👉 The Compromise Weapon, often referred to as the "Compromise Assault Rifle," is a semi-automatic rifle designed by the U.S. Army to bridge the gap between traditional bolt-action rifles and fully automatic assault rifles, aiming to provide soldiers with a reliable, accurate, and versatile weapon. It features a 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge, allowing for compatibility with existing ammunition while offering the higher rate of fire and semi-automatic capabilities of assault rifles. The weapon incorporates advanced features such as a modular stock, adjustable sights, and a suppressor for noise reduction, making it suitable for various combat scenarios. However, its development and adoption faced significant political and military debates, primarily due to concerns over its potential impact on military balance and the risk of proliferation.
