The Dasan Machineries K16 is a 5.56×45mm NATO selective fire assault rifle based on DSAR15PC, which is a modified CQB variant of DSAR15P designed and manufactured by Dasan Machineries.
History
The Republic of Korea Armed Forces classifies K16 as submachine gun for same reason as K1A while its general characteristic is closer to assault rifle or carbine. K16 will undergo 3 years of development and 1 year of feasibility study in between 2020 and 2024, and start mass-producing by 2024.[1]
The DSAR-15PC was selected on June 23, 2020 to replace K1A carbine in service in the Republic of Korea Army Special Warfare Command after competing against S&T Motiv STC-16.[2] According to an unnamed South Korean military official, special forces personnel from the 707th Special Mission Group and the 13th Special Mission Brigade will receive 1,000 DSAR-15PCs.[3] 15,000 DSAR-15PCs with modifications based on feedback will be delivered by 2023.[3]
However the DSAR-15PC was cancelled as the base model for the special operational submachine gun development project due to allegations of leaking military secrets by a former manufacturer's executive. As a result, the project returned to square one, forcing the selection of other firearms.[4][5] There are allegations that the cancellation was politically motivated.[6]
