The MK12 was developed by the Naval Warfare Centre, Crane Division to create a precision rifle suitable for close quarters, offering better range than an M4 while being shorter than an SR25, designed to replace the upper receiver assemblies of existing M16A1 or M4A1 rifles for designated marksman roles. Inspired by combat experiences in Somalia, the SPR (Special Purpose Receiver) concept was proposed by Mark Westrom, along with John Noveske and Steve Holland, for a heavier barrel in 18, 20, or 22-inch configuration on the M4 and M16 systems but still retain the ability to fire full auto when need be. Testing began in 2000, drawing inspiration from the SOPMOD Block I program and the US Navy SEALs Recon Rifle.
After correcting the first batch of SPR rifles, the rifle was re-designated to the Mk12, with its acronym renamed to the Special Purpose Rifle, and was officially issued to the US Army in 2002. The Cyma replicates the short barreled variant of the Mk12, the Mod H, a 16-inch short barrel that was primarily used by the Army Green Berets and Special Missions Units, featuring the PRI Gen3 rounded handguard, along with the shorter RECCE rails and the unique Allen Engineering OPS brake and collar. On the back, the the Cyma replicates the Colt licensed receiver, with an ISO Sierra Precision pistol grip for precise ergonomic control of the rifle, along with an adjustable 4-position crane stock for better shooter comfort. The rifle features foldable Knights BUIS sights and a 30rnd Cyma CGS STANAG mag.
A collaborative partnership between Cyma CGS and Colt, licensed by Cybergun, the Colt Mk12 Mod H utilises the CYMA Cyma Gas System, a collaborative effort with T8 (SP Systems) in replicating the venerable Tokyo Marui MWS M4 / AR-15 series of gas airsoft rifles, reinforced with steel internals for better durability and an adjustable trigger box. Because of this, you could expect this rifle to perform well and you have the backing of a plethora of aftermarket support.
