The receiver of the weapon is from an '''ArmaLite M15A4 Carbine''', an M-4 Carbine clone. The barrel is 7.25" long, much shorter than that of a Colt CAR-15 or Colt M-4 Carbine, and was taken from a '''Bushmaster Carbon-15LE SMG''', another M-4 Carbine clone. The stock is an aftermarket '''Bell & Carlson Model #6906-02 Black Textured Synthetic Thumbhole Buttstock'''. The weapon's fore-end uses Bushmaster's proprietary four-direction Picatinny rail interface and usually mounts a tactical vertical grip. An '''ELCAN OS3 4x28''' after-market reflex optical sight is shown mounted on the Picatinny rail atop the receiver. Carter almost exclusively uses a '''100-round Beta C-Mag''' with this weapon, but it will accept any M16/ M4 magazines.

The Micro 16 assault rifle, also known as the "Carter Special", is a custom-made rifle developed and used by Samantha Carter during the Stargate Program's seventh year of operation. She used it prior to switching back to the P90 submachine gun. (SG1: "Avenger 2.0", "Evolution, Part 1", "Evolution, Part 2")

Behind the scenes

The prop department for the show assembled the weapon by using parts from three different weapons. The base weapon is an Olympic Arms K23B Carbine with a 7.25" barrel, much shorter than that of a Colt CAR-15 or Colt M-4 Carbine. The stock is an aftermarket Bell & Carlson Model #6906-02 Black Textured Synthetic Thumbhole Buttstock. The weapon's fore-end uses Bushmaster's proprietary four-direction Picatinny rail interface and usually mounts a tactical vertical grip. An ELCAN OS3 4x28 after-market reflex optical sight is shown mounted on the Picatinny rail atop the receiver. Carter almost exclusively uses a 100-round Beta C-Mag with this weapon, but it will accept any M16/ M4 magazines.
