 Next Generation Squad Weapon: Automatic Rifle | Shooting, Field Strip, and Performance | Textron From the video: This video, we are going to dig a little deeper into the Automatic Rifle (replacement for the SAW). This puppy is lighter than the current SAW, is select-fire, and hits with more energy than a M240 with this new 6.8 ammo. |

Will they sell a semi-auto version to the public? FNH sells a semi auto SAW, it's like $8,000+ or so, but they sell it.

no barrel change? how hot is that bad boy going to get at a sustained rate of fire? can a person link belts together? I noticed the ejection port for the brass was close to a the dude's hand when firing in off hand position. a person with large hand would have to be careful or they will create a stoppage.

It doesn’t eject brass, but it does eject spent plastic casings, and plastic is an insulator, so chamber temps build up slower and the cartridges are much cooler when freshly ejected. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: plastic is an insulator, so chamber temps build up slower I find this line of reasoning hard to believe. A brass case gets yanked out so fast it is practically adiabatic. Plus, what heats the brass case to begin with; combustion of smokeless powder! That same combustion goes the entire length of the barrel. But what do I know? |

The heat isolation is a neat trick that makes it rather cook-off-proof. Ejection location is still retarded, though, and *will* cause problems in practice. |

Quote HistoryUgly Frankenstein-gun Designed for water-cooled then scrapped later on to make it lighter and less maintenance. Known that cook-offs were common. If I had one I'd sell it, and buy something else. It is dangerous. |
