Advanced Combat Rifle
The Advanced Combat Rifle (ACR) was a United States Army program, started in 1986, to find a replacement for the M16 assault rifle. Under the stress of battle the average soldier with an M16 may shoot a target at 45 meters, but hit probability is reduced to one out of ten shots on target by 220 meters. Because of this, the ACR program was initiated in the late 1980s to create a weapon that could double the hit probability. None of the weapons tested met the criteria, and the program ended in 1990 after an expenditure of approximately US$300 million. The ACR program was preceded by older programs such as the Special Purpose Individual Weapon.
