    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.

  • Thompson Brochure 9Th Edition.Indd
    9th Edition Own A Piece Of American History Thompson Submachine Gun General John T. Thompson, a graduate of West Point, began his research in 1915 for an automatic weapon to supply the American military. World War I was dragging on and casualties were mounting. Having served in the U.S. Army’s ordnance supplies and logistics, General Thompson understood that greater fi repower was needed to end the war. Thompson was driven to create a lightweight, fully automatic fi rearm that would be effective against the contemporary machine gun. His idea was “a one-man, hand held machine gun. A trench broom!” The fi rst shipment of Thompson prototypes arrived on the dock in New York for shipment to Europe on November 11, 1918 the day that the War ended. In 1919, Thompson directed Auto-Ordnance to modify the gun for nonmilitary use. The gun, classifi ed a “submachine gun” to denote a small, hand-held, fully automatic fi rearm chambered for pistol ammunition, was offi cially named the “Thompson submachine gun” to honor the man most responsible for its creation. With military and police sales low, Auto-Ordnance sold its submachine guns through every legal outlet it could. A Thompson submachine gun could be purchased either by mail order, or from the local hardware or sporting goods store. Trusted Companion for Troops It was, also, in the mid ‘20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an Dillinger’s Choice offi cial military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol While Auto-Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun in the open market in the ‘20s, boats along the eastern seaboard.

  • The History of Firearm Magazines and Magazine Prohibitions
    KOPEL 3/17/2015 11:41 AM THE HISTORY OF FIREARM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINE PROHIBITIONS David B. Kopel* I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prohibition of firearms magazines has become an important topic of law and policy debate. This article details the history of magazines and of magazine prohibition. The article then applies the historical facts to the methodologies of leading cases that have looked to history to analyze the constitutionality of gun control laws. Because ten rounds is an oft-proposed figure for magazine bans, Part II of the article provides the story of such magazines from the sixteenth century onward. Although some people think that multi- shot guns did not appear until Samuel Colt invented the revolver in the 1830s, multi-shot guns predate Colonel Colt by over two centuries.1 Especially because the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller2 considers whether arms are “in common use” and are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,”3 the article also pays attention to whether and when particular guns and their magazines achieved mass-market success in the United States. The first time a rifle with more than ten rounds of ammunition did so was in 1866,4 and the first time a * Adjunct Professor of Advanced Constitutional Law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law.

  • Firearm Magazines
    FIREARMS REGISTRY Firearm Magazines In NSW, firearms are classified according to calibre, method of firing and magazine capacity. Magazine capacity can determine what category a firearm will fall into, which in turn determines what type of licence is required to authorise possession and use. This FACT sheet provides information on fixed and detachable firearm magazines and the restrictions applicable to each. What is a firearm magazine? A firearm magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm and is defined as a firearm part under section 4 of the Firearms Act 1996. A magazine may be internal or external, with the external magazine being detachable. The magazine functions by moving the cartridges stored in the magazine into a position where they may be loaded into the chamber by the action of the firearm. Magazines come in many shapes and sizes and are an essential part of any repeating firearm, therefore they are subject to regulation and legislative control which restricts the number of cartridges they may hold. What magazines are restricted and are there any exemptions for obtaining a prohibited weapon permit? The following detachable magazines are defined as prohibited weapons by clause 4(4) to Schedule 1 of the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998: (a) a rimfire rifle magazine with a capacity of more than 15 rounds, (b) a centre-fire self-loading rifle magazine with a capacity of more than 5 rounds, (c) a centre-fire rifle magazine (other than a self-loading rifle magazine) with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, (d) a shotgun magazine with a capacity of more than 5 rounds, (e) a tubular magazine extension that is capable of extending the capacity of any firearm, (f) a pistol magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, (g) any magazine designed to be attached to any machine gun, sub-machine gun or other firearm that is capable of propelling projectiles in rapid succession following one pressure of the trigger.

  • The Early Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle As Issued 1902-1932
    The Early Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle as Issued 1902-1932 By Kirk E. Brumbaugh "The essence of infantry tactics consists in breaking clown the enemy's resistance by the weight and direction of its fire, and then completing Ms overthrow by assault. Although the enemy may not await the assault, infantry must be constantly animated with the desire to close with him. Troops under cover, unless enfiladed, can seldom be forced to retire by fire alone, and a decision by fire, even if possible, takes long to obtain. To drive an enemy from the field, assault, or the immediate threat of it, is almost always necessary." General Staff, War Office, Field Service Regulations. Part I (London: HMSO 1909 as amended 1912) The history of the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifle is intertwined with events which set the strategic and 1 •fi tactical environment in which it was thrust when first issued in 1903. As a "weapons system," the Lee rifle, designed by American James Paris Lee, had been in British service for over a decade, first as a long rifle (1888), later also as a car- bine (1894). Combat experience in the Sudan in 1898, and the Boer War of 1899-1902, revealed the limitations of the rifle and carbine in their then current form and led to a fun- damental overhaul of British Army Doctrine and thought on how training, and development of a new rifle, should take place. Armies are frequently accused of planning for the "last war." For Britain and Empire forces, the period of 1900 through 1914 demonstrated exactly that.
