SOCOM SPR-V Trials
In recent years Robinson Armament has shifted focus toward military small arms development. Their RAV02 MC Carbine defeated entries from Knight's Armament Company and Lewis Machine and Tool in the SOCOM SPR-V trials.
The RAV02 MC (Pronounced "RAVE") can be chambered in 5.56 NATO; 7.62x39mm; and 5.45x39mm. It was developed and tested to current military specifications. Soldiers who have shot it preferred it over the M4 Carbine derived products. Even using the 7.62x39mm round, it is as accurate as an M4A1 carbine and can digest steel or brass cased ammunition fed through Kalashnikov type magazines and drums. The Rifle Features the S.I.R. (Swan Integrated Rail System) which give the rifle Accessory Rails (Picatinny Rails) at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 O'clock positions. Reliability is advertised as being superior the M4 Carbine.
This was followed by the advanced XCR Modular Weapon System which was a competitor in the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) SOF Combat Assault Rifle trials.
