The Special Operations Peculiar MODification (SOPMOD) kit is an accessory system for the M4A1 carbine, CQBR, FN SCAR Mk 16/17, HK416 and other weapons used by United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) special forces units, though it is not specific to SOCOM.
A semi-auto Bushmaster Dissipator barrel which uses a similar short-barrel, standard length hand-guard concept to the CAR-15 Carbine. The Model 605 CAR-15 Carbine was a shortened version of the of Colt's M16E1/M16A1 for situations where longer weapons could be unwieldy, such as inside armored vehicles, ships/boats, or helicopters. There were ...
The Robinson Armament Co. XCR is a multi-caliber, gas piston weapon system developed by Robinson Armament Co. for U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to fill the requirements of the SOF Combat Assault Rifle, [5] or SCAR competition, but was disqualified on a technicality due to late delivery of blank firing adapters.

The XM177 Commando variant of the M16 rifle used a unique flash suppressor sometimes called a flash or sound moderator for its 10-inch barrel. This device is 4.2 inches long and was designed primarily as a counterbalance measure, as the shorter barrel made the weapon unwieldy. [ 6 ]
An 18-inch (457 mm) (MOD 0/1) or 16-inch (406 mm) (MOD H) threaded-muzzle match-grade free floating stainless steel heavy barrel with a 1:7 (178 mm) rifling twist ratio is standard for the SPR. [11] [3] [13] The barrels are manufactured by Douglas Barrels with a unique contour that reduced weight but maintained rigidity for accuracy. [14]
DSAR-15P: Modified DSAR-15 featuring a short-stroke piston action derived from the HK416 and CAR 816. [12] 3 different barrel length available: 11.5 in (CQB), 14.5 in (carbine), and 16 in (rifle). [13] DSAR-15PC: Modified DSAR-15P CQB. [5] Initially selected by the ROK Armed Forces to replace the K1A SMG, but the project was later cancelled.
The M4 carbine barrel is 368 mm (14.5 in) and the XM8 barrel is 317 mm (12.5 in) but the rifles have the same overall length. Although a shorter barrel generally results in lower muzzle velocity, Polygonal rifling partially compensates for the loss of velocity from a shorter barrel. An electronic round counter was proposed for the XM8.
