ArmaLite M15TAC14 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Rifle

The ArmaLite M15TAC14 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round Rifle is a purpose-built tactical platform engineered for law enforcement, military, and civilian operators who demand reliability under demanding conditions. This rifle delivers the balance of firepower, handling, and modularity that professional end-users require for patrol, entry, and designated marksman roles. The 16-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and sight radius while maintaining the compact profile necessary for close-quarters engagement and vehicle operations.

Built on ArmaLite's proven direct impingement platform, the M15TAC14 features a mid-length gas system that balances cycling reliability with reduced felt recoil and bolt carrier velocity—critical factors when running extended suppressed fire or rapid-fire strings. The 31-round magazine capacity extends engagement duration without frequent reload cycles, a decisive advantage in dynamic tactical scenarios. At 8.8 pounds, the rifle maintains a manageable weight-to-capability ratio, reducing operator fatigue during extended deployments while the 42.3-inch overall length preserves maneuverability in confined spaces.

Law enforcement departments and military units benefit from this rifle's rail-mounted accessory ecosystem, enabling rapid integration of optics, lights, and vertical foregrips tailored to specific mission profiles. The 5.56 NATO chamber ensures compatibility with NATO-standard ammunition worldwide, making logistics predictable across jurisdictions and operational theaters. Operators value the M15TAC14's ergonomic controls and semi-automatic operation for precision target engagement, while the direct impingement design simplifies field maintenance in austere environments.
