STANAG Magazine
A STANAG magazine or NATO magazine is a type of detachable firearm magazine proposed by NATO in October 1980. Shortly after NATO's acceptance of the 5.56×45mm NATO rifle cartridge, Draft Standardization Agreement ( STANAG) 4179 was proposed in order to allow NATO members to easily share rifle ammunition and magazines down to the individual soldier level. The U.S. M16 rifle's magazine proportions were proposed for standardization. Many NATO members, but not all, subsequently developed or purchased rifles with the ability to accept this type of magazine. However, the standard was never ratified and remains a "Draft STANAG". Magazines The STANAG magazine concept is only an interface, dimensional and controls (magazine latch, bolt stop, etc.) requirement. Therefore, it not only allows one type of magazine to interface with various weapon systems, but also allows STANAG magazines to be made in various configurations and capacities. The standard capacities of STANAG-compatible mag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stanag Mags
In NATO, a standardization agreement (STANAG, redundant acronym, redundantly: STANAG agreement) defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common military or technical procedures or equipment between the member countries of the alliance. Each NATO state ratifies a STANAG and implements it within its own military. The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and logistics, so one member nation's military may use the stores and support of another member's military. STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information systems (CIS) essential for NATO and Allied operations. The Allied Data Publication 34 (ADatP-34) NATO Interoperability Standards and Profiles which is covered by STANAG 5524, maintains a catalogue of relevant Information and communications technology, information and communication technology standards. STANAGs are published in English language, English and French ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

R5 RGP
R5 RGP (Remington Gas Piston) is a carbine that was designed and manufactured by Remington Arms. It is an AR-15 type rifle which uses a unique mid-length gas piston operating system in an attempt to improve the reliability of the weapon, and featured a monolithic upper, as the upper receiver and handguard were machined as a single piece. The R5 was available from Remington until some time prior to 2016. A Remington representative compared it to the expensive HK 416, and that how the R5 was double the price. It is assumed that the weapon did not sell as expected and was thus removed from offer.

Norinco CQ
The Type CQ is an unlicensed Chinese variant of the M16 rifle manufactured by Norinco. According to the Norinco website, the rifle is officially known as CQ 5.56. It can be distinguished from other AR-15 and M16 pattern rifles by its long, revolver-like pistol grip, somewhat rounded handguards, and the unique shape of its stock. History China began manufacturing weapons that were captured during the Vietnam War from the Americans and their allies after North Vietnam, Khmer Rouge and Pathet Lao forces handed it over to them and as well as other communist allies such as Warsaw Pact and North Korea for evaluation. The CQ was first introduced in the early 1980s. This weapon is chambered for 5.56×45mm cartridges and it was intended for export sales.

Marine Scout Sniper Rifle
The Marine Scout Sniper Rifle (MSSR) is a Philippine semi-automatic designated marksman rifle developed by the Philippine Marine Corps for their Marine Scout Snipers. Designed in the mid-1990s to replace severely-outdated battle rifles then used as marksman rifles, the MSSR is essentially an M16A1 that has been heavily modified and accurized to serve as a marksman rifle. Since its introduction, marksman rifles that are derivatives of the MSSR have been designed for other purposes by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, namely the Night Fighting Weapon System (NFWS), an integrally-suppressed variant for night combat; the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR), a variant for the Philippine Army; and the Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR), a carbine variant. Development The system was developed in-house under the direction of then Col. Jonathan Martir, PN (M) (GSC), N-6 in 1996 to replace the M1C Garand and M14 rifle, which were still in Philippine service as marksman rifles. The MSSR ...

LWRC M6
The M6 is a series of carbines designed and manufactured by LWRC International. It is based on the M4 carbine, with which it shares 80% of its parts. The 'M' model name is not a US military designation. Like the HK416, it features a proprietary short-stroke self-regulating gas piston system and bolt carrier/carrier key design, which prevents trapped gases from contacting the bolt carrier or receiver of the weapon. The manufacturer claims that this reduces the heating and carbon fouling of the internals, simplifies field maintenance, and improves reliability. Standard length barrel is 16.1 in, featuring a 1:7″ twist (six lands, right twist) barrel with a ferritic nitrocarburized surface conversion which covers the barrel, inside and out, as well as the piston components. Barrel lengths of 10.5″, 12.7″, 14.7″ and 18″ (available for select models) are available. Variants M6 The M6 is LWRC's most basic model. It is the most similar to the M4, but it still has ...
