So rumor has it Textron has dropped out of the NGSW trials, leaving Sig and True Velocity the final two competing to replace 5.56, the M4, and M249.

Sig is supposedly in the lead with their MCX-SPEAR.

I want a SPEAR so fucking bad.  

It's the only one of the NGSW that actually looks like it was designed by someone who has fired a rifle before.

Heard this a while ago.

I've also heard rumors that the SIG is horrifically inaccurate, and that their weight reduction claims are basically willful bullshit (they are comparing their new round to some .338 round not anything the rifle would actually replace). But then I've not seen any confirmation of those things.

Hopefully the LSAT keeps going and keeps that ammo tech alive. The Textron LMG looked like it was basically the LSAT, but their rifle was wacky. The bullpup rifle and automatic rifle lok like shit but the True Velocity ammo is neat and should be applied to existing ammo if it ends up working as claimed. The SIG rifle and LMG look pretty darn good for their niche roles.

None of them are remotely appropriate to replace the M16/M4. Replacing the M240 and/or M249 makes sense though. The SIG LMG (which is compatible with .308 with a barrel swap) is light enough to deserve a closer look on it's own alongside the LSAT, assuming it works well.

The inaccurate one, I believe, is the Textron.  They were having problems with the telescoping ammo and the jump to the lands.  Just rumor mill that I read somewhere on the internets-supposedly a guy from the Army shooting team or something.  The SPEAR's origination was in the CSASS, so I wouldn't think it would have accuracy problems.

They aren't replacing the M4, at least not yet.

The point is to meet near peer forces who are wearing lvl4 equivalent armor for small units, like SOF.

Eventually this could expand to a larger portion of the military if its successful and the expected threat requires it.  As both China and Russia are now greatly expanding the use of armor, its a given that something that can penetrate them is going to be sought.

Yup.

KAC’s assault LMG should’ve been the answer to replacing the M249, possibly even the M4A1, in some units. Definitely would’ve been a better fit for the IAR role than the H&K 416.

WTF is up with the LSAT, anyway? I remember seeing footage of the CT LMG Firing, reports said it was like a goddamn laser with the recoil of a 22. Nothing really beats the M4 in a carbine role, being light, accurate, inexpensive, and modular, but there’s more than a dozen MG’s that are objectively superior to the M249 in every way that matters.

good. Sig makes great guns and there are lots of improvements on deck over the M4.  just as long as they don’t choose that dumpster fire of a rifle from General Dynamics

Also can’t wait for Colt to try to weasel in to that government tit again.

The Textron actually seemed like it could be good with the longevity as the chamber is not attached to the barrel, and the polymer case acts as an insulator.  

But the radical cartridge and action design were unlikely to be chosen anyways.

Their MG's use reciprocating barrels, so they sacrifice accuracy to lower recoil.

Aside from the usual graft, there is actually an interest in some quarters for increasing performance against hard body armor.    Most of it on the decision-making end has to do with defeating our armor.

I have more faith that these won't be plagued as much by traditional (recent) SIG-isms, and that anything that do pop up can be fixed with .mil money.

Curious if you have hands-on experience, because I want one badly.

I fucking love my MCX.  Yeah, it's heavier than my ultra-lightweight ARs.  Still don't care.  I've trained with it and taken classes with it and attended the MCX armorer's course.  The MCX has become the most relevant non-AR rifle around, unless you're in a Godforsaken communist country.

There is a good chance of the NGSW program becoming another SPIW or ACR, ie an expensive S&T project.


SOCOM is already exploring other options (6.5CM) to achieve the desired effects and ballistics. If you read the open source briefs, you can see where they are headed and what they believe will succeed (ie not 6.8).



There are also several other vendors working on projects using more conventional ammunition designs and/or cartridges that have the DODs eye right now. That combined with some interesting developments in legacy ammunition capabilities creates a situation in which we may see no procurement off of NGSW.


Id imagine this is what those working on SPIW in the 60s felt like when 601/XM16 was adopted as the "interim solution".

The old laser accurate LSAT was a 6.5, right? I wonder if this new magic armor penetrating 6.8 projectile has an ogive that just isn't compatible with a CT round.

I don't know about the M4 being the end-all carbine, but I do think 224cal is just about ideal. IMO, they should have come up with something that has the shape and external ballisitics of the 75gr amax/eldm, but with an AP core, and then designed a cartridge around that. With more pressure from the sig ammo design, or more volume with CT, you could probably get an M4 sized gun shooting accurately to 1km while retaining the advantages of light compact ammunition..

No it was 5.56 and designed to duplicate 5.56 NATO ballistics. If you watch the old LSAT videos it was both accurate and low recoil.

The cased telescoped ammo and that LSAT belt fed tilting chamber are the only really cool and new things I have seen recently and it sounds like they are done.

Polymer casings have already shown a good deal of improvement in heat transfer.  Both the Textron and General Dynamics entry are using plastic cased cartridges.  Sig went ultra lame and just added some steel to the bottom of a brass case.  The Sig entry is by far the most boring of all of them.  That probably makes it the most likely to win, but it's still boring AF.  Textron had the most out of the box gun, and General Dynamics is half way between the two of them.  I personally hope GD wins.

The 3-part case is boring if 80k psi is boring. Boring if making the 6.5 Jesusmoor it's bitch. I'm not excited about the cartridge at all, but a lot of it (6.8 diameter) was set by the Army, IIRC.

Another waste. We need to constantly keep innovating, but right now, pulling the trigger and making lead spit out at high velocity is about the extent of it no matter how you slice it.

IMO, gun companies should be doing this on their own and then coming to the military and saying "look what we can do now!"

Every other gun I sort of roll my eyes at. They seem like they were designed by some 9 year old that only plays call of duty.
Spear seems awesome. Lots of small tweaks to make it 'right' too. Stuff like the left side charging handle staying in the locked position so it doesn't snag on gear and pull the bolt OOB.
