  1. 5.45 is relatively the same cost of 5.56 in the states If the guys who have said its superior are honest, they will still shoot it Or maybe they were only saying it was better due to low price of milsurp

  3. I wanna see a Spear LT firing one of SIG's hybrid steel based rounds at 80k PSI. Could get 16" barreled ballistics from an 11.5" barrel

  4.  @TheGamingHellhound  Yes, it's in 6.8x51, which is slower than 7.62 from an all brass case.

  5.  @RB-xv4si  I'm well aware of that. Look at the barrel wear and destruction that 62k PSI m855A1 does to barrels, locking lugs, and feed ramps. The 80K PSI 6.8 will be even worse. The 264 USA is a superior bullet and doesn't have the excessive pressure. It's lighter, top.

  8. Due to the size of the bore, 12 guage loses very little velocity per inch. Often below 10 fps. The difference between a 24" and a 10" should be around 150 fps.

  10. Why not both? An M250 and 2x M5 per squad, everyone else gets this

  12. Summer of 05, a man drove through our TCP not paying attention. A team leader with a SAW blasted 7 or 8 rounds through the windshield from about 40 meters. Every round but one missed, and that hit him in the elbow. The M855s were deviating as much as 45 degrees after impact with the glass We didn't have that problem with M855A1 or brown tip in Afghanistan

  13. ​ @jameslovesjammie  You said this 3 times in a row as if you knew what you're talking about about. They are shooting 113 grain fmj in this video It's the same ammo the US Army is using for range ammo

  14. Little known fact- a 3 round burst of 7N6 is called The Shocker

  15. There's no way 6.8x51 can replace 5.56 for most roles, but it seems it could easily replace 7.62 in DMRs and GPMGs. We still need to retain 5.56 for everyone else. Your rifle is only one of many weapons and a ton of equipment soldiers need to carry. The Spear LT with a 11.5" barrel and the folding stock would be a logical choice to replace the M4, maybe call it the M6. I can't imagine carrying the 13 pound M5 on top of carrying a Javelin, an M320 with 24 grenades, a Carl Gustaf, or hauling ammo for the GPMGs. This gun, I can see filling that role. 6 pounds stripped means by the time you add the 1-6x SIG Tango optic, IR Laser, loaded mag, and suppressor, the weapon would be 9.5 pounds and only 22 inches with stock folded. Very light and compact for the ranges most troops engage. Further than 300, the 6.8 weapons are utilized. For most troops who aren't in combat roles, a simple red dot like the current issued CompM4 would keep the gun around 7.5 pounds loaded.

  16. If the electronics fail, it has an etched reticle. If the entire optic fails, the rifle has iron sights. Just like any other military optic.

  17. Then it would be far less durable.

  18. From a revolver, no less

  19. All depends on how far you need to shoot. In self defense, a 10" is fine. 14.5 is great to 300, and 20" will get you to 800 with a good optic.

  23.  @hervy1180  I'm a killer. What about it? Never killed any babies. They never presented a threat to me. Maybe if they could wear an S vest

  27.  @jason200912  I fam fired one, but never used one in combat. I know what it's like to be on the receiving end, but the enemy gunners weren't especially skilled. I doubt I have ever been fired on by a truly zeroed weapon. They tended to just rock and roll instead of accurate bursts.

  28.  @armynurseboy  Fair assessment. I think it might go the opposite with the new 6.8x51mm round. I think it can easily replace 7.62. There's both a high pressure round, along with a lower pressure round. Both seem to be better than 7.62. Just makes sense to me. With newer designs and metallurgy, I think we're going to see more guns and ammo going that way. FN has designed the new 6.5x43mm LICC round with a similar 3 piece round with high pressure, along with a new carbine to fire it. They also have modified the 12 pound 5.56 Evolys to fire it. Pretty cool, indeed. I'm still a sucker for the old guns, though

  29.  @DukesOfArma  Yeah, it is. You get used to it. Most of us carried it with the 100 round nutsack, with another on our belt, and two 200 round pork chops on our chest. It changes the whole gun when you add the KAC "dildo grip" to the bottom of it. Becomes a true automatic rifle.

  30. Really wish this would have gotten issued to us regular line grunts

  31. I don't see the point of that many mags. A good leader should be ensuring that everyone is carrying about the same weight so one man isn't more overloaded than the other. That means carrying ammo for the M249 and m240, not mags. I'd much rather have soldiers carrying an extra 20 pounds in GPMG ammo than the same in carbine mags. 35 mags is 35 pounds. Better to carry 7 mags and 400 rounds of 7.62 for that weight

  36. Nah, theyll have us zero irons and optics, then take the optic off an qualify, THEN put the optic back and qualify with THAT. Craziness.

  37. Nowadays, a 123 grain 6.5G in a much lighter rifle would make more sense

  38. Maybe the 6x machineguns ACOG, but those are rarely seen in the civilian world

  39. My effective range with my 9" 300 BLK has been about 200 meters with subs, and 400 meters with supers

  43. Pretty sure most murders in the US are committed with centerfire handguns. Almost none are committed with . 22s

  44. I wanna see this with a standard 30 round magazine

  45. Nowadays, with M855A1 ammo (frag threshold less than 2000 fps), the range of these guns is extended. They will fragment out past 200 meters with the 10.3" barrel. That's usually plenty of range in cities.

  46.  @GarandThumb  I guess the best alternative would be the 62 grain Federal MSR 5.56 round. Has similar velocity and expansion threshold and is available to civilians.

  47.  @NinjaofApathy  This is the same bullet and velocity as a 338 going subsonic after tracking 1800 - 2000 yards
