About  XM177E2 Rifle

The XM177E2 is a compact carbine variant of the M16 rifle, developed by Colt during the Vietnam War for U.S. Special Forces and other elite units requiring a lightweight, short-barreled weapon. It evolved from earlier models like the XM177 and XM177E1, addressing issues such as excessive muzzle blast and flash from the shorter barrel. The XM177E2 features an 11.5-inch barrel, a telescoping stock, and a distinctive moderator or "sound suppressor" at the muzzle, which reduces flash and noise without acting as a true silencer. Chambered in 5.56?45mm NATO, it retains selective-fire capability (full-auto and semi-auto) and uses standard M16 magazines. While popular for its portability in jungle warfare and among airborne troops, its short barrel reduced bullet velocity and effective range compared to the full-length M16. The XM177E2 never achieved official standardization but served as a precursor to later carbines like the Colt Commando and the modern M4. Its legacy lies in influencing compact rifle design for close-quarters combat and special operations use.

About Marushin XM177E2 Model Gun

This Marushin XM177E2 Model Gun is a highly detailed, non-firing dummy replica designed to replicate the real firearm with exceptional accuracy. It features a metal upper receiver with an integrated carry handle, along with a metal lower receiver engraved with "Col AR-15" markings for added authenticity. The gun is equipped with a 184mm polymer handguard and a 270mm metal outer barrel, topped with an XM177E2-style 120mm flash hider for a realistic appearance. The polymer XM177 stock is paired with a metal two-position stock tube, while the polymer pistol grip ensures a solid and comfortable hold.
Included with the replica is a 20-round metal magazine, pre-loaded with five dummy cartridges for simulation purposes. The model also incorporates a variety of realistic metal components, such as the trigger, trigger guard, bolt catch, magazine release, fire selector, and charging handle, all of which enhance its lifelike functionality.
Though this is a non-functional model gun (completely incapable of firing), it operates in a manner nearly identical to a real firearm. When the charging handle is pulled and the trigger is pressed, the hammer produces a distinct clicking sound, mimicking the action of a live weapon. Cycling the charging handle again causes the metal bolt to retract, ejecting one of the dummy cartridges from the magazine via a simulated shell ejection system. The next round is then chambered, allowing the process to be repeated continuously, creating a realistic simulation of live firing.
Given its complete lack of firing capability, this replica is 100% safe and ideal for use as a movie prop, airsoft training aid, or collector?s piece. Its realistic operation and high-quality construction make it a perfect choice for enthusiasts seeking an authentic yet harmless representation of the iconic XM177E2.
