XM177

"The XM177 is an enhanced version of the CAR-15 and was made for special forces in the Vietnam War. This weapon uses 5.56mm NATO bullets which give it an aggressive attack functionality at the expense of high recoil."
- in-game description

XM177 is an assault rifle-styled submachine gun featured in CrossFire.

Overview[]

The XM177 Carbine has a similar appearance with the M4A1 rifle without a carrying handle but is classified as a submachine gun in-game. Compared to the standard M4A1, the XM177 has greater stopping power, much lighter weight, faster firing rate, and greater recoil. It has a capacity of 30 rounds with 90 in reserve.

For a balancing reason, instead of making it to be as accurate as M4A1, the accuracy has been nerfed to be on par with submachine guns in general in which the crosshair will immediately expand after two or three first continuous shots just like how common submachine guns do in long ranges.

Trivia[]

The XM177 should be classified as an assault rifle in-game, since it uses 5.56x45mm rifle bullets, possesses rifle stopping power, and is a full-sized carbine (it is nowhere near the size or rate-of-fire of a submachine gun). The real reason why it is classified as an SMG might be the adoption of this gun by the US Air Force, which designated GAU 5/A and classified as an SMG.
XM177 carbine was part of the CAR-15 Commando's Military Weapon System and saw use in the Vietnam War, serving alongside the full length M16 rifles.
This weapon shares animation with M4A1-S Ares.
The XM177 features a unique muzzle smoke, only noticeable in the first-person view.
Despite its name, the in-game version is not the real XM177 since the real version featured an A1 upper receiver and lacked a forward assist. This version is rather a Colt Model 933 since they share the same barrel length, flat top receiver and round forward assist.
The model in-game features only one sight post - The front Gas Block. Although it is perfectly possible to fire a rifle with a single sight post, it would be far from accurate. This is likely to be either a blatant oversight by the developers, or just plain laziness.
