The La France M16K is an M16 rifle chambered for the 5.56 mm cartridge, modified by the company La France Specialties.
Its short length and unique sighting system was designed to facilitate firing from moving vehicles. Its extremely compact envelope also makes it an ideal weapon for helicopter crews or special forces. The M16K would take the place of pistols.
History
The M16K was produced by La France beginning in 1982. This ensures that the carbine can fire at 600 rounds per minute.
