COLT M5 SCW

Designed specifically for vehicle and aircraft crews, joint forces, special operations forces, and reconnaissance units, the new Colt SCW provides increased mobility and firepower on the modern battlefield, with longer-range capabilities than handgun caliber systems. The redesigned upper receiver and Maxim collapsible buttstock are ideal for confined space combat operations and close-quarters battles. Its ultra-lightweight, compact design supports maneuverability in highly confined areas of operation. The SCW offers a quick and easy transition from vehicles and aircraft, allowing greater firepower and range than handguns to aircrews and vehicle operators. Where other personal defense weapons are inadequate in caliber or configuration for engaging varying target sets, the Colt SCW in 5.56x45MM NATO provides the stopping power soldiers need on the battlefield. Equipped with a unique holster/sling system, the Colt SCW allows the user to transition from any other weapon easily. Incorporating a new bolt carrier/buffer system, the SCW is engineered to provide the same dependable reliability as the Colt M4 in a compact form. Additional benefits include recoil reduction and increased controllability. The commonality of ammunition with other weapons in the support formation not only simplifies logistical relief but also provides ease of resupply by any supporting unit while conducting operations. With all of these design enhancements and augmentations, this weapon has earned its place among Colt weapons and the right to its name — Colt SCW.
