In the Line of Duty: The FBI Murders
I think the rifle ain't a Colt AR15 sporter. More like an M16A2. The shape and rear sight of the carrying handle/rear sight is a dead giveaway. |

Colt AR-15 was what user "Markit" labeled it as. I got all his smaller images replaced and a lot of new ones added. I'm also trying to read up on the actual shootout and put in the page.

You do know civilian-legal semi-auto versions of the M16A2 do exist, don't you?

Yeah there are several Colt Sporters that are built like A2s, as well as a dozen other A2 designs built by other companies. Could be any one of them.

Here is a close up of the receiver. Maybe it'll help.

Definitely an A2-style receiver. The question is whether it gets fired on auto or not. And even if it fired on auto, that means it's one of the Hollywood "Franken-M16s" (an A2 upper on an A1 lower, or some other full-auto lower).

I only rented the movie and had to return it. That rifle was only used in that scene. Both Platt (Soul) and Matix (Gross) seemed to fire in burst during that scene in the woods.

There was a run of A2 rifles called Sporter HBARs, but you are right about the Sporter I and II.The AR-15 A2s that I've seen were with 715 uppers, but I think I came across one with the A2 upper once too. Last edited by Yournamehere; 10-05-2009 at 09:55 PM. |

Also, the other models are called, "AR-15 A2 Government Model" (the M16A2 look-a-alike) and "AR-15 A2 Government Model HBAR" (same gun with the match-grade barrel). Last edited by MT2008; 10-06-2009 at 01:26 AM. |
