neat

Both the other entries (True Velocity poly cased ammo in a bullpup, Textrons Cased Telescopic ammo) were neater and would have actually been revolutionary developments in weapons tech. The Sig entry is a compromise in every way.

ammo

"It can penetrate Level 4 Plates without tungsten cores" was a cope they had to make up to keep the project going after they lost the real reason. The NGSW program is another case of trying to fight the last war and old generals joining the "Cult of the Rifleman": It was drawn up as a rifle for fighting in Afghanistan, and the continued meme that "We'll just train every soldier to be an expert marksman on the range, we won't need suppression and fire superiority, because they'll kill the enemy before they can get to cover." It will never work that way in actual combat conditions.

Now we have a rifle that weighs 11.5 lbs empty, the troops will carry 40% less ammo for nearly the same weight*, and the SAW version is gonna burn through barrels because the ammo has 80k PSI chamber pressure and the barrel is not changeable in the field.

* Sigs fricking cope ammo gets its own category. In order to get the velocities required without making the gun longer than the contract allowed, Sig cranked the chamber pressure up to Somewhere between "Bubba's Hot Load" and "Oops, All Powder"

In order to keep the cases from exploding they had to use their stupid two piece design, replacing the case head with a thicker stainless steel one. Then they market it as "X% reduction in weight" which is implied to be versus 7.62x51 ammo, but it's versus "Comparable Ammo". The ammo that they're comparing to are magnum rifle rounds like .338 Norma or .338 Lapua. Of course it's fricking lighter, it's 13mm shorter with a smaller bullet.

Thank you for coming to my SPED Talk

TOTAL SIGGER DEATH

Dude Finland stopped being neutral in 1994 and could join any day they wanted. Like didn't you asked you self how come Ukraine licked nato butt for 2 decades and couldn't join and Finland went in couple of months (Erdogan) also Finland had agreements with UK and US, so that alone makes them defacto nato.

If inflation is 14% and your salary went up with 11% do you consider this an increase?

When's the last time Russia was hit by a foreign military?

Do you know Yamen launch daily missiles towards US ships and even hit military one. Or you forgetting how they blown up U.S. embassy in Israel a soil that is considered U.S. ?

Member when Russia attacked U.S. forces

More than 100 burgers were killed in Ukraine so they getting there and many of those burgers weren't your regular foot soldiers.

Also Syrian bases get bombed regularly US just don't like to talk about it and US soldiers dying in those bases.

In Ukraine at least 3 U.S. mercs organisations died to Wagner hands

Do you see how delusional you are ?

This was the funniest mercs group Wagner destroyed

It's a pretty common occurrence so it's not a big surprise if you forgot about that one, here's a couple articles talking about their weekly chimpouts.

We ware talking about finland in nato

Do you se Finland ?

Satellite photos from June

Satellite photos from May and June 2023 showed Surovikin line was unmanned and Ukraine would have easy time breaking them but out of nowhere Russian troops showed like satellite images somehow now don't help Ukraine and they constantly getting surprise attacked. Reduce the garrison by 80% would be too huge and 20% wouldn't be able to maintain the infrastructure. So typical western cope of oh Russian Running out of men khohols just hold a bit longer
