One of the four main concepts coming out of this program was the XM106, developed by the U.S. Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) in January 1978. The design, an open-bolt, magazine-fed adaption of the M16A1, was developed under the guidance of Timothy Brosseau.

The four candidates were three belt-fed 5.56mm light machine guns: Ford Aerospace’s XM248; FN’s XM249; H&K’s XM262; and one magazine-fed weapon, the XM106. The XM106 had the home-field advantage: it was developed by the Army’s own Ballistics Research Laboratory.

The XM106 boasted a quick-change barrel system, forward pistol grip and a modified fire control group which allowed the weapon to fire from an open bolt. The M16A1′s standard buffer was replaced with a new one which lowered the weapon’s rate of fire to ~750 rounds per minute.
