New Army Rifles Rolling Out

[patience0830]

I stated before that SIG markets to the Army like they are personal firearms manufactures.

This is what I witnessed.
1. Free internet provided by SIG at Ft Benning CONUS replacement.

2. Goody bag provided by SIG before you get on plane.

3. Steak dinner in Afghanistan provided by SIG.

4. Buffet provide by SIG upon return to Ft Benning.

Not what you know but who you pay.

Me neither, Kirk.

Never maxed the run when I was in. I could learn Russian but was not ever gonna be fast..

I am told that people who know Russian are suspect, and just not on INGO.

FULL DISCLAIMER: This is here because it is a good song, I SWEAR, IT IS!

Yup. Sig wins every contract because they schmooze harder than anyone else. This is the reality of arms procurement in the United States.

I can personally verify that the contractor who served the worst lunch among the three competitors won the contract to provide one hell of a bunch of anti-jam GPS aircraft antennas to the department of defense.

Seems like a turd…

I really don’t see what this does that 308 didn’t already do, plus we already have a lot of it. Maybe generate more money for a defense contractor?

It’s all a scam perpetrated by the same Military Industrial Complex Dwight D. Eisenhower warned the country at time of his presidency. Too bad the current idiots that run the Pentagon have not heeded this well educated warning.

I thought we were supposed to be getting a more inclusive, feminine army. How does only issuing gigantic battle rifles that kick like mules fit into that?

Well for one thing... a good chuck of females these days... have a penis.
Them "ladies" should be able to hump a heavier weapon.


I'd like to know more about that scope with what amounts to a built in ballistic computer.

 

[DadSmith]

Interesting results.

 

[firecadet613]

Interesting results.

If this doesn't speak volumes about the military industrial complex, I don't know what does.

The 308 still has impressive results, and after watching that, it's settled.. I need to add a 308 to my stable...

The military always seems to respond to the last conflict. Looks like this new equipment is designed to stop suicide car bombs at checkpoints. The bananas video was entertaining, but didn't compare the .277 ammo that the military will have in combat. The tester has a great broadcast voice, though!

 

[diver dan]

Well , what we ALL want to know is,how good of a round is it for coyotes?

Like I stated earlier if they load it to 308 specs and not 7.62x51 and a 150-155gr Boat tail match bullet there wouldn't be much difference. Loaded with AP bullets it's going to penetrate just as much as the new over pressured 277.
Waste of taxpayers money for marginal performance.

There is a good chance that the completed .277 Fury round weighs 6 or 7 grams less than the 7.62 x 51. If so, that makes a positive difference in resupply, as well as, the load a grunt has to bear.
