The KelTec SU-16E is a compact, utility-oriented semi-automatic rifle configured with a 16-inch threaded barrel and a folding stock. It employs a long-stroke gas-piston system and a Johnson/Stoner-style breech locking arrangement for its operating cycle. Constructed largely of high-impact reinforced polymer (except for the barrel and operating components), the design accepts standard AR-15/M-16 magazines and ships with a 10-round magazine. Controls include a reciprocating bolt handle and magazine catch on the right side, and the push-bolt safety can be changed to operate from either side.
