infrared scope called the &quot;Vampire&quot;.

In video games a gun can be a whole slew of things do to a dev team's poor gun modeling skills/lack of knowledge. As evidenced by the sling that blocks the bolt release that's used in the reload animation. The main problem is that Treyarch felt the need to make it a flattop AR-15 even though they were never used or made in numbers in the 60s, why would mounting optics on a XM177 carrying handle be so bad? I agree that it seems to be a GAU-5/A with a made-up flattop upper and &quot;filled in&quot; flash hider, I also noticed it has partial magazine fencing too. [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] ([[User talk:Mr. Wolf|talk]]) 01:43, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> :::: There were experimental flat-top carbines back then, but as you said they were never actually used or issued. That said, I agree there's nothing wrong with actually having optics on the carry handle - indeed that was the case for the longest time. But it evidently doesn't follow their own rigidly self-imposed aesthetic for the game weapons. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 17:32, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> <br /> The AR pictured above isn't ''exactly'' an M933, it looks like someone built themselves a lookalike. It has an A1 profile barrel, older slimline handguards, and no bayonet lug. A ''true'' M933 is simply an M4A1 with an 11.5&quot; barrel, retaining the thicker barrel width, double heat shield handguards, and FSP with bayonet lug. That said, however, the Commando in this game is pure fictional franken gun, simply a way for Treyarch to include a &quot;SOPMOD&quot; AR long before the M4 was ever invented and justifying it with the weak excuse that &quot;SOG can get whatever they want&quot;. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 06:34, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> :The Colt carbines are kind of a crap-shoot in regards to what features they have, with the 933 being available with or without a bayonet lug, A1 or A2 profile barrel, and either handguard. [http://www.autoweapons.com/photos10/apr/3240m16j.jpg Here] is another 933 with no lug, an A1 barrel, slim handguards and the M4 style stock, and [http://www.autoweapons.com/photos14/sep/vk340m16a.jpg here] is one to the same spec but with the wide handguards. From what I have seen it seems that the thin barrel and no bayonet lug is the most common option (which makes the most sense as this features are pretty useless on a barrel of this length). I believe that all of these images (including the original posted above) are real Colt weapons advertised on Autoweapons. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]])<br /> So I think it could be an GAU-5/A with Flash Hider.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 10:25, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> [[File:GAU-5AA with A1 flash hider.jpg|thumb|450px|none|GAU-5A/A with A1 flash hider - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> :No, the GAU-5/A is a different gun with a 10&quot; barrel, the game gun has a longer barrel more like the 11.5&quot; barrel of the GAU-5A/A. This is the gun that you pictured above (which I have properly renamed as the image name was totally nonsensical).

So if these Iron Sight were not in the game, than the Commando would have the M16's Iron sights.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 13:32, 16 April 2016 (EDT)<br /> <br /> Someone who's not on IMFDB told me that he believes that the Commando is exactly the GAU-5A/A configuration about the USAF flash hider in place of the moderator) &quot;''and the flat-topped receiver is not fictional but what appears to be a chopped off carry handle with a bolted on rail. According to [http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/573301_History_of_flattop_uppers____.html this discussion], this was done in the late 80s and early 90s before the introduction of actual flat-topped receivers. That is also the case with the M16 when mounted with sight attachments apparently. While the article mentions the Model 656 receiver as some kind of justification for the flat-topped receiver actually that's not the case as the BO version is just a chopped off version and this is yet another anachronism''&quot;. Ideas? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 13:17, 15 July 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> I swear that everything in this game makes me think they intended it to be set in the 1980's rather than the 1960's. The story about brain-washing and rogue Soviet soldiers feels like a cheesy Cannon Films B movie rather than a 1960's set story. The inclusion of several 80's guns over the more proper arsenal that has already been established by previous games like Vietcong seem to back that theory up. Even the Vietnam elements feel more like 1980's CIA shittery than 1960's. I have no leads on the development team, but it feels like the game was intended to be in the 1980's and was just shifted over to the 60's last minute, which could explain how almost every gun is an anachronism. --[[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 14:26, 15 July 2017 (EST)<br /> ==RPK==<br /> <br /> Is it truly modeled after an RPK-74, or is it just an original RPK with a 5.45x39mm magazine shoved in it?. The in-game model has a stamped receiver, though I don't know if this would be exclusive to the 7.62x39mm RPK or not. Btw the extended mag attachment gives it the drum mag of the 7.62x39mm RPK, so I guess there should be a section for the original RPK. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 05:00, 25 May 2016 (EDT)<br /> :Well it does also have the RPK-74M handguard (in wood) and the 74M synthetic stock, which would at best make it an RPKM. Though I think it's actually because Airsoft companies use one common magwell for all RPKs so you can just stick an RPK drum in an RPK-74. They apparently tried to make a 90 round drum for the 74 series but it never worked and was never issued.

So Colt 933 can't count (Plus the optics on the M16 has a flattop, so that could be like the commando).<br /> <br /> Honestly, I don't think this is a GAU-5AA, because I don't see why is it this gun.<br /> <br /> In my theory, this might be a Fictional XM177 with A1 Flash Hider.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 02:49, 22 July 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :XM177 is just the name used for the CAR-15 in US military use in Vietnam, a &quot;fiction XM177 variant&quot; ''is'' a CAR-15 variant. <br /> :Also, it would not be remotely realistic for the CIA to be using MP40s in the 1960s, or the Soviet Union to be using PPShs in the 1960s, and the AKMS doesn't fit as a substitute for a shortened AK because it's full-length.

<br /> <br /> =Glossary=<br /> __TOC__<br /> ==Upper Receivers==<br /> ===Slickside===<br /> The earliest version of the AR-15 upper receiver which can easily be identified by its lack of forward assist and brass deflector. This receiver was used on the original M16, USAF weapons, and the SP1 civilian rifle.<br /> [[File:Upper slickside.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A1===<br /> The first variant to be fitted with a a forward assist (which has a tear-drop shaped plunger head as opposed to the round plunger used on later rifles). This is the only upper to feature a forward assist without brass deflector.<br /> [[File:Upper A1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A1 Flat Top===<br /> A unique upper receiver used only on the Model 656 Special Low Profile sniper rifle. It features an integral Weaver scope rail and lower profile folding backup rear sight.<br /> [[File:Upper A1 weaver.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A1E1===<br /> An intermediate receiver that was an A1 receiver with the addition of a brass deflector behind the ejection port. It can be distinguished from the A2 receiver by its simpler rear sight. This upper was the one that was chosen by Diemaco (now Colt Canada) for the C7 rifle and C8 carbine. It was also commonly used on the Model 723 and 733 carbines.<br /> [[File:Upper A1E1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A2===<br /> This upper was first implemented on the M16A2. It notably differs from its predecessor, the A1 upper, by the addition of a brass deflector and a more complicated range adjustable rear sight. Also replaced the A1's 'teardrop' forward assist button with a round one.<br /> [[File:Upper A2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===Flat Top===<br /> Essentially an A2 upper with the fixed carry handle replaced with a MIL-STD-1913 scope rail. It can often be seen fitted with a carry handle that is most often of the same design as the A2 upper. This is the upper that is used on the majority of current military, law enforcement and civilian rifles.<br /> [[File:Upper flat top.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A2 LMG===<br /> A unique upper receiver fitted only to the Model 750. Externally it appears as an A2 upper with the forward assist omitted (being an open bolt weapon, a forward assist would be pointless).<br /> [[File:Upper LMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===Flat Top LMG===<br /> A unique upper receiver fitted only to the Model 950. Externally it appears as a flat top upper with the forward assist omitted (being an open bolt weapon, a forward assist would be pointless).<br /> [[File:Upper LMG flat top.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===SMG===<br /> The upper receiver used on the 9x19mm submachine guns and carbines is actually a modified slickside upper (a forward assist is not necessary due to the simpler and more reliable blowback action), fitted with a distinctive semi-circular brass deflector over the rear of the ejection port (which is pinned to the receiver and removable, as opposed to the integrally forged one found on 5.56x45mm rifles) and a correspondingly shortened dust cover. The reason for this enlarged deflector is due to the fact that as the SMG is a straight blowback weapons a relatively large amount of gas blasts out of the ejection port, which would be uncomfortable for a left handed shooter if not redirected.<br /> [[File:Upper SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===Flat Top SMG===<br /> A flat top variant of the original SMG upper with the same removable brass deflector, this is the upper which is used on the current range of submachine guns and carbines.<br /> [[File:Upper SMG flat top 1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===Slickside (Sightless)===<br /> A unique upper receiver found only on the M231 firing port weapon. It is identical to the slickside upper used on the original M16 but features no rear sight, being designed to be aimed using tracer fire. It does however retain the carry handle that the rear sight is normally mounted in along with the windage direction arrows for adjusting the absent sight, due to it being made from a regular slickside forging without the final machining for the rear sight.<br /> [[File:Upper M231.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ==Lower Receivers==<br /> ===Slabside===<br /> Used only on the AR-15 prototypes and the original M16, the slabside lower can be identified by the lack of any ridges on the right side of the weapon. The push pin at the front of the lower receiver either has a flat round head, or a round head with a circular divot in the centre.<br /> [[File:Lower slabside.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Slabside lower receiver with push pin front pivot]]<br /> <br /> ===Slabside (Screw Pin)===<br /> A variant of the slabside receiver with a screw pin at the front of the receiver is used on early Sporter models up to the AR-15A2 Sporter II. This variant of the slabside lower receiver is much more common than the genuine military slabside lower, meaning it is often used as a stand in for the correct M16 lower receiver in television and movies.<br /> [[File:Lower SP slabside.jpg|thumb|400px|none| Slabside lower receiver with screw pin front pivot]]<br /> <br /> ===Partial Fence===<br /> Most notably used on the XM16E1, although also used on a number of contemporary carbines and experimental weapons, the partial fence lower features a horizontal ridge under the ejection port, a captive push pin at the front pivot, and an unfenced magazine release button. The term partial fence is a misnomer as the ridge on the side of the receiver is unrelated to the magazine release button, but is instead a housing for the detent spring which retains the new push pin. The partial fence name has only been applied retroactively in relation to the later full fence lower.<br /> [[File:Lower partial fence.jpg|thumb|400px|none|partial fence lower receiver]]<br /> <br /> ===Full Fence===<br /> The full fence lower is the standard receiver used on all AR-15s since the M16A1. It can be identified by the raised fence around the magazine release button on the right side of the weapon which is designed to lessen the chances of accidentally releasing the magazine. The design of this lower was upgraded with the adoption of the M16A2 featuring strengthening around the front and rear receiver push pins and fire selector marking on the right side of the receiver. However, due to the difficulty in identifying them from a distance and the fact that different manufacturers use slightly different designs (such as strengthening around only the front push pin or omitting the selector markings on the right side of the weapon), these have been treated as one variant for the purpose of identification. The full fence lower (both A1 and A2) is also the receiver used on Colt's 9mm SMG. For this purpose it is modified with several holes drilled in the side, which are used to pin spacers in place to hold the smaller 9mm magazine in the standard 5.56mm magazine well.<br /> [[File:Lower a1 full fence.jpg|thumb|400px|none|A1 full fence lower receiver]]<br /> [[File:Lower a2 full fence.jpg|thumb|400px|none|A2 full fence lower receiver]]<br /> [[File:Lower a2 full fence SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|A2 SMG full fence lower receiver]]<br /> <br /> ==Pistol Grips==<br /> There are two distinct mil-spec pistol grips used on AR-15 &amp; M16 series rifles; the first one, used with the original AR-15 and all variants through the M16A1, is relatively smooth and has light checkering on the sides as well as a hole in the bottom-front of the grip that acts as a sling swivel mounting point (though was rarely if ever used in this fashion).<br /> <br /> The second grip, introduced with the M16A2 and standard issue on all subsequent Colt rifles, adds a finger step between the middle and ring fingers, filled in the useless sling swivel hole at the bottom-front of the grip, has heavier checkering on the sides, and has ridging on the back for a better grip.<br /> [[File:Lower a1 full fence.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Original pistol grip on A1 lower]]<br /> [[File:Lower a2 full fence.jpg|thumb|400px|none|A2 pistol grip on A2 lower]]<br /> <br /> ==Stocks==<br /> ===Solid Fixed===<br /> Original Colt rifles had a solid stock without an internal storage compartment and one piece butt pad. This stock can also be identified by hinged rear sling loop. This stock was used on the original M16 and early models of the M16A1 until 1971 when it was replaced by the A1 type stock.<br /> [[File:Stock M16.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A1 Fixed===<br /> An improved stock designed for the M16A1, this introduced an internal storage compartment into the stock accessed by a textured trapdoor in the butt pad. The original hinged rear sling loop was also replaced by a simpler and more robust fixed loop. Despite being commonly known as the A1 stock it was not designed until 1971 (the M16A1 was released in 1967) so early model M16A1s retained the earlier solid stock with hinged sling loop.<br /> [[File:Stock M16A1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A2 Fixed===<br /> The M16A2 used a new stock that was slightly longer (16mm, nearly indistinguishable to the regular observer) and made from a much stronger material. The easiest way to differentiate this stock from that found on the M16A1 is the squarer edges on the butt pad, and the fact that the butt pad is chequered over its entire surface (as opposed to the A1 stock which was only textured on the trapdoor cover).<br /> [[File:Stock M16A2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===1st Generation Collapsible===<br /> This stock resembles a miniature fixed stock, but can be extended by operating a lever inside the butt pad. The only weapon it was used on was the Model 607 Car-15 SMG, and was abandoned for a simpler, cheaper and more robust design for all future carbines.<br /> [[File:Stock collapsible 1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===2nd Generation Collapsible===<br /> A stock made from aluminum with a black polymer coating was used on the majority of carbines from the Vietnam war until 1985. Position adjustment is accomplished by depressing a lever on the underside of the stock, releasing it once the stock is adjusted to the desired length. It also has two cutouts ahead of the butt plate above and below the buffer tube to allow a sling to be wrapped around the stock in lieu of a standard sling loop.<br /> [[File:Stock collapsible 2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===3rd Generation Collapsible===<br /> This stock was introduced in 1985 and is commonly known as the &quot;fiberlite stock&quot;. The shape is similar to the early coated aluminum stock but was made from plastic, and can be differentiated by its matte finish (the coated aluminum stocks had a shiny black finish) and the two vertical strengthening ribs on each side. Early models were only two position stocks, but later models were four position. This stock fitted with a thick rubber butt pad is the model which is fitted to Diemaco/Colt Canada weapons, and a version of this modified to be a six position stock is used by the Israeli Defence Force on their carbines.<br /> [[File:Stock collapsible 3.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===4th Generation Collapsible===<br /> Often called the &quot;M4 stock&quot; or &quot;6 position&quot; stock, this was developed as a strengthened variant for use on the M4/M4A1 carbines. It features a number of ridges and recesses on the sides of the stock, a sloped butt plate and the same bottom mounted sling loop found on M16A1/A2 fixed stocks.<br /> [[File:Stock collapsible 4.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===Wire Collapsible===<br /> Developed for emergency dismounted use on the M231 firing port weapon, this wire stock is similar to the one found on the [[M3 / M3A1 &quot;Grease Gun&quot;]]. Although designed for the M231, it can be fitted to any AR-15 pattern rifle.<br /> [[File:Stock M231.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ==Flash Hiders==<br /> ===Duckbill===<br /> The original AR-15 flash hider, referred to as the “Duckbill”, was only seen on early prototypes. It was quickly abandoned due to the tendency of the front prongs to break off.<br /> [[File:Muzzle duckbill 1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===3 Prong===<br /> Also known as the &quot;Improved 3 Prong&quot; to differentiate it from the earlier &quot;Duckbill&quot; used on the original prototypes, this flash hider is a strengthened version with more metal added to the prongs. This was used on the majority of Colt weapons prior to the M16A1.<br /> [[File:Muzzle duckbill 2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A1===<br /> The iconic M16 flash hider often referred to as the “Birdcage”, and was on a closed design to address problems encountered with the duckbill type flash hiders snagging on vegetation. Introduced on the M16A1, it has 6 ports equally distributed around the flash hider.<br /> [[File:Muzzle A1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===A2===<br /> First developed for the M16A2, this flash hider is similar in appearance to the original birdcage except it features five ports spread only over the top half of the flash hider. Although often described as a compensator this was not the intended purpose of the modification, but was instead designed to reduce the amount of material that would be kicked up by the muzzle blast when firing in the prone position.<br /> [[File:Muzzle A2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===3.5&quot; Moderator===<br /> Resembling a small sound suppressor, the 3.5” moderator was designed for the Model 607 (which originally used a duckbill flash hider) in an attempt to mitigate the large muzzle flash and blast created when using such a short barrel. It featured a number of internal baffles to reduce not only the flash but also the sound report, meaning it is classed as a suppressor making civilian use more legally problematic (due to this the majority of moderators seen in film and television are replicas omitting the internal baffles and chambers). Although it succeeded in reducing the flash somewhat it led to excessive fouling in the chamber, along with accuracy problems using tracers.<br /> [[File:Muzzle 3.5 moderator.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ===4.25&quot; Moderator===<br /> An improved version of the 3.5” moderator, this features a slotted expansion chamber at the end further reducing the weapon report. When used on the longer barrelled carbines such as the Model 629 or Model 630, a flared piece of metal known as a &quot;grenade ring&quot; was normally fitted behind the moderator in place of the lock washer. This had a hollow on the rear face into which the front mount for the [[XM148 grenade launcher]] fitted. After the XM148 project was abandoned in favour of the [[M203]], it was discovered that the M203 could coincidentally be mounted to the Model 629/630 by bracing the front mount against the rear of the expansion chamber of the moderator itself, making the grenade ring superfluous and was hence occasionally removed and replaced with a conventional lock washer. This did require some modification to the front mount of the M203 however, and the barrel of the grenade launcher pointed slightly downwards relative to the barrel of the carbine.<br /> [[File:Muzzle 4.5 moderator early.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Early 4.25&quot; moderator without &quot;grenade ring&quot;]]<br /> [[File:Muzzle 4.5 moderator.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Later model 4.25&quot; moderator with &quot;grenade ring&quot;]]<br /> <br /> ===Target Crown===<br /> During the Assault Weapons Ban Colt produced a line of weapons known as &quot;Match Target&quot; rifles which did not feature a threaded barrel for a flash hider, instead having the barrel end with a plain target crown.<br /> [[File:Muzzle match.jpg|thumb|400px|none|]]<br /> <br /> ==Bayonet Lug==<br /> The bayonet lug on AR-15 rifles is a small protrusion under the front of the gas block. This is present on the majority of Colt AR-15 military rifles, but is omitted from carbines without barrels long enough support a bayonet. It is also absent from a number of civilian rifles, such as the Match Target rifles, to comply with various laws and regulations.<br /> [[Category:General Information]]<br /> [[File:Bayonet yes.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Front sight block with bayonet lug]]<br /> [[File:Bayonet no.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Front sight block without bayonet lug]]</div>

After being phased out from active duty, the military owned weapons were issued to National guard units (and later bequeathed to Federal and local law enforcement agencies). Movie Armorers could acquire Law Enforcement Sales models of the M16, as Class III transferable weapons or built as Class III manufacturers. However, an easier way was for commercially sold semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles to be converted to full auto fire in the 1970s and 1980s and these were in movie armories for years.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Film Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Seven Days in May]]'' || [[Andrew Duggan]] || COL William 'Mutt' Henderson || Possibly the first depiction of an M16 in a Hollywood film || 1964<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Ice Station Zebra]]'' || [[Tony Bill]] || 1Lt.

This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]<br /> <br /> The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 (SP1) was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle. Before 1968, this was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''. The real XM16E1 has a partial magazine fence on its lower receiver, whereas the M16A1 has a full raised rib around the magazine release button). <br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Balibo]] || || FRETELIN Guerillas || || 2009<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[Tropic Thunder]] || [[Jay Baruchel]] || Kevin Sandusky || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | Mocked up from an M16A1 || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2008<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brandon T.

Modifications were extensive, including new, faster rifling (1 twist every 7 inches, replacing the M16A1's 1:12 twist rate) to permit the use of the heavier SS109 round, a heavier barrel to resist bending and reduce overheating in sustained fire, an adjustable rear sight to allow sighting-in for ranges between 300 and 800 metres to take full advantage of the SS109's ballistic characteristics as well as windage adjustments without the use of special tools or a cartridge. The buttstock was lengthened 5⁄8 in (15.9 mm). The handguards were changed from the vertically split triangular pattern to the horizontally split round version found on carbines. A notch for the middle finger was added to the pistol grip. The flash hider was closed at the bottom to prevent dirt being kicked up when fired prone. A brass deflector was added to the upper receiver to prevent spent brass hitting left-handed shooters. The A1's full auto setting was dropped and replaced with a three round burst setting to prevent &quot;spray and pray&quot; usage by inexperienced users. The forward assist was changed from teardrop to round mainly as a cost-saving measure.<br /> <br /> In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the US military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie &quot;M16A2&quot; rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the &quot;starburst&quot; of the flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie &quot;M16A2s&quot; fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as &quot;M16A3s&quot; when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''<br /> <br /> ''Also note that some American movies feature [[M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.''<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Colt M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm.

NOTE: This is the standard USMC style setup.]]<br /> The A4 is a 3-round burst rifle like the A2. The original upper receiver with a fixed carry handle was replaced with one that has a removable handle and a builtin full-length Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other ancillary devices. As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not 3-round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a 3-round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;350&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Yamakasi]]'' || || Special Forces || || 2001<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Warriors (Guerreros)]]'' || || Serbian and Albanian soldiers || with a red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Home of the Brave]]'' || || SFC Duhon || Fitted with EOTech Holographic sight || 2006<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Incredible Hulk, The (2008)|The Incredible Hulk (2008)]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Day the Earth Stood Still, The (2008)|The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)]]'' || || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | ''[[Peranmai]]'' || [[Jeyam Ravi]]|| Dhuruvan || || rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | 2009<br /> |-<br /> | [[Vasundhara Kashyap]] || Kalpana ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Dhansika]] || Jennifer ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Varsha Ashwathi]] || Thulasi ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Liyashree]] || Susheela ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Roland Kickinger]] || Anderson ||<br /> |-<br /> | || Mercenary ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' || Various || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon ACOG scopes, SureFire Universal WeaponLights, and KAC RIS foregrips || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Hurt Locker]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Possibly airsoft replicas; fitted with various attachments || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Far Cry (2008)]]'' || || Mercenary || Possibly Armalite M15A4; fitted with Aimpoint M68 CCO || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Legion]]'' || [[Paul Bettany]] || Michael || Fitted with carry handle and [[M203 grenade launcher]] || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Survival of the Dead]]'' || [[Alan Van Sprang]] || SGT Crocket || || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2010<br /> |-<br /> | [[Athena Karkanis]] || Tomboy ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Red (2010)]]'' || [[Helen Mirren]] || Victoria || Fitted with CAA Sharp Shooting Stock, HBAR flat top upper, sniping scope, A2 handguards, GemTech suppressor, and Harris Bipod || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;6&quot; | ''[[Battle: Los Angeles]]'' || [[Ne-Yo]] || Cpl.

The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices. <br /> <br /> ''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as &quot;budget&quot; alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the &quot;Plinker Plus 20&quot;). Most of the &quot;C7&quot; rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hyena Road]]'' || [[Paul Gross]] || Pete Mitchell || C7A2 || 2015<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Walking Tall (2004)]]'' || || Ex-Deputy || With Beta-C drum magazine || 2004<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Operation Dumbo Drop]]'' || || Green Berets,US Soldiers,ARVN || Mocked up as M16A1 || 1995<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;175&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Show Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;275&quot;|'''Note / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Air Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | || || ''[[Continuum - Season 2]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / Episode 2 || 2013<br /> |-<br /> | [[Luvia Petersen]] || Jasmine Garza || ''[[Continuum - Season 1]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / &quot;Fast Times&quot; (Episode 2) || 2012<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Canadian Forces soldiers || ''[[Combat Hospital]]'' || C7A1 and C7A2, with ELCAN scopes and RIS foregrips || 2011-???<br /> |-<br /> | [[James McGowan]] || Major Mike Kessler || ''[[The Border (TV Series)]]'' || With ELCAN sight / &quot;Blowback&quot; || 2008-2010<br /> |-<br /> | Various || US Army soldiers || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Repblican Guard Special Forces || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Cherokee rebels || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Survivalists/other characters || ''[[Millennium]]'' || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> | Various || USA.F. personnel || ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> | Various || US military personnel/various bad guys || ''[[Viper (TV Series)]]'' || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | || || ''[[Viper]]'' || With 20-round magazine and [[Cobray 37mm Launcher#Cobray CM203 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 launcher]] / &quot;Diamond in the Rough&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Villains || ''[[Viper]]'' || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | || Armored van robber || ''[[Sentinel, The (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203]] / &quot;Love and Guns&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | [[Richard Burgi]] || Det.

The weapon is only capable of being fired in fully automatic from an open bolt (hence no need for a forward assist), and features a bipod, vertical grip and modified buffer tube to aid in automatic fire. The weapon was a joint venture between Colt and Diemaco, and is thus the only Canadian variant to feature the A2 rear sights as standard. The original C7 LSW was designed in the 80s and featured a barrel mounted bipod and fixed sights. The weapon was updated to the C7A1 LSW in the 90's, which featured a flattop receiver and a handguard mounted bipod. These two weapons were sold by Colt as the Model 750 and Model 950 respectively and were known as either the &quot;Light Machine Gun&quot; or &quot;Automatic Rifle&quot;, however all weapons are actually made by Diemaco/Colt Canada as noted by the maple leaf stamped on the magazine well.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Python]]'' || || Soldier || || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Purge]]'' || || Purger || || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Mods'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;100&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Warface]]''||M16A2 LMG||||C7A1/Model 950, forward sight and vertical grip removed||2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> == M16 with M203 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> ''NOTE: In some movies and TV shows, the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] is used to impersonate the M203.

The flash hider is a smaller diameter copy of the XM-177 and has no sound suppression qualities and is permanently welded onto the barrel to make it legal length for over the counter gun store sales.]]<br /> <br /> During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. In 1966 the '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10&quot; barrel (initially with a 3-prong flash hider then a 3.5&quot; moderator) and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s, in addition it had a complicated extending triangular stock and a shortened triangular handguard. In the same year, due to issues with the Model 607, the '''Colt Model 609''' was developed and designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded takedown pin assembly, a simpler two-position telescoping tubular aluminum stock, reinforced two-piece round handguards, and an improved 4.25&quot; moderator. This version was also where they started stamping the receivers &quot;Commando&quot;, thus known as the &quot;Colt Commando&quot; back in the States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version without a forward assist built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, the '''GAU-5/A''' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). In 1967, the '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10&quot; to 11.5&quot;, a grenade ring was added to the 4.25&quot; moderator, and was given a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world. <br /> <br /> The GAU-5/A was adopted by the US Air Force during the Vietnam War and is still used by the USAF. The weapon's designation changed in 1989 when it was decided that the GAU- designation should only apply to aircraft guns, and infantry guns should be classified as GUU (guns, miscellaneous personal equipment) with a /P (personal) end. Air Force Colt rifles (models 610 (GAU-5A), 629 (GAU-5A/B), 630 or 649 (GAU-5A/A, it is unclear which) and some USAF M16s) were fitted with 14.5 inch 1/7 twist barrels (some had already been given 14.5 inch 1/12 twist barrels and may or may not have been designated &quot;GAU-5/P&quot;) with their original markings erased and all were marked as &quot;GUU-5/P.&quot; All have the national stock number 1005-01-042-9820 regardless of their actual configuration.<br /> <br /> The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 were adopted by the US Army and are no longer used.<br /> <br /> ''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the moderator of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies.''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers.''<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Final Option]]'' || [[Ziggy Byfield]] || Trooper Baker || || 1982<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' || [[Randall &quot;Tex&quot; Cobb]] || Sailor || || 1983<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Coordinates of Death (Koordinaty smerti)]]'' || Various actors || US Army soldiers || XM177E2, with original flash suppressor replaced by &quot;birdcage&quot; flash hider || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=3 | ''[[Spies Like Us]]'' || [[Sam Raimi]] || Security Guard || || rowspan=3 | 1985<br /> |-<br /> | [[Joel Coen]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Martin Brest]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brazil]] || || MOI SWAT officers || || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Park is Mine, The|The Park is Mine]]'' || [[Yaphet Kotto]] || NYPD ESU Cpt.

This configuration was available from 1987, and used the barrel from the Colt Model 720 (a prototype rifle which was part of the XM4 program).]]<br /> [[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 727 &quot;M16A2 Carbine&quot; - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 &quot;M16A2 Commando/M4 Commando&quot; - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]<br /> <br /> After 1973 Colt made several lightweight versions of the M16 and Commando rifles for use with Police and Security forces, as well as civilian sales worldwide. It had the features of the XM177 carbine series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5&quot; or a 16&quot; lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign. ''It was NOT correct for Vietnam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the &quot;M16 Shorty&quot; by some writers and shooters, the 16&quot; barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an &quot;M&quot; or &quot;XM&quot; designation. It was used in the US by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above). <br /> <br /> In 1985 Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5&quot; barreled version of the Model 653, intended for tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.<br /> <br /> ''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie.

The FPW was designed to allow transported soldiers to protect the vulnerable flanks and rear of the IFV while still under armor. The weapon is only capable of full-auto fire with no semi-auto mode. Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;400&quot;|'''Variant and Notes'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |[[Project Reality]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2005<br /> |-<br /> |[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2008<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==AR-15 Carbine==<br /> The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the US in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.<br /> Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.<br /> The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AR15earliervariant.jpg|thumb|right|500px|AR-15 Carbine with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> <br /> ===Films===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Planet Terror]] || [[Freddy Rodriguez]] || El Wray || night-vision scope || 2007<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hitcher, The (2007)|The Hitcher]]'' ||[[Sean Bean]] ||John Ryder || || 2007<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==M4/M4A1 Carbine==<br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm.

It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them on the battlefield are modified with railed handguards (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical foregrip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has 3-round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full-auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the US Army in 1994 had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the '''Model 777'''; however, soon after, the military started buying the '''Model 920''', which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns &quot;M4s&quot;. Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, more recently produced M4A1s also have a thicker barrel profile under the handguards along with a heavier buffer to slow the rate of fire, meaning that the weapon is more controllable during fully automatic firing and is less prone to overheating.<br /> <br /> What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16&quot; Carbine '''&quot;The M4&quot;'''. Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the US Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' however, it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt cannot copyright the term. <br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;450&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Air Force One]] || [[Gary Oldman]] || Ivan Korshunov || Fitted with C-More Sight, first film to feature the M4A1 || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 1997<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elya Baskin]] || Andrei Kolchak || Fitted with C-More sight<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Soldier]] || || Child recruits || Fitted with C-More Sights and RIS foregrips || 1998<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Cell]] || || FBI HRT members || Fitted with tactical light || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Joint Security Area]] || || South Korean soldiers || Fitted with C-More sights || 2000<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; |''[[Black Hawk Down]] || [[Eric Bana]] || SFC Norm &quot;Hoot&quot; Gibson || Rubber prop M4 fitted with tactical flashlight and paint with desert camo, technically an anachronistic for the time period of the film || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2001<br /> |-<br /> | || Delta operator || Rubber prop<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[2009: Lost Memories]] || || JBI SWAT officers || Fitted with scope, rails, forward handgrips, tactical light and laser aiming devices || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Steal]] || || SWAT officers || || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Sum of All Fears]] || || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon RX01 red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[XXX|xXx]] || [[Marton Csokas]] || Yorgi || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Jan Pavel Filipensky]] || Viktor || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and RIS foregrip<br /> |-<br /> | || NSA commandos || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope and Surefire M500AB forend weaponlight<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever]] || [[Antonio Banderas]] || FBI agent Jeremiah Ecks || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | One of the first films to feature the M4's newer 6-position (&quot;LE&quot;) collapsible stock || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Lucy Liu]] || Agent Sever<br /> |-<br /> | [[Gregg Henry]] || Robert Gant<br /> |-<br /> | || DIA agents<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Tears of the Sun]] || [[Bruce Willis]] || LT A.K.

The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Bushmaster XM-15 Rifle Series==<br /> [[Image:Bushmaster ar15 carbine.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The Bushmaster HBAR Carbine - listed in the Bushmaster Sales catalog as &quot;Bushmaster 16&quot;

Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the US Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]<br /> Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the US Army had a &quot;rubber duck&quot;, i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain). There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant (listed in the catalog as the '''CAR-15'''), which is basically the same as above but with a non-retractable stock for imitation purposes. The MGC Replica is most likely the most used M16 replica seen in film and television production.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;400&quot;|'''Notes'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Raid on Entebbe]]'' || || Izraeli commando, Ugandan soldiers || || 1976<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' || || British/Russian/US Navy Sailors during gun battle on the ''Liparus'' || || 1977<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' || || || mounted on the PBR boat, shot up by tracer rounds || 1979<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Moonraker]]'' || Various || Drake launch base guards || || 1979<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Private Benjamin]]'' || [[Goldie Hawn]] || Pvt.

Note the sharply angled three prong flash hider and the forward assist, which differentiate it from the AP15.]]<br /> Made in Italy and imported by Mitchell Arms (during the 1970s and early 1980s), these M16 clones were chambered for .22 LR and looked very similar to the M16 or M16A1 rifles. The dummy &quot;20 round magazine&quot; was a solid part of the lower receiver. A small .22LR magazine was inserted into the bottom of the dummy magazine. They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the US with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct. <br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Cassandra Crossing, The|The Cassandra Crossing]] || || US Army soldiers || AP-74 || 1976<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=2|''[[Dawn of the Dead (1978)|Dawn of the Dead]] || [[Ken Foree]] || Peter Washington||rowspan=2| AP-74 || rowspan=2|1978<br /> |-<br /> | [[Scott H.

It is most easily distinguished from a genuine AR-15 by the distinctive front sight block which has a gap between it and the handguard. The rifle feeds from either a 5 round pellet clip (which must be manually indexed with each shot) or from an integral gravity fed 18 round BB magazine (which is topped up from an integral 350 round hopper). To charge the rifle for each shot it must be &quot;pumped&quot; between 4 and 10 times depending on the power required and this is done by rotating the handguard downwards. You must then manually cock the bolt to chamber the pellet/BB (after indexing the clip to the correct position if pellets are being used) before being able to fire.<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Note / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;100&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | [[The Walking Dead - Season 3]] || || Woodbury Guard || &quot;Home&quot; (S3E10) || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR Clear=All&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Crosman Air 17==<br /> [[File:Crosman Air 17.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Crosman Air 17 - .177 pellets/BBs]]<br /> The '''Crosman Air 17''' is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M16 rifle.

After being phased out from active duty, the military owned weapons were issued to National guard units (and later bequeathed to Federal and local law enforcement agencies). Movie Armorers could acquire Law Enforcement Sales models of the M16, as Class III transferable weapons or built as Class III manufacturers. However, an easier way was for commercially sold semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles to be converted to full auto fire in the 1970s and 1980s and these were in movie armories for years.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Film Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Seven Days in May]]'' || [[Andrew Duggan]] || COL William 'Mutt' Henderson || Possibly the first depiction of an M16 in a Hollywood film || 1964<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Ice Station Zebra]]'' || [[Tony Bill]] || 1Lt.

This example is the screen-used rifle used by [[Mel Gibson]] in ''[[We Were Soldiers]]''.]]<br /> <br /> The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, including the forward assist, the most visually obvious difference. The Army requested this feature, but the Air Force believed it had no benefit and only increased the weapon's per-unit cost. Consequently, the M16 (SP1) was the version adopted by the Air Force, while the Army adopted the slightly more expensive XM16E1. After the M16A1 was introduced in 1967, both services transitioned to this rifle. Before 1968, this was the most common version of the M16 rifle platform. '''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles'''. The real XM16E1 has a partial magazine fence on its lower receiver, whereas the M16A1 has a full raised rib around the magazine release button). <br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Balibo]] || || FRETELIN Guerillas || || 2009<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[Tropic Thunder]] || [[Jay Baruchel]] || Kevin Sandusky || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | Mocked up from an M16A1 || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2008<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brandon T.

Modifications were extensive, including new, faster rifling (1 twist every 7 inches, replacing the M16A1's 1:12 twist rate) to permit the use of the heavier SS109 round, a heavier barrel to resist bending and reduce overheating in sustained fire, an adjustable rear sight to allow sighting-in for ranges between 300 and 800 metres to take full advantage of the SS109's ballistic characteristics as well as windage adjustments without the use of special tools or a cartridge. The buttstock was lengthened 5⁄8 in (15.9 mm). The handguards were changed from the vertically split triangular pattern to the horizontally split round version found on carbines. A notch for the middle finger was added to the pistol grip. The flash hider was closed at the bottom to prevent dirt being kicked up when fired prone. A brass deflector was added to the upper receiver to prevent spent brass hitting left-handed shooters. The A1's full auto setting was dropped and replaced with a three round burst setting to prevent &quot;spray and pray&quot; usage by inexperienced users. The forward assist was changed from teardrop to round mainly as a cost-saving measure.<br /> <br /> In contrast to the real world M16A2 rifle adopted by the US military in the early 1980s, most of the A2s seen in movies are A2 'kits' built on A1 full auto lower receivers (or converted A2 style receivers). Most movie &quot;M16A2&quot; rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since Cinematographers want the &quot;starburst&quot; of the flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider). In the real world, the fully automatic version of the M16A2 is known as the '''M16A3''', however, '''because nearly all movie &quot;M16A2s&quot; fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as &quot;M16A3s&quot; when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''<br /> <br /> ''Also note that some American movies feature [[M16A1]] rifles fitted with M16A2-style handguards, such as ''[[Heat]]'' and ''[[Die Hard 2]]''. An example of such a rifle can be seen in the M16A1 entry above. When identifying M16 variants, please look at the '''receiver''' of the rifle in question, not just its handguards, to determine whether it is an A1 or an A2.''<br /> <br /> [[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Colt M16A2 Rifle - 5.56x45mm.

NOTE: This is the standard USMC style setup.]]<br /> The A4 is a 3-round burst rifle like the A2. The original upper receiver with a fixed carry handle was replaced with one that has a removable handle and a builtin full-length Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other ancillary devices. As is the case with the A2 rifle, all movie/TV appearances of the 'flat top' M16 are full auto, not 3-round burst, since no director wants to see only three rounds fire at a time. So these are, again, A4 uppers built on full auto lower receivers. Despite the fact that the real world A4 is a 3-round burst rifle, IMFDB will still refer to the movie incarnations as A4s, since that is the rifle they are supposed to represent on film.<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;350&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Yamakasi]]'' || || Special Forces || || 2001<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Warriors (Guerreros)]]'' || || Serbian and Albanian soldiers || with a red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Home of the Brave]]'' || || SFC Duhon || Fitted with EOTech Holographic sight || 2006<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Incredible Hulk, The (2008)|The Incredible Hulk (2008)]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Day the Earth Stood Still, The (2008)|The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)]]'' || || US Army soldiers || Fitted with carry handles and A2 handguards || 2008<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | ''[[Peranmai]]'' || [[Jeyam Ravi]]|| Dhuruvan || || rowspan=&quot;7&quot; | 2009<br /> |-<br /> | [[Vasundhara Kashyap]] || Kalpana ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Dhansika]] || Jennifer ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Varsha Ashwathi]] || Thulasi ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Liyashree]] || Susheela ||<br /> |-<br /> | [[Roland Kickinger]] || Anderson ||<br /> |-<br /> | || Mercenary ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' || Various || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon ACOG scopes, SureFire Universal WeaponLights, and KAC RIS foregrips || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Hurt Locker]]'' || Various || US Army soldiers || Possibly airsoft replicas; fitted with various attachments || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Far Cry (2008)]]'' || || Mercenary || Possibly Armalite M15A4; fitted with Aimpoint M68 CCO || 2009<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Legion]]'' || [[Paul Bettany]] || Michael || Fitted with carry handle and [[M203 grenade launcher]] || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Survival of the Dead]]'' || [[Alan Van Sprang]] || SGT Crocket || || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2010<br /> |-<br /> | [[Athena Karkanis]] || Tomboy ||<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Red (2010)]]'' || [[Helen Mirren]] || Victoria || Fitted with CAA Sharp Shooting Stock, HBAR flat top upper, sniping scope, A2 handguards, GemTech suppressor, and Harris Bipod || 2010<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;6&quot; | ''[[Battle: Los Angeles]]'' || [[Ne-Yo]] || Cpl.

The original C7 was gradually replaced by the C7A1 in Canadian service during the mid 1990s, eliminating the carrying handle in favor of a Weaver rail system and a 3.5x ELCAN optical sight. The C7A2 is a mid-life upgrade of the C7A1 that adds a 4-position M4-style stock, a new handguard and pistol grip in OD green, and a Triad rail system that allows for the mounting of additional accessories such as RIS foregrips or AN/PEQ-2 laser illumination devices. <br /> <br /> ''NOTE: Diemaco (currently Colt Canada) does not permit sale of their weapons to civilians (including film armorers), so C7s in films is near impossible to see. However, several AR-15 manufacturers built identically-configured rifles with the same receiver style, which were usually marketed as &quot;budget&quot; alternatives to their [[M16A2]] clones. Colt manufactured the Model 715, while Olympic Arms manufactured its own version, the K4B (which is currently sold as the &quot;Plinker Plus 20&quot;). Most of the &quot;C7&quot; rifles appearing in movies and TV shows are the older-model (pre-1994) Olympic Arms K4B rifles; these guns are evidently preferred by the armorers in Vancouver, British Columbia and have been featured on TV shows such as ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Viper]]''. If the movie or TV show you are watching was filmed in British Columbia, chances are that you're seeing a converted Olympic Arms K4B, and not a genuine C7.''<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hyena Road]]'' || [[Paul Gross]] || Pete Mitchell || C7A2 || 2015<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Walking Tall (2004)]]'' || || Ex-Deputy || With Beta-C drum magazine || 2004<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Operation Dumbo Drop]]'' || || Green Berets,US Soldiers,ARVN || Mocked up as M16A1 || 1995<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;175&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Show Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;275&quot;|'''Note / Episode'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Air Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | || || ''[[Continuum - Season 2]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / Episode 2 || 2013<br /> |-<br /> | [[Luvia Petersen]] || Jasmine Garza || ''[[Continuum - Season 1]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] / &quot;Fast Times&quot; (Episode 2) || 2012<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Canadian Forces soldiers || ''[[Combat Hospital]]'' || C7A1 and C7A2, with ELCAN scopes and RIS foregrips || 2011-???<br /> |-<br /> | [[James McGowan]] || Major Mike Kessler || ''[[The Border (TV Series)]]'' || With ELCAN sight / &quot;Blowback&quot; || 2008-2010<br /> |-<br /> | Various || US Army soldiers || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Repblican Guard Special Forces || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Cherokee rebels || ''[[Harsh Realm]]'' || || 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Survivalists/other characters || ''[[Millennium]]'' || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> | Various || USA.F. personnel || ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' || || 1997 - 2007<br /> |-<br /> | Various || US military personnel/various bad guys || ''[[Viper (TV Series)]]'' || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | || || ''[[Viper]]'' || With 20-round magazine and [[Cobray 37mm Launcher#Cobray CM203 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203 launcher]] / &quot;Diamond in the Rough&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | Various || Villains || ''[[Viper]]'' || || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | || Armored van robber || ''[[Sentinel, The (TV series)|The Sentinel]]'' || with [[Cobray 37mm Launcher|Cobray CM203]] / &quot;Love and Guns&quot; || 1996 - 1999<br /> |-<br /> | [[Richard Burgi]] || Det.

The weapon is only capable of being fired in fully automatic from an open bolt (hence no need for a forward assist), and features a bipod, vertical grip and modified buffer tube to aid in automatic fire. The weapon was a joint venture between Colt and Diemaco, and is thus the only Canadian variant to feature the A2 rear sights as standard. The original C7 LSW was designed in the 80s and featured a barrel mounted bipod and fixed sights. The weapon was updated to the C7A1 LSW in the 90's, which featured a flattop receiver and a handguard mounted bipod. These two weapons were sold by Colt as the Model 750 and Model 950 respectively and were known as either the &quot;Light Machine Gun&quot; or &quot;Automatic Rifle&quot;, however all weapons are actually made by Diemaco/Colt Canada as noted by the maple leaf stamped on the magazine well.<br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Python]]'' || || Soldier || || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Purge]]'' || || Purger || || 2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Mods'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Notation'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;100&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |''[[Warface]]''||M16A2 LMG||||C7A1/Model 950, forward sight and vertical grip removed||2013<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> &lt;BR clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> == M16 with M203 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> ''NOTE: In some movies and TV shows, the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] is used to impersonate the M203.

This is the USAF version and was only used by them. This is NOT the E1 version, which was used almost exclusively by the Army. Like all Air Force GAU-designated carbines, the GAU-5/A was folded into the GUU-5/P designation when it was decided to make the GAU- prefix specific to aircraft cannons: any modern example would have a 14.5 inch 1/7 twist barrel.]]<br /> [[Image:ColtM177E2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|'''XM177E2 Carbine''' aka Colt Model 629 - 5.56x45mm.

This is strictly a semiautomatic civilian copy of the XM177 style of rifles. The flash hider is a smaller diameter copy of the XM-177 and has no sound suppression qualities and is permanently welded onto the barrel to make it legal length for over the counter gun store sales.]]<br /> <br /> During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded. In 1966 the '''Colt Model 607''' (a line of carbines that would eventually be called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a 10&quot; barrel (initially with a 3-prong flash hider then a 3.5&quot; moderator) and a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s, in addition it had a complicated extending triangular stock and a shortened triangular handguard. In the same year, due to issues with the Model 607, the '''Colt Model 609''' was developed and designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, upgraded takedown pin assembly, a simpler two-position telescoping tubular aluminum stock, reinforced two-piece round handguards, and an improved 4.25&quot; moderator. This version was also where they started stamping the receivers &quot;Commando&quot;, thus known as the &quot;Colt Commando&quot; back in the States. The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version without a forward assist built for the USAF security forces, and was called the '''XM177 GAU-5/A''' or when formally adopted by the US Air Force, the '''GAU-5/A''' (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' since the USAF used the carbine until recently). In 1967, the '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10&quot; to 11.5&quot;, a grenade ring was added to the 4.25&quot; moderator, and was given a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world. <br /> <br /> The GAU-5/A was adopted by the US Air Force during the Vietnam War and is still used by the USAF. The weapon's designation changed in 1989 when it was decided that the GAU- designation should only apply to aircraft guns, and infantry guns should be classified as GUU (guns, miscellaneous personal equipment) with a /P (personal) end. Air Force Colt rifles (models 610 (GAU-5A), 629 (GAU-5A/B), 630 or 649 (GAU-5A/A, it is unclear which) and some USAF M16s) were fitted with 14.5 inch 1/7 twist barrels (some had already been given 14.5 inch 1/12 twist barrels and may or may not have been designated &quot;GAU-5/P&quot;) with their original markings erased and all were marked as &quot;GUU-5/P.&quot; All have the national stock number 1005-01-042-9820 regardless of their actual configuration.<br /> <br /> The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 were adopted by the US Army and are no longer used.<br /> <br /> ''Movie Armorer's note: Since the ATF viewed the moderator of the XM177 as a 'silencer' due to the sound baffles within the item, it was as strictly controlled as any other silencer. Also the interior design of the flash hider / sound suppressor of the XM177 made it difficult to adapt to fire movie blanks. '''Thus there are virtually NO real XM177s used in movies.''' Most of the versions seen in films are modified commercial SP1 Carbines/M16 shorties with 'fake' XM177 flash hiders slipped over or welded to the end of the barrel. Also movie armorers used aftermarket barreled uppers by third party manufacturers and mated them to existing fully automatic lower receivers, thus were constantly swapping parts to build up guns which were requested by movie directors. So it is possible to see various upper receiver assemblies on recognizable M16/A1/A2 lower receivers.''<br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;220&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;80&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Final Option]]'' || [[Ziggy Byfield]] || Trooper Baker || || 1982<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Uncommon Valor]]'' || [[Randall &quot;Tex&quot; Cobb]] || Sailor || || 1983<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Coordinates of Death (Koordinaty smerti)]]'' || Various actors || US Army soldiers || XM177E2, with original flash suppressor replaced by &quot;birdcage&quot; flash hider || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=3 | ''[[Spies Like Us]]'' || [[Sam Raimi]] || Security Guard || || rowspan=3 | 1985<br /> |-<br /> | [[Joel Coen]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Martin Brest]] || Security Guard<br /> |-<br /> | [[Brazil]] || || MOI SWAT officers || || 1985<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Park is Mine, The|The Park is Mine]]'' || [[Yaphet Kotto]] || NYPD ESU Cpt.

Though 'unofficially' called the &quot;M16 Shorty&quot; by some writers and shooters, the 16&quot; barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an &quot;M&quot; or &quot;XM&quot; designation. It was used in the US by Federal and local law enforcement. The Model 653 is also the basis for the Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 carbine series (see above). <br /> <br /> In 1985 Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5&quot; barreled version of the Model 653, intended for tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns had A2 style heavy barrels. The '''Model 723''' was a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.<br /> <br /> ''What is confusing is that other manufacturers made all sorts of modified short barreled AR-15 rifles for the Police and Civilian markets throughout the years. Colt themselves bastardized so many of their rifles throughout the years, swapping particular uppers with different lowers so that there will always be exceptions to the rule. The explosion of custom and unique looking AR-15 rifles in the 1980s and 1990s has led to a lot of confusion regarding what rifle is in what movie.

The FPW was designed to allow transported soldiers to protect the vulnerable flanks and rear of the IFV while still under armor. The weapon is only capable of full-auto fire with no semi-auto mode. Later upgrades to the Bradley blocked the firing ports on the sides of the hull with extra armor, though FPWs are still carried for the two rear ports covering the loading ramp.<br /> <br /> ===Video Games===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;300&quot;|'''Game Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Appears as'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;400&quot;|'''Variant and Notes'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Release Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |[[Project Reality]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2005<br /> |-<br /> |[[Battlefield: Bad Company]]|| ||Used on M2A2 Bradley||2008<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==AR-15 Carbine==<br /> The AR-15 (for Armalite Model 15) Carbine is the common name for the widely-owned semi-automatic rifle which soon afterwards became the selective fire M16 and M4 carbine assault rifles, which are currently in use by the United States military. AR-15 was the original name for what became the militarily designated M16, the assault rifle first used by the US in the Vietnam War. The name AR-15 is now used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles.<br /> Standard AR-15 rifles accept detachable magazines of widely varying capacities, and have a pistol grip that protrudes beneath the stock. AR-15 rifles are highly configurable and customizable. They are commonly fitted with several accessories such as bipods, folding or collapsing stocks, threaded barrels for the attachment of a flash suppressor, and a rail system for the attachment of vertical grips, flashlights, laser sights, telescopic sights, etc.<br /> The AR-15 consists of separate upper and lower receiver assemblies, which are attached with two through-pins and can be quickly interchanged with no tools. The upper receiver assembly is simply considered a part, and may be freely purchased and mail-ordered in most locations. This is a very attractive feature for enthusiasts, who often purchase a number of upper receivers (often in different calibers) and interchange them with the same lower receiver. However, one must be thoroughly familiar with firearms laws before doing this as it is possible to make an illegal configuration.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AR15earliervariant.jpg|thumb|right|500px|AR-15 Carbine with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> <br /> ===Films===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Planet Terror]] || [[Freddy Rodriguez]] || El Wray || night-vision scope || 2007<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Hitcher, The (2007)|The Hitcher]]'' ||[[Sean Bean]] ||John Ryder || || 2007<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==M4/M4A1 Carbine==<br /> [[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm.

It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. Many of them on the battlefield are modified with railed handguards (usually holding the AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, a vertical foregrip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). The M4 has 3-round burst capability, while the M4A1 has full-auto fire capability. The very earliest M4s delivered to the US Army in 1994 had fixed carry handles and were known in Colt's catalog as the '''Model 777'''; however, soon after, the military started buying the '''Model 920''', which featured a detachable carry handle, but continued to call these guns &quot;M4s&quot;. Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable, and most of these carbines are used with the carry handle removed, and a folding rear sight and optic being attached to the receiver instead. As far as the procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1, however, more recently produced M4A1s also have a thicker barrel profile under the handguards along with a heavier buffer to slow the rate of fire, meaning that the weapon is more controllable during fully automatic firing and is less prone to overheating.<br /> <br /> What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16&quot; Carbine '''&quot;The M4&quot;'''. Though there is no rule saying they can't name their gun whatever they want, the official M4 is the version used and originally issued by the US Army and built by Colt. Colt tried to sue other gun makers to stop using the term 'M4' however, it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt cannot copyright the term. <br /> <br /> === Film ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;150&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;450&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | ''[[Air Force One]] || [[Gary Oldman]] || Ivan Korshunov || Fitted with C-More Sight, first film to feature the M4A1 || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 1997<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elya Baskin]] || Andrei Kolchak || Fitted with C-More sight<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Soldier]] || || Child recruits || Fitted with C-More Sights and RIS foregrips || 1998<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Cell]] || || FBI HRT members || Fitted with tactical light || 2000<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Joint Security Area]] || || South Korean soldiers || Fitted with C-More sights || 2000<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;2&quot; |''[[Black Hawk Down]] || [[Eric Bana]] || SFC Norm &quot;Hoot&quot; Gibson || Rubber prop M4 fitted with tactical flashlight and paint with desert camo, technically an anachronistic for the time period of the film || rowspan=&quot;2&quot; | 2001<br /> |-<br /> | || Delta operator || Rubber prop<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[2009: Lost Memories]] || || JBI SWAT officers || Fitted with scope, rails, forward handgrips, tactical light and laser aiming devices || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Steal]] || || SWAT officers || || 2002<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[The Sum of All Fears]] || || US military personnel || Fitted with Trijicon RX01 red dot sight || 2002<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | ''[[XXX|xXx]] || [[Marton Csokas]] || Yorgi || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip || rowspan=&quot;3&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Jan Pavel Filipensky]] || Viktor || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope, Beta-C mag and RIS foregrip<br /> |-<br /> | || NSA commandos || Fitted with M68 Aimpoint scope and Surefire M500AB forend weaponlight<br /> |-<br /> |rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever]] || [[Antonio Banderas]] || FBI agent Jeremiah Ecks || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | One of the first films to feature the M4's newer 6-position (&quot;LE&quot;) collapsible stock || rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | 2002<br /> |-<br /> | [[Lucy Liu]] || Agent Sever<br /> |-<br /> | [[Gregg Henry]] || Robert Gant<br /> |-<br /> | || DIA agents<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=&quot;4&quot; | ''[[Tears of the Sun]] || [[Bruce Willis]] || LT A.K.

The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA and Eagle Arms. Though there are now many semi-automatic rifles made by companies like Panther DPMS and others, most of the Movie Prop houses acquired their guns before the 1990s. So only the most common third party manufacturers will be seen. Since it's difficult to determine which maker built the gun, for the sake of simplicity, the rifle variants in movies will be identified by the COLT model they most look like, unless there is clear evidence of a third party manufacturer. Sometimes this is possible via DVD commentary, direct information from the Armorer, or a clear shot of the manufacturer trademarks on the gun in a screenshot.<br /> <br /> &lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Bushmaster XM-15 Rifle Series==<br /> [[Image:Bushmaster ar15 carbine.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The Bushmaster HBAR Carbine - listed in the Bushmaster Sales catalog as &quot;Bushmaster 16&quot;

Interesting enough, MGC called their replica rifle the '''CAR-15''' which was Colt's name for the civilian (non-military designation) rifle, rather than any of the names give by the US Military. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal, not plastic and it did not telescope. Instead the makers of the gun split the difference and locked the non-adjustable stock into the 'half extended/half closed' position. This feature did not enamor replica gun collectors to the weapon and it did not sell well.]]<br /> Before the advent of inexpensive Airsoft guns there were precious few replica weapons that could be used in productions if they didn't want to have a live firing weapon on set, or for a stunt or if they didn't have the budget to get a real gun (and armorer). Though the US Army had a &quot;rubber duck&quot;, i.e. slang for the hard rubber training M16 they used, it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Thus the metal REPLICA gun was used (those models that were actually available for purchase). Model Gun Corporation of Japan made and built excellent quality metal replica guns between the late 1960s and the early 1980s and the most utilized one was the '''MGC M16 assault rifle'''. They were sold in the United States by Collector's Armory, Ltd. (and should not be confused with the inferior quality zinc-pot metal replicas currently coming in from Spain).

They were used sometimes in films due to budgetary reasons, since low budget films (especially in the 1970s and 80s) could pick up a .22LR M16 clone for less than a real AR-15. There were .22LR guns imported into the US with either Armi-Jager or Adler-Jager markings (but the Armi-Jager was most common), so both names are correct. <br /> <br /> ===Film===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%;&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #D0E7FF; background-color:#ffffff; text-align:left; font-size: 95%&quot;<br /> |-bgcolor=#D0E7FF<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;280&quot;|'''Title'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;170&quot;|'''Actor'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;200&quot;|'''Character'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;250&quot;|'''Note'''<br /> !align=center bgcolor=#D0E7FF width=&quot;50&quot;|'''Date'''<br /> |-<br /> | ''[[Cassandra Crossing, The|The Cassandra Crossing]] || || US Army soldiers || AP-74 || 1976<br /> |-<br /> | rowspan=2|''[[Dawn of the Dead (1978)|Dawn of the Dead]] || [[Ken Foree]] || Peter Washington||rowspan=2| AP-74 || rowspan=2|1978<br /> |-<br /> | [[Scott H.

<p>Treliazz777: /* Olympia? */ new section</p> <hr /> <div>=Trivia=<br /> This section lists the weapons for which the futuristic/fictional aspects outweigh the potential resemblances (if any) to real counterparts.<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Marshal 16&quot;==<br /> The Marshal 16 is a bizarre 2-shot shotgun-pistol rather like the &quot;Pistole&quot; weapon from the ''Uncharted'' series, introduced via DLC and made available through the much-hated Supply Drop system. While the weapon holds 2 shells, it fires them both at once; this leads to it having twice the per-shot pellet count of other shotguns (though, bizarrely, this number is halved when the weapon is dual-wielded). Overall, the weapon's behavior makes it a spiritual successor of sorts to the [[Taurus Raging Judge]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]''. Mechanically, the weapon is strange; it has 2 barrels arranged in an over/under configuration that pivot out to the left rather like the barrel of a [[Heckler &amp; Koch AG36]], at which point the user then incorrectly dumps the spent 12 gauge shells out rather than manually removing them, or using any sort of mechanism in the weapon to remove them (realistically, the shells would expand during firing and would require additional force to remove). Given its status as a spiritual successor, coupled with a few distinct features, it would seem that the Marshal 16 was built using the ''Black Ops II'' Raging Judge as a base, with the most notable change being that the under-barrel lug was turned into a barrel (the influence is loose, but if you squint, you can see some resemblance).<br /> [[File:Marshal16 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;MR6&quot;==<br /> The MR6 is a futuristic striker-fired handgun with a integral laser aiming module (though the relevant attachment must be acquired to make it function and said attachment is absurdly large for a futuristic laser sight, being twice the size of modern day equivalents). It seems to have been based on the [[Dredd (2012)#&quot;Lawgiver Mk. II&quot;|Lawgiver Mk. II]] from ''[[Dredd (2012)|Dredd]]'' (which was built on a [[Glock 17]]), incorporating features from the Lawgiver like its digital display. According to the data vault and the display on the side of the gun, it is chambered in &quot;.40 R&amp;K&quot; (given the markings of the &quot;RK5&quot;, this presumably stands for &quot;Royal &amp; Kross&quot;), and it is Belgian in origin. Oddly enough, the &quot;High Caliber&quot; attachment instead changes the rear of the slide into a hammer that serves no real function, as it's attached to the slide. Interestingly the pistol's slide is partially fixed; only the rear slide portion (everything rearward of the forward sight) reciprocates when firing, meaning that the weapon's sights don't move together during cycling, which could lead to accuracy issues. Also, when the weapon is empty, the slide does not lock back, as with other handguns; this doesn't actually stop the player character from flicking what seems to be a slide release when reloading with no ammunition left in the gun if the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment is selected (which simply adds a Magpul-esque handling loop on the magazine baseplate that would be far too small to fit any fingers through).<br /> [[File:Dredd-Lawgiver-Mk-II-1.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Resin prop replica of the Lawgiver Mk. II from ''[[Dredd (2012)|Dredd]]''. From [http://www.yourprops.com/Lawgiver-Mk-II-replica-movie-prop-Dredd-2012-YP66649.html Yourprops.com].]]<br /> [[File:Bo3mr6.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Razorback&quot;==<br /> The Razorback appears to be based on the [http://www.pascaleggert.de/ThorA1.html Thor PDW], a fictional weapon using a [[TDI Vector]]-style offset recoil mechanism created by Crytek designer Pascal Eggert. It also features a [[G11]]-esque rotary charging handle. The Razorback appears to be a sibling of sorts with the Weevil, as it shares its &quot;5.7x29mm&quot; chambering and Belgian origin.<br /> [[Image:Thorpdw.jpg|thumb|none|375px|CGI render of the &quot;Thor PDW,&quot; a '''fictional''' super-compact 5.56x45mm NATO assault rifle created by Crytek designer Pascal Eggert]]<br /> [[File:Bo3razor.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;205 Brecci&quot;==<br /> A drum-fed shotgun that fires in semi-automatic only. It is Italian in origin and fires 12 gauge shells, according to the data vault. Given certain details, such as the shape of the receiver and the flashlight attached to the forend, the weapon seems to have been modeled using the ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops II]]'' Remington 870 as a base.<br /> [[File:Bo3 205 Brecci.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The 205 &lt;s&gt;Broccoli&lt;/s&gt; Brecci in the multiplayer weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Argus&quot;==<br /> A futuristic lever-action shotgun based on the [[Winchester Model 1887]] with a wire stock, and a grip rather reminiscent of a [[Chiappa Rhino]]. Instead of a tube magazine it has what appears to be a turret rifle cylinder which is inserted into the right side of the receiver; this lacks any actual openings of any sort, and more resembles a can of tuna than anything that would be used to hold cartridges of any sort. Said tuna can is also far too small to hold 10 (or, with the not-actually-magazine-size-increasing &quot;Extended Mag&quot;, 14) of any meaningfully powerful shotgun shell, despite the data vault stating it is chambered in 12 gauge (how such a small magazine can load 10 12-gauge shot-shells is best not thought about). The Argus does not appear to eject spent shells after every shot (or it uses a strange Ithaca 37-style downward ejecting system), though an empty reload on closer inspection shows it dumping a shell when the lever-action is locked open, suggesting it somehow only has one casing for 10 shots, or fires some weird futuristic shotgun round. It appears to fire an extremely tight spread of pellets (almost like it was firing slugs) as evidenced by its small spread and increased damage when ADS, making it a spiritual successor of sorts to the KSG from ''Black Ops II''. Notably, the weapon is spin-cocked when drawn and when reloaded while using the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment; as it lacks the enlarged lever loop normally required for such an action, the likely result of this would be the user having their fingers broken. It is American in origin, like the Haymaker 12.<br /> [[Image:Norinco Winchester 1887.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sawed off Winchester Model 1887 (Norinco Replica) - 12 gauge]] <br /> [[File:Argus BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Banshii&quot;==<br /> The Banshii is a futuristic shotgun added via DLC that fires bolts of energy. It has a custom pumping handle on the left side, making it operate in a similar-looking manner to the bolt-action [[M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System]], but the weapon is described as pump-action in the loadout menu. Unlike the other shotguns which fire hitscan projectiles, the Banshii's bolt does not travel instantaneously, and must be led to its target. This and its slow rate of fire make it a fairly difficult weapon to use effectively.<br /> [[File:Banshii BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Man-O-War&quot;==<br /> This rifle is a futuristic rifle taking clues from the [[Remington ACR|ACR]]. It is stated to be chambered in &quot;7.8x54mm&quot; and is American in origin. It is slow-firing, but is powerful, making it a futuristic battle rifle akin to a G3 or an FN FAL. The magazine well is a strange &quot;clamshell&quot; design, both sides opening up sideways to accept a magazine during reloads. Its magazine is also strangely shaped, resembling more of a battery pack than a box magazine (despite holding visible bullets) and is strangely compact for a 30 round magazine. The rifle's trigger by default is also weirdly shaped, resembling a window that encircles the shooter's finger. Man-O-War appears to be an unofficial nickname, as ''MNWR'' can be seen emblazoned on the weapons side. The data vault states that this is the standard rifle for Winslow Accord forces.<br /> <br /> [[File:Rem ACR.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington ACR with 14.5&quot; barrel, 5-sided handguard, and fixed stock - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[File:Bo3man-o-war.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Sheiva&quot;==<br /> A semi-only DMR, the &quot;Sheiva&quot; is probably supposed to be a successor to the [[SVU Dragunov|SVU]] or &quot;SMR&quot; ([[Saritch 308]]) from ''Black Ops II'', though it is difficult to say which since the bullpup rifle is buried in chunky &quot;future&quot; embellishments (however, given the re-use of the reloading animation of the &quot;SMR&quot;, this seems to be more likely, along with some influence from the [[Metal Storm Weapons#Metal Storm MAUL|Metal Storm MAUL]], given the receiver shape). Oddly, several of its upgrades add wood furnishings. Marking on the weapons stock indicates it is of Indian origin, and is chambered for the Czech 7.62x45mm round. The weapon's design also makes it impossible for it to actually function, as viewing the &quot;Rapid Fire&quot; attachment shows the empty chamber without any sort of operating mechanism, and if one did actually exist, there wouldn't be enough space from the back of the chamber to the inside of the buttpad for it to fit in. To top it all off, the &quot;Fast Mags&quot; attachment has the character use a bolt release instead of the &quot;charging handle&quot;, which, given how it can only move by rotating up and down (during reloading, this is hit in a manner rather like an &quot;HK slap&quot;, sans the handle moving forward after it is hit), can only really be a bolt release. This also leads to the rather worrying conclusion that the weapon has no charging handle.<br /> [[File:Bo3sheiva.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Sheiva&quot; in the weapon selection screen. Note what appears to be a gas tube on top of the barrel; precisely what purpose this serves is not clear, as all it seems to do is dump gas further back down the barrel. Additionally, though only really visible in first person, what appears to be an AR15-style forward assist is attached to the left side of the receiver for no obvious reason.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Peacekeeper MK2&quot;==<br /> The &quot;Peacekeeper MK2&quot; was added via an update on July 28, 2016. It is a spiritual successor to the AAC Honey Badger-based &quot;Peacekeeper&quot; SMG from ''Black Ops II'', though the MK2 is categorized as an assault rifle.<br /> [[File:BO3-Peacekeeper-MK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Dingo&quot;==<br /> A fast-firing double-barreled machinegun with an aircraft-style cylindrical ammunition drum mounted diagonally in a configuration similar to the Zenit bullpup kit for the [[PKP Pecheneg]], though the Dingo has a conventional layout. It is chambered in &quot;5.49x39mm&quot;, and rather fittingly for its name is Australian in origin. When held in first-person, a marking on the back toward the stock reads &quot;C96 LMG&quot;, implying an official designation given upon military adoption. How exactly it feeds into a double barrel mechanism is never explained, and the weapon expends its magazine as if it were single-barreled (the ammunition counter does not decrease in increments of two, rather in increments of one). Given how the forend seems to have a trigger guard and trigger, it almost seems as if the lower barrel was originally intended to be a separate weapon altogether.<br /> [[Image:Pkpzenit.jpg|thumb|450px|none|PKP Pecheneg with Zenit bullpup conversion kit - 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[File:Bo3dingo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Dingo in the weapon selection menu.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Gorgon&quot;==<br /> A slow-firing machine gun that actually looks more like an anti-materiel rifle given the muzzle brake and barrel. It is chambered in &quot;.50 Cal&quot; (the campaign's data vault apparently not understanding that this isn't really a comprehensive statement, as there are numerous .50 caliber rounds, and they are not interchangeable by any stretch of the imagination). It appears to possess a novel recoil-counterbalancing system not unlike the &quot;balanced action&quot; of the [[AK-107]]; as the bolt and charging handle go back with each shot, a weight wrapped around the barrel moves forwards at the same time, presumably canceling out most of the felt recoil and improving accuracy (unlike most variations of this system, the weight is external and visible, presumably to make it more visually interesting). In fact, the weight is directly connected to the charging handle, as pulling it back to reload the weapon causes the weight to move forwards. It is possibly based on the [[Blaser R93]] sniper rifle, with some influence from the [[CETME Ameli]] (given the shape of the feed tray cover, among other features). It is Egyptian in origin (despite &quot;Gorgon&quot; being a Greek term) according to the data vault.<br /> [[File:GorgonBO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|You see, ''this'' is why we can't have nice things.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;SVG-100&quot;==<br /> The game's high-caliber rifle. Formerly called the &quot;Power-Bolt&quot; in the beta. It is German in origin and is chambered for 12.7x99mm RAR, which happens to be the same measurement in the NATO designation of the real-steel .50 BMG round. It utilizes a rather unique system for chambering rounds; instead of a bolt that the user manipulates to chamber the next round, parts of the barrel and receiver unfurl and the bolt travels back on its own, completing the process in a little over two seconds. Essentially, the rifle is a self-chambering bolt-action anti-materiel rifle. In fact, the only thing the user has to do when the weapon is emptied is replace the magazine, like the Man-O-War the magazine well opens sideways to allow for magazine removal, once a fresh magazine is inserted the weapon self-chambers and is ready to fire. The weapon seems to have been based on the ''Black Ops II'' &quot;XPR-50&quot;, which, in turn, was (somewhat loosely) based on the [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], along with a [[Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention]]-esque carrying handle and a [[Barrett M82]]'s distinctive muzzle brake. The latter component, oddly enough, is seemingly within the end of the barrel, rather than simply attached to it (begging the question of what purpose the section of barrel ahead of it serves), and also recoils when the weapon is fired; while this would normally imply a recoil-operated design, the weapon is clearly a bolt-action. While some bolt-action rifles do use a recoiling barrel system (the [[Boys Antitank Rifle]] comes to mind) for recoil compensation, this is still an unorthodox decision. Just to complicate things further, the &quot;FMJ&quot; attachment (this changes the barrel design and allows for better surface penetration, ignoring both that FMJ rounds are standard-issue in most militaries (&quot;Armor-Piercing Rounds&quot; would have been a better title), and that a FMJ refers to the rounds in question, not the barrel) seemingly lacks this.<br /> [[File:SVG100 BO3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SVG-100 in the multiplayer loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;BlackCell&quot;==<br /> An anti-vehicle missile launcher that only locks on to vehicles, much like the guided missile launchers from previous games. Despite its seemingly futuristic appearance, it is likely based on tripod-mounted launchers such as the [[Spike]] and [[ERYX]], but scaled down for man-portable use. It is Thai in origin and fires an &quot;SRS-22&quot; Air To Air missile.<br /> [[File:Bo3bla.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The BlackCell in the loadout screen.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;War Machine&quot;==<br /> The War Machine is a futuristic 8-shot grenade launcher available as a specialist weapon to the multiplayer character Erin &quot;Battery&quot; Baker. It is a spiritual successor to the [[Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] from ''Black Ops II'' also referred to as &quot;War Machine&quot;, but this time the grenades only explode on impact if they hit a target; otherwise, they will bounce off surfaces and explode later. The data vault states that it fires 40x46mm grenades and is South African in origin. The launcher has &quot;MK 98&quot; written on the stock, and according to the inscriptions on the side of the weapon (just above the cylinder), it is intended for police use only; while police forces do use grenade launchers, these are normally loaded with ammunition like tear gas, not HE grenades.<br /> [[File:BO3-WarMachine.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The War Machine in the loadout screen.]]<br /> [[Image:BO3_WM_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An available War Machine in the Frozen Forest.]]<br /> <br /> =Discussion=<br /> First screens from the website.

Also, this is a bullpup with the magazine clearly visible protruding out of the bottom of the receiver so in function it is totally different to a MAUL as well. I doubt that this is based particularly closely on anything real (particularly as there are a number of design features that make zero sense on a real gun), but pretty sure it is meant to be an assault rifle though rather than a shotgun. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:49, 8 July 2015 (EDT)<br /> ::::If you squint at it you can see what they're talking about, it looks like they basically used the old MAUL model as a shape reference when they were making this thing.

It looks similar to the Remington R5 from Ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> M8A7 = Resembles an SL8. Given its 4-round burst-fire nature and name it may be a successor to the M8A1 from Black Ops 2.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Sheiva = Reminds me of an M14 in a Rogue Juggernaut bullpup chassis, or the SMR from BO2.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Man-O-War = Looks like a buffed-up futuristic HK-417.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> XR-2 = Tavor-like design.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> Submachine Guns:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> Kuda = UMP-like weapon.

Now regarding the others:<br /> *&quot;5.58×33mm&quot;: closest match I could find is the 5.56×30mm MINSAS<br /> *&quot;.40 R&amp;K&quot;: .40 S&amp;W (it was actually referred to as such on the gun's side display pre-patch)<br /> *&quot;.467 SwS Depleted&quot;: gotta be the .460 S&amp;W Magnum<br /> *&quot;9×24mm&quot;: there are several possibilities, including 9×23mm Winchester and 9×23mm Largo<br /> *&quot;7.8×54mm&quot;: pretty much the .300 WSM, which has a metric size of 7.8×53.5mm<br /> *&quot;7.8×50mm RAR&quot;: almost similar to the .307 Winchester, metric size 7.8×51mmR<br /> *&quot;Brimstone 5.56 Caseless&quot; (what): don't see anything other than the LSAT's 5.56mm caseless ammunition (I mean, you can't expect it to be that of the Armtech C30R-like prototypes) <br /> For the rocket launchers ammo &quot;76×126mm&quot; and &quot;SRS-22 ATA&quot;, fuck it lol.

The issue is, I don't really know what to say about it, partly because I don't have any other CoD campaigns to compare it to, but from what I can see, it was sort of what I expected- that is, primarily focused on shooting, with the story somewhat (though not entirely) put on the backburner.

The game has variously been developed by Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, and was published by Activision in 2012 for the PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360. The first DLC pack, &quot;Revolution,&quot; was released on January 29th 2013 for Xbox 360 and February 28th for other formats, and included new maps and the &quot;Peacekeeper&quot; exclusive weapon. A second DLC, &quot;Uprising,&quot; was released on Xbox on April 16th 2013, with other formats following a month later. This release includes several new multiplayer maps and a new mobster-themed Zombies map &quot;Mob of the Dead,&quot; with player characters voiced by [[Ray Liotta]], [[Michael Madsen]], [[Chazz Palminteri]] and [[Joe Pantoliano]]. The third DLC, &quot;Vengeance,&quot; featured more multiplayer maps and an additional Zombies level, was released on XBox on July 2nd 2013, with other platform releases following on August 1st. The final DLC pack, &quot;Apocalypse&quot;, was released on Xbox Live on August 27th, 2013, featured a final set of multiplayer maps and a Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot; that details the first ever zombie outbreak of 1918 Northern France.<br /> <br /> A number of additional minor content packs have been released, consisting of new multiplayer weapon skins, reticle models and &quot;Calling Card&quot; icons.<br /> <br /> The singleplayer story continues from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops]]'' and is set over two time periods, with previous protagonist Alex Mason continuing his top-secret work during the Cold War while his son David &quot;Section&quot; Mason deals with an emerging threat in 2025 from a powerful, ruthless terrorist leader named Menendez who has mysterious links to his father's work in the past. <br /> <br /> For purposes of this article, Alex Mason is referred to as &quot;Mason&quot; and David Mason as &quot;Section.&quot;<br /> <br /> '''The following weapons are seen in the video game ''Call of Duty: Black Ops II'':'''<br /> <br /> '''Note: spoilers are present in some descriptions.'''<br /> __TOC__&lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> = Overview =<br /> <br /> ''Black Ops II'' uses the standard system of granting the player two &quot;slots&quot; for weapons; in the campaign this can be any two weapons. Unlike previous games, the game's single-player mode begins each mission with a multiplayer-like loadout screen where the player can choose the two weapons they will be equipped with and customize them, with new weapons and accessories unlocking as the game progresses. Special weapon crates are placed through the maps which contain copies of their chosen weapons, to ensure they do not run out of ammunition using a weapon that would not normally spawn in that mission.<br /> <br /> The game features an accessory system for customising weapons as before; in single-player, most weapons which allow accessories can have up to three. Weapons are divided into &quot;past&quot; weapons for the Cold War setting, and &quot;future&quot; weapons for the 2025 setting, each with their own accessories; on the first run through the game, the past weapons can be used in the future levels, but the future weapons cannot be used in the past. One possible &quot;accessory&quot; for a weapon is select-fire, allowing a weapon to toggle between automatic and either burst or semi-auto mode (but never both). Using the alternate fire mode generally changes the weapon's cyclic rate of fire.<br /> <br /> Weapons can also be customised with camouflage patterns; as well as the usual selection of patterns, these include licensed digital camo patterns from groups such as Kryptek.<br /> <br /> In Zombies mode, the player characters start with an M1911 as their only weapon, and can purchase additional weapons using points gained by defeating enemies and repairing barricades. Weapons are bought from chalk outlines on the walls, and ammo can be purchased from the same locations afterwards, or randomly acquired from a &quot;max ammo&quot; pickup dropped by enemies. In addition, a &quot;Mystery Box&quot; can be used to spawn a random weapon, including a selection of weapons not normally found in the levels. Weapons can only be upgraded using the elusive &quot;Pack-A-Punch&quot; machines, which generally re-skin or alter the weapon's model and grant it a new name and improved abilities.<br /> <br /> = Pistols =<br /> <br /> ==&quot;B23R&quot;==<br /> <br /> A fictional three-round burst-firing handgun called the &quot;B23R&quot; is available in the future levels. It appears to be intended as a &quot;futurised&quot; version of the [[Beretta 93R]] seen in previous ''Call of Duty'' games (and is referred to as such in the game files), but most of the weapon's actual design cues come from an Airsoft custom [[M1911]] pistol by WE Tech, called the &quot;Hi-CAPA 5.1 Dragon A.&quot; Strangely, though it has a modelled folding front grip, it cannot use a grip accessory and is never shown with the grip unfolded. In the ''Strike Team'' IOS spin-off, it is revealed that the B stands for &quot;Beretta&quot;, cementing its status as a successor to the 93R. A B23R with a tactical knife &quot;attachment&quot; (technically a misnomer, as the knife isn't actually attached to the pistol in any way) is the starting weapon in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AIRSOFTWe-005gb 2.jpg|thumb|none|350px|'''Airsoft''' WE Tech Hi-CAPA 5.1 Dragon A]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-B23R-Model.jpg|thumb|none|350px|The in-game B23R model.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-B23R-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|&quot;B23R&quot; on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-B23-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section reloads his B23R as he commences his assault on a disused set from ''Crysis''.]]<br /> <br /> == Beretta 92SB ==<br /> <br /> Soldiers can sometimes be seen with holstered [[Beretta 92SB]] handguns in the future levels, particularly Salazar who has two. This is odd, since the weapon is not available in gameplay and nobody ever uses one; when Salazar draws his pistol, it is an [[FN Five-seveN]]. Most likely a placeholder that was never replaced, seeing as the Five-seveN and the &quot;KAP-40&quot; have replaced the M9 as the standard service pistol of the American military.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BerettaM92SB.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Beretta Model 92SB - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Beretta-1.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Throughout the campaign, Salazar has two Berettas, one in his chest rig and another in his hip holster.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Beretta-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With everything going wrong, Section takes a closer look at Salazar's chest rig aboard the USS ''Barack Obama'' as he provides the understatement of the century.]]<br /> <br /> == Browning Hi-Power ==<br /> <br /> The [[Browning Hi-Power]] is first available in the first mission of the game, &quot;Pyrrhic Victory&quot;, where it is used by the MPLA. Mason uses one in the same mission to threaten Menendez, and later Woods uses one to shoot a Cuban soldier who ambushes Mason and Hudson. It appears to have the same stats as the FNP-45, which includes an incorrect 10-round magazine that increases to the correct 13 with the &quot;Extended Clip&quot;; that or the developers meant it to be the .40 S&amp;W variant, which is much rarer (and, befitting the sequel to ''Black Ops'', anachronistic - .40 S&amp;W was not available until 1990, and Hi-Powers chambered for it were first marketed in 1994).<br /> <br /> [[Image:BrowningHiPowerPistol9mm.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Classic Browning Hi-Power (Belgian Manufacture) - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Browning-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Browning Hi-Power on the singleplayer weapon select menu; note the thicker and widely spaced slide serrations.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Browning-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Towards the end of &quot;Pyrrhic Victory,&quot; Mason, his radio-using plan having gone awry, takes a young Raul Menendez hostage with his Browning Hi-Power, which is strange considering Mason had an M1911A1 when he entered the shack.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Browning-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|''&quot;You can't kill me.&quot;'' At the end of the same mission, a worse-for-wear Woods takes out a soldier with his own Hi-Power.]]<br /> <br /> == Bruni Olympic 6 ==<br /> <br /> During the introduction to &quot;Old Wounds&quot; as Salazar is explaining Menendez's rise to power, a live-action sequence shows an actor playing a young Menendez drawing a [[Bruni Olympic 6]] blank-fire revolver from his waistband and &quot;shooting&quot; a rival in both legs with it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Olympic6 2.jpg|350px|thumb|none|Bruni Olympic 6 with wooden grips - .22 blanks]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Oldwoundsrevolver-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Young Menendez reaches for his Bruni Olympic 6...]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Oldwoundsrevolver-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and shoots the man responsible for smuggling cable spools and shipping containers into every FPS ever.]]<br /> <br /> == Colt M1911 Variant ==<br /> <br /> Just like in the previous game, the [[M1911]] has a WW2 A1 slide and trigger and Colt Series 80 frame and hammer. It is available from the start of the game for campaign missions and is once more the starting weapon for Zombies. Nickel plated pistols are one of the common low-detail &quot;holstered&quot; pistols seen on NPC character models. <br /> <br /> [[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Standard Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Series80blued.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt MK IV Series 80 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:NickelPlatedM1911A1.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Nickel plated M1911A1 pistol with brown grips - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1911-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|M1911A1 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1911-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|At the end of &quot;Old Wounds,&quot; THE NUMBERS return to haunt Mason as he fights his urge to execute the captive Kravchenko with his uncocked M1911A1 (despite Mason having previously pulled the slide) during an interrogation.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1911-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|In Zombies' Tranzit mode, player character Russman holds an M1911 as he looks over the bus which will be conveying him from one place full of zombies to another, pondering precisely how this activity improves his current situation.]]<br /> <br /> == Colt Python ==<br /> <br /> The [[Colt Python]] returns from ''Black Ops'' in Zombies mode, and is seen in Jonas Savimbi's holster in &quot;Pyrrhic Victory,&quot; though it is never available either in the singleplayer campaign or from the loadout screen. Like in the first Black Ops, when reloading, the player character holds it muzzle up and dumps rounds instead of using the ejector rod, and ejects the entire contents of the cylinder, but only inserts as many rounds (one-at-a-time) as would be needed to replace those actually fired. The snub-nose Python model from ''Black Ops'' is used in the introduction for the &quot;Mob of the Dead&quot; DLC Zombies map, but does not actually appear in the map itself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtPython6In.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Colt Python - .357 Magnum]]<br /> [[Image:Coltpython25.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt Python Snub Nose with 2.5&quot; barrel - .357 Magnum]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Python-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A Colt Python is visible in Jonas Savimbi's holster as he commands his UNITA troops forward.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Python-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Russman holds a Colt Python in Zombies mode as the survivors turn the power back on.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-ColtPython-3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The survivors in the introduction to &quot;Mob of the Dead&quot; open fire with their snub-nose Colt Pythons, apparently from the warden's private collection. Given this collection was of four identical guns, it can be surmised that the warden was not very good at collecting things.]]<br /> <br /> == FN Five-seveN ==<br /> <br /> The [[FN Five-seveN]] is available in the future levels. While it is still held with one hand as in ''Modern Warfare 3'', it has its correct 20-round capacity for the most part. The model in game has green tritium-illuminated iron sights. In multiplayer it is able to kill an enemy with two hits, but only at point-blank to very close range. Oddly, though the Five-seveN has a capacity of 20 rounds in all modes, if dual Five-seveNs are picked up from the Mystery Box in Zombies mode they will have ''Modern Warfare 3's'' incorrect 15-round capacity.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FN-FiveSeven USG.jpg|thumb|350px|none|FN Five-seveN USG (US Government) model - 5.7x28mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FiveseveN-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FN Five-seveN on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FiveseveN-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|In Zombies mode, Misty uses a pair of Five-seveNs to see off the marauding undead.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FiveseveN-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section reloads his Five-seveN. While the modeled rounds in the magazine are a plus, the topmost one seems held in place more by faith than any aspect of the magazine's design.]]<br /> <br /> == FN FNP-45 Tactical ==<br /> <br /> Called the &quot;Tac-45,&quot; the [[FN FNP#FNP-45 Tactical|FN FNP-45 Tactical]] has a black slide and flat dark earth frame when no camo is applied, and is available in the future levels and in multiplayer from the beginning. It has a 10-round capacity by default, which becomes 13 rounds when the incorrectly-named &quot;Extended Clip&quot; is chosen. In multiplayer it features a longer two-hit kill range than the Five-SeveN, but much faster damage falloff after that range. In the game files, it was called FNP-45.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FNP45Tac.jpg|thumb|none|350px|FNP-45 Tactical with Trijicon RMR red dot sight - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FNP45-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FNP-45 Tactical on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FNP45-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aided and abetted by his robotic pygmy elephant, Section advances down a flooded street in Pakistan, armed with an FNP-45 Tactical.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FNP45-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Much wading later he finds himself near the end of his journey, and celebrates by reloading.

Like almost all sidearms and grenades on character models, these enemies will never attempt to use their revolvers.<br /> <br /> [[Image:S&amp;W Model M&amp;P.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Smith &amp; Wesson Model M&amp;P Revolver with 5&quot; Barrel - .38 Special]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Revolver-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason looks down at a drug cartel thug (not to be confused for a thug cartel drug) and admires his low-detail revolver.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Revolver-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following a failed attempt by Dignity Battalion to give Woods a suspiciously undignified death-by-baseball-bat, he takes a moment to look over their sidearms, figuring they must have mistaken him for whoever sold them revolvers with no triggers.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler &amp; Koch USP45 ==<br /> <br /> Similarly to the Beretta 92SB, the [[Heckler &amp; Koch USP#Heckler &amp; Koch USP|Heckler &amp; Koch USP45]] is not a usable weapon, only seen holstered on the character models of mercenary enemies in the future levels.<br /> <br /> [[Image:HK-USP.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Heckler &amp; Koch USP45 - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-USP-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section finds himself unduly fascinated by a dead mercenary's holstered USP45.]]<br /> <br /> == M8 Flare Pistol ==<br /> <br /> A PDF soldier at the start of &quot;Suffer With Me&quot; fires an [[M8 flare pistol]] as Woods and Mason attempt to pass his checkpoint. The pistol is only seen at long range, as it vanishes when the soldier is killed.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M8FlarePistol.jpg|thumb|none|350px|M8 Flare Pistol - 37mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Flaregun-Model.jpg|thumb|none|250px|The in-game M8 Flare Pistol model.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Flaregun-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following Woods and Mason completely failing at anything resembling stealth, the PDF soldier raises his flaregun. At full size, the distinctive twin hooked projections of the M8, the mount latch and breech lock, are clearly visible.]]<br /> <br /> == Makarov PM ==<br /> <br /> The [[Makarov PM]] returns from ''Black Ops'' and is available starting with the mission &quot;Old Wounds.&quot; The weapon has a new reload animation that vaguely resembles the ASP 9's old animation, which is a bit closer to the actual Makarov's reloading operation (but not by much). As it is the same model from ''Black Ops'', it is still modeled with an incorrect adjustable rear sight which is only available on the civilian version.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MakarovPM.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Makarov-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Makarov PM on the singleplayer weapon select menu; note the adjustable rear sight.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Makarov-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds a suppressed Makarov PM in &quot;Pyrrhic Victory&quot; as he admires one of Savimbi's Eland armoured cars.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Makarov-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Empty-reloading his Makarov, he discovers that wartime shortages have forced the use of low-resolution ammunition.]]<br /> <br /> == Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer ==<br /> <br /> The [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] with various retro-futuristic embellishments appears as the starting pistol in the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot; from the &quot;Apocalypse&quot; DLC. It is incorrectly called &quot;Mauser C96&quot; in-game, which is the variant that uses stripper clips, unlike the M712, which uses box magazines. While it does not have a standard M712 fire selector, it does have a switch at the same location which presumably has the same function. Except it apparently doesn't, as the in-game weapon is semi-auto only. It has an incorrect magazine capacity of 8 rounds instead of 10 or 20 (the weapon model shows a 20-round magazine).<br /> <br /> Its upgraded form is called the &quot;Boomhilda&quot; and sports a suppressor and scope and fires lasers, likely a reference to Han Solo's C96-based gun from ''[[Star Wars: The Original Trilogy|Star Wars]]''. A piece of official artwork suggests one of the in-game characters developed this variant of the Mauser and called it the &quot;CXS.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Image:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2 Mauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Takeo aiming his M712.]]<br /> <br /> == Remington 1858 New Army ==<br /> The [[Remington 1858 New Army]] appears in the Zombies map &quot;Buried&quot; from the &quot;Vengeance&quot; DLC. It incorrectly operates in double-action mode instead of single-action. It otherwise functions like the Colt Python from previous maps, but with the ability to reload all its rounds at once (by swapping out cylinders). It also appears in the intro video of &quot;Origins&quot;, but is not in the map itself.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Remington1858-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-R1858.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Russman about to fire the Remington.]]<br /> <br /> == Taurus Raging Judge ==<br /> <br /> A [[Taurus Raging Judge]] is Menendez's signature weapon during the game's campaign, and is called the &quot;Executioner,&quot; though the game files use the weapon's real name. Judging by the cylinder it appears to be the cancelled 28-gauge version. It exclusively fires shotgun shells, and can be unlocked for the campaign by completing 5 challenges in &quot;Celerium.&quot; Like the Python, the reload animation is extremely bizarre; the player character ejects the entire contents of the cylinder, but only inserts as many rounds as would be needed to replace those actually fired. The reloading animation is a loop showing the cartridges being placed into the same chamber of an empty cylinder, which magically becomes completely full when it is snapped closed, though this can only be seen by changing the FOV on PC. A Raging Judge with a laser pointer serves as the 3rd weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> The Raging Judge is one of only two weapons to change visually when the &quot;long barrel&quot; attachment is used (the other is the Beretta Model 682), and the first revolver in any ''Call of Duty'' game able to accept a suppressor (followed by the Raging Bull in ''Call of Duty: Ghosts'', the &quot;Hailstorm&quot; in ''Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare'' and the Taurus Model 44 in ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered''). The suppressor would be pointless in practice, since the Judge, like most revolvers, does not have a gas-tight seal between the chamber and the barrel.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Taurus Raging Judge XXVII.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Taurus Raging Judge XXVIII - 28 gauge. This was a prototype for the Raging Judge chambered in 28 gauge shotshells unveiled in 2011. It never entered production due to legal issues: while it is not legally a handgun (as it is a smoothbore) or a shotgun (as it has no stock), it would be an NFA-restricted &quot;any other weapon&quot; as it is small enough to be &quot;readily concealable&quot; and could also be restricted as a &quot;destructive device&quot; as it was unlikely to pass the sporting purpose test for shotguns.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Judge-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taurus Raging Judge on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Judge-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|During a brief sequence from Menendez's perspective, the villain holds his Raging Judge on a hostage.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Judge-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|After the campaign has been completed once, the loadout screen unlocks completely, allowing future weapons to be used in the past.

It is very common and appears to be a standard handgun for the United States military in 2025, and is also used by LAPD officers; the latter only use it in semi-auto, and their reloading animation shows them pulling on a slide the weapon does not actually have. Despite the weapon's name implying it being chambered for .40 S&amp;W, the weapon's markings display its chambering as .45 ACP. A pair of &quot;KAP-40&quot;s make up the second weapon tier in Gun Game. In game files, it was called the 'KARD'.<br /> <br /> [[Image:KRISS KARD.jpg|thumb|none|400px|TDI Kard Prototype - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Kard-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TDI Kard on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Kard-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section reloads a suppressed TDI Kard with a laser pointer and reflex sight. Note that a fire selector and, bizarrely, a bolt release from a TDI Vector have been added.]]<br /> <br /> = Submachine Guns =<br /> <br /> ==CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1==<br /> <br /> The [[CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1]] is available in the 2025 missions, and is used by PMC troops, primarily in the first 2025 level &quot;Celerium.&quot; It has the highest rate of fire of any submachine gun in the game. A Scorpion Evo 3 A1 with an attached laser pointer is the 7th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:CZ SCORPION EVO 3 A1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Skorpion-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Scorpion-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section holds a CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 he rescued from a horrifying attempt at applying camouflage.]]<br /> <br /> == Heckler &amp; Koch MP5A3 ==<br /> <br /> The [[Heckler &amp; Koch MP5A3]] is available in the single-player campaign and in Zombies mode. It is used by PDF troops during &quot;Time and Fate&quot;, available in the player's loadout from the beginning and is the recommended primary weapon for &quot;Suffer With Me&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MP5A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch MP5A3 with &quot;tropical&quot; (wide) forearm and stock extended - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MP5-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|MP5A3 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MP5-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding a hideous gold-plated abomination of an MP5, Mason is thankful that his allies have more taste than he has.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MP5-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The draw animation shows the stock being extended if it has a &quot;grip&quot; attachment.

However, the base of the grip still has the stop tab and base of a 20-round magazine modeled as part of it.]]<br /> <br /> == IMI Uzi ==<br /> <br /> The [[Uzi]] is used by cartel and PDF troops in Nicaragua in &quot;Time and Fate&quot;. If fitted with a grip attachment, the weapon will visibly gain a stock, which is unfolded during the weapon's draw animation. Like in the first Black Ops, the Uzi incorrectly fires from a closed bolt instead of an open one.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|400px|none|IMI Uzi with buttstock collapsed - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Uzi-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Uzi on the singleplayer weapon select menu.

Note this is apparently an &quot;IZI&quot; SMG, and quite clearly based on a civilian non-NFA weapon since it has the words &quot;semi auto&quot; printed on the receiver.]]<br /> <br /> ==Jian She JS 9mm==<br /> <br /> A modified [[QCW-05#Jian She JS 9mm|Jian She JS 9mm]] is called the &quot;Chicom CQB,&quot; and uses a carry handle sight with a built-in, unusable tactical light similar to the one on the [[Magpul FMG-9]] in ''Modern Warfare 3''. It erroneously fires from a closed bolt and in three-round bursts (at a very high fire rate of 1250 RPM, equal to that of the Skorpion Evo 3's full-auto rate), though the correct fully-automatic mode is used with the &quot;Select Fire&quot; attachment. It defaults to automatic fire in singleplayer, but is burst-fire by default in multiplayer and Zombies mode. A JS 9mm with a reflex sight is the eighth weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:JS05.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Jian She JS - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:MagpulFMG-9.jpg|thumb|none|401px|Magpul FMG-9 in open form - 9x19mm.

The model appears to be re-used from Call of Duty 3 over the model seen in World at War and Black Ops I.<br /> [[Image:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP40 in first person. As in ''World at War'' and ''Black Ops'', the character grips it by the magazine well, though it lacks the &quot;MP-40&quot; inscription due to being a different model.]]<br /> <br /> == MSMC ==<br /> <br /> The [[Modern Sub Machine Carbine]] is used by Cordis Die mercenaries, and is particularly common in the mission &quot;Fallen Angel.&quot; In multiplayer it does the most damage at close range of any weapon in its class; it and the PDW-57 are the only SMGs capable of a 3-hit kill at close range. This power comes at the cost of a low rate of fire and small magazine. An MSMC fitted with a foregrip is used as the sixth weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MSMC SMG.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Modern Sub Machine Carbine - 5.56×30mm MINSAS]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MSMC-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|MSMC on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MSMC-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason fires an MSMC with tigerstripe camo at the start of &quot;Old Wounds.&quot;]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MSMC-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In a more appropriate time period, Section reloads his own MSMC, fitted with a fictional &quot;Millimetre Scanner&quot; and front grip.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;PDW-57&quot;==<br /> <br /> This fictional submachine gun bears a strong resemblance to the [[FN P90 TR]], and is probably intended to represent a &quot;futurised&quot; version of it. It's even referred to it in the game files. It uses a very similar polycarbonate box magazine, but rather than being inserted from the top of the weapon it pivots at the front and swings out the the left-hand side. Unlike the P90, the PDW-57 has a rather restrained rate of fire. Like the MSMC, in multiplayer it features high power offset by a low rate of fire.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FN P90 Triple Rail (TR).jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN P90 TR - 5.7x28mm]]<br /> [[Image:P90 Magazine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|P90 magazine, showing the spiral feed ramp.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-PDW-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|&quot;PDW-57&quot; on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-PDW-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section reloads his PDW-57. Note the bases of rounds in the polycarbonate magazine are shown on both sides, indicating some magical double-sided multi-round feed ramp is in use.]]<br /> <br /> == &quot;Peacekeeper&quot; ==<br /> <br /> Exclusive to multiplayer with the &quot;Revolution&quot; DLC is a new weapon in the SMG class called the &quot;Peacekeeper.&quot; This weapon is fictional, though it appears to take some design cues from the [[AAC Honey Badger]], and is equipped with a front grip based on the MagPul AFG and a tiny, rather useless-looking side-folding stock. The markings on the weapon state that it fires the FN Herstal 5.7x28mm round, meaning it is either an SMG patterned after a carbine rifle, or is the SMG variant of an assault rifle like the [[Colt 9mm SMG]]; in any case, it is presented as a submachine gun with accuracy and range closer to the larger assault rifles.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AAC honey badger.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AAC Honey Badger with magazine removed - 7.62x35mm]]<br /> [[Image:Peacekeeper.jpg|thumb|none|600px|&quot;Peacekeeper&quot; compact carbine pre-release image.

The game calls it the &quot;M1927,&quot; clearly intending it to be an M1927 rebuilt with an M1921 full-auto trigger group, but since the in-game weapon's receiver markings identify it as a Colt-produced M1921 there is no visual reason to say it is not one. It also incorrectly depicted as a closed bolt weapon, and is cocked after an empty reload, which wouldn't be really necessary since real Thompson submachine guns have an automatic bolt hold-open. Being in a gangster-based level, it is unsurprisingly equipped with a 50-round drum magazine.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M1921Thompson.jpg|400px|thumb|none|Colt M1921AC Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1921-Model.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game M1921AC model.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1921-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sal holds an M1921AC in Mob of the Dead as he witnesses the birth of the dreaded overacting zombie.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1921-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Partway through a reload, it is possible to make out the lettering on the weapon's side; aside from the weapon having no serial number, the only change is that &quot;COLT&quot; is changed to &quot;CTFA.&quot;]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1921-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Realising there are plenty more zombie wise guys who need icing, Sal quickly fetches another drum for his heater.

It is never found during the campaign, but can be selected from the loadout screen. It is the second weapon which changes visually when a &quot;Long Barrel&quot; Attachment is used; by default it has a shorter barrel than in ''Black Ops'' with only five vents in the barrel rib, while the Long Barrel has the same seven-vent rib as the ''Black Ops'' model. Strangely, all Beretta 682s in Zombies mode use the longer barrel, despite having the weapon's unmodified stats.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[File:Olympia72.jpg|thumb|none|400px|An actual Rottweil Skeet Olympia 72 - 12 gauge, for comparison]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-BerettaShotgun-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Beretta Model 682 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-BerettaShotgun-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In Zombies mode, Russman holds a Beretta Model 682 as he fends of the aforementioned undead.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-BerettaShotgun-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Quickly discovering two rounds is ''never'' enough, he breaks his shotgun open to reload, ejecting the spent shells.

It appears to be based very loosely on the model for the Beretta 682, but features four barrels with double hammers on each side. It is still a break-open weapon, the normally offset barrels tilting into line and a four-round speedloader being used to reload all four barrels together. The gun can also be modified beyond the standard Pack-a-Punch by building a machine to transform it into the &quot;Acid Gat&quot;. The Acid Gat has glowing green barrels that split near the end and fires a 3-round salvo of acidic capsules.<br /> <br /> [[Image:BM682.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta Model 682 Gold E - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Blundergat-Menu-Icon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The &quot;Blundergat&quot; in the game.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Blundergat-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Billy holds the &quot;Blundergat&quot; as he wonders when he accidentally started playing ''Painkiller''.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Blundergat-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Weasel reloads his &quot;Blundergat;&quot; note the rear sections of the barrels falling away, these are actually part of the speedloader.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Blundergat-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With the lower barrels swung into line with the upper ones, he then brings in a new speedloader.

The weapon's stock is unfolded in its menu image, absent in the viewmodel, and folded on the worldmodel. The weapon functions in semi-automatic mode with the forend in its proper forward position, but the player character will always incorrectly rack it at the end of a reload; this shouldn't be possible, because the forend is locked into this position when the weapon is set to semi-automatic. When used by Raul Menedez at the end of &quot;Suffer With Me&quot;, the stock is unfolded and he uses it in pump-action with the forend in the rearward position.<br /> <br /> Of note is that during the brief section of &quot;Time and Fate&quot; where Menendez is the playable character, his SPAS-12 has a double capacity of 16 shells instead of the usual 8. Furthermore, if he fires 4 or more shells, he will reload the SPAS by flipping it off-screen and back on, the entire process taking roughly one second.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FSpas12orign.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Franchi SPAS-12 combat shotgun with stock removed – 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SPAS-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At the end of the past mission arc, Menendez is seen with a SPAS-12 with a full, unfolded stock.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SPAS-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Earlier, during the first part of &quot;Time and Fate&quot; when Menendez is the player character, the starting weapon is a SPAS-12. Menendez largely alternates between this and hitting people with a machete while shouting &quot;arrrrgh!&quot;, and after firing beyond 3 shells he can reload the SPAS almost instantaneously, apparently just by being really angry at it.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SPAS-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Woods holds a SPAS-12 with tiger-stripe camo during &quot;Suffer With Me&quot;, as an MH-6 &quot;Little Bird&quot; lends him a helping hand.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SPAS-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having carelessly dropped his SPAS on the ground, Woods looks down at it and wonders why he can't see the stock when he is holding it.]]<br /> <br /> == Kel-Tec KSG ==<br /> <br /> The [[Kel-Tec KSG]] is seen in the hands of LAPD officers in &quot;Cordis Die&quot; and is found in the armoury of the USS ''Barack Obama''. Like in ''Modern Warfare 3'', the playable character loads all the shells into only one magazine tube; now however, if the &quot;Fast Mag&quot; attachment is chosen, shells are inserted into both magazine tubes. There is still no animation for switching the tube selector and so the weapon would only really be able to fire seven rounds from one tube. The KSG fires buckshot in the campaign, and slugs in multiplayer and Zombies. Weirdly enough, green shells are inserted during a reload, but the weapon ejects red ones when firing. A KSG with the &quot;Quickdraw&quot; attachment appears as the 4th tier weapon in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[File:Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun Oleg Volk 1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Kel-Tec KSG with Magpul RVG foregrip - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-KSG-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a KSG equipped with a suppressor as he makes his way aboard a massive floating city called Colossus.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-KSG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading the KSG; now done two at a time, so only half of the weapon's operation is impossible!]]<br /> <br /> == Remington 870 ==<br /> <br /> A custom tactical configuration of the [[Remington Model 870]] is referred to as the &quot;R870 MCS&quot; in singleplayer and &quot;Remington 870 MCS&quot; in multiplayer, and is shown with a RIS mount on the receiver which includes aftermarket sights and a spare shell holder on the left and a two-round one on the right. it also sports a Surefire weaponlight forend, an M4-type stock with a Magpul-style pistol grip, and a stand-off muzzle device for breaching purposes. It is not actually an MCS model as it does not have any of features of the 870 MCS, mainly its distinctive forend. <br /> <br /> [[Image:Rem870M4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington 870 fitted with a pistol grip, Surefire weaponlight forend, and M4-type stock - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Remington_870MCS.jpg|thumb|none|400px|An actual Remington 870 MCS for comparison - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-870MCS-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a custom Remington 870 as he gets ready to repel a PMC attack on the USS ''Barack Obama''. Note that the two green shells are labelled as door-breaching rounds and are upside-down; this is sometimes done by real-life tactical shotgun users to identify special rounds.]]<br /> <br /> == Saiga 12K ==<br /> <br /> The [[Saiga 12|Saiga 12K]] is available from the beginning for 2025 missions. It is modelled with a left-handed ejection port and charging handle, a Magpul MOE stock, a large stand-off muzzle device, and for some reason mounts HK-style iron sights. When reloading from empty, the player character locks back the charging handle and releases it after changing the magazine; this can be done with some later-model Saigas, which feature manual bolt hold-open devices to ease reloading.<br /> <br /> [[Image:LSA Saiga 12 Signcutter cs-vlr.jpg|thumb|none|400px|LSA Saiga 12 Signcutter CS-VLR - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Saiga-Model.jpg|thumb|none|401px|The game's Saiga 12K model (without the magazine).]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Saiga-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section makes his way into the secret facility in &quot;Celerium,&quot; armed with a Saiga 12K.

Note the enormous standoff door-breaching muzzle brake and, bizarrely, a side-mounted scope bracket. Anything actually mounted on it would interfere with its left-sided action.]]<br /> <br /> == SRM Arms M1216 ==<br /> <br /> The [[SRM Arms 1200 Series Shotguns|SRM Arms Model 1216]] is available in the future levels; it has apparently been adopted by the US military in ''Black Ops''' universe, since sailors on the USS ''Barack Obama'' are seen using it to defend against the assault by Menendez's PMC troops. It is correctly shown as having a magazine with four 4-round tubes which must be manually rotated, but incorrectly fires each 4-round stack in full-auto mode. This is actually a feature of the SRM Arms MLE-12, prototypes of which were seen as early as 2012; it is not clear if the developers were aware of the MLE-12 or it is simply coincidence. In any case, the in-game model lacks the MLE-12's additional semi / auto selector switch on the side of the stock, rear of the pistol grip.<br /> <br /> An interesting fact to note is that when the incorrectly named &quot;Extended Clip&quot; is used, the magazine size is increased from 16 to 20 rounds, but the player will actually be able to fire an additional 4-round stack, despite the weapon being fitted with only four tubes. It would have been more logical to add an extra shell to each of the four tubes (even though this goes beyond the real M1216's capacity). This isn't a problem for the &quot;Mesmerizer&quot; Pack-a-Punch variant in Zombies mode, that fires ''6'' shells from a single tube. An M1216 with the aforementioned &quot;Extended Clip&quot; attachment appears as the 5th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:SRM 1216.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SRM Arms Model 1216 - 12 gauge]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M1216-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds an M1216 as he looks over at one of the USS ''Barack Obama's'' RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile launchers.]]<br /> <br /> = Assault Rifles &amp; Battle Rifles =<br /> <br /> == AKS-74U ==<br /> <br /> The [[AKS-74U]] can be found in the past levels and appears in zombies mode; it is still referred to as the &quot;AK-74u&quot; and incorrectly classified as a submachine gun, but as in ''Black Ops'' is not based on a JG Beta-F Airsoft gun. It is incorrectly shown used by frontline Soviet troops in &quot;Old Wounds,&quot; whereas in reality it was only issued to tank crews, special forces, and support units.<br /> <br /> [[Image:AKSU-Krinkov.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AKS-74U - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AKS74U-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|AKS-74U on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AKS74U-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds an AKS-74U with a reflex sight as he makes his way through Menendez's villa complex. Note this is the same reflex sight model used by the AKS-74U in the original ''Black Ops''; being a ''Black Ops'' weapon the front sight must be sacrificed to the gods of optics.]]<br /> <br /> == AK Variant ==<br /> <br /> Starting from the beginning of the game, an [[AK-47|AK]] is available. The proportions of the AK's magazine, lack of vent holes in the handguard and lack of flash hider show that it is the same WASR-2 inspired conglomerate model with a dash of prototype [[AK-74]] used in ''Black Ops''. Soviet troops in Afghanistan use the &quot;AK-47&quot; in &quot;Old Wounds,&quot; despite that the AK-47 was phased out of frontline service at the time and had been replaced by the AK-74.<br /> <br /> [[Image:WASR2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A US imported Romanian WASR-2 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AK-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hybrid AK on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AK47-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds a gold-plated hybrid AK as Jonas Savimbi and his men attempt to get as far away from him as possible.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AK47-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In &quot;Suffer With Me,&quot; Woods show less of a taste for the extravagant as he reloads his own AK, trying to figure out if it was camouflaged or just dumped in a swamp. Note that as in ''Black Ops'' there are no vent holes in the handguard and it has no flash hider.]]<br /> <br /> == AN-94 ==<br /> <br /> The [[AN-94]] assault rifle is used by PMC troops and Menendez's forces, Russia seemingly having decided to export the high-tech assault rifle by 2025: in reality, production of the AN-94 was discontinued in 2006, and it was never made available for export. The weapon features a correct recoiling barrel and a 2-round burst mode, even firing the first two rounds faster in fullauto mode. It has a rail-topped side-mount attached to it with a aftermarket AK-style rear sight mounted on it and a taller front sight to match, though it still retains the original, now-useless rear sight.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Russian AN-94 Abakan Nikonov 5.45x39mm assault rifle 3.jpg|thumb|400px|none|AN-94 - 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AN94-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|AN-94 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AN94-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At the start of &quot;Achilles' Veil,&quot; what appears to be a spawning bug causes many of Menendez's men to have AN-94s without magazines. While this in itself might indicate they are ceremonial, the AN-94 is not noted for being able to fire without a magazine inserted as one man in the background is currently doing. The militiaman with the missile launcher seemingly believes he is holding an RPG-7, given his hand positions.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-AN94-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a camouflaged AN-94 as he makes his way towards the enemy base in the jungle, grumbling about the weather.

It still uses 20-round straight magazines with 30 rounds in them, and incorrectly has a three-round burst mode if it has the select-fire accessory. It is first available in the final 1980s level, &quot;Suffer With Me.&quot; The weapon is rather anachronistic since by the late 1980s the majority of the US military had switched to the M16A2 model and 30 round magazines.<br /> <br /> [[Image:USAF Colt Model 604.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Colt Model 604 (USAF M16) - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M16-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|USAF M16 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M16-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Mason holds his M16 on Manuel Noriega, whose face has once again evaded oxycution.

In the gamefiles it is referred to as 'M4'. It was replaced by the [[HK416|M27]], which has the same range and rate of fire as the removed M4.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[File:M4 BO2.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|The unfinished and untextured &quot;large&quot; M4 menu icon found in the game files.

In singleplayer it is fully automatic by default, whereas in multiplayer it defaults to semi-auto.<br /> <br /> [[Image:SA58ParaElite.jpg|thumb|400px|none|DSA SA58 Para Elite Compact with magazine removed - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SA58-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|SA58 Para Elite Compact on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SA58-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section holds an SA58 Para Elite Compact equipped with a Leupold HAMR scope and a suppressor as he looks over an X95 Flattop.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SA58-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading uses the same speed reload technique as in ''Modern Warfare 2'', and as in that game the old magazine will always have visible rounds in the top even if it was empty.]]<br /> <br /> == Enfield L85A2 ==<br /> <br /> During the introduction to &quot;Old Wounds,&quot; a series of stock footage screens show guns supposedly smuggled to Afghanistan by the Menendez cartel, most bizarrely two rows of [[L85A2]] rifles with bayonets fitted.<br /> <br /> [[Image:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Enfield L85A2 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-L85-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section and Salazar discuss Menendez's bizarre decision to smuggle the British Army's rifles to Heckler &amp; Koch.]]<br /> <br /> == FN FAL G Series ==<br /> <br /> The [[FN FAL]] is the same G Series model from the original ''Black Ops''. It is available from the first mission onwards. As with the DSA SA58, its multiplayer incarnation (used in Zombies mode) is semi-automatic by default, while the singleplayer version defaults to fully automatic.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Fn fal g series.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN FAL &quot;G Series&quot; - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FAL-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FN FAL on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FAL-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jonas Savimbi, having discarded his Hawk MM1 due to it being insufficiently awesome, brandishes an FN FAL.

It is incorrectly listed as the &quot;HAMR&quot;, which is a light machine gun version of the rifle entered for the USMC's IAR trials, but does not have the deeper handguard of that version of the rifle and is just a standard SCAR-L with a large 75-round drum magazine. Strangely, the weapon has a variable fire rate not unlike that of the AN-94; the first 7 shots in full-auto are fired at 937 RPM, and the rest are fired at 625 RPM (excluding singleplayer, where it fires at 937 RPM constantly). The &quot;Extended Clip&quot; (an incorrect name; it should be &quot;Extended Magazine&quot;) attachment raises the capacity to 100 rounds in multiplayer and 101 in singleplayer, because that presumably makes sense to somebody.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FN SCAR-L (Standard).jpg|thumb|400px|none|Third Generation FN SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:FN HAMR.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FN HAMR IAR - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SCAR-Model.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The game's &quot;HAMR&quot; model (without the magazine).

It holds 30 rounds in its 20-round magazine, or 40 if the invisible and incorrectly named &quot;Extended Clip&quot; is chosen.<br /> <br /> [[Image:2fff2537c0.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Third Generation FN SCAR-H CQC - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SCARH-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SCAR-H on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SCARH-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section makes his way through a CLAW manufacturing plant in &quot;Judgment Day,&quot; armed with a SCAR-H.

The in-game weapon has a standard 14.5-inch barrel rather than the 16.5-inch barrel used by the M27. The HK416 is always shown with a MagPul BAD Lever and a custom charging handle, and if the Foregrip attachment is used it will have a SureFire M900A vertical foregrip with an unusable weapon light. An HK416 with an &quot;MMS&quot; sight is the 9th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:HK416 14.5 Current.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch HK416 with 14.5 inch barrel - 5.56x45mm.

It has a railed carrying handle and a railed handguard with rail covers, rather than the PCAP accessory system used by the US XM8. In real life this configuration is used on Malaysian XM8s, though given the series' common use of Airsoft weapons as references it is far more likely this was based on a rail-equipped Airsoft gun. It also has an incorrect G36-style magazine well. It has a 32 round capacity, incorrect for any currently produced XM8/G36 magazine. The &quot;M8A1&quot; designation suggests it has been adopted by the US military as a standard weapon, and is used by both American soldiers and PMC troops. In multiplayer and Zombies modes, it fires 4-round bursts by default, something not present on the real XM8. An &quot;M8A1&quot; with an EOtech sight is used as the tenth weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Xm8 rightmed.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Older version of Heckler &amp; Koch XM8 - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:XM8-Malaysia.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler &amp; Koch XM8 R for reference's sake - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-XM8-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|XM8 on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-XM8-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Harper holds his XM8 at the start of &quot;Cordis Die&quot; as Section lies in a heap in a crashed Cougar MRAP.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-XM8-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds an XM8 with Leupold HAMR optic as he encounters a truly surreal scene.

It now uses the same animations as the other AK-type rifles.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Galil.jpg|thumb|400px|none|IMI Galil ARM - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Galil-Menu.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Galil ARM on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Galil-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Out and about in Afghanistan, Alex Mason holds a Galil as he examines a colt.]]<br /> <br /> == IWI X95 Flattop ==<br /> <br /> The [[IWI X95 Flattop]], an improved variant of the [[MTAR-21]], appears in the game as the &quot;MTAR.&quot; In Zombies mode Marlton identifies the weapon as an X95L variant, but the in-game model has a straight rail which is raised above the handguard, not a two-step rail like the L model.<br /> <br /> [[Image:IWI X95 Flattop.jpg|thumb|none|400px|IWI X95 Flattop with various accessories - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-TAR-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|IWI X95 Flattop on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-TAR-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Making his way through a flooded slum in Pakistan, Section reloads his X95 Flattop, equipped with a foregrip, Leupold HAMR dual optic and laser pointer.]]<br /> <br /> == M14 Rifle ==<br /> <br /> The [[M14 Rifle]] from ''Black Ops'' reappears in Zombies mode, this time with a black finish instead of wooden furniture. Once again, the in-game model has a pistol grip and folding vertical grip like the M14E2 light machine gun. It is typically one of the first weapons available in a Zombies map, and is effective for a surprisingly long time due to its high accuracy and damage, despite only holding 8 rounds in its 20-round magazine.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:M14E2SAW.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14E2 Light Machine Gun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M14-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character in Zombies mode picks up an M14, filling in its outline on the wall.

It is seen in the hands of Chinese troops at the end of &quot;Fallen Angel&quot; and during &quot;Judgment Day&quot;.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Norinco QBZ95-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco QBZ-95-1 - 5.8x42mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Type25-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|&quot;Type 25&quot; on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Type25-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a &quot;Type 25&quot; as he rescues a man who is apparently not important enough for his name to merit a capital letter.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;SMR&quot;==<br /> <br /> A fictional bullpup battle rifle called the &quot;SMR&quot;, resembling the Tula [[Saritch 308]] and presumably supposed to represent a military version of it, is a common weapon among enemy soldiers in the future levels. In game files it is referred to as the &quot;Saritch&quot;, further cementing the idea that it is supposed to be a military variant of the civilian rifle. In singleplayer it is a slow full-auto rifle by default (not possible on the real Saritch 308, which is semi-auto only), while in multiplayer it is semi-automatic unless the select-fire &quot;attachment&quot; is added. An SMR fitted with an ACOG sight is the 11th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Saritch 308.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Saritch 308 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SMR-menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|&quot;SMR&quot; on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SMR-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section reloads an SMR equipped with a reflex optic. Note the small EOTech logo on the side of the sight; this optic is now actually called &quot;EOTech sight&quot; by the game rather than using the generic &quot;holo sight&quot; label.]]<br /> <br /> == SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO ==<br /> <br /> A [[SIG SG 550#SIG SG 556|SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO]] is available late in the singleplayer campaign, and as a relatively early unlock in multiplayer. While early footage showed it called &quot;SIG556&quot; (which it is still referred to as in the game files), in the final game it is instead called the &quot;SWAT-556&quot;; however, the campaign version is still referred to as &quot;SIG556&quot; when using the higher zoom level of the Leupold HAMR optic. It can fire in three-round bursts, or full-auto mode if the Select Fire &quot;attachment&quot; is equipped (reversed in singleplayer); neither is a normal feature of the real weapon, which is semi-auto only. Other SIG SG 550 variants in reality have these fire modes, though.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Sig556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SIG-Sauer SIG556 HOLO with ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SIG-Menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|SIG556 HOLO on the singleplayer weapon select menu.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SIG-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a SIG556 HOLO with a white ACOG optic at the start of &quot;Fallen Angel;&quot; note that like the SCARs it only has &quot;Safe&quot; and &quot;Fire&quot; settings on its fire selector.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SIG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading shows off the M320 grenade launcher mounted under the handguard, but also the rather worrying fact that the player model does not actually have a rear grip.]]<br /> <br /> ==Sturmgewehr 44==<br /> The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] returns from the previous games, but this time having an impressive fire rate of 750 RPM instead of 500-600 and a slightly increased price. It appears in the &quot;Origins&quot; Zombies map from the &quot;Apocalypse&quot; DLC. While the gun may seem anachronistic (seeing as the map takes place in 1918, while the gun was designed around 1944-45), it is explained in game that the &quot;Mystery Box&quot; has the power to grab weapons from multiple time periods, hence the box featuring an experimental light machine gun in a 1930's Alcatraz ''that's not even on the same plane of existence''. It can be assumed that the StG 44 (and by extension, the MP40) also appeared via this handwave.<br /> [[Image:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-STG44.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soldiers firing their StG 44s.]]<br /> <br /> = Sniper Rifles =<br /> <br /> ==Barrett M107==<br /> <br /> The [[Barrett M107]] model used in ''Modern Warfare 3'', incorrectly referred to as the &quot;Barrett M82A1,&quot; is available in the past and future missions, starting with the level &quot;Time and Fate;&quot; a key part at the end of &quot;Suffer With Me&quot; also involves the use of the Barrett. The normal version is identical to the one from ''MW3'', while the one with the &quot;Variable Zoom&quot; attachment is slightly altered with no lens covers and a raised carrying handle. As in ''MW3'', the model has ejection ports on both sides of the receiver. It is highly anachronistic, since the M107 was not adopted until 2002. This mistake appears to have been made because Barrett have started to market the M107 under the &quot;M82A1&quot; name; an original M82A1 would not actually be particularly anachronistic since the A1 version was developed by 1986, though the first major order of rifles was not made until 1989.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Berrett M107.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Barrett M107 long range sniper rifle - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:M82a1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Original Barrett M82A1 - .50 BMG.

It is similar in power to the other heavy sniper rifles, but slower due to being bolt-action, and it has an incorrect magazine capacity of 5 rounds instead of 3. It is also available in Zombies mode, though like all sniper rifles in that mode it is mostly useless due to zombies not exactly being known for long-range combat. A DSR-50 with a variable zoom scope appears as the 15th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Dsr50.jpg|thumb|400px|none|DSR-50 - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-DSR-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section holds a DSR-50 during the final level as he celebrates someone having the catastrophically bad idea of handing an orbital weapon to the first guy who picks up the controls.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-DSR-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Later, finding he can't use his satellite indoors, he reloads his DSR-50. This one is fitted with a &quot;dual band&quot; sight fitted to the standard scope, a ballistic computer and variable zoom (the oversized elevation turret with a large &quot;V&quot; on it represents this). Note the &quot;DSR Precision&quot; marking on the side of the weapon. The spare magazine stored in front of the pistol grip is sadly never used for anything other than holding the gun (in lieu of using the handguard).]]<br /> <br /> == FN Ballista ==<br /> <br /> The [[FN Ballista]] is a bolt-action sniper rifle available in the future levels. Among its equip options, it can be fitted with illuminated iron sights instead of the default scope; it is the only sniper rifle with such an option outside of Zombies (as the DSR-50 has a similar attachment when Pack-a-Punched). A Ballista with the aforementioned iron sights appears as the 16th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:FNBallista.jpg|thumb|400px|none|FN Ballista - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Ballista-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section holds an FN Ballista as he admires the implausibly small mounting of a drone helicopter's cannon, supposedly 40mm. Visible on the weapon's default scope are a throw lever and cant indicator.]]<br /> <br /> == &quot;Storm PSR&quot; ==<br /> <br /> The &quot;Storm PSR&quot; is a fictional three-barreled sniper rifle based on [[Metal Storm weapons|Metal Storm]] technology, with the ability to queue and fire multiple rounds at a time to penetrate surfaces. This is actually a suggested capability of the Metal Storm system since it is able to make multiple rounds hit the same point, but no weapon design like the PSR currently exists and the weapon is a work of fiction.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Blops2-Storm-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Section holds a &quot;Storm PSR&quot; during the attack on downtown Los Angeles.

Note that the area outside the scope is magnified just as much as the area inside.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Storm-3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Mason reloads the Storm PSR which he presumably got from the same place he got a WA2000 in the previous game. Note the three sets of ten stacked rounds in the en-bloc clip.]]<br /> <br /> == SVD / SVD-M Dragunov ==<br /> <br /> The [[SVD Dragunov]] is first available halfway through the first mission. It is a modified version of the ''Black Ops'' SVD model, with a lower-profile front sight and green synthetic furnishings instead of wood; since it is a modified SVD model, it incorrectly has a synthetic SVD stock rather than the more skeletal -M stock. As before it uses an incorrect modern POSP scope reticle rather than a period PSO-1, and it also completely lacks a flash hider.<br /> <br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov sniper rifle - 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:SVD-TigerCarbine.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Commercial &quot;Tiger Carbine&quot; (aka &quot;Dragunov Tiger&quot;) version sold in the US, with synthetic furnishings used on domestic SVD-M modernized variant - 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SVD-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds his SVD as he takes a relaxing stroll through the jungle.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SVD-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason reloads his SVD; note that the fire selector is in the &quot;safe&quot; position, and also appears to be from an AK rather than the correct one for an SVD.]]<br /> <br /> == SVU Dragunov ==<br /> <br /> The [[SVU Dragunov]] can be used in the 2025 missions, referred to as the &quot;SVU-AS&quot;, and is effectively a high-tech counterpart to the SVD. It features a dark red, carbon fibre-effect foregrip. In the create-a-class menu it is shown with the correct bipod for an SVU/SVU-AS (and a suppressor), but in the actual game it instead has a folded-forward Harris-style bipod; it also lacks select fire, being semi-auto only, making it an SVU. An SVU with a &quot;Dual Band&quot; scope appears as the 14th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Svu-a 2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|SVU Dragunov modernized with black furniture and a bipod - 7.62x54mm R]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SVU-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Farid holds an SVU in &quot;Achilles' Veil,&quot; equipped with a laser pointer, ballistic computer and vile camouflage. Note the HUD displaying an incorrect 12-round capacity.]]<br /> <br /> == &quot;XPR-50&quot; ==<br /> <br /> A semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in .50 BMG. It bears a resemblance to the [[Barrett Model 98 Bravo]], though the latter is bolt-action rather than semi-automatic and is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. In the game files it is referred to as the [[Accuracy International AS50|AS50]], which is particularly semi-auto and chambered in .50 BMG, even though it looks noticeably different from it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:0129481.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Barrett M98B with Harris bipod and Scope - .338 Lapua Magnum]]<br /> [[Image:As50sr.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AS50 - .50 BMG, for comparison.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-XPR50.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The &quot;XPR-50&quot; in the game's menu selection.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-XPR50-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds an XPR-50 as he admires one of the USS ''Barack Obama's'' complement of fictional F/A-38 fighters.

It has a 999 round magazine with no reserve and no reloading animation, and has no iron sights; instead, the iron sight key pre-spins the weapon's barrels. The M134 is effective even against vehicles which are normally immune to gunfire. As before it has an oddly slanted overhead front grip; in &quot;Old Wounds&quot; while riding it can be seen that part of the grip which would normally be covered by the player character's hand is not present at all. In addition, on the PC with the FOV set to 80 the minigun model is slightly too small for the screen and blank space can frequently be seen at the bottom and right of the model as it moves. A slightly altered version of the handheld minigun model is used as a door mount on a gunship in &quot;Achilles' Veil.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Image:Minigun 2.JPG|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]]''.

Like the minigun, it has no iron sights with the aim button instead pre-spinning the barrels, a 999 round magazine with no reserve and no reloading animation. It appears to use the same sound effect normally used for the A-10's GAU-8 in the modern ''Call of Duty'' games. A slightly altered version of this model is also found mounted on drone gun rigs, mostly used by Menendez's PMC troops.<br /> <br /> It is also present in the DLC &quot;Mob of the Dead&quot; Zombies map, where it has a 150 round magazine and a reload animation where it is simply lowered off the screen.<br /> <br /> [[Image:GAU19.jpg|thumb|400px|none|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-GAU-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section wields a futurised GAU-19/A as he vows to infiltrate the jungle base in the loudest manner he possibly can.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-GAU-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Meanwhile over on Alcatraz, Sal opens up on some passing zombies, ejecting a suitably impressive cloud of brass at a nearby fence.]]<br /> <br /> == LSAT Light Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> The [[LSAT|LSAT Light Machine Gun]] is occasionally seen in the hands of US soldiers, most commonly during the new &quot;Strike Force&quot; missions. It appears with a digital ammunition counter beside the belt opening of the drum magazine, which is of great use while playing Hardcore multiplayer matches where the HUD is removed. The markings on the weapon refer to it as &quot;M250,&quot; presumably indicating it has been adopted as a replacement for the M249 SAW.<br /> <br /> [[Image:LSAT.jpg|thumb|400px|none|AAI Corporation LSAT Light Machine Gun with bipod and front and rear sights removed - 5.56x45mm Caseless]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-LSAT-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|During a Strike Force mission, the target &quot;high value individual&quot; reloads her LSAT light machine gun. Note that this gun was apparently made by &quot;Hobotronics Inc.&quot;]]<br /> <br /> == M60E3 Machine Gun ==<br /> <br /> The ''Black Ops'' [[M60 machine gun|M60E3]] model is re-used in the game; as before it is a powerful weapon, but has heavy recoil.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M60E3Short.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M60E3 with short barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M60-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds an M60 as he watches one of his allies attempting to threaten a large rock. This went about as well as one would expect it to.]]<br /> <br /> == Maxim MG08/15 ==<br /> The [[Maxim MG08/15]] appears in the Zombies map &quot;Origins&quot; from the &quot;Apocalypse&quot; DLC. It has an overwrought fire rate of 750 RPM compared to the real 450-500. Additionally, when reloading, the player character isn't seen pulling the belt into action, he simply replaces the belt drum and works the charging handle (a bit like the MG42 from ''Call of Duty: World at War''). There is a lip depicted on the feed tray, but there's now way it could pull the belt on its own.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Maxim MG08-15.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Maxim MG08/15 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2 MG08.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dempsey firing the MG08/15.]]<br /> <br /> == Mk 48 Mod 1 ==<br /> <br /> The [[FN Minimi|Mk 48 Mod 1]] is available in the 2025 levels as a light machine gun, despite technically being a medium machine gun, as it fires a full-sized rifle round rather than an intermediate one. A Mk. 48 with a Leupold HAMR optic appears as the 13th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[File:Mk48mod1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|FN Mk 48 Mod 1 - 7.62x51mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Mk48-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a Mk 48 Mod 1 as he looks over the results of sabotaging his CLAW's Geneva Convention Module.]]<br /> <br /> == Norinco QBB-95 ==<br /> <br /> A [[Norinco QB rifle series#Norinco QBB-95|Norinco QBB-95]] is available as the &quot;QBB LSW&quot;. It has been &quot;futurized&quot; in the same manner as the QBZ-95-1 (i.e. bulkier furniture), and has the trigger guard of the [[QBZ-95]]. It also has a left-handed projection on its charging handle; the player character operates this by taking their hand off the grip. A QBB-95 with a fictional &quot;Target Finder&quot; sight appears as the 12th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[File:QBB95.jpg|thumb|none|400px|QBB-95 - 5.8x42mm]]<br /> [[File:Blops2-QBB95-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a QBB-95 with a laser pointer in &quot;Celerium&quot; as he makes his way through a high-tech factory hidden in the jungle.]]<br /> <br /> == RPD light machine gun ==<br /> <br /> The [[RPD]] is available from the beginning of the game, and can be picked up from the Mystery Box in Zombies mode. In singleplayer it is used by Soviet troops in Afghanistan, at a time when it would have been replaced by the PKM and the RPK-74. It is also seen during the US invasion of Panama in &quot;Suffer With Me.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Image:RPD-Light-Machine-Gun.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|RPD Light Machine Gun - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-RPD-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds a camouflaged RPD as Savimbi's troops storm to victory during the first section of &quot;Pyrrhic Victory.&quot; The RPD model is lifted from ''Modern Warfare 2'', hence the presence of an accessory rail in a level set in the 1980s; Mil-STD-1913, the standard for Picatinny rails, did not exist until 1995.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-RPD-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look at a weapon crate, he finds an unpleasantly camouflaged RPD with a foregrip; strangely, using this attachment switches the handguard on the model to one that appears to be based on that of the Romanian [[AIM]] AK clone.]]<br /> <br /> = Launchers =<br /> <br /> ==Airtronic RPG-7==<br /> The [[Airtronic RPG-7]] appears in the future levels as the &quot;futurised&quot; version of the normal RPG-7 used in the past ones. It is simply called &quot;RPG&quot;, and it is fitted with a futuristic warhead. An Airtronic RPG-7 appears as the 18th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Airtronic RPG7.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Airtronic RPG-7 - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FutureRPG-Model.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game Airtronic RPG-7 model (without the rocket).]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-FutureRPG-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One-off character Farid holds the Airtronic RPG-7. Note that like other rocket launchers it uses the crosshair from the original ''Call of Duty's'' MG42, an art asset that was nine years old when the game came out.]]<br /> <br /> ==FIM-92 Stinger==<br /> <br /> The [[FIM-92 Stinger]] can be unlocked on the loadout screen and is available during the mission in Afghanistan. It is ''very'' inaccurately portrayed as a dual-mode anti-tank / anti-aircraft missile launcher, with an RPG-7 iron sight placed on the folding sight. In anti-tank mode the round can be manually detonated by pressing fire again, while in anti-air mode the weapon will not fire without a lock on. The maximum capacity is twenty launchers, and Stingers are meant to be used as a main weapon throughout &quot;Old Wounds.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Image:-0976t.jpg|thumb|none|400px|FIM-92 Stinger - 70mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Stinger-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alex Mason holds his mutant Stinger as he ponders why anyone would do such a cruel and silly thing to an innocent missile launcher.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Stinger-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With the real sight folded down, this RPG-7 sight is used instead, allowing the missile to be fired directly.]]<br /> [[Image:Blop2-Stinger-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Seemingly nobody has told the Stinger it is supposed to be a flimsy metal tube, since it is quite capable of destroying Soviet tanks with a single shot.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Stinger-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Common sense finally prevails as Mason folds the real sight up; this switches the weapon to lock-on mode.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Stinger-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This uses the same reticle as in previous games; unlike ''Modern Warfare 3'' there is no green target box, and ''Black Ops II's'' more dramatic score frequently drowns out the launcher's lock-on tone.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Stinger-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The launcher proves as effective as it is in any ''Call of Duty'' game.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;FHJ-18 AA&quot;==<br /> <br /> A fictional anti-air launcher, appearing to be a &quot;futurised&quot; [[FIM-92 Stinger]], is available for the 2025 missions and in multiplayer. In multiplayer it can lock on to aircraft and vehicles, while in singleplayer it is only able to lock on to targets which are valid for the Stinger's anti-air mode. It is never found in the campaign, but can be unlocked; however, given its limited range of targets, it is never particularly useful. It is seen being used by Menendez's forces and Menendez himself during &quot;Achilles' Veil.&quot; Interestingly enough, it is named similarly to the Chinese FHJ-84 double-barreled rocket launcher, despite functioning far differently from it.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Blops2-FHJ18AA-Model.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game &quot;FHJ-18 AA&quot; model.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Fictionallauncher-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Menendez holds a spent &quot;FHJ-18 AA&quot; in &quot;Achilles' Veil&quot; after firing the weapon at an American VTOL.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Fakelauncher-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Mason holds an &quot;FHJ-18 AA&quot; as he curses getting the future's least useful weapon in the magical time travel crate.]]<br /> <br /> == GP-30 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> [[GP-series grenade launcher#GP-30|GP-30 grenade launcher]]s are mounted on Russian weapons equipped with launchers in both the past and future levels; the GP30 is also used by the Galil. The player model no longer has a quadrant sight at all, but is the same model as used in previous games. The in-world model, however, still has its right-mounted quadrant sight. Once again, the reload animation includes an incorrect flick of the launcher to eject a spent casing, despite the real GP grenades being caseless.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Gp-30 ak-74.jpg|thumb|none|400px|GP-30 grenade launcher mounted on an [[AK-74]] - 40mm &amp; 5.45x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-GP30-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section reloads the GP-30 mounted under his AN-94. While the grenade model is quite clearly still ''made'' from a standard 40mm round, it at least attempts to approximate the shape of a caseless VOG round for this launcher. The reload animation still includes a flick of the launcher to eject a non-existent spent casing, however.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-GP30-2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Mason takes a close look at the GP30 attached to a PDF soldier's Galil; unlike the player model, this still has a right-mounted quadrant sight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Hawk MM1 grenade launcher==<br /> <br /> The [[Hawk MM1 grenade launcher]] is held by Jonas Savimbi during the first mission as he rides on a Buffel armored truck, and can be unlocked on the loadout screen by completing challenges. It features a capacity of 24 grenades, double of the real 12, and has no iron sights; the screen simply zooms in when the aim button is pressed. Its grenades are also not affected by gravity, acting more like rockets. The contents of the cylinder are ejected on-screen, but afterwards the weapon is reloaded off-screen.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MM1.jpg|thumb|400px|none|MM1 grenade launcher - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At the start of the first mission, &quot;Pyrrhic Victory,&quot; a UNITA fighter hands Jonas Savimbi his Hawk MM1 grenade launcher.]] <br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Savimbi brandishes his Hawk MM1 dramatically as he rides into battle.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amusingly, on trying to fire his MM1 for the first time, Savimbi finds it does not actually work and immediately discards it.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One-off player character Woods holds a Hawk MM1 at the start of &quot;Suffer With Me.&quot;]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|His enemies soon discover he takes the level's name very literally.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MM1-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading the MM1: the player character snaps the launcher open, tips out the entire contents of the cylinder, then drops it below the bottom of the screen.

Note that the white indicator on the fire selector is pointed in completely the wrong direction.]]<br /> <br /> == M203 Grenade Launcher ==<br /> <br /> The [[M203 grenade launcher]] used in this game, unlike most previous entries in the series, has neither a rail attachment point or a removed trigger guard, meaning it is not based on an Airsoft imitation. It is the same model from the first ''Black Ops''.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M203.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M203 grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M203-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason reloads an FN FAL equipped with an M203 grenade launcher.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;M360&quot;==<br /> <br /> This fictional wrist-mounted grenade launcher is available in all future levels, though it cannot be used in the past levels even when the game has been completed as grenades remain era-specific. The grenades themselves are referred to in menus as &quot;XM31,&quot; but the launcher itself has &quot;M360&quot; printed on it, and also includes a line launcher. Holding the grenade button provides an aiming line; the grenades are typical videogame smart grenades, exploding on contact with enemies or on a timer otherwise.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Blops2-M360-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Farid aims his &quot;M360&quot; grenade launcher. Note the red aiming line. The device appears to have a detachable magazine at its midpoint, though it is never reloaded in-game.]]<br /> <br /> ==MGL Mk 1L== <br /> <br /> The [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|MGL Mk 1L]] is referred to as &quot;War Machine.&quot; It is a killstreak reward in multiplayer; it is never found in the singleplayer campaign and can only be accessed via the loadout screen by completing challenges. It suffers from exactly the same reloading issues as the Taurus Raging Judge.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MGL Mk 1 L.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Milkor MGL Mk 1L in desert tan finish fitted with Armson OEG reflex sight - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-MGL-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Fighting his way through the floating city &quot;Colossus,&quot; Section holds an MGL Mk 1L as he admires the results of using it.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW==<br /> <br /> The [[Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW]] uses the same model as in ''Modern Warfare 3''; as before there is no reloading animation, with the entire launcher simply disappearing off-screen, and the weapon can only use the default iron sights despite having a scope rail. The SMAW is only available in the future levels, and apparently has some fictional guided round which can lock on to vehicles and aircraft; cutscenes frequently show SMAW-equipped troops firing the weapons as if they are SAMs. A SMAW appears as the 17th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Mk153SMAW.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW - 83mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-SMAW-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A US soldier in Strike Force mode holds a SMAW as he prepares for the arrival of a CLAW, hoping that he can remember which one is which when the moment of truth comes.]]<br /> <br /> ==RPG-7==<br /> <br /> The [[RPG-7]] is seen in the past levels.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg|thumb|400px|none|RPG-7 - 40mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-RPG7-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds an RPG-7 as he ponders whether this is an appropriate weapon to threaten someone with at close range.

Furthermore, the HUD icon of the SA-14 is used for the campaign version of the &quot;FHJ-18 AA&quot; and the FIM-92A Stinger.<br /> <br /> [[File:SA-14 complete.jpg|thumb|400px|none|SA-14 Gremlin launcher - 72mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Valkyrie-1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Mason holds the &quot;Valkyrie&quot; MCLOS SA-14 launcher, finding he suddenly has a lot less boat than he remembered.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Valkyrie-2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Having discovered the culprit, the missile must be manually steered to hit the fast-moving Hind.

Precisely where or why he was carrying it in the first place is not clear.]]<br /> <br /> == Fictional Grenade ==<br /> <br /> The future hand grenade is a cross between a [[M67 hand grenade]] and a [[Mk 2 hand grenade]]. Strangely, this is the model used for all grenade pickups, even those in the past levels.<br /> <br /> [[File:Baseball.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M67 hand grenade]]<br /> [[File:MK2 grenade DoD.jpg|thumb|none|140px|Mk 2 &quot;Pineapple&quot; High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops 2-Futuregrenade-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason locates a future grenade, made from condensed future.]]<br /> <br /> == M18 smoke grenade ==<br /> <br /> [[M18 smoke grenade]]s are often seen on NPCs in the past levels.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M18red.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M18 smoke grenade]]<br /> <br /> == M112 C4 Demolition Charge ==<br /> <br /> While the C4 charges which can be picked from the equip screen are fictional, the 40lb Cratering Charge used in &quot;Old Wounds&quot; is primed with four M112 demolition charges.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M112.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M112 C4 demolition charge]]<br /> <br /> == M18A1 Claymore ==<br /> <br /> The [[M18A1 Claymore]] used in the game is a &quot;futurised&quot; version, regardless of which era it is used in.<br /> <br /> [[File:M18a1 07.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine]]<br /> <br /> == M26 hand grenade ==<br /> <br /> [[M26 hand grenade]]s can be seen on the chest rigs of various NPCs during the campaign.<br /> <br /> [[Image:200px-M-67handgrenade.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M26 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> <br /> == M34 White Phosphorous grenade ==<br /> <br /> American NPCs in the past levels frequently have [[M34 White Phosphorous grenade]]s on their chest rigs. As in ''Black Ops'', they are incorrectly shown painted green, which was not done in real life before the adoption of NATO STANAG 2321 in 1987: period M34 grenades should be white.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M34 2-1-.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M34 White Phosphorous grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M34-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hudson stops during a mandatory stealth section in &quot;Pyrrhic Victory&quot; as Mason carries an injured Woods, an M34 grenade clearly visible under Hudson's right arm.]]<br /> <br /> == M67 hand grenade ==<br /> <br /> In cutscenes set in the past the most commonly used grenade is the [[M67 hand grenade]]; a young Menendez uses an M67 partway through &quot;Pyrrhic Victory&quot; and a decision by Woods to throw one during &quot;Time and Fate&quot; has major repercussions.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Baseball.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M67 hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M67-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason's attempt to take a young Menendez hostage takes a turn for the worse as he flicks the pin from an M67 hand grenade Mason somehow did not notice him carrying.]]<br /> <br /> == M83 smoke grenade ==<br /> <br /> Soldiers in the future levels have [[M83 smoke grenade]]s rather than the M18s seen in the past levels.<br /> <br /> [[Image:M87.JPG|thumb|none|140px|M83 smoke grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-M83-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section takes some time out from his allegedly urgent escape to check over a dead PMC soldier, finding two M83 smoke grenades on his chest rig.]]<br /> <br /> == M84 stun grenade ==<br /> <br /> The future &quot;flashbang&quot; is a dressed-up [[M84 stun grenade]], which becomes a completely normal M84 body after detonating.<br /> <br /> [[File:M84-Flash-Bang-Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|140px|M84 stun grenade]]<br /> <br /> == Mecar M72 hand grenade ==<br /> <br /> [[Mecar M72 hand grenade]]s can be seen on the chest rigs of various NPCs during the campaign.<br /> <br /> [[Image:325 products mecar 05 JPG 150 150.jpg|thumb|none|140px|Mecar M72 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Mecar-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Mecar M72 is visible to the right of the RGD-5 grenade on Woods' chest as Mason realises the Matrix has him.]]<br /> <br /> == MK3 offensive hand grenade ==<br /> <br /> [[MK3 offensive hand grenade]]s can be seen on the chest rigs of various NPCs during the campaign.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MK3A2.jpg|thumb|none|140px|MK3A2 offensive hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Mk3-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A MK3 offensive hand grenade is clearly visible on Hudson's chest as he and Mason unwisely discuss their daring escape before actually finishing it.]]<br /> <br /> == &quot;Nightingale&quot; ==<br /> <br /> The &quot;Nightingale&quot; is a grenade only available in the singleplayer mission &quot;Suffer With Me,&quot; and uses the same model as the Decoy Grenade from ''Black Ops''. It appears to be an improvised device made using rifle bullets and some kind of clockwork striker array to set them off, making it bounce around and produce gunfire sounds.<br /> <br /> == RGD-5 hand grenade ==<br /> <br /> [[RGD-5 hand grenade]]s can be seen on the chest rigs of various NPCs during the campaign.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rdg5.jpg|thumb|none|140px|RGD-5 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-RGD5-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An RGD-5 grenade is visible among Woods' gear as he complains about the inexplicable presence of sand in Afghanistan.]]<br /> <br /> == VIS-1.6 anti-tank mine ==<br /> <br /> In &quot;Old Wounds&quot; the access kit perk allows recovery of a cache of VIS-1.6 anti-tank mines.

The M2s mounted on SOC-T buggies seen in &quot;Fallen Angel&quot; also lack any ammunition supply.

Multiple Type 1130 30mm 11-barrel CIWS installations can be seen on the deck as opposed to the three installations around the perimeter that the real ship has; these are equipped with their radar, but for some reason do not have the sensor pod which should be mounted on the right of the installation. Most likely it is because in all photographs of ''Liaoning'' available at the time, the pod was covered with a tarp, and the designers did not realise it was concealing part of the installation.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Type1130.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Type 1130 11-barrel CIWS installation on Chinese carrier ''Liaoning'' - 30mm.

As in ''Modern Warfare 3'', it is necessary to get very close to a Hind to see the four openings in the rectangular gun, but they are present.<br /> <br /> [[Image:YakB-12.7.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B - 12.7x108mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-YakB-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Savimbi, clearly not able to contain all his awesomeness in the first part of &quot;Pyrrhic Victory,&quot; rides to the rescue at the end of the second in a hybrid Hind.]]<br /> <br /> = Other =<br /> <br /> == Crossbows ==<br /> <br /> Two crossbow weapons can be acquired in singleplayer by completing 5 challenges in the mission &quot;Karma,&quot; one of them also appearing in multiplayer. Both fire explosive bolts: one is the manually loaded weapon from the first ''Black Ops'', while the second is a reverse-draw crossbow which resembles a Barnett BC Raptor. The whole rear of the latter weapon is a reworked and retextured version of the [[Remington ACR]] player model from ''Modern Warfare 3'' though the fire selector has been moved from the risky &quot;double extra auto&quot; setting to &quot;safe.&quot; This version is somehow fed from a small magazine, which doubles as the handguard, and in multiplayer has the even more unfathomable ability to fire three bolts at once with the correct attachment. This crossbow (unmodified) is the 19th weapon tier in Gun Game.<br /> <br /> The ''Black Ops'' crossbow is similarly a new front end on an existing weapon model: specifically, it is the extensively chopped-up rear receiver of the [[M60 machine gun]] in-world or create-a-class model from either ''Call of Duty 4'' or ''Black Ops'' itself, with the stock mutated into a very basic rifle-style stock. This part of the weapon is only really visible on the menu.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Rem ACR.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Remington ACR with 14.5-inch barrel and fixed stock - 5.56x45mm NATO]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Crossbow-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The ''Black Ops'' crossbow, now called the &quot;Manual Crossbow.&quot; At full size, it has what looks like part of an AR carry handle at the rear: this is actually the remains of the belt feed opening from the M60 model.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Crossbow-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The new repeating crossbow.]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Crossbow-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mason holds the new crossbow as he contemplates a nearby wall.

The models shown are the [[Air Guns#Tippmann 98 Custom|Tippmann 98 Custom]], the Tippmann X7 X36 and probably a variant of the Dye Matrix. The map also has multiple images of a figure with what appears to be a fictional paintball TAR-21.<br /> [[Image:Tippmann 98 Custom.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Tippmann 98 Custom Paintball Marker - .62 caliber]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Paintball.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Tippmann X7 X36 guns are on the right, while the Dye Matrix-looking variants are at the bottom left.]]<br /> <br /> == Raytheon Silent Guardian ADS ==<br /> <br /> A futuristic man-portable version of Raytheon's Silent Guardian Active Denial System, called the &quot;Guardian ADS,&quot; can be chosen as a Scorestreak reward in multiplayer. It projects a microwave field which incapacitates and eventually kills any enemies who enter.<br /> <br /> [[Image:SilentGuardian.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Raytheon Silent Guardian Active Denial System]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Guardian-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The player character in multiplayer looks over his Silent Guardian, glad technology has progressed to the point he does not have to haul a 10,000 pound transmitter and generator assembly around with it.]]<br /> <br /> == SDU-5/E Marker Distress Light ==<br /> <br /> While not actually a weapon at all, this portable IR strobe is used as a grenade in &quot;Suffer With Me,&quot; allowing fire to be called down from an orbiting AC-130 gunship. The version in the game is a retextured version of ''Black Ops''' &quot;Tactical Insertion&quot; device, swapping the incorrect olive drab colour scheme (which was the colour of the SDU-5/E's FG1C flash guard case, not the device itself) for a still-incorrect black.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Orange-beacon-2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SDU-5/E Marker Distress Light]]<br /> [[Image:Orange-beacon-3.JPG|thumb|none|400px|SDU-5/E Marker Distress Light in FG1C flash guard case]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-strobe-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Woods encounters the SDU-5/E, Mason decides to be extremely rude to it. Note that it has the raised base of the flash guard case, but still has the switch and battery cover on the base of the device itself visible.]]<br /> <br /> == &quot;Titus 6&quot; ==<br /> <br /> A fictional weapon which resists conventional classification, the Titus-6 is a combination weapon combining a three-round burst explosive flechette launcher and a two-round burst shotgun. Visually the upper barrel and stock appear to be loosely based on a [[Steyr AUG A3]], with an underbarrel shotgun very slightly resembling an [[M26 MASS]] with the magazine slanted backwards.<br /> <br /> [[Image:1.Steyr AUG A3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr AUG A3 18-inch barrel with Leupold CQ/T scope and Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip - 5.56x45mm]]<br /> [[Image:Blops2-Titus-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Section holds a &quot;Titus-6&quot; as he looks over a grounded drone helicopter.

Isn't STG-44/STG 44 the most commonly-used designation for this assault rifle, for those of us who either don't know or don't want to type out the proper name, Sturmgewehr 44? --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 22:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Info part ==<br /> Isn't the H&amp;K G3 a full size Battle rifle, not an assault rifle?<br /> :Well, in German there are no &quot;battle rifles&quot;, all of them are considered assault rifles<br /> ::In American parlance, a battle rifle fires a 'full sized cartridge' not an intermediate cartridge like the 5.56x45mm or the 7.62x39mm. The weird thing is that SOME gun historians think of the 7.61x51mm as an intermediate cartridge. These are usually the OLD TIMERS who were brought up firing the 30.06, the 7.92 Mauser, the .303R British and the 7.62x54R ammunition and they look with disdain on any 'smaller cartridge'. There are many firearms authors, though, who consider the 7.62x51mm / .308 Winchester as a full fledged full sized rifle round. For the most part, .308 is a full sized rifle round with most people, so the G3 WOULD be a main battle rifle and NOT an assault rifle, just like the FN FAL, the L1A1 and the M14. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 17:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Yeah, but what I wanted to point out: the Sturmgewehr 44 is a German weapon, and it was considered an assault rifle by the Germans (In fact, Hitler invented the German term &quot;Sturmgewehr&quot; to describe the former MP44, and later this term was translated as &quot;assault rifle&quot;). The G3 is a German weapon, too, and it is considered an assault rifle by the Germans. So, both weapons are considered &quot;assault rifles&quot; by the people who invented the term in the first place and who developed both the weapons.<br /> :::So? You are right. The StG-44 (MP44) was the first ASSAULT RIFLE. It was a select fire carbine length rifle firing a new intermediate cartridge. A more perfect definition of an 'assault rifle' cannot be found. So what is the problem here? :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> - Fair enough, however, in general usage/knowledge, 'assault rifles', as MPM said, are considered to fire smaller, 'intermediate' cartridges - either shortened battle rifle rounds (7.92x33 Kurz/7.62x39 M1943) or smaller cartridges all-around (5.56x45/5.45x39), and all with selective-fire. Granted some consider 7.62x51 an 'assault rifle' cartridge, but most others don't. Myself included. And as such, again, in general/common usage, it would not be incorrect to consider the G3 a 'battle rifle'.<br /> <br /> Bah, this page, nor this discussion is really about the G3 or the StG44 for that matter. It's about semantics. Which is just annoying and pointless. In any case, lets just remove the G3 part altogether - It'll preclude any further stubborn and inane debates here as well as eliminate any potential confusion for new readers. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 02:39, 6 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==A silly question in perhaps the wrong place==<br /> Whilst on the subject, would the M1 Carbine be considered an assault rifle due to it's smaller .30 round?[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 11:10, 22 December 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> No, I don't think so. The Carbine was intended to be an extended pistol - something lighter to carry than the M1 or M1903 for officers or weapon specialists, but more range effective even if its less powerful than the .45 pistol. The M2 variant would be closer to an assault rifle on account of its ability for full-automatic fire. [[User:Crackshot|Crackshot]] 12:14, 22 December 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanx[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]]<br /> <br /> ::Hmmmm. According to gun control fanatics, anti gun politicians and the local media ... the M1 Carbine is an EVIL nuclear tipped, toddler killing, maniacal 'assault WEAPON' that deserves to be banned from the planet. So depends on who you ask ;) And yes, this question belongs on the M1 Carbine discussion page [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:53, 24 December 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == names ==<br /> <br /> So, STG44, MP43, and MP44 all mean the same firearm, they aren't all different variants or anything? MasterHunter96--[[User:MasterHunter96|MasterHunter96]] 19:00, 2 August 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Since a lot of this is common knowledge amongst gun experts, '''google''' STG-44 on wikipedia.

These are usually the OLD TIMERS who were brought up firing the 30.06, the 7.92 Mauser, the .303R British and the 7.62x54R ammunition and they look with disdain on any 'smaller cartridge'. There are many firearms authors, though, who consider the 7.62x51mm / .308 Winchester as a full fledged full sized rifle round. For the most part, .308 is a full sized rifle round with most people, so the G3 WOULD be a main battle rifle and NOT an assault rifle, just like the FN FAL, the L1A1 and the M14. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 17:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Yeah, but what I wanted to point out: the Sturmgewehr 44 is a German weapon, and it was considered an assault rifle by the Germans (In fact, Hitler invented the German term &quot;Sturmgewehr&quot; to describe the former MP44, and later this term was translated as &quot;assault rifle&quot;). The G3 is a German weapon, too, and it is considered an assault rifle by the Germans. So, both weapons are considered &quot;assault rifles&quot; by the people who invented the term in the first place and who developed both the weapons.<br /> :::So? You are right. The StG-44 (MP44) was the first ASSAULT RIFLE. It was a select fire carbine length rifle firing a new intermediate cartridge. A more perfect definition of an 'assault rifle' cannot be found. So what is the problem here? :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> - Fair enough, however, in general usage/knowledge, 'assault rifles', as MPM said, are considered to fire smaller, 'intermediate' cartridges - either shortened battle rifle rounds (7.92x33 Kurz/7.62x39 M1943) or smaller cartridges all-around (5.56x45/5.45x39), and all with selective-fire. Granted some consider 7.62x51 an 'assault rifle' cartridge, but most others don't. Myself included. And as such, again, in general/common usage, it would not be incorrect to consider the G3 a 'battle rifle'.<br /> <br /> Bah, this page, nor this discussion is really about the G3 or the StG44 for that matter. It's about semantics. Which is just annoying and pointless.

The Carbine was intended to be an extended pistol - something lighter to carry than the M1 or M1903 for officers or weapon specialists, but more range effective even if its less powerful than the .45 pistol.

For the most part, .308 is a full sized rifle round with most people, so the G3 WOULD be a main battle rifle and NOT an assault rifle, just like the FN FAL, the L1A1 and the M14.

[[Sylvester Stallone]] returns in the 1988 sequel as John Rambo, the former Green Beret, who drops into Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation after his mentor Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) goes missing following a mission. <br /> <br /> The 1988 sequel is an unusual movie in that its production was halted about two thirds into the shooting schedule of the film. ''Rambo III'' was originally scheduled to film almost entirely in Israel (with parts of the opening filmed in Thailand), and many scenes were filmed in ''Eilat'' (the southern most tip of Israel between Jordan and Egypt), using Israeli armorers. However, the spectacle of a major American movie being filmed in the Middle East created a lot of concern about terrorist attacks (to disrupt the production and &quot;send a message to the U.S.&quot;). Before production could be completed, it is said that Israel revoked the production's permission to remain in the country (the rumored reason being security concerns and threats made to the American film crew). Not wishing for a multi-million dollar film to be scrapped, then California State Senator Pete Wilson (R) (a big proponent of the film industry in California and later Governor of the state), helped the production relocate back to Southern California and Arizona. The remaining shots were completed (including many insert shots) using the same talent, but utilizing areas around the American Western Desert, most notably Yuma, AZ for the final battle and Lone Pine, CA for 2nd unit photography. The sudden change from accurate Soviet weaponry (provided by the Israeli armorers) to the typical faux weaponry seen in many American movies, is explained by this sudden relocation back to the U.S. Thus, the appearance in the final battle of mocked up [[Browning M2]] .50 cal Machine guns instead of real Soviet [[DShK]] 12.7mm MGs, etc. as Stembridge Gun Rentals took over the final shoot (back in the States). Most notably, the armored vehicles at the final battle changed from the authentic and original Soviet armored vehicles from the middle of the film, to the modified American tanks in the climatic final battle. These were provided by Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California (the company who notably produced these very good mockups of Soviet armor for the original ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]''). Only aficionados of armored fighting vehicles would notice the change.<br /> <br /> Stallone would not return to the character until 20 years later with 2008's ''[[Rambo (2008)|Rambo]]''.<br /> <br /> {{Film Title}}<br /> __TOC__&lt;br clear=all&gt;<br /> <br /> {{spoiler}}<br /> <br /> =Assault Rifles=<br /> ==AK-47==<br /> Seen carried by the Mujahideen and by armed tribal members in Peshawar, Pakistan. The ones in the early parts of the film are authentic USSR-made [[AK-47]]s. These were all captured enemy arms, taken during the many wars between Israel and their neighbor nations. Israeli movie armorers have access to tons of authentic captured Soviet weaponry over the years, and any film shot in Israel would have real Soviet guns.<br /> [[Image:AK-47.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Type I AK-47, hybrid stamped/milled receiver with prototype slab sided magazine - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AK47.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Tribal member in Peshawar holds an AK-47.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AK47a.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|600px|Mujahideen fighters hold a council with Rambo, many holding AK-47s.

Since this sequence was filmed in Israel, one can assume these are authentic Soviet AK-47 Milled receiver weapons. <br /> [[File:DeactivatedAKS(1954-59).jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKS-47 (underfolder stock) - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AK47S RussianA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Soviet soldiers make their rounds carrying the AKS-47 underfolder assault rifles.]]<br /> <br /> ==AKM==<br /> Full-stock [[AKM]]s are used by the Mujahideen and the Soviets. John Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) and Colonel Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) also use AKMs on numerous occasions throughout the film. The ones used while filming in Israel are real Soviet AKM rifles. The ones used while filming in the United States were Egyptian-made Maadi ARM rifles (the American imported versions of the MISR). <br /> [[Image:AKMRifle.jpg‎ |thumb|none|450px|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AKMa.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Col.

In a historical context, this is not an anachronism, since China supplied many Type 56 rifles to the Mujahideen fighters (by way of Pakistan) during the 1980s.<br /> [[Image:Type56S.jpg|thumb|450px|none|Norinco Type 56-1 Underfolder AK variant - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-Type56FireA.jpg‎‎|thumb|600px|none|Mousa ([[Sasson Gabai]]) fires his Type 56-1 rifle to save Rambo from a charging Soviet soldier.

The traditional muzzle brake of the AMD-65 was replaced with an Israeli Blank fire adapter (also seen on the other AK variants). The same AMD-65 type rifles were also wielded by Soviet tankers (ironically, wearing the same 'faux' Soviet winter tanker uniforms made for the film ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]''.)<br /> [[Image:AMD65Short.jpg‎ |thumb|450px|none|Hungarian AMD-65 as seen in the film.

The ones in the film, however featured obvious underfolder stocks as well as 7.62x39mm-style magazines. A faux AK-74 style muzzle brake was put on the rifles. Remember that this was filmed in 1987, and no AK-74 or 5.45mm guns existed in the United States (or our allies) at this time. <br /> [[Image:AKS-74.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Actual AKS-74 (shown for comparison) - 5.45x39mm.

III|SMLE (No 1 Mk III)]] in the movie, however it is very possible that they were used in the mass scenes of horsemen. The Vast majority of rifles seen clearly seen being carried by any combatant on film are AK-47s, Mauser Kar98ks, Mosin-Nagant M91/30s and Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.Is. When Rambo was in Peshawar, a number of Afghans in the crowded street were seen with No.1 MkIII* rifles slung over their shoulders while Rambo was heading to the arms dealer.<br /> [[Image:SMLE.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III* - .303 British]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-HorsemenA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|It is possible that some horsemen carry the Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*, which would be historically accurate.]]<br /> <br /> ==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I==<br /> [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]]s are seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters throughout the film.<br /> [[Image:LeeEnfield4Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I - .303 British]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-No4Mk1a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A man is seen with a No.4 Mk 1 rifle slung over his right shoulder in the Arms bazaar in Peshawar, Pakistan. He is likely an Afghan expat, having crossed over the border of Afghanistan, but many remote Pakistani tribals, especially those on the Afghan border, are so armed as well.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mauser Karabiner 98k==<br /> [[Karabiner 98k]]s are seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters thoughout the film. A Kar98k is notably wielded by the youth fighter Hamid ([[Doudi Shoua]]). Since most of the film was made in Israel, it is likely that the Mauser Kar98k rifles that were used were Israeli Mauser Kar98k rifles chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO.<br /> [[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Karabiner 98k - German manufacture 1937 date - 7.92x57mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-k98 03a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A Mujahideen holds a Kar98k rifle at the tribal council.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-K98 boyA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Hamid ([[Doudi Shoua]]) holds a Kar98k when he tracks Rambo at night.]]<br /> <br /> ==Mosin Nagant M91/30==<br /> [[Mosin Nagant M91/30]]s are seen in the hands of Mujahideen fighters thoughout the film.<br /> [[Image:M9130.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Full-length Mosin Nagant M91/30 - 7.62x54R]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-MosinNaganta.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Mujahideen holds a Mosin Nagant M91/30 Rifle.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-MosinNagant02a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Hamid ([[Doudi Shoua]]) holds an M91/30.]]<br /> <br /> ==SKS==<br /> An [[SKS]] is seen in the weapons shop by the Peshawar Arms Dealer.<br /> [[Image:Simonov-Russian-SKS45.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SKS rifle - 7.62x39mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-SKS02a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A row of SKS rifles are seen in the background.]]<br /> <br /> ==SVD Dragunov==<br /> Rambo is seen briefly carrying an [[SVD Dragunov]] after crash-landing the Hind helicopter. Considering the time frame, it is likely that the rifle is a Norinco NDM-86, the Chinese clone of the SVD rifle, since the NDM-86 was readily available for commercial sale during the late 1980s. Rambo is seen in a deleted scene using the SVD to take down several Soviets before it runs out of ammunition and is discarded.<br /> [[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SVD Dragunov sniper rifle - 7.62x54R]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-SVD 01A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rambo holds an SVD rifle when conferring with the escaped prisoners.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-SVD 02A.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Closeup of Rambo's SVD rifle.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-SVD 03A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) holds the SVD at the ready.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIISVD-DS-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In a deleted scene, Rambo takes aim with the SVD rifle as Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]) spots for him.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIISVD-DS-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up on the receiver of the SVD.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIISVD-DS-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up on the muzzle of the SVD.]]<br /> <br /> =Submachine Guns=<br /> ==PM-63==<br /> A [[PM-63]] is used by Colonel Zaysen ([[Marc de Jonge]]) during the interrogation scene.<br /> [[Image:PM63.JPG|thumb|350px|none|PM-63 RAK - 9x18mm Makarov]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-PM63a.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Colonel Zaysen holds his PM-63 to the throat of Col.

Weapon supplied by Ellis Mercantile.<br /> [[File:M2Air.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning AN/M2, flexible mount - .30-06 Springfield]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-M1919ModA.jpg‎ |thumb|600px|none|Soviet soldier fires a mocked up Soviet MG, made from an AN/M2 machine gun.]]<br /> <br /> ==FN MAG==<br /> An [[FN MAG]] is seen as one of the machine guns on the fake Soviet Hind helicopters.<br /> [[Image:FN_MAG.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Israeli FN MAG on display - 7.62x51mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FNMAGa.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|FN MAG-58 mounted as the door weapon on a fake Hind Helicopter]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FNMAG-02a.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|FN MAG-58 with buttstock removed, used by the Soviet door gunner]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FNMAG58TankerA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Rambo ducks past another FN MAG (with a fake barrel extension) mounted to the turret of the faked T-72 tank.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-Mag58 03A.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Rambo runs past another FN MAG-58 (with a fake barrel extension) mounted to fake Hind Helicopter gunship.]]<br /> <br /> ==Browning M2HB==<br /> In the final battle, Rambo is also seen using a [[Browning M2HB]] mounted to a 'light blue pickup truck' and modified with another fake barrel shroud to disguise the weapon's origins.<br /> [[File:BrowningM2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB on vehicle mount - .50 BMG (12.7x99mm NATO)]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-MockedUp50A.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rambo fires a mocked up M2 .50 cal on a truck.]]‎<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-mockedUp50 02A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|A disguised M2 mounted on a standard pintle, with a four point 'tower' mount.

This is one of the very rare instances (for a film of the era) that a real DShK (rather than a fake one made out of an American gun like a Browning M2 .50 cal) is used in an American Motion Picture. The scenes where a real DShK was used were filmed in Israel, using real Soviet weaponry courtesy of the Israeli Armorers.<br /> [[File:DSHK.jpg|thumb|none|400px|DShKM on tripod - 12.7x108mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-DSHKa.jpg‎ |thumb|600px|none|Rambo readies the authentic DShK Heavy Machine Gun.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-DSHK 02a.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Rambo racks the charging handle on his DShK.

Rather than do the obvious thing and grab the AKMS with folding stock on the sandbags, the sentry tries to rotate the large heavy machine gun around to kill Rambo, but he is too slow and Rambo ends up killing him.]]<br /> <br /> ==Oerlikon 20mm AA gun (Acetylene Gas Mockup)==<br /> A [[Oerlikon 20mm Cannon|Oerlikon 20mm AA gun]] is used in the final battle, wielded by Col. Trautman ([[Richard Crenna]]), however it is mysteriously missing a rear sight and (most importantly) the drum magazine - This is an auto cannon with no ammunition. The one used in the film was an 'acetylene' gun (a real weapon mocked up with Acetylene gas internals to 'fake firing'). This method is used many time in either helicopter mounted guns (for safety) and heavy machine guns. They fire a 'flash of fire' rather slowly to simulate the firing of a large machine gun round. Supplied by Ellis Mercantile for the film during the re-shoot of the final battle in the U.S.<br /> [[Image:20mm Oerlikon Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Oerlikon Cannon - 20mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-20mmA.jpg‎|thumb|600px|none|Trautman mans a fake Oerlikon 20mm gun.

Note: It is highly unlikely that a 20mm auto cannon would be mounted to a lightweight vehicle like a jeep. Even a .50 Cal MG would need special plates to keep from ripping itself from the mount of a lightweight vehicle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Gatling Gun (Mockup)==<br /> A fake mockup of a M134-style [[Minigun]] is mounted (with a very lightweight mount) to the front nose of the fake Soviet Hind Helicopter Gunship. It fires (very weakly) a fake Acetylene fire blast during some of the fly by sequences. Most of the time in the movie, the firing of the helicopter's Minigun is implied, using ground squibs and sound effects. It is supposed to be a stand in for the real '''12.7 mm YakB machine gun''' that is mounted on the real Mil MI-24 &quot;Hind&quot; gunships. The YakB Gatling gun is a rotating four barrel gun similar to the M134.<br /> [[Image:M134.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Actual GE M134 Minigun (7.62x51mm) for comparison.]]<br /> [[Image:YakB-127mm.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Actual Soviet YakB 12.7mm Gatling gun for comparison.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FakeMinigun01a.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The fake Minigun is seen firing flame bursts during flybys on the battlefield.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FakeMiniGun02A.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|600px|A better detail shot of the fake M134 minigun firing Acetylene flame bursts in flight. In reality the nose gun would be the much larger 12.7 mm YakB machine gun, but that gun is only seen on the real Mil MI-24 Hind helicopters.]]<br /> <br /> =Other=<br /> ==M203 grenade launcher (fitted underneath AKM)==<br /> Lacking the Soviet 40mm BG-15 grenade launcher, which was mounted to the real AK-74 rifles in the Russo-Afghan war, the movie armorers merely attached a U.S. made [[M203 grenade launcher]] to a Maadi AKM (ARM) rifle (with an aftermarket side folding stock). It is first seen wielded by Sgt. Kourov (Randy Raney). Rambo later takes the weapon and uses it at the final battle. The mating of an M203 to an AK has been done much later (in the 21st century) by militias in Africa and there are some Communist (or former Communist) bloc 'clones' of the M203, but none of these were available in the 1980s, and a Spetnaz NCO would be using front line Soviet armament, thus making this combination unlikely and anachronistic.<br /> <br /> According to armorer [[User:Phoenixent|Steve Karnes]], the AK was Soviet-made with a Colt M203 and a Galil folding stock that was supplied to the production by an Israeli company.<br /> [[Image:M203.jpg|thumb|none|375px|M203 grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3 M203-2A.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Kourov (Randy Raney) fires his AKM/ARM with the M203 mounted underneath.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AKM203CUA.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|Closeup of the mounting device which attaches the M203 to the rifle.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-AKM203CU2A.jpg‎ ‎|thumb|none|600px|Closeup detail of the real M203 launcher attached to the AKM rifle.

Soviet soldiers can also be seen with these grenades on their jackets. In reality, the Red Army and their allies would be using the [[RGD-5 hand grenade|RGD-5]] or later generations of fragmentation grenades.<br /> [[Image:Deactivated f1.jpg|thumb|none|150px|F-1 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Soviet F-1 Hand Grenades used as trip wire explosives.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIIgrenade-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of the Soviet F-1 grenades almost goes off before Rambo stops the booby trap from exploding.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-RGD1-03.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Detail shot of the F-1 Grenade on Kourov's web gear.

Kourov's grenade to loosen his bear grip during a fight.]]<br /> <br /> ==Fake Helicopter Rocket Pods==<br /> Seen mounted on the fake Hind Helicopter and other attack helicopters, these are completely built props to fire acetylene gas bursts and pyrotechnic charges.<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-HINDRocketsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Special effects made rocket pods for the fake Hind Helicopter]]<br /> <br /> ==Rambo's Survival Knife==<br /> Unlike the first two films, Rambo's knife is not a survival knife in this film. Instead, it is a modified bowie design by knife artist [https://www.hibbenknives.com/MovieKnives.htm Gil Hibben] in collaboration with Stallone.<br /> [[Image:Rambo_knife_3.JPG‎|thumb|none|450px|Rambo III Survival Knife]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIIknife-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rambo searches for land mines with his knife.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-KnifeA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rambo uses his knife to cut barbed wire on the base perimeter.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIIknife-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rambo drops his knife while fighting with the big Soviet soldier.]]<br /> <br /> ==Hoyt Archery Rambo Compound Bow==<br /> As in ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]'', the custom takedown Compound Bow is Rambo's weapon of choice when he wants to kill silently, or with blue cyalume light sticks or Torque arrows to 'explode a helicopter' (!)<br /> <br /> The Hoyt bow pictured below is the version created for ''Rambo: First Blood Part II''. The bow used in ''Rambo III'' differs slightly in that the flashlight is removed (which was only seen in night entry sequence in the camp in the previous film) and an on-board arrow quiver is added. <br /> [[Image:Rambo.jpg‎|thumb|none|400px|Rambo's Hoyt Archery Compound Bow]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-Bow 02A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rambo assembles his Hoyt Archery Custom Compound bow when an enemy helicopter approaches.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-Bow01A.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Rambo ([[Sylvester Stallone]]) fires his explosive tip arrows at the helicopter gunship. Gotta love that 1980s mullet hair!.]]<br /> [[Image:RamboIIIbow-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rambo fires an arrow with an attached blue cyalume light at the Soviets in the cave.]]<br /> <br /> =Weapons Platforms=<br /> ==&quot;Faux&quot; Mil Mi-24 &quot;Hind&quot; Gunship==<br /> The &quot;Mi-24 Hind&quot; gunships seen in the film are in fact Aérospatiale Puma helicopters, first modified for the 1984 film ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]'' and subsequently seen in the preceding Rambo movie, ''[[Rambo: First Blood Part II]]''. For the filming of ''First Blood Part II'', the Hind-A-style noses from ''Red Dawn'' were removed since they limited the pilot's field of view and were in constant risk of being torn off during violent maneuvers. However, the wings and rocket pods were a much more stable and permanent modification to the Puma helicopter and were retained. For ''Rambo III'', the aircraft received some minor additional cosmetic modifications, including the removal of the black nose bulge seen in the previous film (replaced with a searchlight), the addition of a fake cannon beneath the nose that could fire simulated acetylene muzzle blasts, and a new desert camo scheme. A similar (but far less convincing) &quot;Faux Hind&quot; modification was done to another type of helicopter for the films ''[[Bulletproof (1988)|Bulletproof]]'', ''[[Braddock: Missing in Action III]]'' and ''[[Red Scorpion]]'', utilizing a Sikorsky S-62.<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FakeMiniGun02A.jpg‎|thumb|none|601px|The &quot;Hind&quot; as seen in ''Rambo III''. Note the acetylene-firing cannon under the nose, a new addition since the previous film.]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3_214.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The &quot;Hind&quot; as seen in ''Rambo III''.]]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Faux&quot; Soviet attack helicopter==<br /> Joining the Hind gunships in this film are smaller attack helicopters, which in reality were Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelles modified with wing mounted launchers, machine guns, and short nose extensions. They do not particularly resemble any real Soviet military helicopter.<br /> [[Image:Rambo3 238.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|The smaller Soviet attack helicopters were in reality Aérospatiale SA341G Gazelles modified with wing mounted launchers and machine guns.]]<br /> <br /> ==Authentic Soviet T-62 Main Battle Tank==<br /> Rambo ducks under and hitches a ride underneath an authentic Soviet T-62 Tank. This was the night compound sequence filmed in Israel, (which was the only way an American film could obtain a Soviet tank, since no motion picture vehicle company in the U.S. had access to real Soviet Armor, especially a relatively recent tank like the T-62, during the time frame of this film).<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-T62A.jpg‎‎|thumb|none|600px|A real Soviet T-62 Tank moves over a hill during the night compound sequence in ''Rambo III'']]<br /> <br /> ==&quot;Faux&quot; Soviet T-72 Main Battle Tank==<br /> When the production was forced to relocate to the United States, the movie's access to real Soviet vehicles suffered. The Soviet armored vehicles in the final battle were taken straight from the 1984 film ''[[Red Dawn (1984)|Red Dawn]]''. This includes the film's mock-up of a Soviet T-72 tank, built on the chassis of an M8A1 Cargo Tractor by Veluzat Armored Vehicles out of Newhall, California. <br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FakeT72A.jpg‎|thumb|none|602px|Rambo miraculously manages to drive a tank, fire the main gun and reload it, with no other crewmen in the vehicle, while charging a helicopter!]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-FakeT72 08A.jpg‎|thumb|none|603px|Detail shot of the fake mocked up T-72 Soviet tank sitting in a &quot;hull-down&quot; position.

This was filmed in 1987 so we would see the early ancestors of today's EOTech or Aimpoint sights.<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-HoloSightA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Spetsnaz commando searches the cave with an early aimpoint or holographic sight attached to his AK rifle.]]<br /> <br /> ==Fake Soviet Uniforms==<br /> Not a weapon, but worth noting, the Soviet soldiers were outfitted years before any surplus came out of Soviet or any of the Eastern bloc nations. The actors wore a bunch of stuff that no Soviet soldier would be caught 'dead' wearing ....<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-BoonieHatsA.jpg‎|thumb|none|600px|Soviet soldiers wear French Tropical hats in place of the correct Soviet desert boonie hats]]<br /> [[Image:Rambo3-ChineseHatsA.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|More &quot;Soviet&quot; extras in the Arizona desert.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past. I've heard that A3s were sold as samples to France, U.K. and Germany (but that was a casual comment that I heard years ago). There 'could' be A3s in the armories of foreign movie productions. That is a completely grey area with which I have no one to verify anything. :( [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :This is strange.

Externally, they look identical, however the A3 is full auto and the A2 is 3 shot burst. Simply put: A1 and A3 are full auto, A2 and A4 are 3 shot burst. The external differences are what make it a little easier to identify. We all know what an A1, A2, and A4 M16 look like, but the A3 is just an A2 that is full auto.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

Every detail is intentional and exactly how its supposed to be even though its not a real picture, just so everyone knows that. ;)<br /> [[Image:M4A1COD4.jpg]]<br /> <br /> :It would be a hybrid commercial AR variant. It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 19:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Actually, Stan, my understanding is that it's the opposite. The M4 is the most common version, not the M4A1. U.S. military doctrine still discourages full-auto for infantry rifles, so it seems unlikely to me that the M4A1 is going to be more common. As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt. And so should older M16s. Modern M16s (M16A3 &amp; M16A4), since they have ''at least'' 3 official manufacturers (Colt, Fabrique Nationale and Sabre Defence), should go without Colt. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 06:37, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> For the record, the M4/M4A1 was sole-source production from Colt between initial adoption up until just recently. This was because, unlike the M16, Colt was sole owner of the M4 technical data package. The US government providing this TDP to other manufacturers (Bushmaster, etc.), who built their own M4 carbines from it, was one of the reasons of the &quot;M4&quot; lawsuit.

I think that could have been a contribution to the gun exploding in his hands. But then again, I'm not the expert on M16 rifles, I'm only guessing.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

If you are talking about the Model 733, that is not really related to the XM177s. US forces purchased a small number of Model 733s for Special Forces and was called the M16A2 commando, although Colt later offered it as the M4 Commando. Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it.

The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Heck, I can pull up a pic of a flat-topped GUU-5/P that to the untrained (or uncaring) eye would be identified as an M4A1, but isn't because it uses a slab-sided pre-A1 lower receiver.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail).

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

If the gun is modelled with a 30 round mag and has a capacity of 50 then it is incorrect, just as a gun modelled with a 20 round mag holding 30 rounds is incorrect.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

It wasn't until June 1985 when a contract was signed with Colt to deliver XM4 prototype rifles that a design was actually cemented and it was given its actual designation: <br /> ::::''&quot;Design to utilize the newly adopted M855 Ball and M856 tracer cartridges. Also to be compatible with existing M193 Ball and M196 tracer ammunition as well as M200 blank cartridges. The carbine will use the current M16A2 upper receiver and three-round limited burst control. The carbine will use an improved handguard to enhance firing/handling under normal operation conditions. The carbine shall have a collapsible/sliding stock. Barrel should be 14 1/2 inches in length. Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (MRBS) will equal or exceed 600 rounds when using issue M855 ammunition. The carbine will be configured to accept MILES laser transmitter as well as the M203 grenade launcher.&quot;''<br /> :::I imagine that it was always their intent to use A2 receivers, as when the program was first launched they wanted maximum parts compatibility with the standard issue M16A2 (which was adopted by the USMC in 1983, a year before they started looking into a new carbine). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:43, 13 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 Toy Gun ==<br /> <br /> I found this image in the IMFDB page for [[The Green Berets]].

Even though the M4 has the SIR handgurad, it's possible for the XM177 has a SIR handgurad.

There aim is to make extra variants so they can make more money while still using the moulds that they have. That is why all of these guns use A1 style receivers, like [[Media:WellFire M16A2 airsoft.jpg|this &quot;M16A2&quot;]] and [[Media:Wellfire M4 RIS.jpg|this &quot;M4A1 RIS&quot;]]. The latter has a flat top, but it is still missing the brass deflector as the mould is based off of an A1 one. Also, note that all 3 of these guns use the same M4 profile barrel which has been chopped off at the front of the M203 step. Similarly, they all use A1 pistol grips to save on different parts. None of the cheap springers like this (even if they have different brand names they tend to be made in the same factories or use the same tooling) are very accurate replicas of particular guns, as that is not their goal. They want to crank out as many varieties as they can for as little cost as possible. Lastly, the flash hider is irrelevant to anything, as it is neither an A1 or A2 as it is symmetric like the A1 but this flash hider only has 4 ports rather than the correct 6. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 16:55, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Rare XM177s ==<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Handgaurd.jpg]]<br /> <br /> A Rare handguard with a 57mm recoilless rifle shell during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Prototype?.jpeg]]<br /> <br /> I think this is a prototype Handguard.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 With A1 Hider.jpg]]<br /> <br /> XM177E1 with A1 Flash Hider used by the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 00:12, 4 January 2018 (EST)<br /> :::Your personal sandbox is probably a better place for this.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration.

By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s?

It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action.

You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s. While it may admittedly be a bit finicky, the M16 today is a good weapon.

The belief that it was is a myth, one of the ''many'' surrounding the weapon system. It was an &quot;educated&quot; assumption made based on previous experiences with the AR-15's predecessor, the AR-10, which ''did'' prove to be quite reliable without maintenance or cleaning (I believe it was the Sudanese who used it in sub-Saharan Africa and gave reviews that were nothing short of glowing). Now whether AR-10s manufactured today share this trait, I don't know.

Although there were cleaning kits they were only issued at a rate of something like 2 per platoon, as it was not believed that the weapon would require regular maintenance. When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

[[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 17:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Though I don't know for certain, I wouldn't imply Spec-Ops units use ''only'' the new HK rifles - As you've said, it all depends on what's around, and to a degree what the soldiers prefer (in the case of Special units). Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 19:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Actually, Stan, my understanding is that it's the opposite. The M4 is the most common version, not the M4A1. U.S. military doctrine still discourages full-auto for infantry rifles, so it seems unlikely to me that the M4A1 is going to be more common. As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

According to a book I've got, that decision went over like a lead balloon with the AWG. -<br /> <br /> thank god. im not a huge fan of the SCAR-L i find it pointless. if you want to go with a new alternative to the M4/M16. why the hell would you take an unfamiliar weapon. alas the hK416. same rate of fire. same Picatanny rail, same attachments, same stock, same barrel, same trigger group, and extremely similiar internals. and Stan, i do agree. if i made it sounds like all SF use the hK416, i didnt mean to. i/we really DONT no what they all use. they pick their own. they could carry an AK-47 or a CAR-15 if they wanted to. we cant make generalizations about units that get custom made equipment.

It was the 3-round burst rifle, but a question came up about the M4A1. One Marine said that they got rid of all M4A1s and only have M4s. I personally don't see the need for a full-auto rifle and 3-round burst is fine because it forces the user to slow down and most of the time the user uses semi-only, combat or not, but that is my opinion.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside). It also notes some commercial AR-15 carbines are given an 'M4' moniker, but aren't the same as actual military M4s.

Either way, I would imagine that quite a few M16s or M4s in movies are manufactured by companies other than Colt, and even the US military rifles are not necessarily made by Colt these days. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:43, 3 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I am curious... if the military M4 and M16 are not made by Colt these days then by whom? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 14:58, 6 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::There was a stretch in the 1990s when Colt lost the military contract and all the M16s were built by Fabrique Nationale (FN).

If there ARE any other manufacturers being represented on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, someone needs to find out.

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point. The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet.

Then you have the flat-top Colt Model 901 which was introduced at the same time as the M16A4 (in 1994 I think) and I'm assuming this is the version that the above page refers to. You also have the Colt Models 941 and 942 which are the HBAR and HBAR LMG models respectively, but I don't know if they are used.

Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604.

However, I guarantee you that no guns in games actually have the correct four position selector, as it looks different to the standard one.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers).

It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for.

Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me. The telescoping stock isn't much of an identifier as to the model of the weapon; the standard stock can be easily swapped out for third-party aftermarket stocks (in fact you'll note that there are images of the M4 with both four and six-position stocks on this site). As for the forward assist button, it can be swapped out just as easily as the stock. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:11, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::The forward assist and stock are secondary, they just add to the likelihood of it not being a Colt gun. Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

[[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 02:37, 10 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> :Here's a pic of one from season 4 (I made a special effort to get good shots of the rail when capping it):[[File:Strike Back S04E01 037.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]My theory about these is that they are fixed carry handle uppers that have been modified (I made a [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2081 topic] about this possibility in the forum due to the show having a flat top sniper AR-15 that somehow had what otherwise appeared to be an SP1 upper). If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

It wasn't just that piece at the rear though - There's a discoloration/demarcation behind the ejection port, which, on the 2D flat-on image, looks kinda like the angled rake for a forward assist - Most slab uppers look clearly and continuously smooth all the way back in most of all the other AR images, which is why I got thrown off -<br /> [[Image:Colt-Sporter-I-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colt Sporter I Carbine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:ColtSporterIIw30RdMag.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colt Sporter II Carbine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> Still looks off a bit, but thinking about it, the image isn't high-detail so that doesn't help.

Originally I thought it was just discolouration on the upper making that mark (as it is not in quite the right place for the forward assist forging as I think it goes too far forward). On closer inspection though it looks like it is a transparent overlay of an A1 upper over a slickside one. I have tried to tweak it in photoshop to correct this and updated the image. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:44, 15 June 2014 (EDT)<br /> :: Looks substantially better there, thanks C552.

Note that on the upper receiver there is no ejection port, and on the lower there is no magazine release and the selector switch is visible. I do not know if they have simply gotten the textures reversed (in that on the left side of the gun there are all the right side features) but my guess is that more likely they only have a texture for one side of the gun and mirrored it.

It states at the end of the M4 description paragraph that a court ruled that the name &quot;M4&quot; refers to a ''type'' of firearm, but this is factually false. It refers to a ''specific'' firearm, just like &quot;Prius&quot; refers to a specific car and &quot;Portland&quot; refers to a specific city. So by this court's logic, I should be well within my right to build a pick-up truck and market it as an F-150 with Ford unable to do a thing about it. So if you ask me, Colt had a legitimate beef in that other manufacturers were marketing their clones as &quot;M4 carbines&quot; when Colt was producing the ''real'' M4 carbine. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 06:19, 2 September 2015 (EDT)<br /> :Even Colt use the term &quot;M4&quot; as a type though rather than a specific weapon though, they have probably had about a dozen different guns that have been marked and marketed as an &quot;M4&quot; of one kind or another. Lets not forget, it isn't like Colt actually came up with the M4 designation. Their original weapon was the Colt Model 920 which the US designated as the M4. Just like the M16s, if they are made by a company other than Colt they will still be M4s so as far as I see it Colt don't have a monopoly on the term. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:25, 2 September 2015 (EDT)<br /> ::That's what I was thinking.

M4 is a designation that was put on the rifle by the US Military, not Colt. Thus Colt doesn't 'own' the name and can't apply it to the civilian version of their product. That's like DODGE RAM trucks suing anyone who makes an outwardly similar version of the CUCV / M880 Utility truck and sells it as such.

Not sure, but I think that Colt had even stopped making the slickside uppers by this point, as I think that the last SP1s were in 1985 and they were using up existing stock. It wasn't until June 1985 when a contract was signed with Colt to deliver XM4 prototype rifles that a design was actually cemented and it was given its actual designation: <br /> ::::''&quot;Design to utilize the newly adopted M855 Ball and M856 tracer cartridges. Also to be compatible with existing M193 Ball and M196 tracer ammunition as well as M200 blank cartridges. The carbine will use the current M16A2 upper receiver and three-round limited burst control. The carbine will use an improved handguard to enhance firing/handling under normal operation conditions. The carbine shall have a collapsible/sliding stock. Barrel should be 14 1/2 inches in length. Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (MRBS) will equal or exceed 600 rounds when using issue M855 ammunition. The carbine will be configured to accept MILES laser transmitter as well as the M203 grenade launcher.&quot;''<br /> :::I imagine that it was always their intent to use A2 receivers, as when the program was first launched they wanted maximum parts compatibility with the standard issue M16A2 (which was adopted by the USMC in 1983, a year before they started looking into a new carbine). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:43, 13 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 Toy Gun ==<br /> <br /> I found this image in the IMFDB page for [[The Green Berets]].

There aim is to make extra variants so they can make more money while still using the moulds that they have.

The latter has a flat top, but it is still missing the brass deflector as the mould is based off of an A1 one. Also, note that all 3 of these guns use the same M4 profile barrel which has been chopped off at the front of the M203 step. Similarly, they all use A1 pistol grips to save on different parts. None of the cheap springers like this (even if they have different brand names they tend to be made in the same factories or use the same tooling) are very accurate replicas of particular guns, as that is not their goal. They want to crank out as many varieties as they can for as little cost as possible.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above.

By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'. They're in the hands of everyone so it is invevitable.<br /> :Even Iran uses a variant of the M16A1, a copy of the Norinco CQ called the ''S-5.56'', as their standard rifle.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

I'm not saying the M16/M4 is a complete piece of crap, but it's definitely not the BEST ASSAULT RIFLE IN THE WORLD! like we Americans like to state all the time (*rolls eyes*). You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue. I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

As for the M4 and M4A1, well it ''does'' say the difference in the section but to answer - the M4 has Safe-Semi-Burst fire selection ala the M16A2/M16A4, the M4A1 has full-automatic instead of burst, ala the earlier M16s/M16A1/M16A3. Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside).

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point.

Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer?

So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Updated and longer (by about 1&quot;) rear buttstock and thicker buttplate, slight finger ledge on the pistol grip about midway down.

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

US forces purchased a small number of Model 733s for Special Forces and was called the M16A2 commando, although Colt later offered it as the M4 Commando. Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

You can actually buy parts for a four position selectors, sears and disconnectors from Colt, so guns can be modified to this standard. However, I guarantee you that no guns in games actually have the correct four position selector, as it looks different to the standard one.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights).

Colt did also start marketing 733s as &quot;M4 Commandos&quot; after the M4 was adopted, despite the fact it did not have a flat top rail. These names are not necessarily unique to a single rifle and can be used for multiple model numbers, for example the name &quot;M16A2 Carbine&quot; was used for the Model 723 and 727, as well as the 720 before it was given the XM4 designation.<br /> :::::::In essence, more modern (meaning, without older parts) M4 CQBR and M4 Commando are just that.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me.

Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4.

My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

First off, as STANAG 4179 was never ratified there is no actual standard in the first place, just a proposed standard that some countries have chosen to adhere to. Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant. Using the widely used term &quot;STANAG magazine&quot; can be kind of confusing as it implies that there is one single magazine that was '''the''' STANAG magazine, rather than the actual case where it is just a standard that a magazine can meet. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:09, 25 October 2012 (EDT)<br /> [[File:Navyseal50round.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Navy SEAL with 50 round STANAG Magazine]]<br /> Is this the 50-round STANAG magazine that was proven unreliable during Vietnam? --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 07:22, 10 November 2012 (EST)<br /> :Can't see all of it, but it looks like it.

It refers to a ''specific'' firearm, just like &quot;Prius&quot; refers to a specific car and &quot;Portland&quot; refers to a specific city. So by this court's logic, I should be well within my right to build a pick-up truck and market it as an F-150 with Ford unable to do a thing about it.

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly. But since they're usually seen impersonating M16A2s, I say designate by receiver style only (both the A2 and A3 have what is usually called the &quot;A2 receiver&quot;).<br /> <br /> In other words, I think we should ditch the M16A3 category completely. It makes no sense to distinguish between A2s and A3s when basically all of the &quot;Hollywood&quot; A2s and A3s are the same type of gun. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 20:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :I never got anyone's feedback on this, but...I decided to go ahead and ditch the M16A3 entry, for the reasons I explained above. It doesn't make sense to try and distinguish between &quot;A2s&quot; and &quot;A3s&quot; in movies when MoviePropMaster has explained that they're all basically the same thing - A2-style uppers on fully automatic A1 lowers. By that definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, but since they're obviously supposed to portray such rifles in movies, it makes more sense to call them A2s. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, because the M16A3 was made for Navy SEALs and SeeBees, no civilian hands hae touched them. -Winchester (1-26-09)<br /> I believe the 1995 remake of Village of the Damned portrayed the National Guard using burst fire. --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:12, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> (the above was in reply to a comment that the author deleted as i posted.) --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Also I think Colt sold A3s to foreign entities, National police of allied countries, Elite units, etc. Any country with which we are friendly and Colt has sold weapons in the past.

Externally, they look identical, however the A3 is full auto and the A2 is 3 shot burst. Simply put: A1 and A3 are full auto, A2 and A4 are 3 shot burst. The external differences are what make it a little easier to identify. We all know what an A1, A2, and A4 M16 look like, but the A3 is just an A2 that is full auto.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

There's a reason I've removed them before. We don't need to have every variant on the page, and many of them are inaccurate, anyway. The only one we allow is the XM16E1, because we don't have a good photo of one of those yet, and even that may get replaced. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> *The Colt 607 image I posted wasn't one of MPM's [unless someone stole it and re-hosted it], I got it from google.

[[User:Vangelis|Vangelis]] 05:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Why do we have Colt Model 727 by itself==<br /> When the Model 727 is just the commercial Colt name for the M4 carbine? it doesn't make sense to have the exact GUN made by Colt with it's commercial name (for law enforcement sales or international sales) with a separate category, when it should just be merged in with the M4/M4A1 category. The M16 page is getting out of control. MPM2008<br /> <br /> :I agree that the Model 727 should be merged with the M4 category, but it's not exactly a commercial name for an M4. The Model 777 is the commercial name for the very first M4 (the one that didn't have the detachable carry handle). The 727 and 777 are identical, but the 727 is safe-semi-auto and the 777 is safe-semi-burst. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]<br /> <br /> :::Good point. But in the overall view, I think all that info (a) should be in the M4 category, (b) should be a footnote, NOT a separate category and (c) people are endlessly creating separate categories for weapons that are essentially the same guns as other categories. Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s? Also, in VideoGames and Anime, again, they don't have to specify the new or commercial model unless it's specifically stated or named explicitly. Even then it can be a footnote in the original category. <br /> <br /> ==Adding images==<br /> <br /> I'm getting a little annoyed with people adding images we don't need on the page, including many that are crap and which aren't necessary. Not to mention that half of them aren't even using the &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;br clear=all&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; command to ensure that the images won't drift into the next gun entry.

Its an M4A1 with the old style stock, and a straight (no cuts) 16&quot; barrel; or its a Sporter (or one of those older three number ones like that) with a removable carry handle; take your pick. I was just wondering what it actually is...<br /> <br /> P.S. Every detail is intentional and exactly how its supposed to be even though its not a real picture, just so everyone knows that. ;)<br /> [[Image:M4A1COD4.jpg]]<br /> <br /> :It would be a hybrid commercial AR variant. It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

In the Vietnam and immediate post Vietnam years the U.S. dumped millions of M16A1s to our allies. With the fall of Vietnam, all of the South Vietnamese M16A1s ended up in the hands of communist guerillas (as well as the AK). The AK and the M16 were the most prolifically distributed weapons of the last 50 years. There is no conspiracy to make them 'look bad'. They're in the hands of everyone so it is invevitable.<br /> :Even Iran uses a variant of the M16A1, a copy of the Norinco CQ called the ''S-5.56'', as their standard rifle.

It's generally not really nessicary at the range, but when in a combat situation where you might have dirt or whatnot fouling the chamber, it's a good idea to do that to ensure that the weapon will fire when you need it to.[[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :The M16 series are the ONLY assault rifles (except the [http://www.hkpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=83:g41-series&amp;catid=8:the-automatic-rifles&amp;Itemid=5/ HK G41], which is made to be like the M16 and is no longer produced) in the world to have a forward assist. Why don't other assault rifles have a forward assist? (ie. the AK-74, G36 etc.) Because other assault rifles are more reliable and don't need it. :)<br /> ::Uh more associated with the design of the Bolt than being more reliable. The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now.

You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s.

When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

I always thought it was the M4A1 (and please forgive me if I got to the party late), but from what I've read, it seems like they issue the regulars the Model 920, leaving the 921 for Special Forces and the like. -<br /> <br /> i think it all depends on the on-base armory. for example some armory's might still have some M4s. but i think the regular infantry does use the M4A1. however. Special forces dont use the M4A1 or the M4. they use the hK416/417. [[User:Dirtdiver6421|Dirtdiver6421]] 17:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Though I don't know for certain, I wouldn't imply Spec-Ops units use ''only'' the new HK rifles - As you've said, it all depends on what's around, and to a degree what the soldiers prefer (in the case of Special units). Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 19:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Actually, Stan, my understanding is that it's the opposite. The M4 is the most common version, not the M4A1. U.S. military doctrine still discourages full-auto for infantry rifles, so it seems unlikely to me that the M4A1 is going to be more common. As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

Thank you in advance. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 07:27, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Basically, it was installed in order to slow down the rate of fire. The very first M16s ended up using a different ammunition powder than they were designed for, which caused a higher rate of fire than desired (about 800 to 1000 rpm I think), leading to excessive fouling in the chamber, and hence lots of stopages. From the M16E1 onwards a buffer tube was added to slow the rate of fire to about 600-700 rpm, and a chrome lined chamber and barrel was added as well. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 11:47, 12 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> I'm not sure if this is practical in any way, or even possible, but is their a way to increase the rate of fire on an M16 without the problems of the carbon build-up in the chamber?--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 23:29, 21 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> :Why would you want to increase the rate of fire? - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 00:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> No reason, just wondering if it's even possible with a full-auto M16.--[[User:MarineCorps1|MarineCorps1]] 08:09, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Probably, I see no reason why you couldn't. - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 13:40, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm assuming the reason that the high rate of fire caused fouling was that the rate of fire was so quick that the bolt was unlocking and opening before all the powder was fully burnt in the chamber, leaving residue.

Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet. Regardless, M4 and M16 are government designations, so surely calling a gun a &quot;Colt M4&quot; is incorrect? --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:09, 6 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::::Just checked the United States Army [http://www.army.mil/features/ official website].

The first is the Colt Model 646, also known as the M16A2E3, which was introduced in small numbers at the same time as the M16A2 and is an A2 with an A1 lower. Then you have the flat-top Colt Model 901 which was introduced at the same time as the M16A4 (in 1994 I think) and I'm assuming this is the version that the above page refers to. You also have the Colt Models 941 and 942 which are the HBAR and HBAR LMG models respectively, but I don't know if they are used. Not that any of this really matters as we identify all these guns as A2/A4 anyway. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 03:24, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::::::Well, that's because armorers don't have access to military M16A3s, so they just slap A2/A4 uppers to A1 lowers (correct?) because what Hollywood film director would want fixed burst firing gun (ignoring the fact that that's what soldiers and marines use) ? Or modify civilian semi-automatic replicas to fully automatic fire. In which case the weapon is to be identified as such. --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 03:54, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::Didn't mean to imply we are doing anything wrong, just that the definition of the A3 models isn't that important as they don't appear.

Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt.

I think that could have been a contribution to the gun exploding in his hands. But then again, I'm not the expert on M16 rifles, I'm only guessing.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

The only rifles that have these are the Sporter 1 rifles (which is what all of the pictures on the main page are actually of). The M16s that pre-date the captive push pin (Models 601 and 602) have a large headed push pin that is held in place by a ball detent on the pin itself. Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604. Early versions had the M16E1 type partial fence lower, whilst the later versions had the M16A1 full fence lower, and these weapons continued to be used by Air Force until 2001, when all M16s were updated to the A2 standard. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 06:58, 6 October 2011 (CDT)<br /> ::Cool!

Rangers and Delta in Somalia also used both Model 723s (A1 rear sight a straight barrel) and 727s (A2 rear sight with M4 profile barrel) and these weapons were known initially as M16A2 carbines, before morphing into the M4. Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia. These guns were not refinements though, they were guns from the 60/70s that were still being used due to the fact that the US Army did not produce a standard issue carbine till the M4.

The 9mm round also gives you less penetration, which is good if, say, you're trying to shoot the guy you're aiming at only rather than him and the three things behind him.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Heck, I can pull up a pic of a flat-topped GUU-5/P that to the untrained (or uncaring) eye would be identified as an M4A1, but isn't because it uses a slab-sided pre-A1 lower receiver. A lot of M4A1s in use by SOCOM units also can't technically by Colt naming standards be considered M4s since SOCOM now has 12.5&quot; URGs for use on M4 lowers.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers). [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:55, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :::Just because something has full automatic capability doesn't mean it is not a sniper rifle. It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for. The only thing I can say about what should be in the sniper rifle category is if it looks like one, put it in there. This isn't an encyclopaedia, the idea of the categories is to help people identify unknown guns, so if it looks like a sniper rifle that is the category they will be looking in. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 07:13, 19 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == About charging handle ==<br /> <br /> From [http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/ask-foghorn-what-does-a-forward-assist-do/ The Truth About Guns]:<br /> <br /> ''&quot;Ever since, part of the military’s manual of arms for loading the M16 and its variants includes a mandatory smacking of the charging handle even if it isn’t necessary.&quot;''<br /> <br /> Is it about racking the charging handle? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 01:51, 28 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :That is a mistake, smacking the charging handle does nothing on an AR-15.

Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me. The telescoping stock isn't much of an identifier as to the model of the weapon; the standard stock can be easily swapped out for third-party aftermarket stocks (in fact you'll note that there are images of the M4 with both four and six-position stocks on this site). As for the forward assist button, it can be swapped out just as easily as the stock. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:11, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::The forward assist and stock are secondary, they just add to the likelihood of it not being a Colt gun. Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail. So unless Oly manufactured tall flattops that had Picatinny rails (and I have no idea if they did), that upper is probably from some other manufacturer. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:44, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> M4s with these uppers seem to be returning in Season 4. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 02:37, 10 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> :Here's a pic of one from season 4 (I made a special effort to get good shots of the rail when capping it):[[File:Strike Back S04E01 037.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]My theory about these is that they are fixed carry handle uppers that have been modified (I made a [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2081 topic] about this possibility in the forum due to the show having a flat top sniper AR-15 that somehow had what otherwise appeared to be an SP1 upper). If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

However, these magazine look different to a regular 30 rounder widening outside of the magazine well to double thickness. If the gun is modelled with a 30 round mag and has a capacity of 50 then it is incorrect, just as a gun modelled with a 20 round mag holding 30 rounds is incorrect.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

M4 is a designation that was put on the rifle by the US Military, not Colt. Thus Colt doesn't 'own' the name and can't apply it to the civilian version of their product. That's like DODGE RAM trucks suing anyone who makes an outwardly similar version of the CUCV / M880 Utility truck and sells it as such.

Not sure, but I think that Colt had even stopped making the slickside uppers by this point, as I think that the last SP1s were in 1985 and they were using up existing stock. It wasn't until June 1985 when a contract was signed with Colt to deliver XM4 prototype rifles that a design was actually cemented and it was given its actual designation: <br /> ::::''&quot;Design to utilize the newly adopted M855 Ball and M856 tracer cartridges. Also to be compatible with existing M193 Ball and M196 tracer ammunition as well as M200 blank cartridges. The carbine will use the current M16A2 upper receiver and three-round limited burst control. The carbine will use an improved handguard to enhance firing/handling under normal operation conditions. The carbine shall have a collapsible/sliding stock. Barrel should be 14 1/2 inches in length. Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (MRBS) will equal or exceed 600 rounds when using issue M855 ammunition. The carbine will be configured to accept MILES laser transmitter as well as the M203 grenade launcher.&quot;''<br /> :::I imagine that it was always their intent to use A2 receivers, as when the program was first launched they wanted maximum parts compatibility with the standard issue M16A2 (which was adopted by the USMC in 1983, a year before they started looking into a new carbine). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:43, 13 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 Toy Gun ==<br /> <br /> I found this image in the IMFDB page for [[The Green Berets]].

The latter has a flat top, but it is still missing the brass deflector as the mould is based off of an A1 one. Also, note that all 3 of these guns use the same M4 profile barrel which has been chopped off at the front of the M203 step. Similarly, they all use A1 pistol grips to save on different parts. None of the cheap springers like this (even if they have different brand names they tend to be made in the same factories or use the same tooling) are very accurate replicas of particular guns, as that is not their goal. They want to crank out as many varieties as they can for as little cost as possible. Lastly, the flash hider is irrelevant to anything, as it is neither an A1 or A2 as it is symmetric like the A1 but this flash hider only has 4 ports rather than the correct 6. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 16:55, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Rare XM177s ==<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Handgaurd.jpg]]<br /> <br /> A Rare handguard with a 57mm recoilless rifle shell during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Prototype?.jpg]]<br /> <br /> I think this is a prototype Handguard.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 With A1 Hider.jpg]]<br /> <br /> XM177E1 with A1 Flash Hider used by the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 00:12, 4 January 2018 (EST)</div>

Having a section on the M16 w M203 on the M16 page makes sense since that is where people will look if they're curious about that particular combo appearing in a movie. But I like having a separate page for the M203 to address more detailed history of the launcher plus any applications where the launcher is used with other weapons. Just a thought...<br /> ::We do need a page where M203s are used as stand alone launchers, rare, but it has happened. But we should shift all M203s underslung to M16s to the M16 Page and have a note directing users to that page when looking for that combination on the M203 page. Just IMHO.... [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Makes sense, that configuration. Also, there was a standalone M203 on Bones, and there might be others (sometime WAY in the future, when a director wants to use a &quot;modern&quot; version of an M79, like how James Cameron used the fictional roto-craft in place of the Huey).<br /> <br /> == Do well really need to have an &quot;A2&quot; and &quot;A3&quot; category?==<br /> <br /> [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has already explained that just about all of the &quot;M16A2s&quot; used in movies are actually A2 uppers on A1 lowers, often with A1 flash hiders. By this definition, none of them are true &quot;M16A2s&quot;, and might actually be considered M16A3s roughly.

I was also issued an M16A1 with A2 handguards in basic training. It turns out that it's simpler and--from what I heard--cheaper to replace the 'A1 guards with 'A2 guards because the 'A2's are less complex and you only need to stock one type instead of 'lefts' and 'rights'. Also, the 'A1'a in the national guard were freshly rebuilt, tested, and had the serial numbers laser etched into the bolt carriers. They were issued with all 'A2 furniture.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, I've seen plenty of A1s with A2 hand guards elsewhere. In fact, if you ever watch footage of the current offensive into Gaza, you can see both IDF personnel and Hamas militants using them. The Israelis received a lot of M16A1s and have updated many of them with the M16A2 hand guards. Many of these rifles were passed into Israeli's &quot;allies&quot; in Fatah, and then Hamas stole plenty of them during their war with Fatah (some were also probably stolen from the IDF themselves). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 22:53, 9 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> just for the record here is an M16A1 with A2 handguards in service <br /> [[Image:RP Marines assault line DM-SD-06-10463.JPEG|thumb|none|600px|RP Marines armed with M16A1s with A2 handguards.]] <br /> --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 22:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mark 12 Special Purpose Rifle ==<br /> <br /> Does anyone have an image of one?<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> :I put one on the ''[[Live Free or Die Hard]]'' page that I took from another site. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Thanks I pasted it from that page but we should probably look into getting a noncopyrighted one.<br /> -[[User:AdAstra2009]]<br /> <br /> ::Well, you can ask MoviePropMaster2008 if he has a Mark 12 upper in his company's inventory.

Experienced IMFDB users/Mods already know that most of the M16 variants seen in films are build ups of other guns. We usually just get the accessories and barreled uppers and put them on our full auto or semi auto lowers. Why spend thousands to get new guns when we're sitting on dozens and dozens of other M16s?

It has an M16A1 style lower receiver, so it is NOT a Sporter I or II. Basically, it's an M4 Carbine with a flat top and detachable carry handle, with an old style buttstock and a civilian HBAR Carbine barrel outfitted with RIS forearms. Various manufacturers made similar guns to this design, like Bushmaster and a few others. Also many builders of AR15s made similar guns from parts kits from M&amp;A, Patriot Arms, (the now defunct Nesard), Sun Valley, and others. With the advent of custom builds from aftermarket parts from dozens of manufacturers, the AR15 has become the ultimate &quot;mutt&quot;. I can tell you this is NOT an issued military variant, so it would NOT have an &quot;M&quot; designation unless it was built from an M4 to begin with. Also nearly everyone uses the step down M4 style barrels for carbines, unless it's the ultra light. The HBAR Carbine style barrels are becoming rarer by the day since their heyday was the 1990s.

The AK series have a bolt handle attached DIRECTLY to the bolt carrier as do many other designs. If there is debris or fouling in the chamber which keeps a round from seating properly you can just jam the handle forward (I've done this in the field when my AK / Garand / Galil / M 14 / etc jammed) I once had a tiny piece of bark (I was firing under trees) which fell from above and fell into the ejection port and made the round 'stick' really badly in the chamber so that it would not seat properly. The M16 design has no way other than the forward assist to nudge the bolt &amp; carrier forward enough to fire and kick that crap free of the action. But I wouldn't bash the M16 as an &quot;unreliable&quot; rifle. I'd sure take it into battle right now. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 20:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> :::Alright, I understand. thanks for the extra info. I'm not saying the M16/M4 is a complete piece of crap, but it's definitely not the BEST ASSAULT RIFLE IN THE WORLD! like we Americans like to state all the time (*rolls eyes*). You and me both know the M16/M4 is no where as reliable as the G36 or the AK series. But at least it's better than the L85 series, now that's a piece crap rifle. :D *Edit: Well at least the L85A1, the L85A2 is OK. kinda like the M16/M16A1s sucks but the M16A2/A4s are good.<br /> <br /> ::::I have to completely disagree with what you say, i don't wish to come off as passive aggresive but you sound like a mall ninja that learned their weapons knowledge from seeing them perform in videogames or hearing public opinions on weapons from the news or other sources. The M16 family of rifles are both fine and fairly reliable weapons, while much of that view has been skewed by the fact they were portrayed as unreliable during conflicts such as Vietnam, is incorrect to a degree. The M16 is a reliable and capable weapon when cleaned and properly maintained, it simply lacks the ability to stay so when not properly serviced, as some other rifles such as the AKM can function fine without cleaning, the M16 can not. As for your comment on the L85 series, yes they were somewhat poor and unreliable weapons at first, coupled with poor grips and clumsy to handle for certain users, however the newer models have made large improvements and are very capable firearms. As i feel it needs to be said (or typed) a common mistake people make is assuming that militaries have access and funding to field their troops with the best weapons available, which is not always the case as most countries don't have the money to field an Army with rifles that can cost up to $5000-10000 per unit. Which is where the workhorses like M16's come in, you go for the &quot;good&quot; rifle not the &quot;great&quot; one. Also, although off-topic it somewhat pertains to the M16, most mall ninja's assume the AK-family is better because it is more reliable and fires a heavier cartridge, I've always asked &quot;would you want a round that's going to pierce right through an enemy and leave an easy to treat wound, or have a round that hits an enemy and fragments inside them causing an ungodly bloody mess?&quot; Hopefully esteemed imfdb members such as MPM2008 will agree with and share my viewpoint concerning this subject, as well as not condemn me for my long comment. [[User:Doc345|Doc345]] 13:24, 06 March 2011 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::The issues of jamming during the Vietnam War had more to do with ammunition and the lack of a chrome-lined chamber and barrel than the rifle's so-called &quot;dirty&quot; gas system. In 1964 the Army switched from stick powder to ball powder, which increased the rate of fire to over 1,000 RPM and left a lot of dirty residue in the weapon. This was only exacerbated by the lack of cleaning kits and training on how to maintain the weapon. They fixed the issue by fitting the rifle with a buffer system (which slowed the ROF down) and chrome-plated chamber. Training programs in weapon maintenance were instituted and an instruction book on how to maintain the rifle was circulated among troops. After further modifications resulted in the M16A1, many of the reliability issues disappeared (although even today, the weapon has yet to shed its bad reputation). The M16A2, A3, A4, and M4 carbine of today are an entirely different breed of warrior than the prototypes that were issued back in the 60s. While it may admittedly be a bit finicky, the M16 today is a good weapon.

The belief that it was is a myth, one of the ''many'' surrounding the weapon system. It was an &quot;educated&quot; assumption made based on previous experiences with the AR-15's predecessor, the AR-10, which ''did'' prove to be quite reliable without maintenance or cleaning (I believe it was the Sudanese who used it in sub-Saharan Africa and gave reviews that were nothing short of glowing).

Although there were cleaning kits they were only issued at a rate of something like 2 per platoon, as it was not believed that the weapon would require regular maintenance. When the Marines got it they had no cleaning kits at all. The parts which they were critically short of until the late 60s were the cleaning rods, and chamber brushes. Chamber brushes were not originally issued as the chamber was stated as not requiring specific cleaning, and it wasn't until 1966 after repeated protests from in theatre officers that it was procured. Something else that is worth bearing in mind, is that instructions on how to clean the M16 were not published until (I think) December 1966, so up until this point it was pretty much word of mouth and hearsay leading to a lot of misconceptions (for example a lot of troops were lubricating their ammunition, which was a big no-no leading to a lot of malfunctions with both the magazines and rifles). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:46, 8 January 2013 (EST)<br /> <br /> == The comment about the SPR Mk 12 shooting full auto... ==<br /> <br /> The design--at least the original ones--used a match grade trigger group that actually fired full auto.<br /> <br /> If my Web Fu is correct, NSN 1005-01-562-0901 from Knight's Armament. <br /> <br /> The original, intended purpose was to allow the uppers to be swapped out for a short barreled model initially so a marksman could use a short range weapon on the way in and out and the more accurate upper at the objective.<br /> <br /> Sources: https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=003aa7475e95c9b56d5814227cc5d4ec&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0<br /> <br /> ::https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;mode=form&amp;id=fbd46923c9e6d18cd916b8a6e7d3cfdf&amp;tab=core&amp;_cview=0 <br /> <br /> States the Special Purpose Receiver (Early designs) specifies:<br /> <br /> &quot;(C) OTHER PERFORMANCE GOALS: (1) Increased reliability, durability, corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning, lubricity/reduced friction; fully functional for a minimum of 15,000 rounds (Threshold)/30,000 rounds (Objective), performing up to the standards and firing rates to be published in the Solicitation, functional reliability exceeding that of the standard M4A1 carbine at high and low temperature extremes as well as other hostile (sand/dust/dirt/mud/surf) environmental conditions (2) Improved safety- delay cook-off, fail-safe features, fires/functions safely and without delay of draining in the Over-The-Beach (surf zone, weapon flooded with water) environment.

Though the aforementioned HK rifles are in inventory, that doesn't automatically cancel the M4s out - some personnel might still use 'em. Plus there are other weapons around, namely the FN SCAR series. Though I would agree use of the M4 with Special Forces probably isn't as common these days.&lt;br&gt; As for a regular-issue weapon, I agree that the M4 and M4A1 are both in use nowadays, with the A1 perhaps being more prominent.

As for the SCAR, SOCOM just decided this past June that they weren't going to order any more SCAR-Ls for the foreseeable future, which means that even amongst most SF units, the M4 will remain their standard weapon. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 01:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :- Well, I wasn't too sure, but I guess that does make sense to stick with the burst-fire M4.

Do the cuts help the weapon release heat from prolonged firing better than a barrel that has a uniform thickness, or does it hamper that? Any input anyone can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 17:46, 8 May 2011 (CDT)<br /> :The step down for the grenade launcher is actually pretty negligible in terms of cooling (although it does create a point of weakness to bending), as what you can't see is the fact that as soon as the barrel goes under the handguard it is reduced down to the same narrow diameter as in the cut out, which creates a much bigger effect on cooling. The narrower profile sections have the effect of cooling down the barrel quicker, but they also conversely mean that the barrel heats up quicker, and the heat has a larger effect on the accuracy of the gun. The main advantage however is that it reduces the weight quite a bit. The original reason that the M4 barrel reduces in size behind the handguard is based on the M16A2, which does exactly the same thing where its heavy barrel is actually only thicker past the front sight. This was due to a cock up in the design, where they designed the gun with a full thickness straight barrel, and found that they could then no longer clamp the M203 to the barrel, so the barrels were simply turned down from behind the front sight post. The front of the barrel was left thick due to the fact that the thinner barrels on the M16A1 were being bent at the front from being used as pry-bars to get the loading bands off of shipping pallets. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:53, 6 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :There is a heavier &quot;SOCOM-profile&quot; barrel that maintains the same diameter beneath the handguards as the standard M4-profile barrel does around the M203 cut and it can mount the M203 just fine.[http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/v/vspfiles/photos/BCM-URG-M4-14SOCOM-2.jpg] [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 11:40, 19 June 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == can you tell me what model of m16/car 15 this is ==<br /> <br /> sorry i do not have a pic but i can tell you what is like. me and my dad were talikng about some of the guns he used in the army and he was telling me about this one he said was like an carbine version of the m16a2 and it was like the m4 but had a fixed carring handle and it was used befor the m4 it had safe semi and burst and he said it just had ar15 on the side.-Steviebleckley<br /> <br /> :Sounds like the first batch of M4s that were delivered.

I'd imagine that you could increase the rate of fire by removing the buffer, and just make sure that whatever powder you were using was fully burnt in the time it takes the bolt to open. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 14:29, 22 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::That would make sense, since I heard the nightmare version of that was when the gas pressure was still holding the spent case in place while the extractor was trying to eject it, which tended to result in Horrible Things happening to the case while it was still inside the rifle. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> This might be a silly question, but why is it that the AR-15 design required the buffer tube, and other rifles do not? Is it just located differently, and if so why? It just strikes me that the lack of a folding stock option is a poor design, especially when compared to most assault rifles designed today, SCAR, ACR, etc. --[[User:Rebusdi|Rebusdi]] 18:57, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I'm guessing here, but from what I've read it's that the rifle had already been designed, so they had to work inside the box, as it were. The only options were either to make the components of the action a lot heavier so their momentum prevented the weapon cycling too fast (which would rather defy the point of using a lightweight aluminium receiver and suchlike) or add something on to slow it down, which is what they did. Rifles designed since have been designed from the ground up to avoid this kind of problem, so don't need to have a tube attached to a hole in the back of the receiver to fix them. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 21:08, 27 July 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :The buffer tube does two things: 1) contains the buffer and spring and 2) allows the bolt carrier to recoil part of the way into it. The combination means that the AR15-series rifles are functionally a long-recoil design where the bolt does not slam into anything rigid during recoil and stops based on the pressure of the buffer spring. This--in turn--enhances the straight-line recoil and therefore controllability during automatic fire or rapid semi-automatic fire. It also allows the AR15 design to use the rear of the bolt carrier to actuate the automatic sear meaning the probability in this design that you can set a round off with the bolt unlocked during automatic fire is nil. (Look up some of the problems with the &quot;Lightning Link&quot; to get a better idea of why this works the way it does.)<br /> <br /> :Other designs often do incorporate additional recoil buffers in the stock, the FN FAL's without folding stocks do this and the plastic-stocked SAW's, but the AR15 design simply trades the ability to fold a stock for enhanced recoil handling... The idea behind the design was to make a weapon where the entire recoil force is in a direct line between your shoulder and the end of the barrel with as little jarring as possible. This is also one reason for the use of a direct gas impingement system and one reason why gas-piston AR's tend to eat the front of the buffer tube and buffer tube area of the lower receiver due to bolt carrier &quot;tilt&quot;. The &quot;lateral&quot; forces of the piston tapping the top of the bolt carrier misaligns the bolt carrier off its straight line path and pushes that chunk of steel into the aluminum.<br /> <br /> :Oh, and the forward assist is to compensate for not having a rigidly connected bolt handle. (Like someone already mentioned). The reason why is the design is meant to be operated in a manner where you ONLY use the charging handle for initial loading and then unloading at the end (administratively). Every other time, you actuate the bolt using the bolt release on the left side of the weapon... --[[User:Deathbunny|Deathbunny]] 01:28, 11 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> == Noob Question ==<br /> <br /> Ok I have a really dumb question, what is the difference between the Colt M4A1 and the Colt M4A1 Carbine?

As for the M4 and M4A1, well it ''does'' say the difference in the section but to answer - the M4 has Safe-Semi-Burst fire selection ala the M16A2/M16A4, the M4A1 has full-automatic instead of burst, ala the earlier M16s/M16A1/M16A3. Otherwise they're pretty much identical appearance wise (The M4A1 also has a heavier barrel inside the handguard, which of course you can't tell from the outside). It also notes some commercial AR-15 carbines are given an 'M4' moniker, but aren't the same as actual military M4s.

I've noticed some people doing this but isn't it incorrect as the term M16 is the army designation as opposed to the Colt name (for example the Colt Model 603 for the M16A1). Either way, I would imagine that quite a few M16s or M4s in movies are manufactured by companies other than Colt, and even the US military rifles are not necessarily made by Colt these days. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 17:43, 3 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :I am curious... if the military M4 and M16 are not made by Colt these days then by whom? --[[User:Masterius|Masterius]] 14:58, 6 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::There was a stretch in the 1990s when Colt lost the military contract and all the M16s were built by Fabrique Nationale (FN). Though many companies build AR15 platforms, only the company who has the contract with the Dept. of Defense can call the M16 theirs. If there ARE any other manufacturers being represented on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, someone needs to find out.

Sabre defence also won a contract for a minimum of 4,952 M16A3 and 702 M16A4 rifles in July 2008 for the US navy/Marine corps respectively. Having said that FN also stated: ”...never was FN Manufacturing LLC, or any other small arms manufacturer, awarded M4 contracts. The M4 cannot be competed and always has been awarded sole source to Colt because of licensing rights restricting full and open competition until 2009” although it has stated its intention to bid for M4 contracts past this point. The US government took ownership of the M4 design on the 1st July 2009, so the M4 can now be manufactured for the government by other companies, but I don't know if this has actually been done yet.

The first is the Colt Model 646, also known as the M16A2E3, which was introduced in small numbers at the same time as the M16A2 and is an A2 with an A1 lower. Then you have the flat-top Colt Model 901 which was introduced at the same time as the M16A4 (in 1994 I think) and I'm assuming this is the version that the above page refers to. You also have the Colt Models 941 and 942 which are the HBAR and HBAR LMG models respectively, but I don't know if they are used.

Regardless, back to my original question, do we call them Colt or not? My opinion is no obviously, as it seems that some if not the majority of M16s are manufactured by other companies, and there is the future possibility of this with M4, and regardless it is a military designation of a rifle that goes by another Colt name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 05:31, 7 September 2011 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :::::::My opinion: M4 &amp; M4A1 should remain as Colt.

There is nothing wrong with tapping the magazine even when it appears to be seated correctly, as it makes sure it is all the way into the well. Although he did hit forward assist unnecesarily once or twice, I don't think it would have done any harm or contributed to the kaboom. The file description and all the comments say that this was a squib, and it was all the shooters fault for not identifying it and checking the barrel (there are also quite a few people that seem to think it is possible the load 2 or 3 rounds into the chamber at a time by repeatedly pulling the charging handle, but this is Youtube after all). But I don't think it was, as on the first misfire there was only the click of the hammer, and when he pulled the bolt back a round was ejected which wouldn't have been chambered if the previous &quot;bang&quot; was a squib. I've never fired a round with primer but no powder, but surely there would still be an audible &quot;bang&quot; rather than just the click of the hammer? When exactly did the bullet get stuck in the barrel, or am I missing something?

But one person's explanation in the comments is that when the hammer struck the primers of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds, the 'click' in question was the popping of the primer, which popped with enough force to lodge the bullets into the barrel of the gun, but without the 'bang' sound since the powder of the &quot;squib&quot; rounds were bad. So when the explosion happened, it was because the hammer struck a perfectly fine round, or one with enough charge in it's powder load, and that bullet impacted the other bullets stuck in the barrel, which caused a high-pressure situation ending with the magazine blowing apart, and leaving the M16 rifle damaged (probably for good).

Also, the &quot;M16&quot; category can be separated out into 3 different guns which the USAF used seqeuntially in turn. First is the original 601 which has green furniture, original &quot;duckbill&quot; flash hider and triangular charging handle (around 14,500 were made, 8,500 to USAF, 1,000 to the Army for evaluation and the rest to special forces, police, and a number of Asian countries). The 602 is the quintessential slab sided M16, and introduced the updated 3 pronged flash hider, black furniture, the current &quot;T&quot; shaped charging handle. The third &quot;M16&quot; is what is often called the USAF M16 and was the most produced variant, and was the Model 604.

Till the early 90s there were still some Model 653s (called the M16A1 carbine) and XM177s with the long moderators replaced with birdcages knocking around as well, so there were probably a lot of different guns knocking around Somalia.

However, I guarantee you that no guns in games actually have the correct four position selector, as it looks different to the standard one.

In Bravo Two Zero (the book), Andy McNab calls the M16A2 a 4x4, and the SA80 a Rolls-Royce. Looking back, the S.A.S have a history of using foreign weapons. Why is this? Do Britain not make good enough weapons? Sure, the only thing we currently make and export are Accuraccy International's (which are the best sniper rifles in the world, and I don't care what anyone else says. It strikes me as strange, though, why the S.A.S use the AW50 and not the AS50 as their heavy-caliber sniper rifle), but why do the S.A.S have to use American weapons? Why not use German?<br /> <br /> :&quot;...''have'' to use American weapons?&quot; You have some kind of grudge against American weapons or something? :P In any case, the events of ''Bravo Two Zero'' took place during the first Gulf War, so I really doubt they're still using M16A2s in this age of optics and rail systems. It's my understanding that their ''current'' &quot;standard&quot; long gun is the C8FTHB carbine, which is essentially an M4A1 with a 16&quot; barrel of different profile to that of a standard M4. As to why, well, they use what they ''want'' to use, whether it be British, American, German, whatever. Much like their American counterparts in CAG and DEVGRU, they have the leeway and budget to get a little bit of everything because their mission calls for it. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 10:30, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> ::The SAS adopted the M16 as a replacement for the 7.62 L1A1 SLR which was the standard British rifle at the time. The SLR was superior in terms of reliability, accuracy and range, but the M16 had a major weight advantage in terms of both the weapon and the ammunition, could mount a grenade launcher, and was capable of automatic fire (so was the SLR, but a match was required to be inserted into the action). One of the reasons they continued to use it after the introduction of the SA80 rifles was due to initial reliability problems, along with the fact that until relatively recently the SA80 culd not use an underbarrel grenade launcher (M16s were also used by other units, such as some Royal Marine units and the Pathfinders). Don't really know the exact reason why the SAS (along with Military Police and Royal Marine close protection along with a few others) use the C8SFW/CQB rather than the SA80 but would imagine it is partially due to the lower weight and the modularity of the SFW (bear in mind that the SA80 didn't have a railed forened until a few years ago and has only just gotten a MIL-STD-1913 on the top for different sights). Unlike the M16s adopted before, the C8 has actually been officially adopted by the MOD as the L119A1 (both the SFW and the CQB share the same designation though). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:17, 7 January 2012 (CST)<br /> <br /> :::L119A1 is the official designation for C8 SFW in British SF service.

Same goes for the Mark 12, if you want to get technical. The Mark 12 grew out of a program to create a SOPMOD upper receiver component that the shooter could switch out with his M4 upper when in need of increased range and accuracy. So in its original form, the SPR was still technically an assault rifle (and as such it's still frequently used in that manner by SOF who switch out uppers on full-auto lowers), it just had a high-magnification scope, and we all know that just sticking a scope on an AR doesn't make it a sniper rifle. It didn't lose its full auto capability until it was type-classified as an individual weapon. Mark 12s in regular grunts' hands would likely be dedicated sniper rifles, but those you see in use by SOF are more than likely just SPR uppers on M4 lowers. There's a similar distinction between Mark 18s (complete type-classified weapon with 10.5&quot; uppers on refurbished M16A1 lowers) and &quot;M4A1 CQBRs&quot; (10.3&quot; uppers on M4 lowers).

It is unusual and arguably unnecessary, but as far as I know there is no official definition of what a sniper rifle does and does not have. In my opinion it is a sniper rifle if it is designed for and used in the sniping role. Hell, you can even call small caliber stuff like the Ruger 10/22 a sniper rifle as it has been used as one. For the purposes of this site though, I think the category should be used if the rifle ''appears'' to be a sniper rifle to the average user who might be trying to identify something. In other words, a catch all term for sniper, designated marksman, target and hunting rifles. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 21:14, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> :I was under the impression that a dedicated sniper rifle had to have (at a minimum) a scope, be chambered in a full-size rifle round (so as to allow for accurate distant shots with high stopping power, a key part of sniping), be ergonomically suited for use while prone (i.e., its magazine must not be so large as to create an obstruction when lying on the ground on your stomach, and preferably have a bipod) and allow for accurate semi-automatic/bolt-action fire (fully-automatic or burst-fire is possible but counter-productive for accurate long-range shots, and such capability is usually reserved for Designated Marksmen who must travel with a squad and still keep some close-quarters firepower if necessary). So something like the VSS Vintorez wouldn't count because its round is short-ranged (up to 400 meters only given its subsonic velocity, so it's more of an accurized &quot;special purpose&quot; assault rifle), while the SVD would, due to its scope, 7.62x54mmR caliber, small magazine size to ensure it doesn't get in the way when used while prone (I'm very confused as to why the Soviets never put a bipod on the SVD, however), and semiautomatic-only nature. --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 21:57, 18 March 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::As we only have the sniper rifle category here, I would class the VSS Vintorez as such, as it is designed as a suppressed sniper rifle. By virtue of the fact that it is suppressed it uses a lower power shorter range cartridge than a typical sniper rifle, but not all sniping is long range. If you were to use an integrally suppressed [[Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_series#Accuracy_International_Arctic_Warfare_Suppressed|AWS]] with subsonic ammunition the range would be limited like on the Vintorez, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle. In particular, for police and some special forces uses long range is not as important in a sniper rifle as accuracy and other considerations. Like I said before, silenced Ruger 10/22s have been used by special forces for almost silent sniping. Another example would be the Russian SV-99, which is a silent sniper rifle based on a .22LR biathlon rifle. Weapons like these are specialized sniper rifles, but they are still sniper rifles none the less. I'm not sure whether trying to make a fixed definition for a sniper rifle is a good idea, as you will always find exceptions. Not all &quot;sniper rifles&quot; even use telescopic sights, an example being the Barrett M82A2 which uses a 1x red dot sight as it was actually designed for shooting from the shoulder as a low cost anti helicopter weapon. Another rifle that breaks your definition would be the [[BMS Milcam Rifle Series|BMS Snicam]] which is undeniably a sniper rifle, but uses a 5.56mm cartridge from 20/30 round STANAG magazine. Different sniper rifles have wildly different characteristics depending on the specific task they are designed for.

Also, it has an A1 forward assist plunger, A1 lower receiver (although I imagine this is a replacement to allow full auto) and a non Colt stock (curved in front of the locking bolt as opposed to vertical, several companies like Tapco make their stocks like this). I've read somewhere on here (a ''[[Stargate]]'' page probably) that Olympic Arms flat top rifles have a higher scope rail compared to other AR-15s, is this one of them? I know bugger all about Olympic Arms rifles and can't seem to find many pictures of them, but all the ones I can find show them with a standard height rail, kind of like I can never find a picture of one with the &quot;Stowaway&quot; pistol grip that the ''[[Stargate]]'' pages also state that they have. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:25, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> :Doesn't look too different from a standard M4 carbine to me. The telescoping stock isn't much of an identifier as to the model of the weapon; the standard stock can be easily swapped out for third-party aftermarket stocks (in fact you'll note that there are images of the M4 with both four and six-position stocks on this site). As for the forward assist button, it can be swapped out just as easily as the stock. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 06:11, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> ::The forward assist and stock are secondary, they just add to the likelihood of it not being a Colt gun. Another thing that is easily replaceable but just adds to the whole weirdness of this gun in that fact that it has an A1 rather than A2 flash hider. The main thing is the scope rail. It is higher than on a standard AR-15 pattern gun made by Colt, or the majority of other manufacturers. The easy place to see this is at the rear above the charging handle, where the receiver above the charging handle slot is about twice the thickness. I've just noticed as well that the brass deflector looks odd, the top edge of it slopes upwards and goes higher up the weapon. This is definitely a live fire gun as they are used throughout the series firing blanks, but it is definitely not a Colt M4. Was hoping someone would be able to recognise the profile of the upper receiver, as that is the unique part which makes this gun unidentifiable. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 08:03, 11 July 2012 (CDT)<br /> <br /> ::I am the one who wrote that comment about Olympic Arms flattop receivers on the ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'' page, and several other pages. If you want a better example of what the earliest OlyArms flattop rifles looked like, check out the pics of the K23B Stubby which is used by [[Gary Sinise]] in ''[[Reindeer Games]]''. My understanding (and I asked about this on the OA message board) is that OlyArms' first flattop receivers were a bit taller (by about .25&quot;) than the current mil-spec standard seen on the M4/M16A4, and had a rail that was copied from the Colt ACR (which looks very different from the Picatinny rail). This style receiver was only produced for a short time before Oly started making their flattop ARs with the same type of receiver that Colt had introduced on the M4.<br /> <br /> ::As for the M4 in ''[[Strike Back - Season 1|Strike Back]]'', I agree with you that the flattop receiver is clearly taller than that of a mil-spec M4, but unlike early OlyArms flattops, it appears to have the Picatinny rail.

[[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 02:37, 10 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> :Here's a pic of one from season 4 (I made a special effort to get good shots of the rail when capping it):[[File:Strike Back S04E01 037.jpg|thumb|500px|none|]]My theory about these is that they are fixed carry handle uppers that have been modified (I made a [http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=2081 topic] about this possibility in the forum due to the show having a flat top sniper AR-15 that somehow had what otherwise appeared to be an SP1 upper). If you look closely you can see that the rail is a separate piece of metal that has been bolted on, and also has a black finish rather than the grey of the receiver. Also, at the front and back of the rail you can see the shape of the receiver where the carry handle previously joined onto the upper. Either these guns are made by a company that took carry handle forgings and just machined off the handle and bolted a sight on rather than doing a new upper, or they are built form an original complete A1E1/A2 style upper that has been modified. I'm more inclined to believe the latter due to the scattershot nature of the variants on display, with slight differences in the heights of the rail or how they attach, different forward assists, different brass deflector sizing and different lowers. I don't have a good shot of it, but one of the rifles also had the finish totally worn off at the front of the receiver, but the rail was fine suggesting that this was installed when the gun was already old. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 and SP1 sections ==<br /> <br /> As it is impossible to tell an original Model 602 M16 from a Model R6000 Sporter without seeing a detailed view of the front receiver pin (the M16 has a flat push pin whereas the SP1 has a screw headed pin) should they have separate sections? Furthermore from what I can tell the vast majority of the weapons listed in the M16 section are SP1s, as are all the images in that section. I would sugest merging the SP1 section into the M16 section and making a note of the fact that the vast majority of &quot;M16s&quot; in film/TV are actually SP1s. Also, I think the M16/M203 and M4/M203 sections should be merged into the main weapon sections as firstly (in the case of M16s) it doesn't distinguish by variant, and secondly most of the time an M203 is attached to a weapon people just list it under the notes section rather than putting it in these sections.

Every time something says &quot;STANAG compliant&quot; it should technically say &quot;draft STANAG compliant&quot; when talking about magazine dimensions. Further more, the proposal was only a dimensional standard for the top of the magazine not for the capacity, so any size of magazine would be draft STANAG compliant.

It wasn't just that piece at the rear though - There's a discoloration/demarcation behind the ejection port, which, on the 2D flat-on image, looks kinda like the angled rake for a forward assist - Most slab uppers look clearly and continuously smooth all the way back in most of all the other AR images, which is why I got thrown off -<br /> [[Image:Colt-Sporter-I-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colt Sporter I Carbine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> [[Image:ColtSporterIIw30RdMag.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Colt Sporter II Carbine - 5.56x45mm.]]<br /> Still looks off a bit, but thinking about it, the image isn't high-detail so that doesn't help. Could also just be a photoshop flub. Anyway.. guess this is nothing after all. Would be nice if the pic could be cleaned up a bit though, more like the 653 image, that might help. Just a thought.

Originally I thought it was just discolouration on the upper making that mark (as it is not in quite the right place for the forward assist forging as I think it goes too far forward). On closer inspection though it looks like it is a transparent overlay of an A1 upper over a slickside one. I have tried to tweak it in photoshop to correct this and updated the image. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 17:44, 15 June 2014 (EDT)<br /> :: Looks substantially better there, thanks C552.

How about replacing it with this one[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/PEO_M4_Carbine_RAS.jpg]? It's an M4 rather than an M4A1, but I've been on the lookout for a suitable one and this is all I've been able to find that wasn't an obvious airsoft. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 18:09, 25 June 2014 (EDT)<br /> : I don't like that picture, as it's at a slight angle and also has a fully railed handguard - I think getting/keeping an image like the present one (which isn't that good, I grant you) would be preferable, as there are several pages I have seen that show it in that config (regular handguard, no handle). But there are some that no doubt have it that way, too.. Bah, I don't know (The Burst trigger group doesn't mean anything, that is the only difference (visual or otherwise) between the M4 and M4A1). Perhaps MPM can get a better pic in due course, or someone can at least get a better edit job going for the meantime. But it's not my call.

I browsed M16 Gallery and AR-15 identification page but I didn't find one. I'm currently documenting weapons of Conflict Global Storm, and the M4A1 in the game does not have forward assist, modelled on the weapon nor textured. Is it safe to assume it's just a low definition model and call it M4A1 anyway? --[[User:CnC Fin|CnC Fin]] ([[User talk:CnC Fin|talk]]) 06:19, 27 January 2015 (EST)<br /> [[Image:CGS_M4A1_forward_assist.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M4A1 lacking forward assist.]]<br /> :That is an M4/M4A1, it is just that the texture is of the left side of the gun. Note that on the upper receiver there is no ejection port, and on the lower there is no magazine release and the selector switch is visible. I do not know if they have simply gotten the textures reversed (in that on the left side of the gun there are all the right side features) but my guess is that more likely they only have a texture for one side of the gun and mirrored it. This is quite common on older games, particularly on the world model. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 06:48, 27 January 2015 (EST)<br /> ::They were doing it at least as recently as ''[[:File:MW2SpOpsM4.jpg|Modern Warfare 2]]''.

It states at the end of the M4 description paragraph that a court ruled that the name &quot;M4&quot; refers to a ''type'' of firearm, but this is factually false. It refers to a ''specific'' firearm, just like &quot;Prius&quot; refers to a specific car and &quot;Portland&quot; refers to a specific city. So by this court's logic, I should be well within my right to build a pick-up truck and market it as an F-150 with Ford unable to do a thing about it. So if you ask me, Colt had a legitimate beef in that other manufacturers were marketing their clones as &quot;M4 carbines&quot; when Colt was producing the ''real'' M4 carbine. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 06:19, 2 September 2015 (EDT)<br /> :Even Colt use the term &quot;M4&quot; as a type though rather than a specific weapon though, they have probably had about a dozen different guns that have been marked and marketed as an &quot;M4&quot; of one kind or another. Lets not forget, it isn't like Colt actually came up with the M4 designation. Their original weapon was the Colt Model 920 which the US designated as the M4. Just like the M16s, if they are made by a company other than Colt they will still be M4s so as far as I see it Colt don't have a monopoly on the term. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 13:25, 2 September 2015 (EDT)<br /> ::That's what I was thinking.

M4 is a designation that was put on the rifle by the US Military, not Colt. Thus Colt doesn't 'own' the name and can't apply it to the civilian version of their product. That's like DODGE RAM trucks suing anyone who makes an outwardly similar version of the CUCV / M880 Utility truck and sells it as such. Dodge doesn't own those names, the US Army designated those names. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 22:19, 14 August 2016 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == When was the Colt Model 733 introduced? ==<br /> <br /> It was nagging me that I couldn't find the date when the Colt Model 733 was made, I scoured the internet and I personally couldn't find anything mentioning its date of introduction.

It was in the 1985 colt catalogue but cant find an appearance of it earlier than that, and I believe that the type of stock that it is fitted with was introduced in 1985 for Colt's new carbines, like the 733 along with the 723. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 08:36, 24 July 2016 (EDT)<br /> ::Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Not sure, but I think that Colt had even stopped making the slickside uppers by this point, as I think that the last SP1s were in 1985 and they were using up existing stock. It wasn't until June 1985 when a contract was signed with Colt to deliver XM4 prototype rifles that a design was actually cemented and it was given its actual designation: <br /> ::::''&quot;Design to utilize the newly adopted M855 Ball and M856 tracer cartridges. Also to be compatible with existing M193 Ball and M196 tracer ammunition as well as M200 blank cartridges. The carbine will use the current M16A2 upper receiver and three-round limited burst control. The carbine will use an improved handguard to enhance firing/handling under normal operation conditions. The carbine shall have a collapsible/sliding stock. Barrel should be 14 1/2 inches in length. Mean Rounds Between Stoppages (MRBS) will equal or exceed 600 rounds when using issue M855 ammunition. The carbine will be configured to accept MILES laser transmitter as well as the M203 grenade launcher.&quot;''<br /> :::I imagine that it was always their intent to use A2 receivers, as when the program was first launched they wanted maximum parts compatibility with the standard issue M16A2 (which was adopted by the USMC in 1983, a year before they started looking into a new carbine). --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 10:43, 13 October 2017 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == M16 Toy Gun ==<br /> <br /> I found this image in the IMFDB page for [[The Green Berets]].

Even though the M4 has the SIR handgurad, it's possible for the XM177 has a SIR handgurad.

There aim is to make extra variants so they can make more money while still using the moulds that they have. That is why all of these guns use A1 style receivers, like [[Media:WellFire M16A2 airsoft.jpg|this &quot;M16A2&quot;]] and [[Media:Wellfire M4 RIS.jpg|this &quot;M4A1 RIS&quot;]]. The latter has a flat top, but it is still missing the brass deflector as the mould is based off of an A1 one. Also, note that all 3 of these guns use the same M4 profile barrel which has been chopped off at the front of the M203 step. Similarly, they all use A1 pistol grips to save on different parts. None of the cheap springers like this (even if they have different brand names they tend to be made in the same factories or use the same tooling) are very accurate replicas of particular guns, as that is not their goal. They want to crank out as many varieties as they can for as little cost as possible. Lastly, the flash hider is irrelevant to anything, as it is neither an A1 or A2 as it is symmetric like the A1 but this flash hider only has 4 ports rather than the correct 6. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 16:55, 30 December 2017 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Rare XM177s ==<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Handgaurd.jpg]]<br /> A Rare handguard with a 57mm recoilless rifle shell during the Vietnam War.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 Prototype?.jpg]]<br /> I think this is a prototype Handguard.<br /> <br /> [[File:XM177 With A1 Hider.jpg]]<br /> XM177E1 with A1 Flash Hider used by the MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War.--[[User:Treliazz777|Treliazz777]] ([[User talk:Treliazz777|talk]]) 00:12, 4 January 2018 (EST)</div>
