The system called Counterpoise enhances the accuracy of the rifle in semi- and fully-automatic fire by reducing perceived recoil impulse by 50% and 80%, in the the firing modes, respectively. The system is expected to be adopted for the US military's standard M16A2 rifles and ultimately into M16 rifles worldwide.
