Just a 16"-18" barrel with a full length handguard, using a rifle, mid, or carbine length gas system.

The main advantages are the full sight radius and more handguard space.  The only negative is a little extra weight over the front vs a traditional carbine.

I like 'em, cause they handle like a 20 incher and are a bit more compact.

A Dissipator has a 16" barrel but keeps the rifle-length sight radius.
