The DPMS "Kitty Kat" is a, historically niche, ultra-compact AR-15 platform originally introduced by DPMS Panther Arms in the early 2000s, featuring a signature 7-inch barrel designed for SWAT and close-quarters battle (CQB). Known for its extreme maneuverability, it was sold in various configurations throughout the 2000s, often featuring a fixed carry handle upper (RFA1) or a National Match handguard. Recently revived, the DPMS DR-15 Kitty Kat is now produced with modern updates like a CAR brace.
