1.5x optical sight The Colt MARS (mini-assault rifle system) was an experimental, scaled-down variant of the M16 rifle tested by Colt as a personal defense weapon (PDW) around 1997. [ 2 ] It was chambered for the experimental 5.56×30mm MARS cartridge which is a shortened 5.56×45mm NATO round.
The Close Quarter Battle Receiver (CQBR) [5] is a replacement upper receiver for the M4A1 carbine developed by the US Navy.. The CQBR features a 10.3 in (262 mm) length barrel (similar to the Colt Commando short-barreled M16 variants of the past) which makes the weapon significantly more compact, thus making it easier to use in, and around, vehicles and in tight, confined spaces.
Standard length barrel is 16.1 in, with 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.
Arguably, the criticisms about range, accuracy, and lethality are related to the change in barrel length and twist between the M16 and M4. The earlier 5.56 rounds (the original M193) were optimized for a 20-inch (51 cm) barrel with a 1:12 twist. In 1980 STANAG 4172 defined the 5.56×45mm NATO chambering and its accompanying 1:7 twist rifling. [38]
