[edit] Overview

The Carbon 15 line of weapons are closely based off the ArmaLite AR-15 design. They are distinguished by their carbon fiber construction, which provides an extremely lightweight frame, which is also extremely durable and water resistant. The Carbon 15 line are generally 5.56 caliber weapons, however there are 9mm versions of the Carbon 15 pistol and carbine.
