The SU-16D is currently available in two models D9 and D12. The SU-16D12 has a longer barrel for higher velocity and can also accept a standard M-9 bayonet, or more appropriately, Kel-Tec's light weight, folding bayonet. The SU-16D is a gas operated, semi-automatic rifle in 5.56 mm NATO caliber. The barrel and chamber are chrome lined. All steel components are Parkerized. The "Delta" model rifles are intended as a personal weapon for non-infantry military personnel, special operations, SWAT law enforcement, and civilians in high risk environments. The SU-16D is especially suited for low intensity urban combat, such as ambush response from inside a vehicle, or fighting in confined spaces. The concept of replacing the pistol with a carbine in military units is not new. The intermediate power 5.56 mm round and modern polymer materials make it possible to achieve a weapon of a size and weight only marginally larger than a Sub Machine Gun. The SU-16D9 is less than 20" folded, weighs 4.7 lbs loaded with 30 rounds and has a practical range of over 150m.
In firearms terminology, an action is the physical mechanism that manipulates cartridges and/or seals the breech. The term is also used to describe the method in which cartridges are loaded, locked, and extracted from the mechanism. Actions are generally categorized by the type of mechanism used.
