Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) is a light weight weapon capable of firing kinetic energy projectiles and an air-bursting fragmentation munition. It allows soldiers to effectively attack targets at greater ranges. OICW provides enhanced capability for the 21st century infantry soldier which offers higher percentage of lethality and soldier's survivability. Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), otherwise known as the
Selectable Assault Battle Rifle (SABR), is a modular weapon system, consisting of the Fire Control System (FCS); a "kinetic energy" component comprised of a short 5.56mm rifle barrel and trigger group from the Heckler & Koch 036 assault rifle; and the grenade launcher consisting of a magazine-fed, semiautomatic 2Omm grenade launcher barrel and an action and recoil absorption mechanism. This incredible weapon has a great potential to replace the older kinds of assault rifles such as M16, M203 Grenade Launcher, and M14 that are currently used by the US Military.
