The '''M16 rifle series''' is the United States military designation of rifle variants of the '''ArmaLite AR-15''' assault rifle adopted by the US military. The original prototype AR-15 was developed by [[ArmaLite]] in 1956, and is a scaled down version of the [[ArmaLite AR-10]] rifle, chambered in 5.56x45mm rather than 7.62x51mm. In 1959, ArmaLite sold the rights to the AR-10 and the AR-15 to [[Colt]] due to financial difficulties, and Colt continued development on the rifle. The rifle would later be adopted by the United States military under the name "Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16".
 
The name "AR-15" today is used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles, going from the name of a single rifle to the generic name of a type of rifles that trace their ancestry to it.
 
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.
 
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 without realizing it.

=== Film ===
The '''M16''' (designated Colt Model 602 by Colt internally) is the first derivative of the ArmaLite AR-15 adopted by the United States military. The M16 was adopted in 1964 by the US Air Force in Vietnam (and a number were also given to the ARVN). The original M16 features a flat "slab side receiver", the original 3-prong flash hider, and no forward assist.
 
All appearances of the slab side M16 in movies and television shows would be either the Class III Colt M16 or the commercially available '''Colt AR-15 SP1''' rifle.  After being phased out from active duty, military M16s 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 for a movie armorer to acquire an M16 substitute was by purchasing the commercially available semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle and converting it to full auto fire. This was done in the 1970s and 1980s, and rifles of this kind were in movie armories for years.

* U.S. Marines in ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]''
The '''XM16E1''' is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, the most visible of which is the addition of the forward assist. 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. The XM16E1 also features a chrome bolt carrier, which was later dropped with the M16A1.


* L.A.P.D. SWAT in ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'' (deleted scene)
'''Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles''', usually built on an M16A1; 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.

[[Image:M16A1wA2Handguards.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt M16A1 with A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.]]
 
The '''M16A1''' is a modification of the XM16E1 to address problems found in the testing cycle of the XM16E1. Changes included a closed "birdcage" flash hider to replace the XM16E1's three-pronged flash hider, which caught on twigs and leaves, a full fence around the magazine release to prevent accidental ejection, and a chrome plated chamber - later fully lined bore - to reduce fouling. The bolt was also changed so the cam pin could not be inserted with the bolt installed backwards, which would cause failures to eject until corrected. The front pivot point is also strenghtened, giving the area in front of the magazine well a slightly different shape.

* American and ARVN Soldiers in ''[[Platoon]]''


* [[Wes Studi]] as Detective Casals in ''[[Heat]]'',  sporting the newer A2 handguards.

* U.S. Army soldiers in ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''
== M16A2 ==
[[Image:M16A2.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Colt M16A2 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtGovtModHBAR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Government Model HBAR, the A2 version of the AR-15 Civilian Rifle - 5.56x45mm (note the lack of a third position for burst mode for the selector switch)]]


* Soldiers in ''[[Day of The Dead (1985)|Day of the Dead]]''
The '''M16A2''' was developed under request by the US Marine Corps as a result of combat experience in Vietnam, and was adopted in 1982. 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 "spray and pray" usage by inexperienced users. The forward assist was changed from teardrop to round mainly as a cost-saving measure.


* U.S. military personnel, Arius' men, and [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] as John Matrix in ''[[Commando]]''
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 "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since cinematographers want the "starburst" of the flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider).


* U.S. Marines and [[Soon-Tek Oh]] as a Japanese Zero pilot in the Time Travel movie, ''[[The Final Countdown]]''
A fully automatic version of the M16A2 also exists, known as the '''M16A3'''. However, '''because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.'''


* U.S. Marines in ''[[Heartbreak Ridge]]'' (with and without MILES gear)
''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.''

* N.Y.P.D. SWAT officers in ''[[The Park is Mine]]''
The '''M16A4''' is the latest version of the M16 rifle, and is currently a service rifle in the United States Army. It 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.


* Hong Kong police in ''[[Hard Boiled]]''
Military-issue M16A4 are also equipped with a Knight's Armament Company M5 RAS railed handguard (RAS standing for "Rail Adapter System"). Such rifles were designated '''M16A4 MWS''' (Modular Weapon System) in the U.S. Army field manuals.


* [[Carrie Fisher]] as the Assassin Mystery Lady "aka"(Jakes Ex-Fiance),various State Troopers, Sheriffs Deputies, Chicago Police SWAT and U.S. Army soldiers in ''[[The Blues Brothers]]''.
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.

* ''[[American Gangster]]'' (M16A1)
A variation of the standard Colt AR-15A2 rifle that was specially selected for accuracy and then converted by the Colt factory into a "DELTA-HBAR" type rifle. The conversion consisted of a Colt installed Tasco 3-9 power variable scope (with duplex reticle) with the rubberized/armored exterior that was mounted in a special A.R.M.S. carry handle adapter. It is also fitted with a Colt marked plastic cheekpiece on the buttstock that provided a higher cheek weld for shooting with the scope and still allows the charging handle to be pulled all the way back. It has the A2 rifle configuration with a forward assist, brass deflector and fixed carrying handle with the 800 meter adjustable rear sight. It has the slabside lower receiver as used on the commercial AR-15s with the original Colt fixed A2 style improved buttstock, handguards and pistol grip. The side of the pistol grip was also affixed with a small circular "RED DELTA" symbol signifying the model. The model was also fitted with their new Colt factory "HBAR" heavy target type barrel. The left side magazine well is marked "COLT SPORTER/MATCH HBAR/CAL. 223. Some models come fitted with an adjustable folding bipod. This rifle originally would come with the Colt aluminum storage/carrying case with the original COLT label on the end of the case.


=== Television ===
This variant is well known in Japan due to it use in the ''Golgo 13'' manga series, where it's used by protagonist Duke Togo aka Golgo 13.

Post-ban version of the AR-15A2 HBAR; it has the bayonet lug deleted and features a barrel that has no threading and therefore cannot accept a muzzle brake or flash hider. A 'Competition' model was also made, incorporating a flat-top upper receiver to allow mounting of various optics. Both versions of the Match Target are available with a permanently attached compensator as a factory option.

* [[John Leguizamo]] as Pestario "Pest" Vargas in ''[[The Pest]]''
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.


* U.S. military personnel in ''[[The Day After Tomorrow]]''
''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 "budget" 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 "Plinker Plus 20"). Most of the "C7" 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.''

* Cocaine plant guards in ''[[A Man Apart]]''
Essentially a carbine version of the C7 rifle, the C8 carbine serves the same role in the Canadian Armed Forces as the M4A1 carbine serves in the US military. The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper receivers.


* [[Michael Gross]] as Burt Gummer in ''[[Tremors]]''
The C8A1 features a flat-top upper receiver, while the C8A2 introduced a heavier barrel (of the same length). Aside from the barrel profile, the most obvious visual difference compared to an M4A1 is continued use of the stock and slimmer handguard from the Model 653. The C8FTHB, later called simply C8A3, is a further improved variant with all of the upgrades of the C7A2 such as ambidextrous controls, green furniture, and the Triad rail system, as well as an M4A1-style barrel with a cutout for mounting the Canadian-pattern M203A1 grenade launcher. As such, the C8A3 is essentially a carbine-length C7A2.


* National Guard soldiers in ''[[Volcano]]''
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).


* U.S Army soldiers in ''[[Godzilla (1998)|Godzilla]]''
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.

[[File:Model 950 C7A1 LSW.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Diemaco C7A1 LSW/Colt Model 950 LMG with Parker & Hale bipod - 5.56x45mm]]
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 "Light Machine Gun" or "Automatic Rifle", however all weapons are actually made by Diemaco/Colt Canada as noted by the maple leaf stamped on the magazine well.

[[Image:Colt 639 birdcage.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 639 (commercial/export variant of the XM177E2) - 5.56x45mm. In the 70s the ATF classified the XM177E2 style 4.5" moderator as a suppressor, hence carbines manufactured after this point are fitted with a standard flash hider.]]


* [[Nicki Lynn Aycox]] as Pvt. Brenda 'Mrs. B' Mitchell in ''[[Over There]]''
During the Vietnam War, Colt made a series of M16-based carbines that were fielded by the United States military. These carbines featured short barrels and unique moderator muzzle devices, distinguishing them from other M16-based carbines. There is no official name for the entire series; common unofficial names for the series include '''CAR-15''' and '''Colt Commando''', though they are technically inaccurate names.


* [[Lizette Carrin]] as PFC Esmaralda 'Doublewide' Del Rio in ''[[Over There]]''
* '''Colt Model 607''': An early attempt by Colt to create a carbine M16 variant. It had a 10" barrel (initially with a 3-prong flash hider then a 3.5" 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. Saw minimal use in Vietnam.
* '''Colt Model 609''': Produced from late 1966 to early 1967, the Model 609 was the first Colt AR-15 Carbine to see widespread use by the US military. It was designated '''XM177E1''' by the US Army. The Model 609 / XM177E1 featured a tear drop forward assist, upgraded takedown pin assembly, a simpler two-position telescoping tubular aluminum stock, reinforced two-piece round handguards, a 10" barrel, and an improved 4.25" moderator. Earlier models featured partial fence lowers, while later models featured full fence lowers. This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", leading to the "Colt Commando" name.
* '''Colt Model 610''': A version of the Model 609 without a forward assist built for the USAF security forces. The Model 610 initially entered USAF service under the name '''XM177''', and was later given the designation '''GAU-5/A''' when formally adopted. The Model 610 is used by the USAF until recently (which is why the gun is seen on the show ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'').
* '''Colt Model 629''': In 1967, the Model 629 was officially designated the '''XM177E2'''. Very similar to the Model 609 / XM177E1, the barrel was changed from 10" to 11.5", a grenade ring was added to the 4.25" moderator, and a chromed chamber was added (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). In 1983-1984, an improved model of the XM177E2 was prototyped, which later received the designation XM4 and eventually became the M4 Carbine. The XM177E2 was the last XM177 variant used in the Vietnam War. Following the war many of these rifles were transferred to the USAF and were classified as GAU-5A/B or GAU-5/B (sources vary), and these too were later altered to the GUU-5/P standard (see below). This is the version most commonly seen as model and airsoft replicas.
* '''GUU-5/P''': In 1989, the USAF 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. Almost all USAF 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 folded into the GUU-5/P designation, and rebuilt with a new standard; they are 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 "GAU-5/P") with their original markings erased and remarked as "GUU-5/P." All have the national stock number 1005-01-042-9820 regardless of their actual configuration.

The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 were adopted by the US Army in late 1967 to early 1968 during the Vietnam War and now are no longer in use since 1994 when it was replaced by the M4 and M4A1.


* U.S. Military personnel in ''[[JAG]]''
''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.''

[[File:Colt Model 723 with M4 barrel.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 723 "M16A2 Carbine", late model with "M4" profile barrel - 5.56x45mm. 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). This particular variant of the Model 723 was adopted by U.S. Army Delta Force starting in 1988 and was their standard carbine up until adoption of the M4A1 in 1994.]]
[[Image:Coltm727ima.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 727 "M16A2 Government Carbine" - 5.56x45mm. This variant is nearly identical to the late-model Colt 723 (seen above), except that it has an M16A2-style upper receiver (with A2 rear sight) rather than the "A1E1"-style receiver of the 723. This carbine was used by U.S. Navy SEAL platoons and some other U.S. SOCOM elements (including the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment) from the late-1980s until the mid-1990s, when the M4A1 entered service.]]
[[Image:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|right|Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 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 (A2 forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]


* ''[[Conflict: Desert Storm 2 Back to Baghdad]]''
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. These had the features of the XM177 carbine series, including the telescoping stock, but have either a 14.5" or a 16" 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 "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" 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).


* ''[[America's Army]]''
In 1985, Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which is an 11.5" barreled version of the Model 653, intended for tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns have A2 style heavy barrels.  The '''Model 723''' is a '''733''' designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.


* ''[[Postal 2]]''
''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.''

==M231 Firing Port Weapon==
[[File:381portg.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M231 Firing Port Weapon - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a stripped-down, bare-bones carbine designed for US Army soldiers riding in the M2 and M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. 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. Interestingly, the Army classed it as a submachine gun, the official nomenclature being "Submachine Gun, 5.56-mm, Port, Firing, M231".

The '''M4 Carbine''' is a 14.5" barreled select fire assault rifle adopted by the United States Armed Forces.  It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. 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, by late 1994 to early 1995, the military standardized the '''Model 920''' (M4) and '''Model 921''' (M4A1), which feature a flattop upper receiver and a detachable carry handle; in spite of the receiver difference relative to the earlier Model 777, the Model 920 retained the same "M4" designation. Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable; since the early-2000s, almost all M4 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 DoD procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1. (NOTE: 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 M4A1.
 
What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine '''"The M4"''' (these weapons are often referred to as "M4geries").  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 & Koch: the latter settled out of court and changed the name of their "HK M4" to [[HK416]]) however, in 2005 it was ruled that M4 refers to a '''type''' of firearm and Colt's trademark was revoked. 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.
 
In the field, the M4/M4A1 is typically issued to standard infantry with Knight's Armament Corporation (KAC) M4 RAS railed handguards (usually holding an IR designator, a vertical foregrip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). United States Special Operations Forces have access to additional accessories through the SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification) program. The SOPMOD kit consists of various standardized accessories such as optics, laser sights, and suppressors, as well as a shortened [[M203]] grenade launcher. The core of the SOPMOD is an M4A1 Carbine with a KAC railed handguard, much like the ones used by the standard infantry. The SOPMOD program, specifically Block I of the program, was initially proposed in 1992 by United States special forces, and was developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center. Block II, which began issue in 2005, uses Daniel Defense RIS II rails (see [[M4/M4A1 Block II]] entry - below). In general usage, SOPMOD refers to M4s equipped with accessories from the SOPMOD kit, though at times the term has been used as a general name for any kind of M4 with lots of tacticool accessories.
 
The Mk 18 and Mk 12 (see below) had their origins in the SOPMOD program, originally intended as alternate upper receivers for the SOPMOD kit.

==M4/M4A1 Block II==
[[File:SOPMODBII.jpg|thumb|right|500px|M4A1 SOPMOD Block II - 5.56x45mm NATO. Note that the weapon is equipped with a '''Daniel Defense RIS II''' rail forearm, the key component of the SOPMOD II kit, and the '''distinguishing feature which makes this weapon a "Block II" M4A1.''']]
[[File:M4A1-RISII-FSP.jpg|thumb|right|500px|An M4A1 SOPMOD Block II fitted with the Daniel Defense RIS II FSP rail forearm, which has a cutout for the standard A-frame front sight post. The M4A1 RIS II FSP was the standard-issue M4A1 rail for the U.S. Army Green Berets from 2010 to 2015, though USASOC has since standardized the RIS II non-FSP (seen on the rifle pictured above).]]
[[File:DDM4A1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Daniel Defense M4A1 with Magpul PMAG - 5.56x45mm. Also known as the "Mil-Spec+", this is Daniel Defense's commercial clone of the M4A1 SOPMOD Block II - featuring a 14.5" barrel (with a pinned flash hider on the non-NFA version), the RIS II rail system, and Daniel Defense's proprietary furniture (early versions came with Magpul stocks). Currently, this DD rifle is a common stand-in for the actual SOPMOD-issue M4A1 Block II (which is based on a Colt receiver) in Hollywood.]]
In 2001, the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC - Crane Division) initiated Block II of the SOPMOD program, which called for both new accessories (optics, flashlights, etc.), as well as a new M4/M4A1 Rail Interface System (RIS) to replace the Knight's Armament Company (KAC)  forearm from Block I. Among others, SOPMOD Block II introduced accessories such as:
* Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x Scope (designated SU-230/PVS)
* EOTech 553 HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (designated SU-231/PVS)
* Insight Technology M3X Tactical Illuminator (designated SU-233/PVS)
* Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Light (ATPIAL) (designated AN/PEQ-15)
During the rail selection phase, NSWC-Crane surprised most observers when they chose a new lightweight free-floating rail forearm manufactured by a then-unknown vendor, Daniel Defense, based in Black Creek, Georgia, over competing rail designs from KAC and ARMS. In contrast to the earlier KAC rails, Daniel Defense's  design, designated '''RIS II''', extended nearly the full length of an M4's barrel, past the gas block, thereby increasing M1913 Picatinny rail space relative to the KAC rail. The RIS II was also free-floating (it had no contact with either the barrel or front sight post), and was capable of mounting the [[M203]] grenade launcher without a barrel attachment. Two versions of the RIS II exist: A version which contains a slot to fit over an M4's A-frame front sight post (known as the "RIS II FSP"), and a continuous version (simply "RIS II") which contains no FSP slot and therefore must be used with a low-profile gas block. The RIS II was first adopted by SOCOM in 2006. However, in contrast to most of the other SOPMOD Block II accessories, which began reaching operators in the field in 2007, SOCOM did not complete testing on the RIS II and issue its first major procurement contract until 2009, and Daniel Defense's own production lines initially strained to meet delivery orders on their SOCOM contract (which also limited the RIS II's availability on the commercial market). Consequently, the RIS II did not enter usage with SOCOM component personnel until after 2010, and it did not fully replace the KAC rail in SOCOM until 2016, by which point newer, modular rails had begun to usurp Picatinny quad rails on the commercial AR-15 market. Despite being a dated design relative to current AR-15 rails (e.g. those using Keymod and M-LOK attachment systems), the RIS II is currently the standard-issue M4A1 carbine rail for U.S. SOCOM.
For IMFDB's purposes, the primary difference between the traditional "Block I" M4s (above) and the M4/M4A1 Block II is that the former use the KAC rail handguards and the triangular front sight post, while the '''M4 and M4A1 Block II are distinguished by utilization of the Daniel Defense RIS II rail system''', which runs along the full length of the barrel. Note also that in the early days of the SOPMOD Block II program, it was common for SOCOM personnel to utilize M4A1s fitted with the traditional KAC rail, while still using optics and sighting devices from the Block II package; '''any M4-pattern rifle that uses a KAC rail and Block II accessories is known informally as an "M4 Block 1.5" in the AR-15 community.''' IMFDB, however, regards '''only''' the RIS II as the distinguishing feature of a "Block II" M4/M4A1 carbine.

==Colt Model 933==
[[Image:Colt m4 commando 03.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with 4-position stock and thicker A2-profile barrel - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:ColtM4commando.jpg|thumb|right|501px|Colt Model 933 with bayonet lug deleted and thinner A1-profile barrel - 5.56x45mm]]
[[Image:Colt m933 03.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt Model 933 with SIRS handguard, Aimpoint CompM2, and SureFire M900 WeaponLight foregrip - 5.56x45mm]]
The Colt Model 933 is a semi/full-auto carbine similar to the M4A1 carbine listed above, except with an 11.5" barrel as opposed to the 14.5" barrel on the M4A1. 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.
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 the U.S. military; most special operations units instead opted to use either the standard 14.5" barrel M4A1 or the 10.3" CQBR/Mk 18. The Model 933/935 proved far more popular, however, in the U.S. law enforcement market with SWAT teams, rapidly becoming the most common U.S. law enforcement M4 configuration (most notably, it is the standard carbine of FBI SWAT and HRT). It has also proven popular on the export market.

=== Facts ===
==Mk 18 Mod 1==


The A4 is often mistaken as an A3 w/ RIS rails. This is not true by any means. Two differences are the sight rails themselves (never installed on A3) and a heavier barrel.
[[File:MK18MOD1.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mk 18 Mod 1 with Crane stock, Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II rail system, and folding sights - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:Mk18Mod1SOPMOD.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Mk 18 Mod 1 with Crane stock, KAC back-up iron sights, EOTech XPS3, AN/PEQ-15 ATPIAL, vertical foregrip, and dual pressure activation switch - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:DDM4 MK18.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Daniel Defense MK18 with Magpul MOE stock and Magpul PMAG magazine - 5.56x45mm NATO. Note the DD markings on the receiver; this is Daniel Defense's Mk 18 Mod 1-spec carbine, and is commonly seen as a stand-in for the SOCOM-issue Mk 18 Mod 1 in Hollywood. (Note that this carbine features a Magpul stock and A2-style pistol grip, indicating that is older-spec; current Daniel Defense rifles and carbines feature DD proprietary stocks and pistol grips.)]]
[[File:Dd-mk18-factory.JPG|thumb|right|500px|Daniel Defense MK18 SBR with DD magazine - 5.56x45mm. Unlike the DD MK18 seen above, this is the all-black version intended for civil/law enforcement users; it lacks the FDE-colored rail seen on the SOPMOD-spec DD MK18. This particular carbine is also a newer production model than the rifle above and features Daniel Defense proprietary stock and pistol grip.]]


== Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series ==
The Mk 18 Mod 1 differs from the earlier Mk 18 Mod 0 (above) in that it utilizes the Daniel Defense RIS II free-floating rail system, often with a low-profile gas block; as with the [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Block II|M4/M4A1 Block II]], the Mark 18 Mod 1 was a product of the SOPMOD Block II program. (''NOTE: See the [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Block II|M4/M4A1 Block II]] entry for more details on SOPMOD Block II and the origins of the RIS II.'') '''For IMFDB's purposes, the usage of the RIS II is the single feature which distinguishes the Mk 18 Mod 1 from the Mk 18 Mod 0.'''
[[Image:XM177E2-1-.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Colt Commando 5.56mm]]
[[Image:CAR-15Rifle.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Commercial CAR-15 semiautomatic Rifle - 5.56mm.  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.]]
During the Vietnam War, Colt made several short barreled carbines that were fielded.  The '''Colt Model 607''' (called the CAR-15 in the US Market) was designated the '''XM177''' in Vietnam. It had a slab side receiver just like the original AR-15s.  The '''Colt Model 609''' was designated the '''XM177E1''', where they added a forward assist, raised rib around the mag button and a chromed chamber (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle).  This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", thus known as the "Colt Commando" back in the States.  The '''Colt Model 610''' was a version 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). The '''Colt Model 629''' was officially designated the '''XM177E2''' having changed the barrel from 10" to 11.5" and slightly changing the flash hider/sound suppressor. This is the version '''most seen''' as replica and airsoft guns throughout the world. 


''Movie Armorer's note:  Since the ATF viewed the flashhider 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. ''' All 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. ''
Also note that Daniel Defense offers the DDM4 MK18, a clone of the Mk 18 Mod 1 which is very often seen in Hollywood as a stand-in for the actual SOCOM-issue Mk 18 Mod 1s (which are built on refurbished M16A1 lower receivers). Pictures of two different DD MK18s are included on this page for reference.

[[File:Colt IAR.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Colt IAR with Vltor MOD stock and Magpul PMag - 5.56x45mm]]


The '''Colt IAR''' (Infantry Automatic Rifle) is an automatic rifle derivative of the M16 developed by Colt Defense in response to a Purchase Description for an Infantry Automatic Rifle submitted by the United States Marine Corps to the small arms industry in March 2008. Developmental contracts of the IAR were awarded to Colt Defense, FN Manufacturing Inc. ([[FN SCAR|FN IAR]]) and Heckler & Koch ([[Heckler & Koch M27 IAR|Heckler & Koch IAR]]). Colt Defense developed two models of the IAR to be tested, the IAR6940 and the IAR6940H (as well as an external piston prototype IAR6940P that was not trialled), the latter featuring Knight's Armament Company designed components. The USMC contract was eventually awarded to the Heckler & Koch design, leading to the adoption of the M27 IAR.

[[Image:ColtM654.jpg‎|thumb|375px|right|Colt Model 654 - a Model 653 designed for export - 14.5" barrel and no forward Assist - 5.56mm]]
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.  The '''Model 653''' was sold in the US as the SP1 Carbine or AR-15 Carbine. It had the features of the XM177 rifle series, including the telescoping stock, but had either a 14.5" or a 16" lightweight barrel, depending on the demands of the customer, whether domestic or foreign.  ''It was NOT correct for Viet Nam, despite what the movie '''[[Platoon]]''' portrays.'' Though 'unofficially' called the "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US Military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" designation.  It was used in the U.S. by Federal and local law enforcement. 


Colt also made the '''Model 733''', which was a 11.5" 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.
* '''Feed System:''' [[STANAG]]
[[Image:R6520-A2Carbine.jpg‎|thumb|400px|right|Model 725 - aka the Colt R6520 A2 Govt. Model Carbine - 5.56mm NATO]]
''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.  ''


* '''Fire Modes:''' Semi-Auto, Full-Auto

=Commercial Copies of the M16 Rifle series=
Many of the guns seen as '''Colt''' model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms.  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.

== M4 Carbine ==
==Luvo Arms LA-15==

[[Image:LA-15 caliber 300 AAC BLACKOUT.jpg|thumb|right|500px|LUVO Arms LA-15 with Magpul MBUS sights - .300 AAC BLACKOUT]]
[[Image:ColtM4.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Colt M4A1 Carbine - 5.56mm]]
The LUVO Arms LA-15 is a Czech semi-automatic rifle produced by the Prague-based company Luvo Arms. It is structurally identical to the M16/M4.  
The M4 Carbine is a 14.5" barreled select fire Assault Rifle. It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher.  It has a flat top receiver that can be outfitted with the detachable handle with iron sights or not.  Many of them in the battlefield are customized with forearm rails (usually holding the ANPEQ IR designator, a pistol grip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes).


What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine '''"The M4"'''.  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 U.S. Army and built by Colt (or FN on contract).  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.

The '''LaFrance Specialties M16K''' is a compact version of the M16 produced by LaFrance Specialties of San Diego, California. It features a 21cm barrel, making its total length just 60cm with its stock collapsed. Developed in the early 1980s, the weapon was intended for military and law enforcement, but found few major buyers. A .45 ACP version known as the M16K-45 was also produced; LaFrance also produces a shortened M14 known as the M14K.


* TNT and rescue team members in ''[[Bad Boys II]]''
To improve reliability, the M16K features an adjustable gas system with an expansion chamber and second enclosed tube, which also reduces its rate of fire to less than 600 rpm. Due to the significant modification to the handguard, the M16K features a new front sight aperture on its carry handle. Later M16K models have round handguards, standard M16-styled front sight post, and accessory rails.


* SWAT officers and [[Nick Stahl]] as John Connor in ''[[Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines]]'' (fitted with various accessories including Surefire M500AB weaponlights and C-More red dot sights)

== Olympic Arms K3B ==


* Carver's henchmen and [[Götz Otto]] as Richard Stamper in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' (Stamper using one fitted with an M203 grenade launcher)
"K3B" is the generic model description that Olympic Arms gave to its AR-15 carbines. An enormous number of variations of the K3B carbines exist, so the list below is a partial attempt at explaining the different variations, based on era of manufacture:


* NSA Agents in ''[[xXx: State of the Union]]'' (fitted with Surefire M500AB weaponlights)
* K3Bs manufactured from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s' were typically marked as "M.F.R." (Multi-Function Rifle) on the lower receiver and featured a variety of receiver and barrel styles. Originally, they featured A1-style upper and lower receivers, but by the early-1990s, Olympic Arms standardized A2-style lowers (distinguished by the reinforced area at the receiver extension), and offered customers either A1E1 or A2-style upper receivers. Olympic Arms also offered the carbines with either 16" lightweight ("pencil") barrels or 16" heavy barrels (similar, but not identical, to the Colt HBAR carbine barrels). The most distinctive barrel option was an 11.5" version of the heavy barrel which featured a permanently attached 5.5" flash hider designed to mimic the look of the [[XM177]] moderator/flash hider, thereby giving civilian customers an [[XM177]]-style carbine without having to file for an NFA tax stamp. This last variation of the K3B, known as the "K3B CAR" was purchased by multiple Hollywood rental armories (notably Gibbons, Ltd.) and frequently appears in 1990s action films and TV series, such as ''[[The Rock]]''.


* [[Marton Csokas]] as Yorgi, [[Jan Pavel Filipensky]] as Viktor, and Yorgi's henchmen in ''[[XXX]]'' (fitted with M68 Aimpoint scopes, Beta-C mags, and RIS foregrips, Yorgi using one with a Surefire M900 weaponlight foregrip)
* After the passage of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban in the United States, Olympic Arms largely ceased production of the K3B series for the civilian market - its post-ban "PCR XX" (with the "XX" standing for year of production) carbines featured similar barrels to the pre-1994 carbines, but also featured fixed stocks and no bayonet lugs or flash hiders, since inclusion of these items violated the "features test" of the ban. However, Olympic Arms did continue to produce K3Bs for the law enforcement market (marked PCR, as on the post-ban civilian guns), and even introduced new features - such as a proprietary flattop upper receiver with a Weaver rail (in the days before the Colt flattop with an upper M1913 Picatinny rail became standardized). Some of the early Weaver-rail flattop K3Bs with 11.5" barrels were purchased by Tom Felcan, the largest rental armory in Vancouver, British Columbia, and have appeared in some productions filmed in that area - though since the 2000s, most have had their 11.5" barrels replaced with 14.5" M4-profile barrels.


* William Stryker's men in ''[[X2]]'' (fitted with M500AB weaponlights)
* When the AWB expired in 2004, Olympic Arms resumed production of the K3B series for the civilian market, and also introduced a host of new feature options on these carbines in order to keep pace with trends in the AR-15 world at the time. Due to the influence of the U.S. military's [[M4]] Carbine weapon system, Olympic Arms introduced "M4gery" style carbines which featured flattop M1913 Picatinny uppers and 16" M4-profile barrels (known as the "K3B MIL4"), though A2-style uppers and heavy-profile barrels were also still offered as options. Some K3B models also featured lower-profile gas blocks, and post-2005, most featured a "waffle-style" stock, copied from the design of the Colt "LE" stock that had been introduced for the M4 in 2001. The post-2004 carbines also tend to be marked "M.F.R." on the lower receiver, just like the longer-barreled K4B and other rifles in the product line.


* U.S. Army soldiers including [[Jeremy Renner]] as Doyle in ''[[28 Weeks Later]]'' (Renner using one fitted with RIS foregrip, EO-Tech red dot sight, and a night vision scope)

This weapon is a common stand-in for the XM177 in Hollywood productions made in the 1990s.]]

==Olympic Arms K4B==


* U.S. military personnel in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''
"K4B" is the generic model description that Olympic Arms gave to its 20" M16 clone rifles. As with the K3Bs (described above), the specifications for the weapon changed over time. K4Bs manufactured from the late-1980s through the mid-1990s' were typically marked "M.F.R." on the lower receiver and featured 20" heavy-contour barrels (similar - but not identical - to the Colt HBAR barrel), either A1E1 or A2-style upper receivers, and either A1 or A2-style lower receivers (the latter distinguished by the reinforced area at the receiver extension). In some cases, the weapons were also sold with Olympic Arms' proprietary "Stowaway" pistol grip, though this was not a standard feature. After the passage of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban in the United States, the "banned" configuration of the K4B was re-marked as  "PCR XX" (with the "XX" standing for year of production) on the left side of the lower receiver, with "Export & Law Enforcement Only" on the right side, indicating that it could only be sold to law enforcement, while the civilian versions of the PCR series lacked the bayonet lug and flash hider. When the AWB expired in 2004, Olympic Arms resumed production of the K4B for the civilian market in more-or-less the pre-ban configuration, though A2 upper and lower receivers were fully standardized (the A1E1 upper would be available only on the budget "Plinker Plus" configuration), and flattop receivers were also advertised as an option. The "no-ban" configurations, like the pre-1994 rifles, were also marked as "M.F.R." on the lower receiver.


* Pittsburg P.D. SWAT officers on ''[[The Kill Point]]''
For IMFDB reference: The most common K4B configuration seen in movies is the version which closely resembles the [[Colt Model 715|Colt 715/Colt Canada C7 Rifle]]; these weapons were purchased and converted to blank-fire by Felcan Enterprises, the largest rental armory in Vancouver, British Columbia, and frequently appear in productions filmed in that area - they are often recognizable by their "Stowaway" pistol grips. Gibbons, Ltd. in Los Angeles also purchased K4B rifles that are nearly identical to the [[M16A2]] and often used as stand-ins for the former U.S. service rifle in productions used in Los Angeles. If you see an M16A2-style rifle in a movie made in the 1990s, there's a good chance that you're actually seeing an Olympic Arms K4B.

Rifles of this type have appeared in several Canadian productions, including ''[[The X-Files]]'', ''[[Millennium]]'', and ''[[Dark Angel (TV Series)|Dark Angel]]'', among others.]]

The K23B (unofficially known as the "Stubby") is an Olympic Arms carbine which features a 6.5" barrel designed for law enforcement entry teams. While it was the shortest AR-15 variant on the market at the time of its introduction, initial prototypes had nearly unmanageable recoil and questionable reliability. Most production models featured the proprietary "Pigtail" gas tube – a full-length gas tube which wrapped around the barrel - in order to allow the gas to achieve a more normal length of travel (for a carbine AR) from the gas block to upper receiver, and thus reduce recoil. The K23B also featured either a free-floating aluminum handguard (a shorter variation of that found on Olympic Arms' Match-grade rifles), or (on later models) a quad rail handguard. Otherwise, the lower receiver group components were all identical to the longer-barreled K3B carbines - Olympic Arms did not use a heavier buffer weight or recoil spring to manage recoil, as found on more modern short-barreled ARs. Additionally, much like the K3B, the K23B was originally sold with either an A1E1 or an A2-style upper receiver. By 1994, Olympic Arms had introduced its first flattop upper receivers with a Weaver rail - this flattop version of the K23B has appeared often in productions filmed in British Columbia, Canada (notably: ''[[Stargate: SG1]]'', where it was the basis for the [[Stargate SG-1 - Season 7#"Carter Special" Micro 16 Carbine|"Carter Special"]] used by [[Amanda Tapping]] in later seasons). A pistol version of the gun (with no stock) was also sold on the U.S. civilian market as a Title I firearm.

* ''[[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]]''
The '''CQ''' rifle is a Chinese copy of the M16A1. The rifle was produced by Factory 216, a.k.a. Changqing Machinery (now known as Huaqing Machinery; Changqing is also the origin of the CQ name), and first began production in 1983. The rifle is made in both select-fire and semi-auto-only versions. Norinco exports both versions of the rifle under the name '''Model 311'''.


* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''
The CQ / Norinco Model 311 can be differentiated by the grips, front sight, stock, and handguard. The Model 311 is also produced by DIO of Iran as the S-5.56 and in modified form as the [[DIO KH2002]].


* Cuban Army soldiers, L.A.P.D. SWAT, and Tokyo SWAT in ''[[Kane and Lynch: Dead Men]]''
Variants of the CQ include:


* U.S. Army Soldiers in ''[[Combat Mission: Shock Force]]'' (with M68 Aimpoint sight and optional M203 grenade launcher)
* '''CQ''': M16A1 clone
* '''CQ-A''': M4 clone (see below); allegedly also uses the name '''CS/LR2'''
* '''CQ-B''': M16A4 clone; lacks most of the identifiable features of Chinese M16 rifles and thus is almost indistinguishable from the M16A4
* '''CQ-C''': Colt Model 750 LMG clone; also observed under the name '''CS/LM11'''
* '''CQ-D''': CQ variant with railed handguard

* One of the Merovingian's henchmen in ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]''
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 access to hard rubber training M16 replicas (nicknamed the "rubber duck"), it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s.  Metal replica guns that were commercially available were thus used for these non-firing purposes.


* Special operations soldiers in ''[[The Siege]]''
Model Gun Corporation (MGC) 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). Early model MGC M16 replicas can be distinguished from the real M16 by the fake forward assist on these models, which are actually bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify.


=== Video Games ===
There is also the '''MGC XM177 Commando''' carbine variant, listed in the catalog<!--Which catalog?--> as the '''CAR-15'''. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal and not plastic, and it did not telescope unlike the real weapons.  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.


* ''[[Enter the Matrix]]'' (as the "9mm Carbine")
MGC replicas are likely the most used M16 replica in film and television productions.

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 95%; background-color:#ffffff"
Many of the guns seen as '''Colt''' model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many various other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms.  The most common clones are the guns made by Bushmaster, PWA, Eagle Arms.  Though there are now many semiautomatic 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 part 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.

Made in Italy and imported into the US 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 "20 round magazine" 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 .22 LR 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.

If you've seen a movie with M16s in it, chances are you've seen many replicas of the rifle on camera. 
<BR Clear=All>


In the following, the use of a metal replica M16 was (painfully) obvious:
==Armscor M16 22==
[[File:ArmscorpM1622.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Armscor (Squires Bingham of the Philippines) M16 22 rifle - .22 LR.  Sometimes sold as the ''M-1600'']]
[[File:M1600 Collapsible.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Armscor M16 22 with collapsible stock and full wrap-around handguard - .22 LR]]
Armscor (out of the Philippines) made another .22LR clone rifle, the Armscor M16 22, however this rifle looked even less like a real M16 and was rarely (if ever) used in a film to impersonate an M16 rifle.

==Crosman M4-177==
[[File:Crossman M4-177.jpg|thumb|right|500px|none|Crosman M4-177 - .177 pellets/BBs]]
The '''Crosman M4-177''' is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M4 carbine. 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 "pumped" 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.


* '''[[Uncommon Valor]]''' : in any of the armory scenes or flashback scenes of soldiers not firing their M16s, the MGC M16 is evident.

The '''Crosman Air 17''' is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M16 rifle. It is most easily distinguished from a genuine M16 by the pump tube under the barrel, rounded rear receiver and blockish magazine well. The rifle feeds from either a 5 round pellet clip (which must be manually indexed with each shot) or from an integral gravity fed BB magazine (which is topped up from an integral hopper). To charge the rifle for each shot it must be "pumped" once each time by pulling down on the handguard. 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.


* '''[[Hulk]]''' : when the Hulk explodes out of the ground on Powell Street in San Francisco, many of the U.S. Army Soldiers were carrying MGC-16 replica rifles (in addition to real AR15-A2 rifles). One of the soldiers holding the fake rifle has a closeup in one of the 'split screen' shots of their reaction to the Hulk.

ArmaLite AR-15, first pre-production model, serial number XAR1501 - 5.56x45mm

The M16 rifle series is the United States military designation of rifle variants of the ArmaLite AR-15 assault rifle adopted by the US military. The original prototype AR-15 was developed by ArmaLite in 1956, and is a scaled down version of the ArmaLite AR-10 rifle, chambered in 5.56x45mm rather than 7.62x51mm. In 1959, ArmaLite sold the rights to the AR-10 and the AR-15 to Colt due to financial difficulties, and Colt continued development on the rifle. The rifle would later be adopted by the United States military under the name "Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16".

The name "AR-15" today is used almost exclusively to refer to the semi-automatic (commercially available) civilian version(s) of the M16 and M4 assault rifles, going from the name of a single rifle to the generic name of a type of rifles that trace their ancestry to it.

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.

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 without realizing it.

For help identifying AR-15 variants, see the Colt AR-15 Identification Guide.

Please check the talk page for additional variants not shown on the main page.

The M16 (designated Colt Model 602 by Colt internally) is the first derivative of the ArmaLite AR-15 adopted by the United States military. The M16 was adopted in 1964 by the US Air Force in Vietnam (and a number were also given to the ARVN). The original M16 features a flat "slab side receiver", the original 3-prong flash hider, and no forward assist.

All appearances of the slab side M16 in movies and television shows would be either the Class III Colt M16 or the commercially available Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle. After being phased out from active duty, military M16s 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 for a movie armorer to acquire an M16 substitute was by purchasing the commercially available semiautomatic Colt AR-15 SP1 rifle and converting it to full auto fire. This was done in the 1970s and 1980s, and rifles of this kind were in movie armories for years.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mockup of an XM16E1 (built from an M16A1 as the base) with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. This example is the screen-used rifle used by Mel Gibson in We Were Soldiers.

The XM16E1 is a modified variant of the original M16 which featured several improvements, the most visible of which is the addition of the forward assist. 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. The XM16E1 also features a chrome bolt carrier, which was later dropped with the M16A1.

Many examples in recent films are actually 'faux' XM16E1 rifles, usually built on an M16A1; 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.

Colt M16A1 with A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available. The same thing has been done vice-versa, Using M16A2's with A1 handguards for Vietnam War B Movies.

The M16A1 is a modification of the XM16E1 to address problems found in the testing cycle of the XM16E1. Changes included a closed "birdcage" flash hider to replace the XM16E1's three-pronged flash hider, which caught on twigs and leaves, a full fence around the magazine release to prevent accidental ejection, and a chrome plated chamber - later fully lined bore - to reduce fouling. The bolt was also changed so the cam pin could not be inserted with the bolt installed backwards, which would cause failures to eject until corrected. The front pivot point is also strenghtened, giving the area in front of the magazine well a slightly different shape.

M16A2

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Colt M16A2 - 5.56x45mm
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Colt Government Model HBAR, the A2 version of the AR-15 Civilian Rifle - 5.56x45mm (note the lack of a third position for burst mode for the selector switch)

The M16A2 was developed under request by the US Marine Corps as a result of combat experience in Vietnam, and was adopted in 1982. 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 "spray and pray" usage by inexperienced users. The forward assist was changed from teardrop to round mainly as a cost-saving measure.

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 "M16A2" rifles have the A1 Birdcage flash hider installed, since cinematographers want the "starburst" of the flash to go all the way around, not just divert upwards (as is the case with the correct A2 Flash hider).

A fully automatic version of the M16A2 also exists, known as the M16A3. However, because nearly all movie "M16A2s" fire full automatic, it is not IMFDB policy to designate these rifles as "M16A3s" when identifying them in movies, since in nearly all cases they are intended to pass for M16A2s.

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.

M16A4 MWS with ACOG and grippod - 5.56x45mm. Note the cut-out in the KAC M5 RAS.

The M16A4 is the latest version of the M16 rifle, and is currently a service rifle in the United States Army. It 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.

Military-issue M16A4 are also equipped with a Knight's Armament Company M5 RAS railed handguard (RAS standing for "Rail Adapter System"). Such rifles were designated M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) in the U.S. Army field manuals.

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.

Colt Delta HBAR with bipod - .223 Remington

A variation of the standard Colt AR-15A2 rifle that was specially selected for accuracy and then converted by the Colt factory into a "DELTA-HBAR" type rifle. The conversion consisted of a Colt installed Tasco 3-9 power variable scope (with duplex reticle) with the rubberized/armored exterior that was mounted in a special A.R.M.S. carry handle adapter. It is also fitted with a Colt marked plastic cheekpiece on the buttstock that provided a higher cheek weld for shooting with the scope and still allows the charging handle to be pulled all the way back. It has the A2 rifle configuration with a forward assist, brass deflector and fixed carrying handle with the 800 meter adjustable rear sight. It has the slabside lower receiver as used on the commercial AR-15s with the original Colt fixed A2 style improved buttstock, handguards and pistol grip. The side of the pistol grip was also affixed with a small circular "RED DELTA" symbol signifying the model. The model was also fitted with their new Colt factory "HBAR" heavy target type barrel. The left side magazine well is marked "COLT SPORTER/MATCH HBAR/CAL. 223. Some models come fitted with an adjustable folding bipod. This rifle originally would come with the Colt aluminum storage/carrying case with the original COLT label on the end of the case.

This variant is well known in Japan due to it use in the Golgo 13 manga series, where it's used by protagonist Duke Togo aka Golgo 13.

Post-ban version of the AR-15A2 HBAR; it has the bayonet lug deleted and features a barrel that has no threading and therefore cannot accept a muzzle brake or flash hider. A 'Competition' model was also made, incorporating a flat-top upper receiver to allow mounting of various optics. Both versions of the Match Target are available with a permanently attached compensator as a factory option.

Colt Sporter I Carbine - 5.56x45mm. Colt's public offering of a lightweight carbine based on the AR-15 Platform. This rifle has been erroneously called "the M16 Shorty" for years by Law Enforcement and Firearms "authors". The "M16 Shorty" or "Shorty Carbine" have never been authorized or used names for the rifle by Colt or the Government.

Colt Sporter II Carbine with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. Colt model #R-6420. Colt still insisted on using the SP1 style lower receiver so any rifle that looks like this but has the fencing around the magazine release button is not a Colt rifle. Variants of this rifle have both the round and tear drop forward assist buttons, however, most of the early years of production had the tear drop button, like this rifle in the photo.

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.

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 "budget" 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 "Plinker Plus 20"). Most of the "C7" 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.

Essentially a carbine version of the C7 rifle, the C8 carbine serves the same role in the Canadian Armed Forces as the M4A1 carbine serves in the US military. The original C8 is virtually identical to the Colt Model 653 carbine, while later variants introduced heavier barrels and flat-top upper receivers.

The C8A1 features a flat-top upper receiver, while the C8A2 introduced a heavier barrel (of the same length). Aside from the barrel profile, the most obvious visual difference compared to an M4A1 is continued use of the stock and slimmer handguard from the Model 653. The C8FTHB, later called simply C8A3, is a further improved variant with all of the upgrades of the C7A2 such as ambidextrous controls, green furniture, and the Triad rail system, as well as an M4A1-style barrel with a cutout for mounting the Canadian-pattern M203A1 grenade launcher. As such, the C8A3 is essentially a carbine-length C7A2.

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).

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.

Diemaco C7A1 LSW/Colt Model 950 LMG with Parker & Hale bipod - 5.56x45mm

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 "Light Machine Gun" or "Automatic Rifle", however all weapons are actually made by Diemaco/Colt Canada as noted by the maple leaf stamped on the magazine well.

Colt Model 639 (commercial/export variant of the XM177E2) - 5.56x45mm. In the 70s the ATF classified the XM177E2 style 4.5" moderator as a suppressor, hence carbines manufactured after this point are fitted with a standard flash hider.

During the Vietnam War, Colt made a series of M16-based carbines that were fielded by the United States military. These carbines featured short barrels and unique moderator muzzle devices, distinguishing them from other M16-based carbines. There is no official name for the entire series; common unofficial names for the series include CAR-15 and Colt Commando, though they are technically inaccurate names.

  • Colt Model 607: An early attempt by Colt to create a carbine M16 variant. It had a 10" barrel (initially with a 3-prong flash hider then a 3.5" 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. Saw minimal use in Vietnam.
  • Colt Model 609: Produced from late 1966 to early 1967, the Model 609 was the first Colt AR-15 Carbine to see widespread use by the US military. It was designated XM177E1 by the US Army. The Model 609 / XM177E1 featured a tear drop forward assist, upgraded takedown pin assembly, a simpler two-position telescoping tubular aluminum stock, reinforced two-piece round handguards, a 10" barrel, and an improved 4.25" moderator. Earlier models featured partial fence lowers, while later models featured full fence lowers. This version was also where they started stamping the receivers "Commando", leading to the "Colt Commando" name.
  • Colt Model 610: A version of the Model 609 without a forward assist built for the USAF security forces. The Model 610 initially entered USAF service under the name XM177, and was later given the designation GAU-5/A when formally adopted. The Model 610 is used by the USAF until recently (which is why the gun is seen on the show Stargate: SG1).
  • Colt Model 629: In 1967, the Model 629 was officially designated the XM177E2. Very similar to the Model 609 / XM177E1, the barrel was changed from 10" to 11.5", a grenade ring was added to the 4.25" moderator, and a chromed chamber was added (the same modifications made to the A1 upgrade of the M16 rifle). In 1983-1984, an improved model of the XM177E2 was prototyped, which later received the designation XM4 and eventually became the M4 Carbine. The XM177E2 was the last XM177 variant used in the Vietnam War. Following the war many of these rifles were transferred to the USAF and were classified as GAU-5A/B or GAU-5/B (sources vary), and these too were later altered to the GUU-5/P standard (see below). This is the version most commonly seen as model and airsoft replicas.
  • GUU-5/P: In 1989, the USAF 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. Almost all USAF 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 folded into the GUU-5/P designation, and rebuilt with a new standard; they are 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 "GAU-5/P") with their original markings erased and remarked as "GUU-5/P." All have the national stock number 1005-01-042-9820 regardless of their actual configuration.

The XM177E1 and the XM177E2 were adopted by the US Army in late 1967 to early 1968 during the Vietnam War and now are no longer in use since 1994 when it was replaced by the M4 and M4A1.

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.

Colt Model 723 "M16A2 Carbine", late model with "M4" profile barrel - 5.56x45mm. 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). This particular variant of the Model 723 was adopted by U.S. Army Delta Force starting in 1988 and was their standard carbine up until adoption of the M4A1 in 1994.

This variant is nearly identical to the late-model Colt 723 (seen above), except that it has an M16A2-style upper receiver (with A2 rear sight) rather than the "A1E1"-style receiver of the 723. This carbine was used by U.S. Navy SEAL platoons and some other U.S. SOCOM elements (including the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment) from the late-1980s until the mid-1990s, when the M4A1 entered service.

Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 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 (A2 forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.

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. These had the features of the XM177 carbine series, including the telescoping stock, but have either a 14.5" or a 16" 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 "M16 Shorty" by some writers and shooters, the 16" barreled lightweight carbine was never adopted formally by the US military, and thus never had an "M" or "XM" 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).

In 1985, Colt also made the Model 733, which is an 11.5" barreled version of the Model 653, intended for tactical police and security work. Later manufactured versions of both guns have A2 style heavy barrels. The Model 723 is a 733 designed for export for the UAE and used by US Delta Force.

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.

M231 Firing Port Weapon - 5.56x45mm NATO

The M231 Firing Port Weapon is a stripped-down, bare-bones carbine designed for US Army soldiers riding in the M2 and M3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. 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. Interestingly, the Army classed it as a submachine gun, the official nomenclature being "Submachine Gun, 5.56-mm, Port, Firing, M231".

The M4 Carbine is a 14.5" barreled select fire assault rifle adopted by the United States Armed Forces. It has a distinctive 'step down' in the barrel to allow for mounting the M203 grenade launcher. 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, by late 1994 to early 1995, the military standardized the Model 920 (M4) and Model 921 (M4A1), which feature a flattop upper receiver and a detachable carry handle; in spite of the receiver difference relative to the earlier Model 777, the Model 920 retained the same "M4" designation. Contrary to popular misconception, the carry handles on most M4s and M4A1s are detachable; since the early-2000s, almost all M4 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 DoD procurement program has always been concerned, the burst/auto capability is the only difference between an M4 and M4A1. (NOTE: 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 M4A1.

What is confusing is that many civilian commercial makers of AR-15 style rifles call their 16" Carbine "The M4" (these weapons are often referred to as "M4geries"). 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 & Koch: the latter settled out of court and changed the name of their "HK M4" to HK416) however, in 2005 it was ruled that M4 refers to a type of firearm and Colt's trademark was revoked. 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.

In the field, the M4/M4A1 is typically issued to standard infantry with Knight's Armament Corporation (KAC) M4 RAS railed handguards (usually holding an IR designator, a vertical foregrip, sometimes a flashlight, or one of many types of rifle scopes and red-dot or reflex optics). United States Special Operations Forces have access to additional accessories through the SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification) program. The SOPMOD kit consists of various standardized accessories such as optics, laser sights, and suppressors, as well as a shortened M203 grenade launcher. The core of the SOPMOD is an M4A1 Carbine with a KAC railed handguard, much like the ones used by the standard infantry. The SOPMOD program, specifically Block I of the program, was initially proposed in 1992 by United States special forces, and was developed by the Naval Surface Warfare Center. Block II, which began issue in 2005, uses Daniel Defense RIS II rails (see M4/M4A1 Block II entry - below). In general usage, SOPMOD refers to M4s equipped with accessories from the SOPMOD kit, though at times the term has been used as a general name for any kind of M4 with lots of tacticool accessories.

The Mk 18 and Mk 12 (see below) had their origins in the SOPMOD program, originally intended as alternate upper receivers for the SOPMOD kit.

M4/M4A1 Block II

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
M4A1 SOPMOD Block II - 5.56x45mm NATO. Note that the weapon is equipped with a Daniel Defense RIS II rail forearm, the key component of the SOPMOD II kit, and the distinguishing feature which makes this weapon a "Block II" M4A1.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
An M4A1 SOPMOD Block II fitted with the Daniel Defense RIS II FSP rail forearm, which has a cutout for the standard A-frame front sight post. The M4A1 RIS II FSP was the standard-issue M4A1 rail for the U.S. Army Green Berets from 2010 to 2015, though USASOC has since standardized the RIS II non-FSP (seen on the rifle pictured above).
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Daniel Defense M4A1 with Magpul PMAG - 5.56x45mm. Also known as the "Mil-Spec+", this is Daniel Defense's commercial clone of the M4A1 SOPMOD Block II - featuring a 14.5" barrel (with a pinned flash hider on the non-NFA version), the RIS II rail system, and Daniel Defense's proprietary furniture (early versions came with Magpul stocks). Currently, this DD rifle is a common stand-in for the actual SOPMOD-issue M4A1 Block II (which is based on a Colt receiver) in Hollywood.

In 2001, the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC - Crane Division) initiated Block II of the SOPMOD program, which called for both new accessories (optics, flashlights, etc.), as well as a new M4/M4A1 Rail Interface System (RIS) to replace the Knight's Armament Company (KAC) forearm from Block I. Among others, SOPMOD Block II introduced accessories such as:

  • Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x Scope (designated SU-230/PVS)
  • EOTech 553 HOLOgraphic Weapon Sight (designated SU-231/PVS)
  • Insight Technology M3X Tactical Illuminator (designated SU-233/PVS)
  • Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Light (ATPIAL) (designated AN/PEQ-15)

During the rail selection phase, NSWC-Crane surprised most observers when they chose a new lightweight free-floating rail forearm manufactured by a then-unknown vendor, Daniel Defense, based in Black Creek, Georgia, over competing rail designs from KAC and ARMS. In contrast to the earlier KAC rails, Daniel Defense's design, designated RIS II, extended nearly the full length of an M4's barrel, past the gas block, thereby increasing M1913 Picatinny rail space relative to the KAC rail. The RIS II was also free-floating (it had no contact with either the barrel or front sight post), and was capable of mounting the M203 grenade launcher without a barrel attachment. Two versions of the RIS II exist: A version which contains a slot to fit over an M4's A-frame front sight post (known as the "RIS II FSP"), and a continuous version (simply "RIS II") which contains no FSP slot and therefore must be used with a low-profile gas block. The RIS II was first adopted by SOCOM in 2006. However, in contrast to most of the other SOPMOD Block II accessories, which began reaching operators in the field in 2007, SOCOM did not complete testing on the RIS II and issue its first major procurement contract until 2009, and Daniel Defense's own production lines initially strained to meet delivery orders on their SOCOM contract (which also limited the RIS II's availability on the commercial market). Consequently, the RIS II did not enter usage with SOCOM component personnel until after 2010, and it did not fully replace the KAC rail in SOCOM until 2016, by which point newer, modular rails had begun to usurp Picatinny quad rails on the commercial AR-15 market. Despite being a dated design relative to current AR-15 rails (e.g. those using Keymod and M-LOK attachment systems), the RIS II is currently the standard-issue M4A1 carbine rail for U.S. SOCOM.

For IMFDB's purposes, the primary difference between the traditional "Block I" M4s (above) and the M4/M4A1 Block II is that the former use the KAC rail handguards and the triangular front sight post, while the M4 and M4A1 Block II are distinguished by utilization of the Daniel Defense RIS II rail system, which runs along the full length of the barrel. Note also that in the early days of the SOPMOD Block II program, it was common for SOCOM personnel to utilize M4A1s fitted with the traditional KAC rail, while still using optics and sighting devices from the Block II package; any M4-pattern rifle that uses a KAC rail and Block II accessories is known informally as an "M4 Block 1.5" in the AR-15 community. IMFDB, however, regards only the RIS II as the distinguishing feature of a "Block II" M4/M4A1 carbine.

Colt Model 933 with SIRS handguard, Aimpoint CompM2, and SureFire M900 WeaponLight foregrip - 5.56x45mm

The Colt Model 933 is a semi/full-auto carbine similar to the M4A1 carbine listed above, except with an 11.5" barrel as opposed to the 14.5" barrel on the M4A1. 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.

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 ([1]). However, beyond the USMC, the Model 933/935 saw little acceptance in the U.S. military; most special operations units instead opted to use either the standard 14.5" barrel M4A1 or the 10.3" CQBR/Mk 18. The Model 933/935 proved far more popular, however, in the U.S. law enforcement market with SWAT teams, rapidly becoming the most common U.S. law enforcement M4 configuration (most notably, it is the standard carbine of FBI SWAT and HRT). It has also proven popular on the export market.

Daniel Defense MK18 with Magpul MOE stock and Magpul PMAG magazine - 5.56x45mm NATO. Note the DD markings on the receiver; this is Daniel Defense's Mk 18 Mod 1-spec carbine, and is commonly seen as a stand-in for the SOCOM-issue Mk 18 Mod 1 in Hollywood. (Note that this carbine features a Magpul stock and A2-style pistol grip, indicating that is older-spec; current Daniel Defense rifles and carbines feature DD proprietary stocks and pistol grips.)
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Daniel Defense MK18 SBR with DD magazine - 5.56x45mm. Unlike the DD MK18 seen above, this is the all-black version intended for civil/law enforcement users; it lacks the FDE-colored rail seen on the SOPMOD-spec DD MK18. This particular carbine is also a newer production model than the rifle above and features Daniel Defense proprietary stock and pistol grip.

The Mk 18 Mod 1 differs from the earlier Mk 18 Mod 0 (above) in that it utilizes the Daniel Defense RIS II free-floating rail system, often with a low-profile gas block; as with the M4/M4A1 Block II, the Mark 18 Mod 1 was a product of the SOPMOD Block II program. (NOTE: See the M4/M4A1 Block II entry for more details on SOPMOD Block II and the origins of the RIS II.) For IMFDB's purposes, the usage of the RIS II is the single feature which distinguishes the Mk 18 Mod 1 from the Mk 18 Mod 0.

Also note that Daniel Defense offers the DDM4 MK18, a clone of the Mk 18 Mod 1 which is very often seen in Hollywood as a stand-in for the actual SOCOM-issue Mk 18 Mod 1s (which are built on refurbished M16A1 lower receivers). Pictures of two different DD MK18s are included on this page for reference.

The "M4A1" of the civilian world, this rifle has a 16" barrel (as opposed to the M4A1's 14.5") with step-cuts to attach a launcher such as an M203 grenade launcher and the Cobray 37mm Launcher. In films, this gun has been converted to full auto to trick viewers into believing it is an M4A1, earning it the nickname "M4gery".

Colt IAR

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Colt IAR with Vltor MOD stock and Magpul PMag - 5.56x45mm

The Colt IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) is an automatic rifle derivative of the M16 developed by Colt Defense in response to a Purchase Description for an Infantry Automatic Rifle submitted by the United States Marine Corps to the small arms industry in March 2008. Developmental contracts of the IAR were awarded to Colt Defense, FN Manufacturing Inc. (FN IAR) and Heckler & Koch (Heckler & Koch IAR). Colt Defense developed two models of the IAR to be tested, the IAR6940 and the IAR6940H (as well as an external piston prototype IAR6940P that was not trialled), the latter featuring Knight's Armament Company designed components. The USMC contract was eventually awarded to the Heckler & Koch design, leading to the adoption of the M27 IAR. Colt dropped the IAR6940H model and began attempting to market the IAR6940 commercially as simply the Colt IAR.

Commercial Copies of the M16 Rifle series

Many of the guns seen as Colt model guns aren't Colt at all, but the many other manufacturer copies of the M16/AR-15 series of firearms. 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.

LaFrance Specialties M16K w/ Forward Assist - 5.56x45mm

The LaFrance Specialties M16K is a compact version of the M16 produced by LaFrance Specialties of San Diego, California. It features a 21cm barrel, making its total length just 60cm with its stock collapsed. Developed in the early 1980s, the weapon was intended for military and law enforcement, but found few major buyers. A .45 ACP version known as the M16K-45 was also produced; LaFrance also produces a shortened M14 known as the M14K.

To improve reliability, the M16K features an adjustable gas system with an expansion chamber and second enclosed tube, which also reduces its rate of fire to less than 600 rpm. Due to the significant modification to the handguard, the M16K features a new front sight aperture on its carry handle. Later M16K models have round handguards, standard M16-styled front sight post, and accessory rails.

The creator of the M16K, Tim LaFrance, worked as a film armorer in the 1980s, and a number of M16Ks are seen in some films and TV shows of the period.

Olympic Arms K3B

"K3B" is the generic model description that Olympic Arms gave to its AR-15 carbines. An enormous number of variations of the K3B carbines exist, so the list below is a partial attempt at explaining the different variations, based on era of manufacture:

  • K3Bs manufactured from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s' were typically marked as "M.F.R." (Multi-Function Rifle) on the lower receiver and featured a variety of receiver and barrel styles. Originally, they featured A1-style upper and lower receivers, but by the early-1990s, Olympic Arms standardized A2-style lowers (distinguished by the reinforced area at the receiver extension), and offered customers either A1E1 or A2-style upper receivers. Olympic Arms also offered the carbines with either 16" lightweight ("pencil") barrels or 16" heavy barrels (similar, but not identical, to the Colt HBAR carbine barrels). The most distinctive barrel option was an 11.5" version of the heavy barrel which featured a permanently attached 5.5" flash hider designed to mimic the look of the XM177 moderator/flash hider, thereby giving civilian customers an XM177-style carbine without having to file for an NFA tax stamp. This last variation of the K3B, known as the "K3B CAR" was purchased by multiple Hollywood rental armories (notably Gibbons, Ltd.) and frequently appears in 1990s action films and TV series, such as The Rock.
  • After the passage of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban in the United States, Olympic Arms largely ceased production of the K3B series for the civilian market - its post-ban "PCR XX" (with the "XX" standing for year of production) carbines featured similar barrels to the pre-1994 carbines, but also featured fixed stocks and no bayonet lugs or flash hiders, since inclusion of these items violated the "features test" of the ban. However, Olympic Arms did continue to produce K3Bs for the law enforcement market (marked PCR, as on the post-ban civilian guns), and even introduced new features - such as a proprietary flattop upper receiver with a Weaver rail (in the days before the Colt flattop with an upper M1913 Picatinny rail became standardized). Some of the early Weaver-rail flattop K3Bs with 11.5" barrels were purchased by Tom Felcan, the largest rental armory in Vancouver, British Columbia, and have appeared in some productions filmed in that area - though since the 2000s, most have had their 11.5" barrels replaced with 14.5" M4-profile barrels.
  • When the AWB expired in 2004, Olympic Arms resumed production of the K3B series for the civilian market, and also introduced a host of new feature options on these carbines in order to keep pace with trends in the AR-15 world at the time. Due to the influence of the U.S. military's M4 Carbine weapon system, Olympic Arms introduced "M4gery" style carbines which featured flattop M1913 Picatinny uppers and 16" M4-profile barrels (known as the "K3B MIL4"), though A2-style uppers and heavy-profile barrels were also still offered as options. Some K3B models also featured lower-profile gas blocks, and post-2005, most featured a "waffle-style" stock, copied from the design of the Colt "LE" stock that had been introduced for the M4 in 2001. The post-2004 carbines also tend to be marked "M.F.R." on the lower receiver, just like the longer-barreled K4B and other rifles in the product line.

This weapon is a common stand-in for the XM177 in Hollywood productions made in the 1990s.

Olympic Arms K4B

"K4B" is the generic model description that Olympic Arms gave to its 20" M16 clone rifles. As with the K3Bs (described above), the specifications for the weapon changed over time. K4Bs manufactured from the late-1980s through the mid-1990s' were typically marked "M.F.R." on the lower receiver and featured 20" heavy-contour barrels (similar - but not identical - to the Colt HBAR barrel), either A1E1 or A2-style upper receivers, and either A1 or A2-style lower receivers (the latter distinguished by the reinforced area at the receiver extension). In some cases, the weapons were also sold with Olympic Arms' proprietary "Stowaway" pistol grip, though this was not a standard feature. After the passage of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban in the United States, the "banned" configuration of the K4B was re-marked as "PCR XX" (with the "XX" standing for year of production) on the left side of the lower receiver, with "Export & Law Enforcement Only" on the right side, indicating that it could only be sold to law enforcement, while the civilian versions of the PCR series lacked the bayonet lug and flash hider. When the AWB expired in 2004, Olympic Arms resumed production of the K4B for the civilian market in more-or-less the pre-ban configuration, though A2 upper and lower receivers were fully standardized (the A1E1 upper would be available only on the budget "Plinker Plus" configuration), and flattop receivers were also advertised as an option. The "no-ban" configurations, like the pre-1994 rifles, were also marked as "M.F.R." on the lower receiver.

For IMFDB reference: The most common K4B configuration seen in movies is the version which closely resembles the Colt 715/Colt Canada C7 Rifle; these weapons were purchased and converted to blank-fire by Felcan Enterprises, the largest rental armory in Vancouver, British Columbia, and frequently appear in productions filmed in that area - they are often recognizable by their "Stowaway" pistol grips. Gibbons, Ltd. in Los Angeles also purchased K4B rifles that are nearly identical to the M16A2 and often used as stand-ins for the former U.S. service rifle in productions used in Los Angeles. If you see an M16A2-style rifle in a movie made in the 1990s, there's a good chance that you're actually seeing an Olympic Arms K4B.

Olympic Arms K23B Tactical with RIS foregrip - 5.56x45mm

The K23B (unofficially known as the "Stubby") is an Olympic Arms carbine which features a 6.5" barrel designed for law enforcement entry teams. While it was the shortest AR-15 variant on the market at the time of its introduction, initial prototypes had nearly unmanageable recoil and questionable reliability. Most production models featured the proprietary "Pigtail" gas tube – a full-length gas tube which wrapped around the barrel - in order to allow the gas to achieve a more normal length of travel (for a carbine AR) from the gas block to upper receiver, and thus reduce recoil. The K23B also featured either a free-floating aluminum handguard (a shorter variation of that found on Olympic Arms' Match-grade rifles), or (on later models) a quad rail handguard. Otherwise, the lower receiver group components were all identical to the longer-barreled K3B carbines - Olympic Arms did not use a heavier buffer weight or recoil spring to manage recoil, as found on more modern short-barreled ARs. Additionally, much like the K3B, the K23B was originally sold with either an A1E1 or an A2-style upper receiver. By 1994, Olympic Arms had introduced its first flattop upper receivers with a Weaver rail - this flattop version of the K23B has appeared often in productions filmed in British Columbia, Canada (notably: Stargate: SG1, where it was the basis for the "Carter Special" used by Amanda Tapping in later seasons). A pistol version of the gun (with no stock) was also sold on the U.S. civilian market as a Title I firearm.

CS/LM11 - 5.56x45mm NATO

The CQ rifle is a Chinese copy of the M16A1. The rifle was produced by Factory 216, a.k.a. Changqing Machinery (now known as Huaqing Machinery; Changqing is also the origin of the CQ name), and first began production in 1983. The rifle is made in both select-fire and semi-auto-only versions. Norinco exports both versions of the rifle under the name Model 311.

The CQ / Norinco Model 311 can be differentiated by the grips, front sight, stock, and handguard. The Model 311 is also produced by DIO of Iran as the S-5.56 and in modified form as the DIO KH2002.

Variants of the CQ include:

  • CQ: M16A1 clone
  • CQ-A: M4 clone (see below); allegedly also uses the name CS/LR2
  • CQ-B: M16A4 clone; lacks most of the identifiable features of Chinese M16 rifles and thus is almost indistinguishable from the M16A4
  • CQ-C: Colt Model 750 LMG clone; also observed under the name CS/LM11
  • CQ-D: CQ variant with railed handguard

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 access to hard rubber training M16 replicas (nicknamed the "rubber duck"), it was not readily available on demand for the movie prop houses of the 1970s and the 1980s. Metal replica guns that were commercially available were thus used for these non-firing purposes.

Model Gun Corporation (MGC) 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). Early model MGC M16 replicas can be distinguished from the real M16 by the fake forward assist on these models, which are actually bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify.

There is also the MGC XM177 Commando carbine variant, listed in the catalog as the CAR-15. This replica rifle was built on the same MGC M16 receiver, however the buttstock was pot metal and not plastic, and it did not telescope unlike the real weapons. 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.

MGC replicas are likely the most used M16 replica in film and television productions.

.22 LR Replicas

Adler-Jager AP-74/Armi-Jager AP-15

Armi-Jager AP-15 - .22 LR. The AP-15 has a slab side receiver and a tiny ejection port (for the .22 brass) and a birdcage flash hider. The AP-74 has a three prong flash hider.

Adler-Jager AP-74 - .22 LR. Note the sharply angled three prong flash hider and the forward assist, which differentiates it from the AP-15.

Made in Italy and imported into the US 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 "20 round magazine" 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 .22 LR 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.

Crosman M4-177 - .177 pellets/BBs

The Crosman M4-177 is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M4 carbine. 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 "pumped" 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.

The Crosman Air 17 is a pump action air rifle built in the general form of an M16 rifle. It is most easily distinguished from a genuine M16 by the pump tube under the barrel, rounded rear receiver and blockish magazine well. The rifle feeds from either a 5 round pellet clip (which must be manually indexed with each shot) or from an integral gravity fed BB magazine (which is topped up from an integral hopper). To charge the rifle for each shot it must be "pumped" once each time by pulling down on the handguard. 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.
