FN \r\nHerstal of Belgium won the development contract on November 4, 2004, and\r\n delivered two parallel rifles under the SCA R program: the SCA R-L (Mk \r\n16 Mod 0) chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO and the SCA R-H (Mk 17 Mod 0) \r\nchambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. The SCA R-L, designated the Mk 16 by \r\nUSSOCOM, was intended to supersede the M4A1 carbine, the Mk 18 CQBR, and\r\n the Mk 12 SPR within special operations service, offering a lighter, \r\nhigher-capacity assault configuration alongside its heavier 7.62mm \r\nsibling. True to its modular philosophy, the SCA R family was engineered\r\n around interchangeable barrel assemblies in three lengths ? Close \r\nQuarters Combat (CQC), Standard (STD), and Long Barrel (LB) ? allowing a\r\n single receiver to be reconfigured for different mission profiles. The \r\nCQC variant, with its shortened ~10-inch barrel, was purpose-built for \r\nvehicle operations, room-clearing, and other confined-space engagements \r\nwhere a compact overall length mattered as much as firepower. The \r\nmonolithic aluminum upper receiver carried an uninterrupted top \r\nPicatinny rail, while the polymer lower housed ambidextrous controls and\r\n accepted STANAG magazines, giving the SCA R-L a familiar yet thoroughly\r\n modern ergonomic foundation. After low-rate initial production testing \r\nconcluded in June 2007, the first rifles reached operational units in \r\nApril 2009, with a battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment becoming the \r\nfirst large unit deployed into combat with the platform. In SOCOM's \r\nnotorious Dust Test, the SCA R family outperformed the M4 by a wide \r\nmargin, validating its short-stroke gas-piston design over the M4's \r\ndirect-impingement system. Yet in June 2010, USSOCOM unexpectedly \r\ncancelled its Mk 16 procurement, judging the 5.56mm SCA R-L to offer \r\nlimited advantage over the already-fielded M4, while retaining the Mk 17\r\n in greater numbers and planning 5.56mm conversion kits for the SCA R-H.\r\n Despite its curtailed military career, the SCA R-L's clean lines, \r\nmodular rails, and CQC proportions made it an enduring favorite, \r\nentering service with more than twenty nations and inspiring the \r\nsemi-automatic SCA R 16S civilian model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eClassic\r\n Army, the Hong Kong-based manufacturer operating under parent company \r\nYick Fung Global Industrial, has built airsoft replicas for over two \r\ndecades and earned its reputation as a pioneer of full-metal M4 and MP5 \r\nAEGs as well as the first high-end SCA R airsoft replica on the market. \r\nKnown within the community simply as \"CA,\" the brand has long been \r\nassociated with realistic metal-bodied guns carrying pre-upgraded \r\ninternals, and its SCA R line set early benchmarks for the platform in \r\nthe airsoft world. This MK16 9.5 inch MWS GBB Rifle brings Classic \r\nArmy's interpretation of the compact SCA R-L CQC silhouette into the gas\r\n blowback realm, mounting the distinctive Mk 16-style receiver \r\naesthetics atop the proven Tokyo Marui MWS (Marui Weapon System) gas \r\nblowback architecture. The 13.5-inch (340mm) barrel places this rifle \r\nfirmly in the CQC class, delivering the short, handy proportions of the \r\nreal steel Mk 16 CQC while preserving the SCAR's recognizable profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe\r\n exterior is built around a metal receiver topped with a full-length \r\nPicatinny rail for optics and accessories, paired with a metal 340mm \r\nURGI-style M-Lok handguard that carries its own integral top Picatinny \r\nrail for co-witnessing and range accessories. The 340mm outer barrel is \r\nfinished with a metal muzzle brake to complete the aggressive \r\nshort-barrel look and provide a functional muzzle signature. Furniture \r\nfollows an AR-pattern theme that pairs naturally with the MWS internals:\r\n a polymer MO EE M4-style stock rides on a five-position metal stock \r\npipe and terminates in a rubber butt pad for stable shouldering, while \r\npolymer MBU SS-style flip-up front and rear sights fold down flush when \r\nan optic is mounted and snap up instantly for back-up use. The trigger \r\ngroup and controls are executed entirely in metal for durability, \r\nincluding an ambidextrous fire selector, a bolt catch, a magazine \r\nrelease, a curved trigger housed within a metal trigger guard, and an \r\nambidextrous charging handle that can be operated from either side of \r\nthe receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternally, the rifle runs a Tokyo Marui MWS-system \r\nclone, the airsoft industry's benchmark gas blowback platform renowned \r\nfor stable, consistent performance and broad aftermarket support. \r\nBecause the action faithfully replicates the MWS architecture, the rifle\r\n is compatible with the vast majority of Tokyo Marui MWS internal \r\nupgrade parts, meaning maintenance, repair, and performance tuning can \r\nbe accomplished without fear of proprietary components leaving the gun \r\nstranded. This design choice prioritizes long-term serviceability: \r\nshould any internal part wear or fail, a ready supply of MWS-spec \r\nreplacements is available from the open market. On the range, the \r\nplatform delivers a punchy recoil impulse with a realistic cyclic action\r\n and crisp blowback, giving the shooter a convincing sense of a live \r\nfirearm cycling through each shot. Feeding is handled by a metal \r\n35-round gas magazine that matches the MWS standard, providing ample \r\ncapacity for both skirmish use and recoil-driven rapid fire. The \r\ncombination of Classic Army's metal-receiver build quality, the mature \r\nMWS gas system, and the compact 9.5-inch CQC barrel makes this MK16 a \r\npractical, upgrade-friendly gas blowback rifle for players who want SCA \r\nR-L character without sacrificing the parts availability of the MWS \r\necosystem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal URGI-style \r\nM-Lok handguard measuring 340mm in length and integrating a top \r\nPicatinny rail, providing a modern free-float forend with modular slot \r\nmounting for lights, lasers, and vertical grips\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal \r\nreceiver with a full-length top Picatinny rail, establishing the Mk \r\n16-style SCA R-L upper profile and offering a continuous mounting \r\nsurface for optics and back-up sighting solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e340mm\r\n (13.5 inch) outer barrel fitted with a metal muzzle brake, delivering \r\nthe compact CQC proportions of the real steel Mk 16 CQC and a finished \r\nmuzzle signature suited to short-barrel aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePolymer\r\n MO EE M4-style stock riding on a five-position metal stock pipe and \r\ncapped with a rubber butt pad, allowing rapid length-of-pull adjustment \r\nand secure shouldering across shooter sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePolymer MBU\r\n SS-style flip-up front and rear sights that fold flat against the \r\nreceiver when an optic is mounted and spring up for instant back-up use,\r\n preserving a clean sight picture in either configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal\r\n 35-round gas magazine built to the MWS standard, supplying generous \r\ncapacity and reliable feeding for both sustained skirmish use and \r\nrecoil-driven rapid fire\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal ambidextrous fire \r\nselector enabling safe, semi, and full-auto control from either side of \r\nthe receiver for left- and right-handed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal\r\n bolt catch providing realistic hold-open and release function that \r\nmirrors the MWS cycle and supports tactical reload drills\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal magazine release positioned for intuitive access, allowing fast and positive magazine changes during dynamic shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal\r\n curved trigger housed within a metal trigger guard, offering a familiar\r\n AR-style pull and protecting the trigger group in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMetal\r\n ambidextrous charging handle that can be manipulated from either side, \r\nsupporting flexible weapon manipulation and clearing procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTokyo\r\n Marui MWS-system clone internals engineered for stable, consistent gas \r\nblowback performance and full compatibility with the majority of \r\naftermarket MWS upgrade and replacement parts for hassle-free repair and\r\n tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePunchy recoil impulse paired with realistic \r\ncyclic action and crisp blowback, delivering a convincing live-fire feel\r\n through every shot of the gas-driven cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Classic Army","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49763425222884,"sku":"CA-GBB008","price":269.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/1325\/2580\/files\/CA-GBB008-cover.jpg?v=1788337643","url":"https:\/\/www.ehobbyasia.com\/ko\/products\/classic-army-mk16-13-5-inch-mws-gbb-airsoft-rifle","provider":"eHobbyAsia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
