The '''StG M6''', officially the '''Sturmgewehr Modell 2006''', is an [[Acrea|Acrean]] 5.56x45mm select-fire rifle designed by the Stuhr arsenal for the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. The M6 was born out of a program to combine the operating system of the [[Stuhr StG M90|StG M90]] with the ergonomics of the [[Stuhr StG M68|StG M68]], an Acrean derivative of the Shalumite StG 64 which was used primarily by special forces and other specialised troops. First adopted in limited numbers by the [[Jagdkommando]] in 2004, the M6 was later approved for service by the Acrean Army in 2006.
The '''StG M6''', officially the '''Stormgevær Modell 2006''', is an [[Acrea|Acrean]] 6.8x43mm select-fire rifle produced by Försvarets Fabriksverk Charlottenburg for the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. The M6 was developed as a modernisation of the [[StG M65|StG M65]]. The M6 was first adopted by the [[Royal Acrean Army]] in 2001, and later adopted by the [[Royal Acrean Marine Corps]] in 2010.  
 
In addition to adoption by the Acrean Army, the M6 has seen widespread use among law enforcement agencies in Acrea and abroad. It currently serves as the standard service rifle for all Acrean Army divisions within Army Group Nord and and is expected to fully replace the M90 in frontline service with all divisions by 2026.
