Posted: 8/10/2012 10:57:34 AM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Sneak peak: DRD Tactical Arms Paratus Rifle The Blaze has been given a first look at an incredible special ops breakdown rifle that you haven’t seen anywhere else. Consider this a special Firearms Friday treat: It’s called the Paratus 16, and it is one of the most exciting new rifle designs we’ve seen in a long time. Designed from the bottom up and built by DRD Tactical Arms, the Paratus was conceptualized from the start as a multi-purpose rifle specifically for Spec Ops/Covert Ops missions. It can also suit many diplomatic or executive security, military, air crews, law enforcement– and of course– home defense uses. What DRD Tactical has come up with is a high-tech clandestine ops rifle that fits right in your backpack. More at link.

REALLY? Should have added the words "Seal Team 6" and "tactical" as well. Would give it more street cred. 2) It's not like you can pop the suitcase and start blasting either. Some assembly is required. The side folder is cool, but that's why we have the SCAR.

Posted: 8/10/2012 11:17:23 AM [Last Edit: 8/10/2012 11:29:14 AM by 96Ag] Is it just me, or does it look like a really mediocre photoshop? The ACR stock is offset, the MBUS look pasted on, the barrel looks like it has a DI gas block and it has a knurled thread protector instead of a brake, comp or flash hider. ETA: I went to the link to see that it real enough. The stock bothers me though, I don't know why.

It would raise the price point too high for the civilian market if they did that. So they kept the price down to a more reasonable level.
