Video: DefenseReview.com Demonstrates FERFRANS SOAR (Special Operations Assault Rifle) 5.56mm Select-Fire/Full-Auto AR-15 SBRs/Subcarbines

DefenseReview.com owner/editor-in-chief David Crane demonstrates the FERFRANS Specialties SOAR (Special Operations Assault Rifle)
5.56×45mm NATO (5.56mm NATO)/.223 Rem. select-fire/full-Auto AR SBRs (Short Barreled Rifles)/subcarbines at the range. The two guns featured sport 10.5″ and 11.5″ barrels, respectively, operate via direct gas impingement (DGI), and utilize FERFRANS’ patented Rate Reduction System (RRS) which mechanically reduces the weapons’ cyclic rate of fire to below the 700 rpm threshold. This lowered cyclic rate significantly enhances the SOAR SBRs’ controllability on full-auto, allowing for precision/surgical full-auto fire during CQB / CQC (Close Quarters Battle / Close Quarters Combat).

Ferfrans SOAR SBRs were designed and developed specifically for military Special Operations and law enforcement SWAT end users, for urban warfare, jungle warfare and CQB/CQC applications. They’re ideal for Direct Action ops, Personal Security Detail (PSD) ops, and any/all other combat operations where fighting is likely to occur within medium distance.

The FERFRANS SOAR is available as either a complete weapon system or complete upper receiver assembly, depending on the customer’s needs and requirements.

FERFRANS Specialties also offers short-stroke gas piston/op-rod SOAR SBRs for clients that prefer or require piston-driven guns, but these piston-driven SOAR models are not featured in this video.

The 10.5″-barreled SOAR SBR featured in the video is outfitted with a few noteworthy tactical accessories/accoutrements:

- GRSC Combat Rifle Scope (CRS), which is a front focal plane (FFP) scope. The CRS utilizes a M4-62 GPCR tactical reticle, which allows you to intuitively measure distance by viewing the size of a human target in relation to the reticles upside-down horshoe shape, even when image magnification is used at longer ranges (up to 4X).

- A.R.M.S. S.I.R. Mil-Std-1913 “Picatinny” rail system/forend rail tube/handguards

- Grip Pod GPSO2 vertical foregrip/fast-deploy bipod by Grip Pod Systems (GPS). The Grip Pod provides the operator with greater combat capability and versatility because it allows him to go prone in an instant and continue fighting from a stable platform. The spring-loaded bipod deploys instantly with the push of a button.

- Vltor Modstock Basic Carbine Kit, which is a telescoping/collapsible carbine stock.

The 11.5″-barreled SOAR utilizes an Aimpoint CompM2-M68/CCO Red Dot combat optic instead of the GRSC CRS combat scope.

DefenseReview owner/editor-in-chief David Crane (demonstrator) is wearing a Liberator II Soldier System Tactical Headset System made by Tactical Command Industries, Inc. (TCI) and Oakley M Frame Strike a.k.a. “Strike Array” tactical eyepro (eye protection)/eyewear.

- Nice shooting there.
- U forgot to mention the muzzle brake that made the gun so controllable. yeah, low cyclic rate is nice but in this case, its obviously the muzzle brake/compensator that does the job since barrel is short and therefore gas pressure at muzzle is high, which makes the brake so effective.
- How does DGI put up with so short barrel? And how does it put up with silencer/suppressor? How does it affect reliability and ROF?
- In this video, there is one big thing that nobody speaks bout that is real downside of DGI. in urban combat, one needs to switch gun from shoulder to shoulder. this gun obviously blows dust/gas to the right so anybody who transfers the gun to his left shoulder is propably gonna get decent blow especially when lying on right side. not a pleasant thing. oprods dont do that.
