Rifles

The U.S. Army has successfully completed airborne drop testing of its next-generation, compact thermal weapon sight.

The Cold War-era M249 Squad Automatic Weapon could remain in the arsenal for decades to come.

The U.S. Army named the five gunmakers it selected to build prototypes of the Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle.

The Army recently six gunmakers a contract to build prototypes for its Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle program.

The semi-automatic rifle will provide better protection for pilots and aircrew downed in enemy territory.

U.S. Army weapons officials have expanded the list of submachine gun-style weapons the service plans to test.

Marine Corps M16 rifles and M4 carbines are passing a new safety check designed to catch a potentially dangerous glitch.

Army units have reported about 3K M4s have failed a safety inspection because of a potential glitch in the selector switch.

The contract was awarded to H&K in Ashburn, Virginia, to supply the service with as many as 15,000 M27 IARs and spare parts.

By choosing the already-fielded Heckler & Koch M27, the service saved up to $24 million, top leaders told Congress.
