PART I Copyright © 2013 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Item 1. Business Company overview Colt Defense LLC was formed in 2002 as a Delaware limited liability company as a result of the re-organization of Colts Manufacturing Company, Inc. (Colts Manufacturing). The defense and law enforcement rifle business, under Colt Defense, was separated from the commercial handgun business. Through their respective affiliates, Sciens Management LLC, referred to herein as Sciens Management, and funds managed by an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, L.P., referred to herein as the Blackstone Funds, beneficially own a substantial portion of Colt Defenses limited liability company interests. We are one of the worlds leading designers, developers and manufacturers of small arms weapons systems for individual soldiers and law enforcement personnel. We have supplied small arms weapons systems to more than 80 countries by expanding our portfolio of products and services to meet evolving military and law enforcement requirements around the world. Our products have proven themselves under the most severe and varied battle conditions. We also modify our rifles and carbines for civilian use and sell them to Colts Manufacturing, which sells them into the commercial market. We have historically been the U.S. militarys sole supplier of the M4 carbine, the U.S. Armys standard issue rifle, the Canadian militarys exclusive supplier of the C8 carbine and C7 rifle and a supplier of other small arms weapons systems to U.S., Canadian and international law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, our development and sales of M4 carbines and over 50 years of sales of M16 rifles have resulted in a global installed base of more than 7 million M16/M4 small arms weapons systems. Our expertise in designing and manufacturing small arms weapons systems enables us to integrate new technologies and features to upgrade our large installed base, develop international co-production opportunities and capitalize on our experience building to stringent military standards to make commercial rifles and carbines with exceptional reliability, performance and accuracy. We trace our history to Colonel Samuel Colt, who launched a company that is part of American folklore. A post-Civil War slogan stated, Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal.

    The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces June 8, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22888 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The M-4 carbine is the Army’s primary individual combat weapon for infantry units. While there have been concerns raised by some about the M-4’s reliability and lethality, some studies suggest that the M-4 is performing well and is viewed favorably by users. The Army is undertaking both the M4 Carbine Improvement Program and the Individual Carbine Competition, the former to identify ways to improve the current weapon, and the latter to conduct an open competition among small arms manufacturers for a follow-on weapon. An integrated product team comprising representatives from the Infantry Center; the Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center; the Program Executive Office Soldier; and each of the armed services will assess proposed improvements to the M4. The proposal for the industry-wide competition is currently before the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, and with the anticipated approval, solicitation for industry submissions could begin this fall. It is expected, however, that a selection for a follow-on weapon will not occur before FY2013, and that fielding of a new weapon would take an additional three to four years. This report will be updated as events warrant. Congressional Research Service The

  • Small Arms… As a Last Resort
    1 Small Arms… As a Last Resort By Phil D. Harrison One can only contemplate the fearful moment of realisation that a situation has become dire, there are few options available, and in reality there will be ‘no quarter’ from your adversaries. At such a critical moment there is a desperate need for all systems, including small arms, to work flawlessly. The following Article discusses three historic battles, where such a situation arose. This Article aims to focus on dismounted infantry small arms and should not be considered as an exhaustive account of the battles or the circumstances surrounding those battles. I have also tried to address the small arms ‘bigger picture.’ This Article is my endeavour to better appreciate the role of small arms at three influential moments in history. The following is a ‘distillation’ of the information available in the public domain and consequently, there may be disappointment for those seeking new research findings. I hope that this ‘distillation’ may be helpful to those looking for insights into these events. The topic deserves a more lengthy discourse than can be afforded here and therefore, much has been omitted. The three battles discussed are as follows: th th (1) Ia Drang; November 14 -15 1965 (with reference to Hill 881; April-May 1967) (2) Mirbat: July 19th, 1972 (3) Wanat: July 13th, 2008 2 th th (1) Ia Drang; November 14 -15 1965 (with reference to Hill 881; April-May 1967) Above photo by Mike Alford LZ-Albany LZ-X Ray http://www.generalhieu.com/iadrang_arvn-2.htm 3 As an introduction I would like to mention a brief Article from: The Milwaukee Sentinel, of Tuesday 23rd may, 1967 entitled: Men Killed Trying to Unjam Rifles, Marine Writes Home.
