The ATI GSG-16 .22 LR semi-auto carbine (American Tactical part no. GERGGSG1622) gives tactical-style rifle shooters an affordable, low-recoil trainer built around the reliable GSG operating system. Every rimfire round cycles through a 16.25-inch barrel and a lightweight polymer receiver, making this carbine equally at home teaching new shooters the fundamentals or racking up cheap plinking rounds at the range. Its modernized collapsible stock and ambidextrous controls give it the feel of a full-size tactical rifle at a fraction of the cost and recoil.
