MK160

The MK160 is an assault rifle manufactured by Holt Tech; Serving as the penultimate variant of the MK5 rifle. It is uncharacteristically using a 20 round magazine by default, which is overshadowed by the more standard 30 in its short military service.
In spite of some innovations, the MK160 and the MK160-A1 did not saw great success as it was clearly overshadowed by the newer ABR rifles manufactured by Arlyn Elite, causing Holt Tech to disappear from the arms industry again.
== Design ==
The MK160 is a heavily redesigned variant of the MK5 rifle. The 9090 Titanium alloyed barrel is lengthened to 15 inches. The most notable upgrade is the flip-up Iron Sights, that can be adjusted for elevation and windage, finally solving the parallax problem of the MK4A1 and the MK16/A4's iron sights and a rail system that is known as the KeyMod. It also used a proprietary short stroke gas piston system, making it increase the components reliability and durability, and finally not using direct impingement system/operation.
The MK160 extensively uses CFRP polymers in its upper and lower receivers to increase ergonomics and decrease weight without compromising durability.
