VKTR V31100916606CAD FRGD 5.56 NATO 13.7" Carbine

The VKTR V31100916606CAD FRGD 5.56 NATO 13.7" carbine is purpose-built for professional shooters, law enforcement, and military personnel who demand a compact, lightweight platform without sacrificing effective range or accuracy. This mid-length carbine bridges the gap between a pistol-caliber weapon and a full-size rifle, making it ideal for vehicle ops, close-quarters environments, and situations where barrel length must be minimized to meet regulatory or tactical requirements. The 13.7" barrel delivers sufficient velocity for duty-grade 5.56 NATO ballistics while maintaining a highly maneuverable profile.

Built by VKTR Industries, this carbine incorporates a precision-welded barrel assembly and refined ergonomic controls designed for rapid target engagement. The short sight radius demands proper shooting technique and quality optics to unlock full potential, but the compact footprint enables faster draw-to-target transitions in confined spaces. The 12.82 lb weight distribution keeps the platform shoulderable for extended operations without fatigue, while the modular construction allows customization of charging handles, grips, and rail-mounted accessories to match mission-specific loadouts.

Law enforcement tactical teams, special operations units, and civilian tactical shooters benefit most from this carbine's maneuverability and ballistic performance. The short profile excels in vehicle-mounted roles, aircraft cabin defense, and high-speed CQB scenarios where a traditional 16" rifle becomes unwieldy. Operators should pair this platform with a quality red dot or low-magnification optic to maximize the compact sight radius, and verify compliance with local regulations regarding barrel length before purchase or transport.
