  1. I think the Textron bid is best in isolation, the ammo weight savings and the way it deals with the casings is very interesting. General dynamics seems like it won't win based on rifle alone but it's worth seeing how polymer ammo will deal with heat. The Sig bid is probably the best from a logistical standpoint. The only real difference in production will be the type for making any new cartridge and they even have similarly the casings already for it from the 7.62 cartridges as it's a ×51mm cartridge and so much like the 5.7×28mm it's a fairly simple switch for the cartridges.
