True Velocity is suing Sig, claiming that Sig conducted corporate espionage to obtain design data used to compete in the NGSW program. They claim that Sig stole their Short Recoil Impulse Averaging tech, among other things. Is there any realistic hope of assessing the technical merits of the case from the peanut gallery?https://defensenews.com/land/2024/04/17/true-velocity-sues-sig-sauer-alleging-stolen-trade-secrets/

>>61441549>stole their short recoil impulse averaging tech>didnt steal their plastic shit ammoKek even the Siggers knew it was shit
>>61441549>Is there any realistic hope of assessing the technical merits of the case from the peanut gallery?Fuck no this board is next to useless
>>61441549Corporate espionage is nothing new between companies. The hard part is that you need to prove it.
>>61441565more like sniggers are lazy and didnt wanna actually innovate
>>61441572arf ain't really better so far. Still need to get hands on the actual vermont filing.https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/True-Velocity-sues-Sig-Sauer--alleging-stolen-trade-secrets/5-2720108/
>>61441549>Short Recoil Impulse Averaging tech,Nigga its just a short stroke
>>61441575Yeah proving it is the bitch, if TV actually has some real proof they could get a settlement that MIGHT amount to a % of past and future earnings of the M7/M250 sales to the military.
>>61441582the winner is the lowest bidder.that's the sole reason why SIG won the contract, they took whatever tooling was making the MCX and called it a night, meanwhile all the others were creating shit from scratch, doesn't help that SIG also make weapon parts in india so that lower the cost too.>>61441599depend if the design is different or not, also if they patented it they can easily claim it as their own instead of public domain stuff, it's also possible they are doing patent trolling in that case there's a huge chance SIG will have to pay up to be left alone
>>61441637If they were actually bidding as a competitor, it isn’t “patent trolling”, it’s legitimate enforcement of their Ip
>>61441582>You WILL pay 24.99 for 20 rounds of TV 5.56>You WILL Get 200 FPS deviations on rounds>You WILL get a an inch of deviation on each roundVery impressive innovative thanks
>>61441549Sounds like legalism at best.The mechanisms on those guns are not all that novel. Just that the barrel and bolt are a recoiling unit together inside the receiver.
>>61441701All of that is pretty irrelevant to a grunt issued version.>$24.99Not when you've scaled up to pump out millions of them.>200fpsWho cares (cont)>1 inchLiterally nobody is even close to noticing that when under fire.
>>61441701>claiming that steel/brass hybrid cases are superior in cost compared to injection molded plastic casesPeak retardation
>>61441599Nah it's not. It's more like if you took a normal gun and put it inside a receiver with a spring behind it.
>>61441701The .308 is far more consistent than the 5.56 in my experience and accuracy has been perfectly serviceable. Nothing crazy, it isn't anything close to my nicer match ammo, about on par with my IWI new production or Austrian surplus. The weight savings is actually really impressive on .308 and I'd like to see the ammo get better with time.
>>61441565The claim is that they poached a GD engineer that worked on the LMMG and presumably had an NDA. After they grabbed him they used his knowledge against the terms of the NDA to create the SLMAG> In January 2014, Sig hired a “key GD-OTS engineer,” David Steimke, who had worked at GD for 19 years and served as the senior principal design engineer at the company’s facility in Vermont. “During that time, Mr. Steimke was an engineer on nearly every belt-fed machine gun design at GD-OTS,” the complaint states. He was also the original designer on the LMMG project.Nothing was stolen as in 'data breach', and nothing from TV themselves, just from GD of which all the belt-fed data and rights TV now owns legitimately.
>>61441726>Every innovation they claimed to makewas actually a lie>Who cares?ok retard
>>61441752> The court document also claims that in addition to knowing Sig had hired former GD-OTS employees, True Velocity also discovered last year that Sig had “misappropriated confidential GD-OTS information, including proprietary design drawing files as well as critical proprietary data in the LMMG Technical Data and Marketing Materials.”Oop, looks like they DID steal data, this is probably what really prompted the lawsuit. Fun!

>>61441758>lighter>lower materials cost>higher pressureEverything else isn't related in any way to innovation, it's just production issues. No shit they're not going to refit an ammo plant entirely on spec.
>>61441782Textrons CT was lighter and higher pressure than TVs polymer >lower materials costThere is no evidence for this for all we know the TV polymer is actually a carbon fiber reinforced polymer

There was a lot of talk about the GD/Beretta rifle using that recoil reduction technology but if you looked up the patents GD held for it the drawings looked almost exactly like the Sig LMG.

>>61442000MAGs just keep on trucking, it's doing something right.
>>61442037>one of the claimed advantages the impulse averaging is not needing a long receiver for good recoil like with constant recoil systems for example>pair it with the longest possible automatic weapon actionWhat did they mean by this???They could have done away with this complicated mechanism and easily fitted a rotating bolt in that huge receiver with a simple constant recoil action.
>>61442084>M240 length 49.7 inches>M250 length (suppressed) 41.8 inches??
Dont forget guys, Steyr went to war with Sig on FCGs and they lost bad lmao
>>61442113Yes? The receiver is the same length. It is a long receiver in both guns. Had they replaced the long MAG bolt with a short compact rotating bolt system they could have used a constant recoil system with a long bolt travel. Resulting in a much simpler system.
>>61442168Can that system handle 338? XM 250 is supposed to be an MG 338 after allAlso one weighs 27 pounds and the other weights 13 pounds so I'm sure Sigs version has significant weight advantage
>>61442131I don't know what the retards in this thread are expecting. SIG will win any lawsuit just on principle of having most of the military in their pocket. Shit, they offed that boeing whistleblower a month ago or whatever and all he did was shit talk their civilian airliners.

>>61448879The pictures shown off from the media day back in September 2023 are believed to be the final revision, and the pictures coming from the recent issuing in march shows the same gun without the forward assist.

>>61448898>lessened recoilThis part isn't true btw. They're both slinging the same bullet going at the same speed so the total recoil force is more or less the same.
>>61449495Thats not true either, Sigs design has both the barrel and bolt carrier group recoiling backwards, the barrel moving absorbs some of the recoil and significantly slows down how fast the whole assembly is hitting the back of the receiver, reducing felt recoilThis setup is they entire reason its possible for people to fire Barretts standing straight up and not fall on their ass
>>61449495Completely different round at vastly different pressure. Similar bullet weight though. The bullpup could have a longer barrel and still make the minimum OAL requirement, the Shig had to have a 13" barrel to do it so they overpressured the round to shit. Every reviewer has complained of excessive recoil.
>>61446745I haven't been present since sending the flickr gallery
>>61449572>posts an 8" barrel version and claiming it's the same thing as the 13" XM7 (not including the suppressor length).That webM is showing a gun almost half the overall barrel length of the actual XM7.
>>61448898Because it has a machine gun trigger
>>61449572>Completely different round at vastly different pressure.>posts gif of complete twig-let on another version of the rifle with a 6 inch barle>don't kill himself out of shamewhy are you a faggot?
>>61449561Felt recoil is not the same thing as total recoil force. A feather could stop the recoil of a 120mm tank cannon if the force is spread over a month.>>61449572Barrel length and all that is totally irrelevant when it comes to recoil.The Sig has a short bolt travel and a snappy bolt that is hitting the back of the receiver at high velocity each shot. Whereas the bullpup has a chassis system where the barrel and the whole action are spring loaded spreading out the recoil force over a longer time. The bullpup works with the same principle as the Sig machine gun and the earlier GD machine gun which is what this whole lawsuit is about.
>>61450237>Barrel length and all that is totally irrelevant when it comes to recoil.So you think an 8" .223 AR has the same recoil as a 22" .223 AR?
>>61450244Given the same bolt velocity and bolt/buffer weight and same firearm overall weight and weight distribution? Yes, more or less.

>>61450541Would love your explanation on how Lena Miculek can defeat Newtons 3rd law through shooting experience
>>61444599Feel it with your heart.
>>61450556Turns out with proper technique, which with heavily recoiling weapons takes a long time to learn, high recoil can be managed well. Same story with the m14, all the armys test shooters never had an issue with the m14 in full auto. Not the case with your average infantryman.
>>61442602Sig's gun isn't recoil operated.
>>61442346nigga, this is how they are instructed to speak to the press
Felt recoil is multi-factorial. It's also partly subjective, e.g. training/familiarity can influence felt recoil. M1911 users may think the Glock recoil is 'high' because it's 'snappy'. People trained on Glocks may think the M1911 recoil is 'high' because it's more spread out in a 'shove'.Some common objective measures of felt recoil are free recoil energy and peak force. Free recoil energy the kinetic energy of the recoiling firearm if no-one was holding it. That's like lightly holding the butt in front of your shoulder and pulling the trigger. It's not the real firearm energy in practice, but it does permit objective comparison based only on specs, without needing range tests. I think I've seen free recoil impulse also used. Peak force is simply the maximum force experienced at the shoulder, which varies depending on how well the butt is supported. This can be measured with strain gauges in the butt during actual, realistic firing, but it requires testing.By these measures, shorter barrels give less recoil due to lower muzzle velocity, all other things equal. However, short barrels also give higher flash and blast, which increases felt recoil, psychologically. Suppressors are good because they not only reduce flast and blast, but also act as a muzzle brake, and add forward weight. Muzzle brakes designed to act as compensators can counteract both free recoil energy and muzzle rise. Even with all other things held equal, muzzle rise will vary with the height of the boreline. E.g. someone used to modern pistols may think a single action revolver has 'huge recoil', when really it's designed to 'flip' to get your thumb on the hammer after each shot. Higher muzzle rise increases felt recoil, both psychologically, and due to increasing time to get back on target, but both effects can be reduced with training. Forward weight reduces muzzle rise by increasing moment of inertia, and things like optics, lights, lasers, and UGLs all contribute to this.
>>61451044Cont. Peak force can vary widely with action and buffer design. Some designs let the bolt/BCG slam into the receiver hard, forward and backward (e.g. AK), and others are very gentle (e.g. Jim Sullivan's so-called 'constant recoil' designs). Someone trained on one buffer can think another buffer is awful, because they've trained their body to compensate precisely for a particular force-vs-time curve, as in the M1911 vs Glock example above.So overall, if we want to compare recoil, we need to define our terms first.>>61450335This video is cool but it doesn't really say much either way. I've seen a video of a G3 being handled the same way, it doesn't mean the G3 is controllable in full auto.- Factors in favour of the XM7: user is short, with a light build, and is not losing control of the firearm.- Factors against: she's leaning right forward, thumb over bore, with the forward weight of a large optic and a suppressor. If you look at the muzzle (or suppressor tip), and her legs, she's not really controlling the burst - the muzzle is rising and she's standing up slowly in an attempt to compensate. The target is not shown - half her rounds may be flying over its 'head'. Battle rifles can be fired like this but it takes a lot of force pushing forward on the foregrip. This is tiring and can't be seen in the video. I'm guessing she started 'strong and hard', but couldn't quite maintain her initial muscular effort.The raison d'etre of 5.56mm rifles was to be controllable in bursts, and they are, fired from an ordinary, realistic, 'run and gun' stance and grip, even without large additions to the moment of inertia.So the video shows that a lightly built woman, with the right stance, grip, training, and accessories, can (almost) fire controllable bursts. That doesn't really say much, either way, about the experience of an average shooter in combat.

>>61453725>Textron wanted to submit a belt fed for the assault rifle but they were told it had to be a box magazine.Source?
Probably can just assume sig is in the wrong here. Made in India crap
>>61453918The NGSW guns, ammo, and optics are all made in the US. Just like all military procurement contracts, unless your get a special waiver to buy from a foreign source, which must be approved every 18 months to determine if a domestic alternative is available, and if it is you must use the domestic supplier.
>>61441549The recoil system wasn't really novel to either of their systems. It was basically an artillery mount, even the Chinese did something similar in their recent light-weight .50 cal HMGs.
>>61453933I know this. Sig is a weird company using the name of a good European manufacture and now they make shit and source parts from India. I understand sig is really popular and they make legion fag guns that are good to shoot but the brand is a Jewish made in India dumpster fire and no one should support it.
>>61441881>>61442251I know it used tungsten and other metallic powder, from some old patents.

So maybe when someone comes along who’s maybe not as tied to that baggage, they will say “you know, maybe we could do a belt-fed rifle, there’s no reason that we had to have magazines.”
>>61441701Yes but you can carry twice as much TV ammo given how light it is

>>61453901>bro... lets just give a rifle all the problems of a revolver
>>61454013>lets just give a rifle all the problems of a revolverYou mean the chamber gap? The end of the case splits open when the bullet goes through it and seals the gap.
>>61454041cylinder gap and headspace, forcing cone alignment, chamber alignment
>>61454053All of that is solved by the cartridge design. It opens, seals, and guides the bullet into the barrel very consistently. Revolvers would probably be much better off of they were shotguns, although then you might want them to be gas operated.
>>61454083You have no data to support that claim. Whether the cartridge did or didn't, the design was inherently bad for making those potential problems in the first place.
>>61454097>You have no data to support that claim.I have an interview with the lead developer supporting it: >>61453973>the design was inherently bad for making those potential problems in the first place.It didn't have those problems though, since they were solved by the same case design that made it possible in the first place. They exist only in your imagination.
>>61453940You clearly don't understand since the NGSW is entirely made in the USA.Enjoy your unhinged rant though.
>>61450496>The primary determination on if you can handle recoil or not is 1) Your weight 2) Your strengthIt's skill. According to Soviet tests top 25% (conscript) shooters have 3 times less size of automatic fire groups than bottom performing 25% shooters.
>>61444289He didn't testify, he was deposed. Similar thing, but it's before hearings. Simplest answer about why they didn't kill him earlier is, they didn't know how bad his deposition was going to be for them.
>>61454121>They exist only in your imagination.Hello.Teexyron shitty "nobody asked for these problems" design lost.
>>61454580Okay, let's see your evidence that it had anything to do with chamber gap. In fact, let's see your evidence that it had anything to do with anything other than corruption.
>>61453901That thing should've been dropped based on its excessive bulk alone. You can't come to me and tell me that giant thing is a rifle, I'd send them back and tell them to make it smaller. Wtf is going on internally that it needs that much fucking space?
>>61455860that
>>61448879I believe you can lock the charging handle on the left side of the receiver in place and use it as a forward assist if necessary.
>>61456728>An objectively more reliable feeding systemHow horrifying
>>61456781>more reliable feeding systemKek, imagine believing this.
>>61457002I mean to me it just kinda looks like the feed system on an M240 turned on its side
>>61455860It could have been a lot simpler and more visually compact as a bullpup, but the Army hates bullpups for unclear reasons. Too hard for the average zogbot to find where the magwell wandered off to, I guess.
>>61457026>I mean to me it just kinda looks like the feed system on an M240 turned on its sidemaybe if you were dropped on your head.
>>61457002>We made picrel impossible>It is now less reliable Very interesting
>>61457064>sliding tray that uses a curved track to move back and forth and move rounds out of the way
>>61456728How do you clear the chamber? How do you verify that it's clear? What happens when you pull the charging handle back and stick a finger in there to push the cartridge out, and your hand slips and the gun tries to chamber your pinky?
>>61457148>remove magazine>rack twice>stick pinky in lowered chamber thing>no cartridge>gun doesn't have enough mechanical advantage to harm your pinky>just pull back on the charging handle and you're fine
>>61456728The retards who think this is some incomprehensible Rube Goldberg machine have never seen the inside of a pump or lever action.
>>61457165>>remove magazine>>rack twiceHow would that clear it? The previous cartridge gets pushed out by the one behind it.
>>61457148It has a very simple clearing rod similar to the ejector rod on a single action revolver.
>>61453973The LSAT is a different program from the NGSW
>>61456728The ejection port is right where your support hand needs to go. Unironically would only work as a bullpup.
>>61457479Could do a set-up like this.
>>61441549At first I thought that thumbnail was some madlad with a stupidly fuckhuge bren gun style magazine.
>>61442894Wtf the army is doing PRS now?
>>61453979Man why the fuck do they have to make the bolt long as fuck. There is absolutely no reason for the bolt to be longer than the cartridge.
>>61458051Because 6.8 is a loaded Pissin HotTM and the bolt is whats taking all the force young zoomer
>>61457223>have never seen the inside of a pump or lever actionBoth of which are unreliable as fuck and can jam in all sorts of ways that aren't as easy to clear as dropping the mag and pulling the bolt back
>>61456728Should have made it a bottom eject bullpup like the Steyr.
>>61458061What the fuck are you talking about retard? The locking lugs are on the barrel extension and on the first half an inch of the bolt. Jeesus I swear this board is filled with retards.
>>61458051Bolt mass is good for reliability and running the feed system. It looks to use a fairly short cam-track so you need a good amount of force to actuate it reliably.
>>61458085Exactly young zoomer, the lock lugs are being reinforced because they're a single cylinder extrusion thats been carved into
>>61458110Bolt CARRIER mass is good for reliability, bolt mass is meh. Just put all your mass into the operating rod and you get high bolt carrier mass, short action length, and as a side benefit more forward mass which helps with recoil.
>>61458123Dude for real what the fuck are you trying to say? For all intents and purposes the material behind the lugs has no effect on action strength. Have you ever seen AK bolts with their thin stem?
>>61458139>5.45 pressure: 51,000>.50 BMG pressure: 54,000>.277 Sig pressure: 81,000Young man if you try copying the AK bolt in a Sig its going to explode
>>61458139Hes saying you are a fucking retard and a nigger macaco-tier monkeycant blame the man tho, hes right
>>61458134Bolt carrier mass is good for extraction, but carrier+bolt mass is good for controlling bolt velocity and forwards momentum. Bulking up the op rod would work, but would make the bottom of the receiver thicker. It also looks like they have some kind of clip in the top of the bolt head, possibly an anti-rotation device. If, so that sets a minimum size necessary to house it, that is already fairly large. So might as well lean into that, then.
>>61458134There's already not much room from the barrel extension lugs to the feed tray already, I can't see shortening it up much on that end without feeding issues.And the conventional top-cover setup pretty much requires the cam roller to be behind the feed tray, so you'd need an unorthodox design to shrink it from that end. Not that they couldn't have done so, if they wanted it bad enough.
>>61458061>>61458123Moron, the SIG uses a standard front locking lug system. Nothing behind the front locking lugs is pressure bearing. It isn't a screw breech or interrupted thread.>>61458168What the hell are you even talking about? Look at their shoulder rifle, being literally just a SIG Spear using a basically conventional AR bolt system. The level of pressure a rotating bolt mechanism can bear is arbitrary and can be engineered for regardless of anything behind the locking lugs and shoulder. What the bolt looks like outside of that, is irrelevant. Are you retarded for something?
>>61458209>XM250/MG338>Posts XM7?????
>>61458051From examining the animation, I think the long bolt is needed to enable direct access to the bolt if it gets stuck. The barrel is fixed to the front of an 'inner receiver' tube, and so its weight supported by large/long sliding surfaces of some kind, which aren't shown explicitly. This 'buries' the breech 'deep' within a cylindrical bearing surface, where a short bolt would be inaccessible in battery, except by yanking on the bolt carrier. With a long bolt, if it gets jammed, you can get a wrench or handle onto the rear of the bolt, to force it to turn.Frankly, I don't like the design, but I don't feel like giving free engineering advice to SIG, not that they'd give a shit.
>>61458231Yes, genius. They shoot the same cartridge. Nothing about the XM250's bolt size is derived from the pressure of the 6.8 cartridge and a need to bulk up to handle it. Because only the locking lugs are bearing that pressure. The bolt could be pencil thin behind the locking lugs. This goes for any rifle at its most basic level. The reason to have a large bolt like that relates to function, like needing to be a certain size to reach different cam ways, needing a certain mass for cyclic reliability, etc.Nothing to do with pressure bearing.You could make an AK in that cartridge without any changes to the size of the bolt stem, so long as the locking lugs could take the pressure.
>>61441582>more like sniggers are lazy and didnt wanna actually innovateAnd yet SIG came out with the most innovated pistol in a decade (P365)
>>61458262Its not the same bolt young manThe XM 250 is a single piece cylinder with locking lugs cut into it, what you are saying that these three cylinders would be they exact same strength under vertical (horizontal in a guns case) compression which is obviously not true
>>61458282When the locking surface is the same, it will be. Anything behind the locking shoulder plays no part in dealing with compression from firing.
>>61458282The force lines go from the cartridge head, to the bolt face, to the bolt lugs, to the barrel lugs, to the barrel trunnion. The rear of the bolt is not involved. You could take the barrel out, and seal the end with a tiny bolt head flush with the barrel extension, and it would still stay sealed.
>>61458168You fucking retard honestly. Force increases -> you make the locking lugs stronger.Material behind them doesn't fucking matter you RETARD>thinking .50 BMG requires a stronger action than .277 SIGJEESUS CHRIST JUST HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE???The Fury has 60 kN of bolt thrust while .50 BMG has 120 kN of bolt thrust, the higher pressure on the Fury requires ABSOLUTELY nothing special on the part of the bolt, just make it strong enough to resist that 60 kN and it works, nothing unconventional like with the casing or whatever the fuck they're gonna do with those barrels.
>>61458200Honestly people should just ditch the MG34 feed system already, the PKM system is much simpler and more compact I don't know why everyone keeps using the cam track mechanism.
>>61458282What the fuck are you talking about your absolute retard?PARTS BEHIND THE LOCKING LUGS ARE NOT PRESSURE BEARING YOU OLD FUCK
>>61458574It is good at keeping the belt movement smooth. Because it splits the steps into two halves, based on the bolt going backwards and then forwards. That is why they used it back in the 30s. It doesn't jerk around the gun or the belt, compared to most other designs.
>>61458660You can achieve the exact same accelerations and velocities with a PKM style system.
>>61444742HK's rifle won the trials to replace the G36 because their competitor violated HK's patents. This is no different, except all the jews fled Germany instead
>>61451392And the Sig Spear is the price you pay for your folly
>>61458268So innovative it even fires by itself!
>>61458840But you would need to add more parts to achieve two-stage feed, reducing simplicity and compactness. For example, you could operate the working end of an MG 42, using a PK-style bell crank, but then it would be no less complex than the MG 42.The overhead cam track's only big advantage that I can see, is that it's easy to manufacture by stamping. A stamped cam track acts like a C-beam.The PK bell crank would be stressed the wrong way if it was stamped. It has to be solid to be strong, and thus heavy. Since the PKM is lighter than Western equivalents, it's arguable that the overall Soviet approach is superior.Other arguable advantages of a 'flat' overhead feed system may be:- It's 'bigger' as seen from above, but smaller as seen from the rear, which is how most users will view it, most of the time.- The feed mechanism is immediately viewable and accessible if it gets dirty or clogged. The PK crank is wrapped around the action so you'd need to partially disassemble it if gets clogged up with crud. Since the PK action is highly reliable to begin with it's not clear if this matters.As with most things, there is likely not so much a good reason as to why it's done, as a lack of a good enough reason to stop doing it.The M60 was supposed to be an 'improved' MG 42, so now the overhead layout is the status quo for the US.>>61458660Btw that's the MG 42 not the MG 34, which was one-stage, as is the XM250 animation above.
>>61458904No it's not, since I'll never own one. I could give less of a fuck what gun someone else is told to use.
>>61458904If you are American your tax dollars pay for it. Literally paying for this mistake. Good thing I'm not from the US.
>>61458962Interestingly enough the M60 feed system was just a one stage system whereas the M240 and M249 both have two stage feeding systems.I think that the PKM system could very well be made out of stampings since most of the forces are in the direction of the belt and can therefore easily be made in line with the sheet metal surface.A two phase feed system seems like a smart idea and I don't know why everyone isn't using it.
QRD on Short Recoil Impulse Averaging tech? I see the MGs barrel reciprocates but is there some special fine tuning to it?>>61441564Atleast this one isn’t bracing the rifle on the can.
>>61457242it can't use the last cartridge to eject the prior one, otherwise it couldn't eject the last round in a magazine.
>>61459131It's just a conventional gas-operated action, with a spring behind it. Provided the core action is reliable, it shouldn't be sensitive or need fine tuning.
>>61459178You wouldn't need to, just put in a new magazine and drop the bolt. It's only a problem with clearing.
>>61457404It's the same group from Textron behind both.
>>61455389Okay, let's see YOUR evidence that Textron solved chamber gap problems. I'll wait.
>>61459247Read the interview with the LSAT boss, she mentions it.
>>61459247You can see with your own eyes that the plastic case presses against the back face of the barrel therefore sealing it.
>>61450256>Yes, more or less.Retard alert.
>>61459587ESL
>>61441726>Not when you've scaled up to pump out millions of them.what plastics are they made of?
>>61458076this looks like a too long action for a bullpup.
>>61441599Same with the HK niggers stealing the german contract due to them claiming they patented fucking weeping holes of the buffertube.
>>61460248The HK maritime holes arent the same ones that are drilled in the stock position holes.
>>61460008They could have cut the bolt length in half and moved it forward into the op rod like in the Steyr.
>>61441549>>61441752>David Steimke, who had worked at GD for 19 years and served as the senior principal design engineer at the company’s facility in Vermont. “During that time, Mr. Steimke was an engineer on nearly every belt-fed machine gun design at GD-OTS,” the complaint states. He was also the original designer on the LMMG project.That's the one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW_Jt17BtRo
>>61463091Yup, and I have to feel this video with garand thumb is targeted/timed with their recent lawsuit filling.
>>61463115I hope this finally makes SIG crash and burnThe M9 replacement was a fucking disgrace and it doesn't seem like the new sig rifle is any different.
>>61464119>The M9 replacement was a fucking disgraceHonestly, it was the best choice. Sig sold the fuckers to the Army for $250 apiece, which is less than it would cost to maintain their M9s. The actual capability of handguns is irrelevant, they're more of a symbol of office than actual combat weapon.
>>61464119>The M9 replacement was a fucking disgraceReminder that those testing the guns preferred the Sig and everyone cited glock's lazy ass safety as a problem. Glocks response was to whine that the requirement for a manual safety was stupid. Meanwhile those morons will design an entire operating mechanism and completely change the entire gun just for a single European police contract. They deserved to lose.
>>61464341Sig learned their lesson from the M9/P226 debacle.>tldr: Reason P226 lost to Beretta 92 was Beretta got insider info about Sig's bid and underbid them at the last second. 226 was objectively better pistol but the 92 was sold so cheaply it was a no-brainer.
>>61463115>that direct comparison with the sig recoilbrutal
>>61464838>brutalnot really? you'd never be walking and shooting what is essentially a heavy machinegun in terms of role on the battlefield.
>>61465028the implication isn't that you'll be walking while shooting, simply it directly demonstrates the recoil differences between the two rifles, and recoil IS an important factor in how a gun handles and less recoil is almost always better.
>>61465032>two riflesThese are not rifles you absolute retard; they're fucking crew served machine guns. The only place you will be while shooting them 99% of the time is on your stomach in the prone, or mounted on an armored vehicle (just like the M2).
>>61465039Where, again, less recoil is still betterAre you retarded or just pretending for the (you)s?
>>61465106I don't think the recoil matters on an emplaced machinegun anon. Like it's super neat that it has less recoil and all, but the thing holding me back from shoulder firing a ma deuce isn't exactly the recoil.
>>61464341>The actual capability of handguns is irrelevant, they're more of a symbol of office than actual combat weapon.Hi-Point missed their chance to supply C-9s to every branch.
>>61464600Did Beretta even change their pricing at all? Their cost estimate for spare parts was a hair lower than Sig's. Meanwhile Sig is pricing their gun itself for pennies.
>>61464341True, but why buy a liability of a gun if it's just to be worn on a hip? Old Berettas would fulfill that role just fine if performance didn't matter at all. How much money did it cost to even run the MHS compared to the poss8ble savings per gun?
>>61465402>True, but why buy a liability of a gunWhat about it is a liability>muh drop safetywas never a problem on the military guns. They are not the same as a p320.
>>61465414Poor reliability with ball ammo, the most common of rounds. Somehow that got glossed over and the judges swept it under the rug. Neither the P226 or 92 ever stooped so low so this is more than brand loyalty
>>61465382Sure, why not? It's barely cheaper than the M17 though.>>61465402Old Berettas were becoming a liability, they still get fired in practice and the frames and slides have lifespans.
>>61465434They're unlikely to actually be used by anyone but MPs, who get hollow points.
>>61465457That doesn't make it any better, to know that your gun can't eat nigh everything it's fed. I don't like Glocks but even they did better than the P320 in that measure. Talk about picky
Forward assist bros....
>>61465028Are you retarded? Yes you are.
>>61465439>barely cheaper than the M17What price does sig sell them on the civilian market? Now what about hipoint?
>>61465120Right, it's the recoil and weight, both of which are vastly improved with the RM338.You really must be retarded, I'm sorry for making fun of you anon.
>>61442681>Boeing guy was suicidal, his direct family said soFirst time?
>>61441549>claiming that Sig conducted corporate espionage to obtain design data used to compete in the NGSW programbollocks they are just after settlement gibs like the rancid bullshit powered coin seekers they are
>>61459438>>61459281Yeah the made round that *supposedly* solves problems and then that round weapons systems spectacularly failed trials. RFLMAO.

>>61466903Have you seen the rifle (or the pistol from the same company) that won? it's pure corruption.
>>61467180>mostly generic piston ARYeah, its what I expected to win.
>>61467180>Have you seen the rifle (or the pistol from the same company) that won? it's pure corruption.Probably is.Regarding Textron, don't know if they had problems with the CT ammo, could also be the rifle/mg, but for some reason their bid was dropped quietly, and only SIG and True Velocity remained. It was the sales guy from LMT that dropped the ball by mistake during one of their Q&A on their youtube channel, said that Textron (which they partnered with, LMT bringing their suppressor) wasn't part of the NGSW trial anymore, video was quickly deleted.
>>61453901>You just want a spacegat memepupYes. If GD's entry was exactly the same except as a pullbup, I would have shilled for it every day. I even would have given the Sig a fair shake if it did the same. The balance inherent to bullpup configuration is such a massive benefit for a fighting gun that I can not stress it enough. Conventional designs only make sense to me for guns designed to be fired from a bipod.
>>61467689>If GD's entry was exactly the same except as a pullbupWoops, meant Textron.
>>61467392>don't know if they had problems, but for some reason their bid was dropped quietlyGD dropped out right about the same time. TV was just GD's ammo development partner prior to that, they demanded all the rights to the gun and kept trying to force it through. Makes you wonder what GD and Textron knew. Either they heard that the contract was going to Sig regardless of performance, or they caught wind of Sig's bid and realized it was like the MHS where Sig bid half of what everyone else needed to make a profit.
>>61457051Its not just the zogbot replacing bullpup
>>61458005Damn, that looks like it would be about 200 round capacity if it were
>>61457148>what happens when you accidentally close the action on your handThe same thing that has happened for over a hundred years, it hurts and you learn not to do that again. Is this really your argument?

>>61470953It had a spring loaded rod to clear the chamber. No reason to stick your digits in there.

>>61471057On the bottom of the handguard. It had a folding handle that fit into a depression so it didn't get caught on shit.
fuck this shit. M4s on Mars!
>>61466669>Are you retarded? Yes you are.When, have you ever, walked and shot a heavy machine gun? lmao.
>>61471530...you're retarded for not understanding that less recoil is ALWAYS better, it doesn't matter if you're not going to be walking and shooting with it, even if you're laying down with a bipod, less recoil IS ALWAYS better. Even vehicle-mounted, less recoil is going to be better.Not to mention lighter weight on top of it. Which again, assuming you're not sacrificing anything, is ALWAYS better.
>>61471562kek, noguns faggot detected.
>>61467963>Wikipedia: MHS>"Once down-selected, the two finalists are supposed to undergo a second phase of Production Verification Testing (PVT) which includes a 22,500-round endurance test as well as environmental testing. However, the XM17 contract was awarded to SIG Sauer before these tests could be carried out. Explicit reasoning for this is unknown, although it has been attributed in-part to SIG Sauer aggressively underbidding their cost per handgun.">"In January 2018, the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation published its report on the testing of the XM17, which highlighted some deficiencies. Notably, the weapon initially performed poorly in drop tests, causing a discharge when dropped; this issue was fixed by replacing the trigger group with components lighter in weight. Additionally, the weapon performed poorly with ball ammunition, causing several double ejections (ejecting a live round simultaneously with the spent casing of the round just fired) and stoppages. "Just wow. SIG must have done their own tests during development. That means they would have known their design wouldn't pass reliability testing.That phase mysteriously disappears, and then SIG has all the time in the world to polish their turd.Taxpayer dollars hard at work.>>61471530Dude it weighs 11 kg. That's less than an M240B. It's not a 'heavy' machine gun, it's a long-range medium machine gun. Its primary role is bipod use. Ma Deuce isn't going anywhere.

is the NGSW for squirrel shit?cuz that's the only that would make sense, NGSW for regular infantry just seems so bizarre.
>>61472464.338 Norma Magnum has comparable downrange energy to 12.7x108. It's not a replacement for .50 BMG by any means, but it's closer to a kord than a PKM.
>>61441549>>61441752>early Sig CEO life historyJustice be done.
>>61441549The recoil averaging tech sounds like a system where after your boot is locked and fires, the bolt carrier group recoils forward i dependently of the bolt unlocking.Basically, bolt moves back, carrier moves forward, canceling most of the recoil.That said, Sigs MG 338 uses a long recoil barrel system which in theory could be bootstrapped to something like this, but thats a hard patent to defend because TV would essentially be claiming they own the patent to a reciprocation bolt carrier group.The claims they discovered Sig stole data is a huge McFucking prove it dipshits, moment, because I could find absolutely nothing hinting to this.Considering True Velocity is looking to go public after purchasing all its shares back, the whole thing stinks. Maybe not of sour grapes, but someone, somewhere is looking to make a dollar.
>>61472674>carrier moves forward, canceling most of the recoilThis guy didn't pass physics.
>>61472713From a car going 20 mph, throw a ball in the opposite direction of travel away from the car, at 20 mph. See what happens.Inertia is relative, retard. Someone didn't pass physics.
>>61472523Is that what's happening here? You thought you were looking at an American Kord? Just admit you weren't thinking.The RM338 is lighter than an M240B, lighter than an MG 3, and comparable in weight to an M60. As the LWMMG, it was specifically designed to enable infantry to 'overmatch' 7.62x54R in environments like Afghanistan.The Kord is 25.5 kg, nearly 2 metres long, and is the official vehicle-mounted / coax HMG of the Russian Federation.The empty case alone of 12.7x108mm is 67 g.The entire .338 NM cartridge is 45 g.No-one can take you seriously if you say that the RM338 is a 'heavy' machine gun and group it with the Kord, over the M60, MG 3, M240B, and PKM.
>>61472674>the bolt carrier group recoils forward i dependently of the bolt unlocking.I really cannot understand what you are trying to say, but the action was shown clearly in this post: >>61453979Replace the rear spring with a block of steel, and it's just a conventional gas-operated rotary-locking action.
>>61472674The Russians did something like you said. Having a weight with a synchronizing gear running forwards as the bolt+carrier moves rearwards. Does work, but ultimately can only reasonably counteract the recoil of the bolt carrier itself, rather than the bolt carrier and cartridge recoil.
>>61472791An M249 with 40kg of ballast bolted to it isn't an HMG. The classification is about the power of the cartridge, not the mass of the weapon. 12.7x108 has almost double the power of .338 NM at the muzzle, but a less aerodynamic bullet that doesnt maintain energy as well over long distances. .338 NM has double the energy of .308 or 54r at the muzzle, AND it maintains it much better downrange. The intent was to bridge the gap between an MMG and HMG, and that's what it does. It's still not comparable to .50 BMG, which has half again as much power as 12.7x108 and almost 3x as much as .338 NM, but it's way more powerful than any existing MMG.
>>61472880The development program literally had MMG in the name. LWMMG. Not LWHMG. That was the intent. You are grasping at straws to save face.Also, stop mixing up energy and power, they're not the same thing.

>>61448898The request for the 6.8 to be the standard infantry rifle round is retarded, however, if you want those numbers the bullpup was the most logical way to get there. Would make a fine DMR if they tuned it for accuracy or something. I’m not against changing up 5.56, but it should be a .300 BLK style round that increases energy at the cost of range. But as I said, for what was wanted the bullpup did the job

Either parts or parts of parts or the machines that made the parts or parts of machines that make parts of parts come from China or somewhere else. Same thing with optics.
>>61473229>Would make a fine DMR if they tuned it for accuracy or somethingShould we tell him?
>>61441549is ngsw pronounced like the saw villain's name if he was black?
>>61441749will tv ammo run through old Brs? or will they just rip apart the casings
>>61473830TV says you can run their .308 and .223 ammmo just like anything else in those calibers you buy off the shelf.
>>61473229>I’m not against changing up 5.56, but it should be a .300 BLK style round that increases energy at the cost of range. But as I said, for what was wanted the bullpup did the jobI thought the /k/ hivemind said 6.8mm SPC was awful, when it does just what you said. Only reason to ever use .300 Blackout is if you're going to be using subsonic ammo from suppressed weapons. Not worth it for typical infantry.
>>61473852It is. They should have gone with a cartridge that increases both energy and range at the same time. 6mm ARC would be perfect, would just need to beef up the bolt a little compared to the standard AR.
>>61473852Supersonic loads are roughly comparable to 7.62x39. Although obsolete, 7.62x39 does have less deflection through brush than conventional rounds (5.56/5.45), which is why Spetsnaz reportedly retains AKMs for jungle warfare.It's a stretch, but something like .300 BLK isn't completely out of the question as a general-purpose rifle cartridge. It would need a customer with unusual doctrine. Maybe an emphasis on urban, jungle, and night operations? With higher-calibre DMs for 300m+?For comparison, .45 ACP remains popular with USSOCOM, despite being militarily 'obsolete'. .300 BLK + .45 ACP is an interesting combination to think about.
>>61473892>6mm ARC would be perfect, would just need to beef up the bolt a little compared to the standard AR.New hotness is the 6mm MAXAllegedly no need to beef up the bolt, and doesn't have the problems of the arc.Actually if what is advertised true, looks pretty good as an infantry round
>>61472674Retard wrong on ALL accounts
>>61474092Sounds like low pressure cringe shit to me.
>>61448898Army has a hate boner for beretta.They got a new pistol to spite berettaThey rejected the 277 because the slated manufacturer would have been beretta.Also some sig bribes and sig swapping out the ammo when no one was looking in the trials helped smooth things out a bit.
>>61473289Nope, it's all made in the US. That's a requirments of US military procurement contracts.
>>61473289The company making the optic had to open up an entirely new US based assembly line and source optics from a US company instead of their usual Chinese manufacturing facility and suppliers.So yeah, good job showing you have no idea what you're talking about though, it is funny if nothing else.
>>61459031You're proud of living in some irrelevant third-world country? Sick comeback I guess
>>61474092That looks like absolute garbage. Literally just necked up .223 without the taper. No room for high BC bullets, no additional case capacity, low pressure limit because with a long case and no taper it wouldn't extract at 62k. It's just a worse 6.8 SPC. There is no reason to use this piece of shit over M855A1.
>>61473149>unironically using specs for dogshit ammo
>>61476517>Literally just necked up .223 without the taper>no additional case capacityRemoving the taper adds capacity, so the second part would be wrong even if the first part was correct.Moreover, the body diameter is increased to .390 (based on .350 Legend) -- you can see it's rebated if you just look at the picture. Which further increases capacity.>low pressure limitExactly the same as its parent .350 Legend and grandparent .223.Also essentially the same as 5.56 when measured the same way (conformal transducer); the commonly cited 62k max comes from a different testing method.Moreover, milspec 5.56 ammo has to meet velocity and port pressure limits that make the max pressure largely irrelevant, no matter which method is used.>because with a long case and no taper it wouldn't extract at 62kNo.
>>61477431>CopeExplain why it's better than 6.8 SPC.
you fags know that most "reviewers" used the low power training ammo and not the real deal, right?
>>61477641There's barely even a difference at this point, the pressure of the "full power" ammo was reduced to 70 ksi.
>>61477692source?
>>61458938>So innovative it even fires by itself!ITP: LIES
>>61477698There was an interview with a Sig rep on YouTube someone posted a week or two ago, he confirmed that they reduced the pressure for better accuracy. Check the archives.
>>61464119>I hope this finally makes SIG crash and burnYour nigger-tier glock will always be the poor mans choice
>>61477589>Explain why it's better than 6.8 SPC.Not the same reasoning behind the 2. 6.8 SPC is basically an american 7.62x39. Althought for whatever retarded reason it was developped with the mk12.6 MAX is just trying to address the problems with 6 ARC (bolt, longevity, large case...). It's also designed for longer range, can shoot out to 1000y. And it's still pretty good even with shorter barrels. Around 3100fps out of a 10.5 barrel with 55gr, around 2900fps with 62gr. Still low recoil (lower than 6arc, bit more than 5.56).
>>61473669I mean if the gun were built around being a DMR it would have been better. But now it has all these downsides that handicap the DMR role at the price of the infantry rifle requirements
>>614777846 max fixes the "problems" with the 6 arc, but it "fixes" the advantages, too. You now have a case with less capacity than 6.8 SPC (35gr vs 37gr), lower pressure limit (55 ksi vs 58 ksi) and without the ability load VLD bullets to magazine length like a proper long range cartridge like 6mm ARC, .224 Valkyrie, etc. It's nothing but a scam to get tacticool /arg/ fags to buy new barrels.
>>61477883The Army doesn't need a new DMR, though. If they did they would have just gotten something chambered in .308 instead of requesting companies to develop cartridges that can replicate .308 performance from a carbine-length barrel.

>>61441752>poach longtime senior designer to spill the beans on techYea, this is obvious IP theft, and it happens all the time in corporate America now.Sig did this knowing full well they were going to steal and implement the designer's IP which is technically/legally IP of GD because of their work contracts. Sig knows they will get a monetary slap on the wrist, pay a settlement years later that they will fight tooth and nail in court, and eventually they will more or less get away with it because they're part of the MIC insider club now.This is why bureaucracy ruins everything. Quality doesn't get selected. Laws don't get upheld. It's just "who you know" that is getting shit barely passing the grade now. This is why Sig is hated on, they joined in on the corruption.
>>61477784>6.8 SPC is basically an american 7.62x39.pretty much what the designer said himself, he wanted x39 in the first place, but US Gov is full of retards who can't get around emotional nonsense that precludes them from even considering adopting something "soviet">Althought for whatever retarded reason it was developped with the mk12.I don't remember the reason for this, but maybe budget, or wanting to ship two things in one package, a new round and a new DMR at the time
>>61478757>I don't remember the reason for thisHe's often in the livestream on the Tactical Rifleman channel, and did one where he pretty much explain the whole story of the 6.8, was pretty interesting. And yeah, it was pretty much we want x39, but we can't, so we'll make our own...It was livetream #100 if i remember right but i can never find it.
>>61478890>It was livetream #100 if i remember rightLooks like there's only 83, so that probably isn't right.
>>61478757>>61478890From here it looks like what happened was that the SCAR was originally developed to give them the ability to field rifles chambered for either 5.56x45 or 7.62x39, but when that was cancelled they had to develop a new cartridge that could give them the performance they wanted with a bolt face small enough to fit the M4.http://demigodllc.com/articles/6.8-mm-spc-cartridge-history-development-hornady-stag-arms-carbine/
>>61479012>Looks like there's only 83, so that probably isn't right.Pretty sure it was #100https://www.instagram.com/tactical_rifleman/p/CTQUprOLTz2/?img_index=1But they started from #1 at some point, and some deidcated livetream channel... Maybe some older episode were deleted. I don't know, but can never find it when looking for it. It's still up i think, watched it again not long ago after i found a direct link to the episode on some random forum.
>>61479102>It's still up i think, watched it again not long ago after i found a direct link to the episode on some random forum.Guess the video is unlisted. WHen checking the playlist, there's one for livestream with 124 videos, with a mention "120 unavailable videos are hidden"...That's why i couldn't find it, if you don't have a direct link, it won't show in the search
>>61477726What the hell am I going to look for in the archives to find something like that?
>>61479360I found it in about 30 seconds searching for "sig 70k." You really should learn how to search for things, it's a very important skill in modern life.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmaLnMg6dSw&t=1085s
