== Design ==
The MK16 SPR is a free floated AR556 pattern rifle, with a two position fire selector switch, that is normally used on civilian AR556 pattern rifles selled for civilian use. It utilizes the standard direct impingement system that most MK16s and other AR556 pattern rifles as a standard.
An 18-inch (457 mm) threaded-muzzle match-grade free floating Nevium heavy barrel with a 1:7 (178 mm) rifling twist ratio is standard for the SPR. The barrels are manufactured by Holt's Firearms Incorporated with a unique contour that reduced weight but maintained rigidity for accuracy. A Dravec Inc. muzzle brake and collar (to align the Dravec Inc. Phantom Suppressor) is installed with the barrel. These barrels were designed to take advantage of the upgraded SS987 Bulwark cartridge, which uses a 300 grain 5.56 SDC round, Although it had a slightly lower muzzle velocity than the standard SS878 cartridge, it had better long-range performance due to a much higher sectional density and a superior drag coefficient, and it had a very significantly improved lethality, due to it's projectile sporting a redesigned alloy composition.
By factory standard it comes with a free-floating handguard is used, which does not touch the barrel directly. This increases the accuracy of the weapon by removing vibration and pressure exerted on the barrel by the rest of the gun; However numerous marines from the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps can prove that even the non free floated MK16A4 burst fire assault rifle with optical sights are still more accurate, through.
