The kit gives Marines a shorter, vented breaching barrel and three interchangeable buttstock attachments: a pistol grip, fixed buttstock and a collapsible buttstock. At 18 inches long, the MEK's barrel is nearly three inches shorter than the M500A2's standard barrel, making it less cumbersome for Marines to carry.
