>obsoletes your mk18at this rate are we going to see a 5" m7? maybe a 18"? shieeeeet. Siggas really putting in dah werk.
>>64291431Oh look, the magic scope is gone. How about that?I wonder what happened?
>>64291434hey, leave magic scope alone
>>642914315 years from now it will be even less used than scar 16 and 17
>>64291431I still can't believe this piece of shit hasn't landed anyone in jail on corruption charges yet
>>64291464OP is bad and should feel bad
>>64291431Wow it's like a .308 rifle but with a slightly smaller magwell. Shut up and take my money
>army forced to shorten the barrel because the rifle is too fucking heavy>siggers try to spin this as a positive
>>64291519The magwell is exactly the same size, it's just the barrel length and bore that are smaller.
>>64291464Can we bump it up to treason? Make the first and last act of service for the M7 a firing squad.
>>64291431>short barrel 6.7 imagine the concussive force
>>64291434Magic scope was the only cool thing about the project other than the 1800s steel case neck and washer.I personally don't get the hate for it we needed a cartridge with better bc. It's a bad ass gpmg round.
>>64291431>16 inch m4a2 with 77 grain bullet this is the most logical choice and that's why the army won't make it
>>64291464>>64291543
>>64291464>>64291543>>64291704True technological justice would be served by having the top post-2008 SIG corporate leadership shot by M7s and then the entire remaining tooling/software tossed into a volcano.
>>64291704Every. Single. Time.
>>64291522>>64291431I want Trump to ditch the sig to bring back the XM8 program because it looks cool.
>>64291857I'm still unclear on what exactly the XM8 was supposed to do better than the M4. I mean yeah, the guts were the gun half of the OICW, which was cool and all, but why did the XM8 continue being developed after they had committed to keeping the parts separate?
>>64291564>It's a bad ass gpmg round.Really makes you wonder why it's not going in a GPMG.
>>64291870because the braindead boomers in charge want to use 338 as a new gpmg round
Reminder USSOCOM chose an LMT 14.5 6.5CM rifle instead of this shit
>>64291902why did they buy 6mm arc then? i swear socom has too much money
>>64291431I'd love to read the results of the NGSW program. How awful were all the other entries that this was the least bad option?
>>64291902Nice
>>64291916The Army specifically didn't test any of them against the M4 because they knew it would make them look bad, and all of the other manufacturers other than Sig dropped out before the competition. Then TV bought out the GD gun and demanded that the Army go ahead with competition, which they lost because their gun was a worse piece of shit than the Sig.
>>64291861it was more reliable in certain tests that simulated conditions that will never be relevant in combat
>>64291916Desert Tech thought they had a chanceFN showed up with an updated SCARKAC wanted a Royal Marines contract insteadGeissele, LMT and Larue were busy with USSOCOM and the MRGG-A and SThe rest of the Big Boys didn't careA bullpup was nearly selectedThat's how much of a shitshow it was
>>64291953>FN showed up with an updated SCARiirc IWS wasn't a part of the NGSW
>>64291861It could shoot 1 MOA in sub zero temperatures. Which is apparently the most important thing in battle while you're still trying to make the proprietary optic work before the sucking chest wound from a 70 year old AK kills you.
>>64291965It wasn't the IWS, they entered the HAMR and Evolys.
>>64291902USSOCOM also chose the SCAR, how did that fare anon? Siggers will get the last laugh, just like Colt.
>>64292170The SCAR-H? Pretty well for the time. Still the best 308 rifle on the market
>>64291916Aero paired up with Cobalt Kinetics and submitted a disgusting AR10. POF had a developmental bullpup but haven't heard anything since frank got assassinated.
>>64291902Did they? Geisselle won the MRGG trial, the MRGG is presumably replacing the Seekins rifles and the LICC is its own thing entirely. When did they buy LMTs?
>>64292829They won the MRGG-S, I have heard nothing of them making the MRGG-A
