The line between unconventional and conventional warfare has diminished, as well as the gray line between military and police operations. Troops that will be operating in urban centers today might well be the same troops to fight in the jungle or desert environment tomorrow. The budgetary constraints of Armed Forces and Law Enforcement have also limited the equipment capabilities of Special Units.

When FERFRANS designed the Special Operations Assault Rifle (SOAR), it took into consideration the needs and limitations of Special Forces and Special Law Enforcement units. Such a rifle must embody the features necessary to meet the needs of Special Operations now and in the future. This rifle must be Reliable, Accurate, Maintainable, Durable, Adaptable and Available. A full-spectrum rifle that will increase accurate firepower is vital for combat operations.

Due largely to the abundance of and familiarity with the M16 type rifles in the inventory of NATO troops, it was advantageous to use the M16 as a platform for modification and upgrade rather than designing a new rifle system. Using the M16 also answers the need for Maintainability and Availability. However, the M16 and especially the M4 type rifles remain plagued with uncontrollability in full-auto fire as well as reliability. This is evident when US troops replaced the full auto feature with a 3 round burst mechanism (M16A2), limiting firepower.

To answer the uncontrollability issue of the M16 rifle, FERFRANS designed the Rate Reduction System that reduces the rate of full-auto fire from 860 – 900 rpm to a much more controllable 580 – 680 rpm. This feature is unique to FERFRANS weapons.

With such a reduced cyclic rate, burst fire or non- stop full auto fire can be easily achieved by mere controlling one’s trigger squeeze to keep bullets on target, thereby increasing accuracy.

By reducing the rate of fire in full-auto, the impact stress on the entire bolt group is also reduced, making full-auto fire controllable and smooth.

As Eugene Stoner (designer of the M16 rifle) described it, “impact stress is a function of velocity. When you reduce the velocity by 20%, it doesn’t mean that the impact stress is reduced by only 20% but by at least 40%. This is almost a 50% reduction on impact stress, increasing reliability, parts longevity and reducing overheating.

As combat missions and requirements evolve, there is an increasing need for an assault rifle that will be safe to fire even when water is still inside the bore, as in “over the beach” operations. FERFRANS incorporated a short-stroke piston to solve this challenge and designated it as the FERFRANS SOAR-P to denote Piston. All FERFRANS SCW and HVLAR use the FERFRANS short stroke piston.

The FERFRANS WEAPON SYSTEM is a family consisting of 5 modular weapons types using one operating system, commonality of parts and one training. SCW (Sub-Compact Weapon), SOAR (P) 10 SBR, SOAR (P) 14 Carbine, SOAR (P) 20 Assault Rifle, and HVLAR High Volume Light Automatic Rifle.

• RELIABLE – with the patented Rate Reduction System – Reliable Firepower
• ACCURATE – Fully controllable full-auto and match grade barrels full increased Accuracy.
• MAINTAINABLE – With 80% parts commonality with M16, M4 type rifles, parts are abundant and readily available. Maintenance training is also minimal.
• AVAILABLE – The FERFRANS SOAR-P is readily available within 3-6 months after Export approval by the U.S. State Department with a production capacity of 2,000 rifles per month for larger orders.
• DURABLE – All FERFRANS rifles are designed for full-auto operation and with the Rate Reduction System, increase reliability, parts longevity and decrease the chance of overheating.
• ADAPTABLE – The FERFRANS Special Operations Assault Rifle can be configured as a Sub-Compact weapon, Short Barreled Assault Rifle, Assault Rifle and a Machine gun by just changing the length of the barrel. It is also equipped with a quad rail that can readily accommodate all the tactical accessories needed and will function any M16, M4 type magazines from 20, 40, 60, 100 and 150 round magazines.
