Army chooses Sig Sauer to build its Next Generation Squad Weapon

[gll]

Seems like whether it's Sig and/or Lake City producing the Army's ammo new ammo, a lot of capacity (and primers) will be required to fulfill the Army's ammo stockpile requirements.

That wouldn't be so bad if it meant surplus 5.56 and 7.62 were released to the surplus market, but that doesn't seem likely in the current climate... So, this new ammo production probably just reduces civilian supply more...; not as if that will matter much if the U.S. goes to war.

Buying probably won't get any better than it is right now...

If no ones said it already... the forever war needs constant funding. just another scam to feed the war profiteers. and a way to keep milspec grade weapons and ammo out of freedom's hands. Do ya'll see the combloc replacing 47s anytime soon? SSDD...

I'm sure they're going to love the extra weight and less ammo.

Are they French?!?

p.s. Just joking, I worked with some excellent French military members while with NATO!

Just watch and see how many FK ups they have not having the new ammo for them in the field, they will have the norm and not the new. I guess it's heavy enough to use as a club.
