Military usage[]
Currently, the U.S. Marine Corps Recon battalions use the ASFR as their standard infantry rifle in Afghanistan and some MARSOC units are issued the ASFR. About 10,000 ASFRs have been issued the USMC so far.
Now, the U.S. Army's 101st Airbourne Division and the 75th Ranger Regiment (Army Rangers) have just began using the ASFR.
The AF have yet to issue the rifle and plan on staying with their old M16s and M4s.
The Navy SEALs use a variant of the ASFR called the NSFR (Navy Special Forces Rifle) seen below:
