Colt's Rejected M16 Family - The CAR-15 Weapon System

As the AR-15 quickly gained popularity in the US military and civilian world, Colt set about securing the Stoner-designed rifle's tenuous position by developing a whole family of AR-15 derived weapons. What resulted from their efforts was the CAR-15 and CMG-1 weapon systems, but unfortunately, pretty much all of these designs would fail horrendously and were relegated to the dustbin of history. So what prompted Colt to pursue these new models of the AR-15? Why did these variants fare so poorly compared to their predecessor? And how are these weapons still relevant in the modern world?
