what does it do that the SCAR-H couldn't do, that was worth designing a while new gun and not a better projectile for a cartridge we make millions of every year and which already have supply chains and low cost of production in place because of said supply chains, volume production, and large government contracts?

How many could do it with crew served weapons before fire control systems did the aiming for them? That's where the NGSW optic comes in. It brings the aiming efficacy of a tank's FCS and shrinks it into something that fits on a rifle. With this thing, any grunt becomes a top tier marksman.

Not beat its optics to death, weigh less, fire very high pressure ammo.

>>65366741
Just the VLD design alone means it retains energy far better than 7.62x51, but you already knew that and are hoping others are ignorant.
>>
>>65366790
M1186 is also an EPR, not an AP.
>>
>>65367186
Cope. M855A1 is an EPR and pierces a variety of basic Level III plates. There are two major kinds of 6.8, M1186 and then the actual tungsten M1184 which basically performs like 7.62x51 M1158.
>>65367182
And it's down on core mass versus 7.62x51 which matters if you're trying to engage high-level ceramics.

Oh its the anon who fixates on ~10gr of core mass because in all other variables 7.62x51 loses badly.
>>
>>65367315
M193 pierces steel Level III but not PE
M855 pierces PE Level III but not steel
M855A1 does both and requires a robust ceramic "III+" like the Hesco 3411 or LTC 19513. All of those plates fall under III.
>>
>>65367318
That makes more of a difference than you'd think. 7N37 is a lot slower than M993 but trashes it in AP. Why? Core mass.

lmao you just did it again by comparing two 7.62 cartridges while ignoring one being a much hotter loading
>>
>>65367365
>much hotter
Heavier and lower velocity homes. Pressure is comparable. Retained velocity doesn't matter as much if the penetrator is that much larger. 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC get their ass kicked by 7.62x51mm in AP even if you give them a penetrator advantage.
>>
>>65367383
Okay I guess I have to dumb this down for you.

If you took two M993 cartridges and waved a magic wand so that the projectile in one was swapped with a 7N37's projectile, then fired both cartridges out of the same gun, the M993 cartridge with the 7N37 would have a much lower velocity than a proper 7N37 cartridge.

Conversely if you did the opposite where you took two 7N37 cartridges and swapped one's projectile with an M993 projectile it would have a much greater velocity than a proper M993 cartridge.

Do you understand why?
>>
>>65367449
To add, an M993 projectile is 128gr while an 7N37 projectile is 188gr. An M1186 projectile is 120gr.

We also have not addressed sectional density.
>>
>>65367449
>Man tries to use semantical tricks
Yes it's called pressure and it's comparable because they use different propellants. Next cope.
>>65367460
Core mass matters if the strike face isn't beefy enought to break a 10gr larger core up. Plates are not made with a lot of safety margin.
>muh sectional density
Swiss P AP and 7N37 have similar sectional density but 7N37 has a larger core. 7N37 trumps.
>>
>>65367485
>it's called pressure and it's comparable because they use different propellants

Except its not comparable because 7N37 is not nearly as slow as it would be if they were, I guess I am not smart enough to be able to translate this into retard.
>>
>>65367519
And the 7N37 would probably still beat the M993.
I get Cohen is paying you but you're tripping over yourself. Core mass > muh external ballistics cope because 6.8 won't pierce armor worth a fuck.

I am impressed anon, you don't understand why 7N37's velocity is higher than it would be if all variables with M993 besides the projectile were equal.

>>65367534
What about this rifle would wind up being good? To anyone who actually shoots, particularly at longer ranges, it makes no sense.

>>65367584
Nope. 7N37 has a projectile mass of 188gr and a core mass of 112gr. Swiss P AP is 196gr projectile and 86gr core mass.
Look at Buffman's second Adept Colossus video and you'll see 7N37 defeat a plate tested to stop Swiss P AP cold four times.

>>
>>65367626
What a strange question to ask. It should be obvious that things like BC, velocity and actual shooter capability are what matters in distance shooting. Do you think a LPVO turns a grunt into a marksman? Or that open terrain with long lines of sight are the norm? Shooting long range has a lot going on, and nothing the rifle is offering so far seems to make it suited for such a role, especially when that role is to be filled by the main service rifle, which is a whole other topic of discussion.

>>
>>65366769
These things break extremely easily and newer pics of the M7/M8 always have them with older style optics now as a result. Furthermore, giving every soldier an optic that shoots a laser out to rangefind is a great way to get blown up by glorious shining golden dragon wind era of the screaming soldier monkey chinkoid missile divisions, since these rifles are supposedly designed for "near peer" conflicts it's extra stupid

I haven't really kept up with the discourse around this new rifle and round but I heard worries about body armor like 15 years ago and had some thoughts about it back then.
Basically my solution was to design a simple, reliable 7.62x51mm bullpup battle rifle. I was thinking about a 20" barrel, around 35" long, select fire or 3 round burst capable, 9-10lbs loaded, attach points for optics and a grenade launcher and a reasonable price tag, like around two or three thousand a unit. They build like 100,000 of them and then just store most of them, in cosmoline or whatever else will keep them fresh for 50 years and continue on like they don't exist.
No one smart wants to get rid of 5.56mm, its cheap, its light weight and soldiers can carry a lot of it. So if the boogyman situation of a war against an opponent with lots of body armor does happen, the rifles for your front line infantry who would need them most are there, ready and waiting. At a few thousand a rifle, 100k of them costs 1/3rd the price of a single Stealth Bomber, it would not be a huge investment(unless there is a ton of graft and red tape) for a nation like the US.
At least that was my solution. Have the more powerful rifles ready without messing up the current system or breaking the bank. I always thought it was weird they didn't already do this.
>>65367055

I suspected if was big disinfo campaigns, primarily paid for by Russian. The Russians knew that they'd have to replace their entire air force to stand a chance and they couldn't / can't afford that. They were correct in that assessment since their stealth fleet is basically nonexistent, right now Russia's air force has no way to fight the F-35.
I don't think the Chinese mind as much. Unlike Russia they can build things at scale so this F-35 is just something to study and try and copy. Even if they do a half ass job it still puts them head and shoulders above their regional rivals, India and Russia.

Well yeah, the NGSW optic could go on a 5.56mm rifle, but what's the point? It's not like 5.56mm is any good past 300m. 500m is the upper limit for consistent hits on man sized targets with military ammo, no matter how well someone aims.

This is delusional MiC think. Russia is never going to go to war directly with the US. The US just wasted trillions on a boondoggle plane because they're a corrupt oligarchy
>>
>>65367534
To be fair the F-35 wasn't always perfect and even today has sustainment issues or the radar supply chain problems. It's perfectly reasonable to criticize a program instead of writing blank checks. And even then major concerns weren't so much the concept of a JSF or the capabilities but it's actual cost.

With this thing the actual capabilities are super questionable. From weight, volume of fire carried or the meme conditions of sightlines and targets exposing their body armor to fire that only work on a flat range in decent weather. Or the penetration testing with CMUs that are not representative of building codes anywhere in the world.

Not a single NGSW-shill has addressed these issues in a credible way.

M1184 has a lot of catching up to do. The M1158 stockpile is likely into the seven digits at this point, which isn't a lot but if issued strategically can be of some use.
They are just much better at controlling stuff these days, same reason why the "surplus" ESAPI market is dried up versus 2011.

As it were we know exactly how much M1158 was ordered. Note that this is in all forms from single rounds to belts (the latter being the majority of what was ordered).

It has also been out of production for a few years.
>>
>>65371692
And how much M1184?
>>
>>65371701
If you count the FY2027 request then about ~800k, keeping in mind it was first ordered in FY2026 and it has not been type classified yet so it isn't in full rate production.
>>
>>65371692
>It has also been out of production for a few years.

Had to check past year budget requests, the last time it was ordered was FY2023.

Also the majority of what was ordered was linked for belt feds.

So still a long way to go, but more than I thought. I'll admit that. We'll need a better AP round to handle the next gen of Chinese plates.
>>
>>65371682 absolutely. It's just funny that the NGSW shills are arguing on Sprey's level. In the same way Sprey ignored the existence of the radio spectrum so he didn't need a radar, the NGSW crowd ignores the existence of sightlines, building codes or inclement weather. After all if gun fires long range it must be gooder.
