The gun is self-steering on the mount, though firing can be commanded manually. The system is mounted on an operator's harness and slaved to an infrared tracking system. The replaceable barrel system is air cooled, though a heat sink attachment can be jacketed onto it. The gun is constructed largely from molded carbon-fiber and light alloy stampings, though some interior parts of the mechanism are plastic. The gun also incorporates a muzzle booster to ensure the necessary operating forces from the large round. The pulse-action system employs a free floating recoil dampened motorized rotating breech mechanism chambered for the M250 series 10 mm x 28 caseless round. The M56 "Smartgun" is a 10mm general purpose automatic USCM squad support weapon effective to 1,500 meters.
