In the United States. It's origins lie in the problematic XM-177 carbine. Replacing the 10 inch barrel and bulbous flash suppressor with a 14.5 inch barrel rectified some of the problems, then the special operations community was asked for their input into improving further on that. So the new rifle was built on A2 receivers, and had some new features, such as the extended feed ramps requested by the special ops community.
