Along the way, Larry Vickers – renown special operations combat veteran, firearms instructor, and small arms expert – showcases the development of the HK416, the rebirth of the AR-10 platform in the form of the SR-25, firearms from the Global War on Terror, and current trends with civilian carbines.
