Hi guys,look at this weapon: http://www.airsoftplayers.com/guninfo/car15.asp This is a Soft Air gun.... But does it really exist or it is a Japanese invenction?? What does the word "CAR" means? |
Colt Accurized Rifle? |
|
This is the Air Soft version of the first prototype version of a Colt carbine. The main differences that it had before the first XM177s were the short A1 style handguards and the telestock which was only used in these proto models. CAR in this case means Colt Automatic Rifle ADDED: More info on these models can be found in "The Black Rifle" and "Special Warfare, Special Weapons" books. |

"This is the Air Soft version of the first prototype version of a Colt carbine" Thas right and I would LOVE! to find a stock set like that for my carbine. ps: I was always told that AR stands for Armalite rifle,so you have the Armalite Rifle#18 or 10 or 15 ect. And car was just short for carbine. |

Oh thanks for the info!! About the A1 short handguards ad the stock of the soft air gun? In the link I can see a standard M4 folding stock and A2 short handguards....that's ok, but I have never seen a REAL CAR15 like the one that I described or that look like the japanese replica. |
