Talk:CAR-15

message: The Mk18 has been around for about 10 years now, more USSOCOM, USN, USMC, and USCG units use it than just the SEALs, and at least DEVGRU has been using 10" HK416s since at least last May when they killed Osama bin Laden.  Also, NAVSPECWAR placed an order for some Mk16s and Mk17s for testing after USSOCOM canceled their original joint-service order for Mk16s.  Shouldn't at least the HK416 be mentioned alongside the Mk18?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.9.21.31 (talk) 16:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The HK416 has it's own article and its relation to the M4 and other carbines derived directly from the M16 is only superficial. Spartan198 (talk) 06:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mk18 as the SEALs' "recent" ultracompact carbine 

message: If the scoped carbine in the pic is a Sporter carbine, why's it labeled an M16A1 carbine? I'm sure the differences between a Sporter carbine and a military M16A1 carbine are apparent enough. Spartan198 (talk) 10:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, since no one seems to have any opinion on the mistitled picture, I went ahead and replaced "M16A1 carbine" with the shown firearm's actual name. If you think it should be reverted back, feel free to voice your reasoning. Spartan198 (talk) 23:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: This table should be moved to its own page as it is too long and is not particularly relevant for this article. Perhaps a 'Colt AR-15 Variants' article should be created. X360 04:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, just saw it, when I get some time I'll compile my complete list into the table, and add other functioning tables I have on my comp in excel.  The tables scattered through these articles are mostly mine, so if you want to go around removing them from articles like M16 rifle, CAR-15, and Colt Canada C7 rifle, I don't see a problem.  Just make sure they're properly linked, and then I'll add all the information in. -- Thatguy96 14:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Summary Table

message: A couple times in the past I've tried to find the XM607 and other models on wikipedia, but a standard search just brings up the Vulcan/Blackbuck vehicle.  Turns out that this article lists those variants as "Model 607" or similar.  Would it be possible to also mention that they went by the terms XM607, XM605, etc., or would that be historically inaccurate? MatthewVanitas (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The term "XM607" and "XM605" are terms used primarily in the US civilian gun-owning community.  Colt never referred to these weapons as such, and designations generally seem to be a product of people contracting the terms Model 605/607 with the later XM177 designation.  -- Thatguy96 (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why no "XM" designations in the article?

message: I was just on IMFDB reading a topic about this photo and one of the members pointed out that the weapon in his hands is an MGC replica commonly used in movies and NOT a live-firing weapon. Here, read the topic for yourself:  If the guys in that photo are SEALs, I'm Scott Mitchell (the Captain from Ghost Recon 2/GRAW/GRAW2, if you don't get the reference).
