Rail Integration System
Rail Integration Systems (RIS, sometimes also referred to as Rail Adapter Systems) are the primary method of attaching accessories to small firearms such as assault rifles (such as the American Colt M16 rifle and semi-automatic AR-15 civilian version which were originally designed by Colt), and light machine guns. This is done primarily in militaries and by fire-arm enthusiasts to improve the usability of the weapon being accessorized quickly and efficiently without requiring the weapon operator to field-strip the weapon.
