Caracal

The KV-4 Caracal is a carbine that was made during the Second Technological Revolution. Manufactured in New America in early 2017, it was meant to be an improvement over other assault rifles and carbines like the M4A1, the M16 and the M416. Sometime after it reached the market, the Caracal was a new favorite among soldiers, who praised its ergonomic design and its excellent accuracy. The weapon soon became the New American Armed Forces standard-issue weapon by the year 2023.  
In addition to using the regular 5.56x45mm rounds used by other military rifles, the Caracal also accepts full metal jacket bullets and high-explosive incendiary rounds, which made it controversial on the battlefield.
