Editing Colt Canada C7 and C8 (section)

===C8A1===
The C8A1 (Diemaco C8FT) is essentially a C8 carbine with a C7A1 flat-top upper receiver; the carbine having a {{convert|368|mm|adj=on}} barrel versus the {{convert|508|mm|adj=on}} barrel typically seen on the C7.<ref>{{cite news|title=C8A2 Technical Specifications|url=http://www.motov.dk/documents/c8a2.pdf|date=April 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425153340/http://www.motov.dk/documents/c8a2.pdf|archive-date=2012-04-25}}</ref> The overall layout of the weapon remains essentially unchanged except for the upper receiver and the general inclusion of the [[C79 Optical Sight|C79]] sight. C8A1s have also been more commonly seen with the detachable carry handle with A1 sights developed by Diemaco for both the C7FT and the C8FT. The C8A1 was never officially adopted by the Canadian Forces and was only used in Afghanistan for the ability to use the C79 optical sights.
