Design and Tactical Features
The AXE is engineered for modular adaptability. The Gemtech GVAC upper provides integration for suppressed use, and the included Gemtech ETM flash hider is designed to work with suppressors and reduce flash signature when running suppressed or unsuppressed. A 16-inch barrel gives a good compromise between maneuverability and effective ballistic performance for 5.56 NATO rounds.
Caliber Benefits
Chambered in 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington, the AXE offers widespread ammunition availability, flat trajectory at typical engagement distances, and compatibility with most AR-style magazines. The 30-round PMAG included with the rifle is a proven polymer magazine known for reliability in field conditions.
Controls and Ergonomics
M&P tactical folding sights allow a low-profile option for optics or co-witness setups, while the 6-position CAR stock lets operators optimize length-of-pull for body armor or different shooting positions. Overall weight distribution and the compact 16-inch setup make the rifle well-suited for vehicle work, urban response, or home defense roles.
