Special Operations Assault Rifle-SOAR

Special Operations Assault Rifle-SOAR
Special Operations Assault Rifle (SOAR) is an assault rifle manufactured by the Philippine-based company Ferfrans and designed as an improvement of the M16A1, AR-15 and M4 rifles.

The FERFRANS SOAR is a selective fire 5.56x45mm NATO assault rifle firing from a closed rotating bolt. It has a gas-actuated piston-driven long stroke operating system, which uses burnt powder gases vented through a port in the barrel to power the weapon's moving parts. The FERFRANS SOAR uses a unique patented rate reduction system (FERFRANS RRS) that reduces the cyclic rate of fire regardless of barrel length.

Known variants include SOARs with 10.5, 11.5 and 14.5-inch (370 mm) barrels. Known upgrades are known as the 10.5 Mk2, 10.5 Mk2-2 and the 11 Mk2.
