The ACR was originally known as the 'Masada', and was designed in the early 2000s by Magpul Industries of Austin, Texas. Magpul's original design combined elements from several different modern rifles, incorporating what was considered to be the best features of each into a single, lightweight, modular rifle. Examples of the design features borrowed by Magpul include the short-stroke gas piston system from the AR-18, the wide use of polymers and the location of the charging handle from various HK rifles, the upper receiver design from the FN SCAR, and the trigger pack, barrel, and fire control group of the AR-15. The Masada rifle also included several features developed by Magpul themselves, such as a quick-change barrel/trunnion system, an adjustable gas regulator, a non-reciprocating charging handle, and storage compartments located in the stock and grip. | The ACR was originally known as the 'Masada', and was designed in the early 2000s by Magpul Industries of Austin, Texas.

− | + | The military version of the ACR is produced by Remington Arms. The Remington ACR is classified as a gas-operated, selective-fire rifle. It makes use of the short-stroke gas piston system from Stoner's AR-18, and is able to achieve a cyclic rate of 650 to 700 rounds per minute. The Remington ACR chambers the standard 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, and could be modified to chamber the .300 BLK and 6.8×43mm Remington SPC cartridges (the 6.8 SPC being specially designed for U.S. special forces usage). The rifle can be fed by Magpul's own 30-round capacity PMags or all M16 style magazines. The fire selector lever is located above the pistol grip, and it toggles between fully and semi automatic as well as functioning as a safety. The charging handle is placed in a manner similar to FN's SCAR, where it is a horizontal reciprocating curved piece located above the magazine well. The magazine release is located just above the trigger. All the features of the ACR can be moved to either side of the rifle, making it fully ambidextrous. Empty brass cases can only eject to the right, but a deflector is installed to deflect spent brass away from a left handed user's face. | |
− | + | The ACR is advertised as being adaptive, meaning the rifle can be quickly disassembled. Parts can be replaced and swapped quickly in the field without the use of tools. To switch between firing calibers, the user simply has to replace the bolt head and barrel. Having access to different length barrels and foldable/extendable stocks, the ACR can be quickly modified into a carbine, PDW, and DMR variant from the standard assault rifle configuration. Other features include various polymer components to cut down on weight, and a monolithic Picatinny rail along the top of the rifle for attaching optics. Additional Picatinny rails can also be installed on the Remington ACR's handguard to allow for the mounting of other compatible accessories. | |
− | The | + | The Individual Carbine competition was prematurely cancelled with no winner chosen, so the ACR did not win despite demonstrating all of its selling points. As a result, the rifle itself did not enter mass production. However, in 2008 Bushmaster International entered into a licensing agreement with Magpul whereby they would take over production, future development, and sales of the ACR. Bushmaster produced a semi-automatic version known as the Bushmaster ACR and released it onto the commercial market to civilian gun enthusiasts. Bushmaster also produced various aftermarket conversion kits, allowing the Bushmaster ACR to chamber different calibers. |

|characterinfo = Character setting for ACR states that she is a calm and level headed T-Doll at all times, she will always look at problems from other people's perspective and she believes anger is a sign of incompetence. Quite a few different companies handled her development and she was passed around a lot, which unfortunately resulted in her basic programming being unnecessarily convoluted and messy. A lot of non-mission related datalogs are often deleted automatically, so she may appear to be 'amnesic'. | |characterinfo = Character setting for ACR states that she is a calm and level headed T-Doll at all times, she will always look at problems from other people's perspective and she believes anger is a sign of incompetence.
