- description
Before the modern carbine there was the XM177 — the cut-down Colt Commando carried by special forces in Vietnam, with its distinctive long flash moderator and sliding aluminium stock. CYMA's CM009E recreates that classic in full metal: compact and handy where a full M16 would be a handful, but with the same solid build and period character.
What's on the outside
The era-correct details are all here — the fixed carry handle and rear sight, the slim round handguard and the long moderator on the muzzle — while the sliding stock lets you set the length to suit. The battery sits in the handguard.

Good to know before you buy
It's a great pick if you want the classic carbine handling without the length of a full M16, and it suits both re-enactment and faster-moving woodland play. Standard full-metal internals run best on a NiMH, and Tokyo Marui V2 compatibility keeps the upgrade options open.
