the “big stick” of American infantry squads for decades, providing near-instant firepower while also allowing the grenadier to defend themselves if confronted by a threat unsuitable for a grenade.

and casing deflector integrated into the upper, and a M16A2 marked lower with “SAFE”/”SEMI”/”BURST”
markings around the right handed selector. Fitted with a checkered pistol grip and fixed buttstock. The
bolt carrier is marked “C” and the bolt head “MPC”, both matte finished. Both the safe and semi-automatic
positions work as marked, with the internals configured to produce a two-round burst instead of the
A2-standard three on the “BURST” setting.

mechanism is single action, cocking automatically as the barrel is closed, with a spring hook extractor for
the spent casing.
