Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR)

-

Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR) is the production name for an updated version of the Masada Adaptive Combat Weapon System. It is self-loading rifle platform designed by Magpul Industries of Erie, Colorado. It may be the assset of the Unites States Army and SOCOM in 2010.


It may well be the next generation tool for future warfare..the uniqueness of that weapon is that Magpul Masada design represents an amalgamation of several recent rifle designs, incorporating what is considered by its designers to be the best features of each in a single, lightweight, modular rifle platform. In other words 1 modular riffle platform with multiple known riffle configuration.


It is expected that the rifle will be offered to military customers in 5.56mm NATO round,7.62x39mm round, 6.8mm Remington SPC, and 6.5 Grendel by having the user just switch out the barrel, bolt face, and magazine to change calibers. It is also expected that the ACR will have barrel length options of 10.5″, 14.5″, 16″ (commercial), and 18″.


The magazine conceived for the 5.56 mm version of the ACR rifle is called the PMag, a high-impact, 30-round polymer magazine claimed by Magpul to be significantly more resistant to wear, shock, and harsh environments than other counterparts on the market. The PMag is STANAG 4179-compatible, as it will readily fit any STANAG magazine firearm, including the M16 rifle family.

A blogger friend of mine from ahdeedas blogspot recently blog about 1:6 scale Soldier Story CIA SAD Night OPS Version 2. The 1:6 scale version of the CIA SAD operators (as my blogger friend mention and shown) does look awesome and cool but reality is far from what's shown. CIA SAD operators appearances are far from military regular standard looks of clean shave facial hair and crew cut hair style. They are normal looking paramilitary who does not dress up as the normal infantry would such as uniform or uses any of the standard issue assault riffle from the United States Armed Forces for it's combatants. Very rarely the CIA SAD operator is seen with any standard issue items from the United states Armed forces. They need,will and have to blend in with the crowds in order to achieve their task or missions. Little is known about the CIA covert unit. They are one of America's most secretive and lowest profile special ops organizations. The Special Activities Division, sometimes
