The XM7 has one ability not often talked about. It appears it can be rechambered to 7.62 NATO and 5.56 NATO with just a barrel swap. It seems if the 6.8mm doesn't work out, lack of 6.8mm rounds but plenty of NATO rounds or is not needed in a battle space. It appears the US Army has given itself options for their new rifle.

@@dwnrange7812 The US Army has stated they are not dropping 5.56x45mm or 7.62x51mm at least for a while. Basically the 6.8x51mm M7 and M250 will operate in infantry units well the lighter less powerful M4A1 will be retained as a carbine/PDW. What the M4 was originally developed for. In this way The US Army can have NGSW and NATO commonality too. Overtime other NATO states may even adopt their own versions of the same. Much as we saw with NATO.

To me this has always been like when people argue whether things are SMGs or PDW's. The distinction isn't universal. There's not even a universal distinction between a fucking assault rifle and SMG. There are intermediate rifle cartridge long arms that are officially SMGs in some countries. There are some pistol caliber solid-stock long arms that are deemed PDW's. Generally we go with consensus i.e. distinctions that most of the world agrees upon but they're not entirely uniform everywhere. By lieu of this simple fact people will always argue amongst each other, especially considering comment sections are international.

It was interesting to see the folding cocking handle, which is very similar to the one found on the FN C1 rifle that was used by the Canadian Forces from 1956 until about 1987. Built under licence from FN at the Canadian Arsenals Limited plant in Long Branch, Ontario, many improvements were made, including the innovative cocking handle, which was less likely to catch on clothing The FN C1 was replaced by the C7, which was essentially a licence-built copy and further development of the M16A1E1. The C7 family of rifles (C7A1, C7A2, C7IUR, C8A1 carbine) are due for replacement soon. As the Colt Canada plant that made these rifles was recently bought out by CZ, it remains to be seen whether Canada's next service rifle will be a further development of the C7, or possibly something like the upcoming Bren 2.

The 6.8x51 out of the XM7's 13 inch barrel doesn't penetrate armor any better than 7.62x51 out of a 20 inch barrel because the muzzle velocities are about the same. That means for the XM7 to penetrate any level 4 armor it will need a tungsten core projectile, which leads me back to wondering why the army would adopt this instead of just going back to 7.62x51.

I’m VERY on the fence about this, for a few reasons. First and foremost is weight. The thing is a brick when it’s completely empty. Throw a full mag and an optic on it, and we’re right back to M-14 weight. An 0311 is already carrying a ludicrous amount of weight on their person as is. Which brings me to my next problem. Since it’s a bigger round, there’s no way that a infantryman is going to be able to carry anywhere near as much ammo as they could for their 5.56 combat load. The idea that we needed to go to a 6.8 x 51 to defeat the Russian’s “highly effective body armor” is laughable. Go watch ANY video coming out of Ukraine. I don’t see a single person wearing any of that and if they ARE wearing it, it does not seem to be very effective at stopping any 5.56 or 5.45 being slung at it. They’re basically wearing flak jackets and a 5.56 is more than capable of going through that. If they military was SO concerned about the combat effectiveness of the standard 62 gr NATO round, they can blame that on their decision to give the overwhelming majority of our units a 14.5 inch M4. Why not go back to an 20 inch barrel M-16 then? That alone would increase the 62 gr round’s effectiveness in combat. Good luck in qualification as well with this rifle. A 18 year old private who’s NEVER fired a gun in their life goes behind a M4, winces as they pull the trigger, finds out it’s soft shooting, then qualifies. Now you’re going to put a 6.8x51 behind their shoulder and BAM….it’s exactly what they thought it was going to be like. Mark my words, the first set of qualification scores with this are going to nose dive. On that topic, in 2014, there was a report that the US military was using 250,000 rounds, PER ENEMY KILL. Read that number again to yourself. We actually needed to borrow ammo from Israel at multiple points, cuz we were running that low. That’s with the soft shooing, 5.56 rifle, outfitted with a ACOG optic. Now, you’re going to throw a harder recoiling rifle into that with less ammo per infantryman????? Good luck with that. Good luck to the poor guy who has to do a room clearing with a 6.8x51 round and not worrying about it over penetrating into the next room. On that note, 80,000 PSI????? How often are we going to be replacing barrels in these rifles?? All in all, I feel like there was much more logical ways around this perceived problem, then going back in time to basically, a modern day battle rifle. The M16 and M4 weren’t perfect, but solved more problems than this weapon system is set to do at this time.

the 250k bullets per kill were mostly adressed to the absurd long ranges the engagements occurred for which 556 was not designed for, given than for the past 20 years the us were engaged in mostly long range shootouts, it was obvious that the m4 and the 556 would lack effectiveness at those ranges given that in both afghanistan and iraq the avg engagement was over 300 yards and the effective range for the 556 was 280 at most, according to what the army said /which we should be on the fence about because obvious reasons/ the effective range for 6.8 is 600mts/660 yds, again, thats maximum effective range, even if the real effectiveness is half at 330 yds, that range increase more than adequatly bridges the obvious faults of 556 at the avg engagement range, which would certainly bring those 250k bullets down by a significant factor

Adopting an entire new round/weapon system to address the shortcomings of the 5.56’s performance in the Afghanistan/Iraq war after we just got all of our NATO allies to switch to a 5.56 gun, so if we ever have to go to a WW3 scenario and we have mass adoption with this rifle across all branches, we’re on our own for supply lines, is one of the best know examples I can think of, of throwing the baby out with the dishwater or using a canon to kill a mosquito.

The XM7 is no heavier than the IAR the Marines are already using, and gives vastly superior capabilities. It also has far better ergonomics than the M-14. It can use standard 7.62x51mm with just a barrel swap. They tried improving the 5.56 round, but it's just never going to perform well enough beyond 400 metres. That's why so much ammo was wasted in Afghanistan. They were just engaging targets way beyond their effective range, while getting hit hard by PKMs. Some XM7s could have turned those gunfights around very quickly. China has just started mass-issuing body armour, and we know from importing and testing Chinese ceramic plates that they perform just fine. We were long overdue for a new calibre and service rifle. The M4 and M16 just don't give the overmatch they used to, and unless they develop a hybrid case version of 6.8 SPC, they never will. The US military is trying to take the capability of individual soldiers to the next level. The XM7, along with its optic and suppressor, the M17 and M18, along with their +P ammo, 21 round magazines, and slide-mounted optics, are just some examples of how they're doing it. Mass-issuing pistols to infantry is a pretty new concept for militaries, so it's nice to see they're open to new ideas.

so they go from m16a2 which had good ballistics and penetration , down to the M4 which is more like .30 carbine performance (which by the way the .300 black out is only marginally better than the .30 carbine.), back to something with long range again. Except the ammo will be twice as heavy and full auto fire will be useless except at across the room distances. the final goal with the m16a2 development was to eventually equip it with an 70-80 grain bullet in a 1 n 7 twist barrel. .5.56 had black tip that could match the penetration of the 7.62 ap. a future black tip in the heavier projectile would have had even more penetration. the heavier projectile over long distance with the excellent BC began to catch up to the 7.62 as the distances increased. energy would still not be quite matched to the 7.62 at 1000 yards but it would have definitely get to the target faster and with a flatter trajectory. its the senselessness of spending taxes to fill the pockets of the weapon industry by creating new guns that basically do what guns in the past did just as well , just like big pharma. the medicine that has worked for 50 years is not as good as the new medicine which has more side effects and cost a lot more.

It's pretty wild that Barrett tried convincing the US army to adopt their M468 (6.8x43mm SPC) 20 years ago, the platform was identical to that of your standard M4/M16, so Identical that all the military would have needed to do was purchase the upper receiver assembly and put it on their existing M4/M16 lower receivers and bam, you now have more punch and range than 5.56 while still being lighter than 7.62x51, used the same magazines and accessories already in the US inventory, and Barrett was already a contracted manufacture within the US military. It's kinda weird they passed and then forgot about it, because I don't see much of a reason to switch to the XM7 (yes the XM7 fires a slightly spiceyer round [6.8×51mm vs 6.8x43mm] but still) when the M468 already exist and doesn't change literally anything for a soldier already intiment with an M4/M16, yes, the XM7 has the same manual of arms, but they are still going to need to be trained on disassembly and maintenance while also paying for a weapon platform that doesn't share any internal components with the existing M4/M16 parts.

There is more to the new rifle than just firing a "spicier" round, though the new round does matter considerably. 3,000 f/s out of a suppressed 13in barrel is not a simple ask. Then there is the folding stock, which the M468 simply can't have, and the improvement to the gas system in the REC7 still only solved one issue, without adding any features. Bottom line, a folding stock was mandatory, so anything operating with a buffer tube is out.

The issue with the 6.8spc was the SAMMI specing and Remington fumbling the bag hard. In order to get approved, they had to spec it at way lower velocities because their chamber dimensions were bad and caused way too much variance. We now have the SPC II chamber which fixes it and brings it to what it was intended to do, but all ammo is loaded to the old spec chamber pressures so unfortunately the only people getting the true 6.8 SPC as envisioned are people who handload it to the correct specs that it was supposed to be originally.

It apparently *can* penetrate Level 4 body armor. The tests seen on YT use the currently available civillian versions of the cartridge without the steel core. Though given the recent progress in body armor in these odd 20 years, I don't believe it's gonna matter much in the long run when you consider the practical disadvantages and trade-offs the 6.8mm makes if the trend continues to evolve in favor of the armor. You need volume of fire, not sheer kinetic energy on each individual round to defeat modern body armor. Specially ceramic plates which have a finite multi-hit capability. Even if your gun is a pea shooter, if it fires and hits dozens upon dozens of repeated "peas" on the armor it's still gonna be good for something.

If in short, then: The LR-300 was taken as a basis and cut from the left side of the hole, for the design of the bolt handle, like the FN FAL. Plus, they changed the forearm to a frame structure, a different caliber and that's it. It was then possible to adopt the LR-300 and everyone would be happy.
@Synthmilk

In short, no. The Spear is not based on the LR-300. There are non-trivial differences in the firing mechanism, and it's not designed to work with a suppressor as standard. There is also more to the change in ammunition than just caliber, the chamber pressures needed to hit 3,000f/s with a short barrel requires a different design. There was also the need for a reduction in the gasses the rifle throws into the soldiers face. It's not even close to just changing some furniture from an AR and changing the caliber.

On paper, it looks like it can one shot level 4 armor at up to 100 meters, one shot level 3A armor at up to 300 meters and one shot level 3A armor at up to 600 meters. This will be an infantry rifle and the military will have less than 200,000 of these rifles and machine gun variant. They are about as heavy as a loaded up M1 rifle.

Might as well keep M4A1 or adopt the MCX Spear L for the troops who need that. Finally A number of bullpups were offered with the other down select being one. But the set up wasn’t found as favorable. This said they will likely be trialed by other armies in the very near future… hint Watch down under.

And couple with the optics, potentially the most effective rifle. Potentially. It's a heavier rifle, less round on person, but that's what comes with the territory. Perhaps they will find ways to lighten the rifle with better manufacturing in the future.

If you're talking about the KZbin test videos with the cartridge, then those were with the civillian version of the ammo. The actual military ones will have much better penetrating power. Not like I think it matters, because even if it defeats armor it makes significant trade-offs to be a practical cartridge for standard issue across common infantrymen soldiers. There is also the issue that the NIJ standards are becoming sort of obsolete by now as body armor that goes beyond their "Level 4" is evolving and becoming progressively more common. There are already some prototype vests out there that can take some *pretty* nasty stuff far beyond 6.8. The Adept Colossus HEAVY body armor for example can take a .50 BMG API straight to the face at close range without too much of a monstrous backface deformation (albeit it will still be lethal to the wearer) and as Level 4 plates become cheaper and cheaper, the tendency seem to be for it to only become more common. IMO, the way to defeat plates in the next decades seems to be to rely less on "one-shot kill" heavy calibers and more on volume of fire to wear down the plates with multiple hits. Ceramics (the most common material for good quality plates) still have limited multi-hit capability due to their brittle nature. Even the strongest ceramic plates can and *will* eventually give away if you hit them with enough of even something like .22lr (it's just gonna take A LOT of hits to get the job done).

The requirements that the military requested were that the 6.8x51mm round be able to penetrate level 4 plates without a tungsten core, since we have to source tungsten from China.

In ukraine both sides use mainly AKs chambered in 5,45x39 and they both use bodyarmor. So far I havn't heard of issues about the cartridge being "too small" from neither side and still there are plenty of videos on social medias where soldiers complain about the horrible conditions in the trenches so if their rifle was ineffective it would have probably already come out. Why? Because in a high intensity conflict like the one in ukraine statistically artilery causes 80% of the casualies and small arms are used just in close quarters or to pin down the enemy waiting for friendly artillery or mortar fire to bomb them. The concept behind this cartridge is intresting but I thik that it adressed the wrong problem and considering the cost of this type of ammunition I think that it is just a waste of money by the us military. The "smart" scope is intresting though and I think that in the future it will be slowly adopted by all the other militaries around the world

What if you ran out of ammo?

I'd. Like to believe the hype here. I want my military to always be 'the firstest with the mostest' andd the best. But I like my information comprehensive. Without the drawbacks (there are always those), this sounds like an infomercial.

I've seen other good videos on it, but it is an experimental rifle, so we aren't gonna have all the info. Plus, I'd rather like to know how the soldiers testing it like it.

It seemed cool, but the US military has never been big on bullpups, and there were concerns about the production capacity for the rifles and their ammo. We know Sig is capable of mass-producing excellent quality weapons and meeting contract requirements and deadlines, so they were the obvious choice. They offered the right blend of next-gen ammo and conventional AR-10 design.

I like the part where they showed it penetrating "Russian body armor" and told us *which* rating of Russian body armor it will defeat. 6.8 will easily defeat NIJ IIIA, but does that mean it will defeat NIJ IV or SAPI? No.

Calling the m4 a peashooter is insane 😂 granted the 556 projectile may look petite but the speeds it’s traveling at that shit will fuck you up. And from what we seen in Ukraine I don’t think Russian troops are equipped with adequate body armor
