A Viper Innovation Cell and CATM Collab - Shaw AFB Implements 3-D Printed M-4 Magazine Speed Loading Ram

From left, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Brandon Murray, 20th Security Forces Combat Arms Training and Maintenance non-commissioned officer in charge, Tech. Sgt. Nickalos Richards, 20th Fighter Wing innovation lead, compare loading times for an M-4 carbine magazine with and without the 3-D printed M-4 Magazine Speed Loading Ram (MMSLR) at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Nov. 8, 2023. The MMSLR reduces the time it takes to load the M-4 carbine, to under one minute, allowing the CATM range to conduct more proficiency trainings each year.
