The Model 653 is a key part of U.S. Special Forces kit in '83, a shortened carbine based on the M16A1 specifically designed for SOCOM use.

It's legacy lives on to this day and is in many ways the predecessor to the modern M4 Carbine.

Following overwhelming feedback on the Steam Next Fest demo, we’ve made the decision to shift our Early Access release of ’83 out of 2025 and into early 2026.
We believe in ‘83 and are committed to doing what’s best for both the project and our community.

We're happy to show off our completely reworked AK family series of rifles based on community feedback.

Not only have they received an visual upgrade, they are also now true to their real life counterparts down to the last rivet!

Keep that feedback coming!
