Comments by "ostiariusalpha" (@ostiariusalpha) on "Textron's NGSW 6.8mm Prototype M4 Replacement Deep Dive" video.
@ZURAD Well, Textron has already said that their 6.8mm cartridge runs at higher pressure, it's just not quite as high as the 90K PSI of the SIG ammo.

@ZURAD Almost gets away with it, the Textron rifle does use a slightly longer barrel to reach the Army's muzzle velocity requirement, but much less length than the General Dynamics bullpup which operates at more conventional pressure.

I'm fairly certain that AAI was using mostly Radel (polyphenylsulfone) in their original cartridges that operated at a conventional pressure. Their higher pressure 6.8mm NGSW round is probably also Radel, though perhaps with a PEEK/PEKK coating applied.
