The Army's M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress
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 -
Adcor and the Demise of the Improved Carbine Competition
Adcor and the Demise of the Improved Carbine Competition 5/09/13 | by Max Slowik After five years of trials, the U.S. Army announced plans to cancel the Improved Carbine Competition on the heels of the end of its second phase. The competition would evaluate a handful of rifles that were in contention to replace the M4; the Colt ACC-M (sometimes called the ACM), the FN FNAC, the Heckler & Koch HK416, the Remington ACR and one by the upstart rifle manufacturer Adcor Defense, the BEAR Elite. In an attempt to tighten their budget, the Army has made the decision to halt the competition, saving them as much as $300 million from now through 2018. Right of the bat the Army will save $49 million in 2014, the first year of individual carbine field testing. The Army originally planned to put 30,000 rifles into service for further evaluation. Of the five rifles that were selected for phase II of the trials, three were to be put to the test in phase III. The Army is cancelling the competition before announcing which three rifles would make it to the final stage of testing, six weeks after the Inspector General audited the program. As the Army is currently in phase I of the M4 Product Improvement Program, upgrading their current M4s to M4A1s and exploring options for phase II, replacing the standard carbine handguard with a free-floating quad rail, the auditors decided that the Army doesn’t need a new rifle to replace the current crop of M4s. Phase III of the competition would have determined if these newer rifles would outperform the M4 in terms of reliability, accuracy and barrel life. -

Spring 2015 Industry Study Final Report Weapons
Spring 2015 Industry Study Final Report Weapons The Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington, D.C. 20319-5062 WEAPONS 2015 ABSTRACT: The Department of Defense finds itself at the nexus of declining defense budgets, significant requirements for modernization, ongoing conflicts, and continued requirements for highly ready forces enabled by technologically superior weaponry. Significant attention has been given to governmental policies designed to protect the taxpayer from unreasonable costs associated with defense procurements, and to rules and regulations that protect the US technological advantage from being distributed to other nations which might use that knowledge to weaken US military capability. Little governmental attention has been given to enabling the competitive atmosphere and robust market competition that would strengthen and secure a defense industrial base advantage vis-à-vis our competitors. Focused Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding coupled with meaningful export control reform are key to improving this situation.

Towards a “600 M” Lightweight General Purpose Cartridge, V2015 Part One: the Long Trend in Individual Weapons
Towards a “600 m” lightweight General Purpose Cartridge, v2015 Emeric DANIAU, DGA Techniques Terrestres, Bourges. [email protected] Additions and modifications in red, compared to previous version. Part one: the long trend in Individual Weapons From the beginning of small-arms to the 19th century, the development of hand-held weapons was driven by the need i) to increase the safety and reliability ii) to increase the practical range and iii) to increase the practical rate of fire. Safety and reliability was the first field of improvement, with the introduction of the matchlock, flintlock and percussion caps, along with improved quality controls for the black powder. Evolution of the individual weapon's practical range, against a 1.6 m standing man in average wind conditions, and practical rate of fire (RoF) is given in Figure 1. Weapons that actually entered into service are symbolized by a green dot and a black label; unsuccessful programs are symbolized by a red tag and a red label and will be detailed in this paper because unsuccessful programs provide valuable information. 1909 Rifle Program Mle 1917 Mle 49 Mle 1898D FSA 7.62 mm Mle 1907-15 FAMAS 1979 Mle 1886M 1985 MSD rifle PUC600 Mle 1866 PUC300 Mle 1874 1917-1918 Ribeyrolles carbine Mle 1857 Figure 1: Evolution of the range and rate of fire of individual weapons used by the French army during the last 150 years 1 The pre WWI industrial era After the rifled barrel came into general use, there was little to do to increase the practical range apart from increasing the muzzle velocity (a solid way to reduce the projectile time of flight to the target). -
