So what are they first and foremost? The hosts take a brief look at the history of the platform and discuss its origins and evolution. The SOPMOD kits are primarily a set of modular accessory options and modifications for the M4 platform used by SOCOM. The MK18 is a completed rifle accessorized with close quarter battle (CQB)in mind. The MK18 originally arose from the idea that a dedicated CQB upper receiver would be available to special missions units.
