About Real XM177E2 COLT M649 The Colt XM177E2 (Colt Model 629) is a compact, selective-fire carbine developed for U.S. Special Forces during the Vietnam War. Commonly called the "Colt Commando," it was designed to be a shorter, more maneuverable version of the M16 rifle for jungle combat and aircrew use. Its key features include an 11.5-inch barrel and a long, distinctive "moderator" flash hider to reduce muzzle blast. The "XM" (Experimental) prefix means it was never formally adopted as a standard-issue weapon. It was primarily used by elite units like MACV-SOG and the Navy SEALs, who valued its size for close-quarters missions. Despite issues with range and fouling, its design directly influenced the later M4 carbine. The M649 designation typically refers to an export or U.S. Air Force variant (GAU-5A/A). About Cybergun XM177E2 COLT M649 GBB Airsoft Rifle (CGS System) CYMA has released this classic rifle under Cybergun license, replicating a firearm from the later stages of the Vietnam War that served as a transitional model between the M16 and the M4. More compact than the M16, it was designed for rapid movement in jungle combat, and its extended muzzle brake significantly reduced muzzle flash in its real-steel counterpart, making it easier to conceal in forest environments. As an experimental model, only 510 units were ever produced, rendering the original extremely rare and historically valuable. Recognizing this unique legacy, CYMA has recreated this piece of firearms history with its replica of the XM177E2 COLT M649. This Cybergun-licensed XM177E2 COLT M649 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle utilizes the CGS system and features a metal lower receiver with authentic "COLT AR-15" engraving, a metal upper receiver with a built-in carry handle and rear sight, and a metal 265mm outer barrel fitted with a steel 118mm muzzle brake. The construction continues with a polymer 185mm handguard capped with metal, a polymer pistol grip, and a polymer stock attached via a metal two
