Classic Army has done it again. This 2007 release of the Vietnam M15 XM177 adds another great rifle to their arsenal collection. The XM177 is a shortened version of the M16A1 assault rfile. It was one of the first commando length M16s and was used primarily by special operations personnel in the vietnam war. The CA M15A1 Carbine is an accurate representation of this famous assault rifle. It features a M16A1 style metal body that has a fixed carry handle and lacks the shell deflector of the M16A2. The XM177 flashhider and the short VN hi-cap magazine give this airsoft gun a unique look. Also, it is constructed from improved materials. The Hand Guard, Pistol Grip, and Retractable Stock are now Nylon & Glass Fiber. The gun includes steel gears, a metal Hop-up Chamber, and a new High Speed / High Torque Motor.
The M16 is still a general-issue rifle with the US Armed forces. It is also widely used by the US Law Enforcement agencies, either in military form (for example, the LAPD had some M16s, retired from Army), or in "civilian" semi-automatic only form. The AR-15 style rifles are made in the USA by at least a dozen large companies, such as Armalite, Bushmaster, Colt, FN Manufacturing, Hesse, Les Baer, Olympic, Wilson Combat, and by a number of smaller companies, many of which do assemble their rifles from components made by some other major manufacturers. M16-type rifles also manufactured outside of the USA, most notably in Canada, by Diemaco Co. China also makes some AR-15 type rifles at NORINCO state factories. M16 rifles are used by many foreign military groups, most notably the British SAS, who preferred the M16 over the infamous L85A1 rifle, and by many others
