VKTR V31100916605CAD 5.56 NATO 13.7 FDE Carbine

The VKTR V31100916605CAD 5.56 NATO 13.7 FDE Carbine is a purpose-built, compact rifle platform engineered for operators who demand precision, modularity, and reliability in confined spaces. This carbine fills the critical role between full-length rifles and subguns—ideal for tactical teams, law enforcement, private security, and civilian defensive shooters requiring a compact footprint without sacrificing 5.56 NATO ballistics. The 13.7-inch barrel length positions this system in the intermediate power range, delivering velocity advantage over pistol-caliber carbines while maintaining maneuverability in vehicles, buildings, and tight entry positions.

Built by VKTR Industries, this carbine features a flat dark earth (FDE) finish—a proven, low-reflective coating that balances aesthetics with operational concealment across mixed urban and natural environments. The 5.56 NATO chamber is the military standard, ensuring ammunition availability and interchangeability across platforms. At 12.72 pounds unloaded with a 41-inch overall length, the rifle maintains a combat-effective weight distribution that reduces shooter fatigue during extended operations while remaining quick-handling in dynamic scenarios. The carbine's compact profile—just 12 inches in width when measured across charging handle and controls—facilitates storage, transport, and CQB employment in confined quarters.

This platform benefits law enforcement special operations units, military support roles, armed security contractors, and civilian shooters seeking a modern, modular 5.56 system optimized for home defense and vehicle-mounted applications. The VKTR V31100916605CAD integrates with standard AR-pattern accessories—optic mounts, rail systems, and aftermarket components—enabling rapid customization for mission-specific loadouts. Its barrel length and chamber produce acceptable ballistic performance across standard and barrier-blind ammunition, making it suitable for a range of engagement distances typical in tactical operations. Installation and maintenance follow industry-standard AR-platform procedures, requiring only basic armorer-level knowledge.
