M2 CORPORATION INTRODUCES THE M16X
According to the M2 Corporation their new M16X is the shortest defensive M16 commercially produced in the world today. The M16X has a sight radius of only 9.25 inches, yet is precise enough to deliver accurate aimed fire within a recommended effective range of 50 yards. With the distinctive M2 design front sight system, targets are easy to acquire, identify and engage. The M16X has more firepower and is more compact than any other submachine gun. It fires standard 5.56 NATO, either M193 or equivalent, at over 1610 fps. Similar to their M16SP, the M16X shares the same technology that allows the M2 family of compact 5.56mm weapons to function reliably-magazine after magazine. When it comes to pure punching power in small packages, there is no substitute. The M16X has it all; concealment, power and accuracy. The M16X has a rate of fire of 650 to 700 rounds per minute. Standard equipment with the M16X includes muzzle caps, cleaning kit, 1 magazine, operators manual, deployment case and a Vortex flash hider. Optional accessories include laser aimers, laser designators, passive aimers, passive night vision aimers, a tactical harness, additional magazines and a bird cage flash hider or Recoil Brake.
