C7A2

"The C7 series of firearms is driven by the same direct impingement gas system as the M16 series. The C7 has both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire modes. The C7 also features the structural strengthening, improved handguards, and longer stock developed for the M16A2. One major difference is Diemaco's use of hammer-forged barrels, introduced as the Canadians originally wished ti use a heavy barrel profile instead of the M16A2 profile. With Canadian involvement in Afghanistan, Diemaco and the Canadian Forces developed improvements to the C7A1 to better suit the operational situations at hand. The result, the C7A2, has a four-point telescoping stock unit similar to that of the C8 carbine and a three-rail TRI-AD I mount on the front single triangle. The selector lever, magazine release, and charging handle latch is ambidextrous. Also, the C7A2 is issued with green colour furniture as standard. These weapons are often seen with a similar plethora of accessories as their American counterparts given the overall commonalities of the system and the rail mounts. The C7A2 is also issued with the C79A2 ELCAN optical gunsight with 3.4× magnification but with a uniform green rubber armored coating, but some soldiers who are issued it have either been issued or have purchased sights like the EOTech holographic weapons sight."

 * Prior to B20, the C7 alongside the C8 were the most controllable infantry weapons in the game, giving Canadian infantry an immense advantage in firefights.
 * It shares the same firing sound as the C8A3.
 * As of B20, the C79A2 ELCAN scope can now be adjusted to fit different ranges. By default, it's ranged for 200 meters and can be ranged up to 800 meters. This makes the Canadian Army the only faction in the game with adjustable rifle scopes aside from their sniper rifle.
