Kel-Tec SU16, 5.56×45mm NATO (USA, 2003-)
The original Sport Utility rifle (later named SU16A) uses an AR-15 (GURPS High-Tech, p. 117) derived upper (with an 18.5″ barrel and piston mechanism) on a ‘take-down’ lower, allowing it to be folded into a compact package (about 2′ long; −3 Holdout) and quickly turned back into a functional rifle by folding it out again. It can not be fired or loaded while folded, as the trigger goes into the magazine well. The hand-guard can be folded out into a bipod (GURPS High-Tech, p. 160), the upper receiver has a Picatinny accessory rail (GURPS High-Tech, p. 161), and the stock can hold two of the standard 10 round magazines or one metal 20 or 30 round AR-15 style one (polymer magazines are too wide to fit). It can use any AR-15 style STANAG magazine, but the magazines it comes with will not work in other AR-15 style weapons.
The SU16B is similar, but has a light-weight 16″ barrel. Treat it as ‘unreliable’ for the purposes of Sustained Fire (GURPS High-Tech, pp. 85-86) only.
The SU16C has a 16″ barrel and a folding stock, which still allows the rifle to be folded into a non-functional package as well, but doesn’t hold spare magazines. Full-sized polymer magazines can prevent the stock folding properly. The SU16CA is the same gun with the SU16A stock (Bulk −4). The hand-guard functions like the SU16 one.
The SU16D9 and SU16D12 are short-barreled (9.2″ and 12″ respectively) rifles with SU16C style stocks and a hand-guard which has an additional accessory rail on the underside rather than folding out into a bipod. In the USA such guns are regulated under the National Firearms Act (treat as LC 2).
The SU16E has ergonomics more like an M4 carbine (GURPS High-Tech, p. 160), with a 16″ barrel, adjustable non-folding stock, pistol grip, and the same hand guard as the SU16D guns.
Kel-Tec PLR16, 5.56×45mm NATO (USA, 2006-)
The Pistol, Long Range is essentially an SU16E rifle with the SU16D9’s barrel and no stock or hand-guard (although it can mount the SU16D/E hand-guard; 0.2 lbs, $50).
