CAR-15 / XM177E2 – zmodyfikowana wersja amerykańskiego karabinu szturmowego M16. CAR-15 Colt Commando – odmiana karabinu M16 (jego krótka wersja ze składaną kolbą). Zasadnicza zmiana to zastąpienie kolby stałej kolbą rurową. Jest ona wsuwana teleskopowo. Posiada również wydłużony tłumik płomienia. Odmiana ta była używana przez Armię Stanów Zjednoczonych w czasie konfliktu w Wietnamie.
