None of these four countries reaches five members on its own within this split, so they are grouped together as a single Americas bucket distinct from the much larger United States group that sits alongside it.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsShort LabelWell-attestedof the Americas Outside the United StatesShort LabelWell-attestedof the Americas Outside the United StatesComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1984 1Browse ByAll Assault Rifles of the Americas Outside the United StatesAssault Rifles of the Americas Outside the United States6 entriesAssault Rifles of the Americas Outside the United StatesFilter Results6 entriesWeapon ClassAllRifle (4)Small Arm (2)Weapon FamilyAllAssault Rifles (6)Assault Rifles of the Americas Outside the United States (6)Rifles and Carbines (6)Introduced EraAll1981 (1)1984 (1)1997 (1)2008 (1)2012 (1)2017 (1)ManufacturerAllColt's Manufacturing Company (1)Diemaco (1)IMBEL (2)Taurus (1)OperatorAllArgentine Armed Forces (1)Brazilian Army (2)British Army (1)CaliberAll40x46mm (1)5.56x45mm NATO (6)7.62x51mm NATO (1)Service StatusAllIn Service (5)Country of OriginAllArgentina (1)Brazil (3)Canada (1)Peru (1)Wars Used InAllIraq War (1)Rwandan Civil War (1)Syrian Civil War (1)Yugoslav Wars (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 6Colt Canada C7Small Arms And Sidearms5 linksFARA 83Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkFusil Automático DobleSmall Arms And SidearmsIMBEL IA2Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkIMBEL MD97Small Arms And Sidearms1 linkTaurus T4Small Arms And SidearmsSources1.
