TheModular Rifle - Caseless (MR-C), is a mock-up of anassault rifle that was intended to be manufactured and sold to the United States military as a next-generation infantry weapon firing next-generation ammunition. It has not been developed—even in prototype form—and the weapon was never lined-up for theOICW competition or in follow-up rifle competitions held by the US military. On the Crye Associates website, the product is specifically labeled as a "modular caseless carbine mock-up".[1] Most information circulating on the rifle is derived from the video gameTom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and should not be taken as fact.
Designed by Crye Associates, the concept is shown to utilize abullpup design with an all-sides rail interface system. It is also shown to have a special 40 mm grenade launcher attachment known as the AGL. The AGL in the game, however, is a modified version of the real world Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module designed for theFN SCAR rifles. In most of the pictures, the gun is seen painted in Crye Precision'sMulticam pattern.
