Diamondback Firearms DB1796K001 DB15 *NY 5.56 NATO 16" 11-Round Carbine

The Diamondback Firearms DB15 *NY 5.56 NATO 16" 10-Round Carbine is a purpose-built platform designed for law enforcement, security, and civilian tactical applications where New York compliance is required. This compact 16-inch carbine delivers the ballistic capability of 5.56 NATO in a configuration optimized for vehicle operations, close-quarters engagement, and indoor deployment scenarios.

Built on a proven direct impingement gas system architecture, the DB15 carbine chambers 5.56 NATO ammunition and feeds from a 10-round magazine to meet New York legal specifications. The 16-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for intermediate-range engagements while maintaining a 39.2-inch overall length—critical for confined spaces, vehicle carry, and rapid deployment.

At 8.4 pounds unloaded, the carbine strikes a balance between control and mobility; the lighter weight reduces shooter fatigue during extended operations while maintaining the structural rigidity necessary for duty-grade accuracy and reliability. The NY-compliant configuration integrates fixed stocks and restricted magazine capacity without sacrificing the ergonomic principles that make this platform accessible to shooters of varying experience levels.
