  4. M4 Carbine Description Current Status The M4 Carbine is the newest member of the M16 series of weapons.  The Security Forces version is equipped with an M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) and a Back-up Iron sight. The CCO is compatible with our night vision equipment. M4 will replace all daily use M16A2s, GAUs and GUUs for Security Forces, Special Forces and select Group A AFSCs utilizing these weapons (Battlefield Airmen) Delivery Schedule Deliveries began Dec 02. As of Apr 04, 16,700 of 40,000 M4s have been delivered.

  5. M240B Machine Gun Current Status Description The M240B is the replacement for the M60 medium machine gun. 3 “hard broke” upper receivers after 50-60K rounds M145 MGOs programmed for FY04 and FY05 Delivery Schedule Deliveries began Oct 02. As of Apr 04, 2,500 of 3,000 M240Bs have been shipped.

  6. M203 Day/Night Sight Description Current Status Insight Technology’s M203 Day/Night Sight (DNS) provides a 24-hour operational capability for the M203 40mm Grenade Launcher with either 9” or 12” barrels. It increases first round hit probability over the current quadrant and leaf sight system at ranges from 50 to 400 meters. The DNS expands the effective use and capability to 24 hour operations. DNS were presented to the Security Forces Equipment and Weapons Standardization Configuration Board. The next step is operational testing and to present to the MAJCOMs for input and determine if there is interest in an AF buy where every MAJCOM contributes funds to achieve a lower per unit price due to a higher quantity buy. Delivery Schedule N/A at this point. Schedule OPR: AFSFC/SFOR

  7. Frangible Non-Toxic Munitions Environmental, health problems, and range destruction caused by lead from small arms bullets are prevalent throughout the AF. Source reduction is mandated in pollution prevention by Executive Order 12856, Federal Compliance with Right to Know Laws and Pollution Prevention Requirements Frangible, Non-Toxic, munitions are being procured to meet this mandate and will be used for Category D Training Munitions only. The only remaining USAF munitions to be identified for procurement is the 7.62 mm
