No fear gents, these are weapons for deployable infantry and SOCOM bubbas. Not a one for one replacement for M4A1, SAW, M240 across the force.

I want an MCX/XM5  I'll wait and see how much the ammo costs. It looks like a more complicated round to manufacture so it might never be cheap |

They had to design a new casing because the thing is SUPER high pressure. It'll be interesting to see long term wear in these and how they turn out. The new casing design might be interesting if you can use it on 5.56 and see what kind of results you get from that.

Dumb question: will this shoot "standard" commercial 6.8 Rem Spc? Or did all that go out the window with the special case?

Army has renamed the NGSW as "XM7".
