Canada, when they changed to 5.56 NATO from 7.62 NATO in 1984 followed the US' lead and went with an M16 variant.
The C7 is very much like the M16A2 except they kept the rear sight and full-auto from the M16A1.
Also, like the United States, in 1994 they adopted a carbine version of their rifle.
The fixed rear sight C8 and the flat-top C8A1. The C8A1 got issued with an Elcan C79 3.4x optic.
Interestingly, the flat-top C7A1 rifle wasn't issued until 2005! Too late for T2K.
I've made amendments... again.
