Barrett REC7



"The Barrett REC7 must've been one heck of a reliability-enhanced carbine rifle that the Americans made for. That is, it's some kind of an M4 carbine that the Americans wanted to replace it. Or... maybe they can perhaps use these two weapons side by side, or whatever."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Where Did They Come From?

The Barrett REC7 (designation stands for "reliability-enhanced carbine") is an American firearm manufactured as aselective-fire assault rifle and semi-automatic rifle by Barrett Firearms. It is an M4 carbine utilizing a short-stroke gas pistonsystem. REC7 is available in either 5.56×45mm NATO or 6.8mm Remington SPC. The REC7 is Barrett’s second AR-pattern rifle chambered for the 6.8mm Remington SPC cartridge, the first being the Barrett M468 rifle. The 6.8 SPC-chambered M468 rifle employed the same direct gas-impingement system as the M4.
