SCAR L
The Special
Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) is a modular rifle
made by FN Herstal (FNH) for theUnited States Special Operations
Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. This
family of rifles consist of two main types. The SCAR-L, for "light",
is chambered in the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and the SCAR-H, for
"heavy", fires 7.62x51mm NATO. Both are available in Long
Barrel and Close Quarters Combat variants.
The FN
SCAR systems completed low rate initial production testing in June 2007. After
some delays, the first rifles began being issued to operational units in April
2009, and a battalion of the US 75th Ranger Regiment was the first
large unit deployed into combat with 600 of the rifles in 2009. The US
Special Operations Command has currently cancelled their purchase of the Mark
16 (or MK 16) SCAR-L and are planning to remove the rifle from their inventory
by 2013. However, they will purchase the Mk 17 SCAR-H version, and also plan to
purchase 5.56 mm conversion kits for the Mk 17, supplanting the loss of
the Mk 16. The SCAR was one of the competing weapons in the Individual
Carbine competition which aimed to find a replacement for the M4 Carbine.
MK 14
The United
States Navy Mark 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR) is an American selective
fire military designated marksman rifle chambered
for the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. It is a variant of
the M14 battle rifle and was originally built for
use with units of the United States Special Operations Command,
such as the United States Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and task
specific ODA units.
The
EBRs are made with the intention of carrying out both designated
marksman and CQB roles in combat. Since 2010, theU.S. Army has
made available two M14EBR-RI rifles per infantry platoon for
units deploying to Afghanistan. The M14EBR-RI has a standard weight 22.0"
barrel and lugged GI flash hider; it is not to be confused with the Mark 14 Mod
0 or Mod 1.

It gradually replaced the M1 Garand in U.S. Army service by 1961 and in U.S. Marine Corps service by 1965. It was the standard issue infantry rifle for U.S. military personnel in the contiguous United States, Europe, and South Korea from 1959 until it was replaced by the M16 rifle in 1970.The M14 was used for U.S. Army, Coast Guard and Marine Corps basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s.

ACR
The Adaptive
Combat Rifle (ACR) is the production name for an updated version of the
Masada Adaptive Combat Weapon System. It is an assault
rifle platform designed by Magpul Industries of Erie,
Colorado. In late January 2008, Bushmaster entered into a
licensing agreement with Magpul whereby Bushmaster would
take over production, future development, and sales of the Masada. Remington
Arms is currently contracted to manufacture the rifle for the US
military and US law enforcement agencies.
The
rifle was initially developed over a period of five months and was planned to
replace the M16 completely independent of government funding. Prototypes were
displayed at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando,
Florida. Originally scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2008,
Bushmaster announced on May 16, 2008, that the consumer release would be
delayed until Q1 2009, owing to a focus on military projects. On
November 18, 2008, Bushmaster released a statement saying, "The ACR is
being redesigned to be a superior offering to compete for the next generation
US Army infantry carbine and subcompact weapon requirement and will be available
to select customers in 2009.
The ACR
was one of the weapons displayed to U.S. Army officials
during an invitation-only Industry Day on November 13, 2008. The goal of the
Industry Day was to review current carbine technology prior to writing formal
requirements for a future replacement for the M4
Carbine. The ACR was part of the Individual Carbine competition
to replace the M4.
AK47
The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault
rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail
Kalashnikov. It is officially known in the Soviet documentation as Avtomat
Kalashnikova (Russian: Автомат Калашникова). It is also
known as Kalashnikov, AK, or in Russian slang, Kalash.
Design
work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). After the war
in 1946, the AK-47 was presented for official military trials. In 1948, the
fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of
the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS (S—Skladnoy or
"folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metalshoulder
stock. In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet
Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw
Pact.
Even
after six decades the model and its variants remain the most popular and widely
used assault rifles in the world because of their substantial reliability under
harsh conditions, low production costs compared to contemporary Western
weapons, availability in virtually every geographic region and ease of use. The
AK-47 has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed
forces as well as irregular forces worldwide, and was the basis
for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. As of
2004, out of the estimated 500 million firearms worldwide, approximately 100
million belong to the Kalashnikov family, three-quarters of which are AK-47s.
G36
The Heckler & Koch G36 is a 5.56×45mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by Heckler &
Koch (H&K) in Germany as a replacement for the heavier 7.62mm G3 battle rifle. It was accepted into service with the Bundeswehr in 1995, replacing the G3. The G36 is gas-operated and feeds from a 30-round detachable box magazine or 100-round C-Mag drum magazine.
m16
Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16, is the
United States military select-fire adaptation of the AR-15 rifle. The rifle was
adapted for semi-automatic and full-automatic
fire. Colt purchased the rights to the AR-15 from ArmaLite, and currently uses that designation only for
semi-automatic versions of the rifle. The M16 fires the 5.56×45mm
NATO cartridge. The rifle entered United States Army service and
was deployed for jungle warfare operations in South
Vietnam in 1963. becoming
the U.S. military's standard service rifle of the Vietnam
War by 1969
The M16 has also been widely adopted by other
militaries around the world. Total worldwide
production of M16s has been approximately 8
million, making it the most-produced firearm of its 5.56 mm caliber. As of 2010, the U.S. Army is
supplementing the M16 in combat units with the M4
carbine, which is a smaller version of the M16
