Army's new machine gun will blast like battle tanks | Fox News

Now there is something with a real kick.

Woof, that is some terrible reporting.

Did the IN DNR design this, 60 rnds per minute?

7.62 < 120. It will not "blast like an M1 Abrams". Geeeesh,

I saw the headline reading the news yesterday morning and just passed it over as another example of fantastic reporting...

 

[cmamath13]

Nice!

Tru dat.

7.62 < 120. It will not "blast like an M1 Abrams". Geeeesh,

Weirdly, they were equating "blast like an M1 Abrams" with having similar chamber pressure...without talking about caliber, bullet weight or velocity.

Oof.

 

[BigRed]

Woof, that is some terrible reporting.

That's an understatement!

The stupid runs deep.

Re-write!

So, some General wants a caseless 6.5mm in a SAW/LMG config and it completely confuses the Media?

Great, let's see how far that goes.

Allison Barrie is a defense specialist with experience in more than 70 countries who consults at the highest levels of defense and national security, a lawyer with four postgraduate degrees, and author of the definitive guide, Future Weapons: Access Granted, on sale in 30 countries.

There's your problem. Too educated to know anything.

 

[HoughMade]

I don't trust anyone with more than 2 postgraduate degrees.

"Where is this guy's SGM? Somebody get the Smaaaaage!...
...This is why generals aren't allowed to walk around without a SGM present."

Perhaps you should try listening to the cop on full semi-automatic?

 

[Leadeye]

Meh, I'll still take the MG-42.
