With is being a piston system, the heat is on the forward end and the places surrounding the piston and barrel are aluminum, with the inside being a steel so the bolt carrier does not ware it down.

Looks like they're trying to target the special forces market with this weapon; that is, being lighter (plastic), shorter than the M4 (folding butt), while still retaining M16/M4 parts interchangeability. Sure, it's never going to be a standard issue weapon for the troops, but it looks like an attractive assault rifle for special forces and SWAT use.

i think this thing looks like a amalgamation of the m16, xm8/G36, and FNH SCAR.

from what I saw on the discovery channel this weapon seems a damned sight easier to modify/maintain than the FN SCAR series.

xxGarcesxx if magpul gets sued, so will HK for stealing the design of the AR180 for their G36. Why get sued? They made thier own gas piston system.

Interesting. It can fire with the stock folded? That would be a great sell to specialty markets like dignitary protection, armed bodyguard, Blackwater types etc. As for military usage, I'm wondering how much heat the poly material can handle. Just 90 rounds at the range heats up my AR pretty well. Great features/options though for sure.

It would be totally useless for the U.S. Military to adopt a new assault rifle that fires a 5.56mm. If they are going to adopt a new gun they might as well address the problems with the knock down power of the 5.56mm and go with a larger or higher velocity round. That said i do realize that this gun can be chambered to fire the 6.8 spec or 7.62 x 39 mm. The latter bein the round that the ak 47 fires. |
