The Colt CAR-15 Commando is an American select-fire carbine, a part of the Colt M16 family of rifles. Though there were many prototypes, the only one which was truly mass-produced for American special forces in Vietnam is the Model 629 (XM177E2), which includes a number of improvements from the M16A1 (chromed chamber and bore, improved gas system) as well as a unique sound/flash reducer, an all-new collapsible stock and compatibility with contemporary underbarrel grenade launchers, such as the M203 Grenade Launcher. CAR-15 Commandos are typically issued with 20-round magazines of .223 Remington, but Colt's Manufacturing Company is in the process of developing reliable 30-round magazines.

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.
EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used. Each subsequent shot has a progressive penalty.
Automatic weapons are considered STABLE when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.
- Point Blank Range - No penalty.
- Close Range (≤10m / 2sq) -> -1
- Short Range (≤50m / 5sq) -> -2 (STABLE: -1)
- Average Range (≤200m / 10sq) -> -3 (STABLE: -1)
- Medium Range (≤500m / 20sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -1)
- Long Range (≤1000m / 50sq) -> -5 (STABLE: -3)
~ Beyond this point, automatic fire is unfeasible without a STABLE firing platform. ~ - Very Long Range (≤2000m) -> (STABLE: -3)
- Extreme Range (>2000m) -> (STABLE: -5)
