Just putting it out there, the 5.56 was not intended to kill. It was intended to wound so that soldiers would have to tend to casualties and take more men from the fight.
@curtisw2007 No, the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge was invented for the original M16 rifle to replace the heavy 7.62x51mm cartridge that was being used. The goal was to have a round that was more lightweight to carry and easier to control in automatic fire. And the 5.56 is pretty lethal if you actually know how to shoot worth anything. I've never had a problem with a 5.56 putting a man down. Only problem I've had is it not piercing body armor very well. But the 6.8 does the job.
I think we could afford to purchase this new weapon system. All we'd have to do is downgrade the M4 so it is no longer automatic, and sell to civilians. There are a bunch that would love to own an M4, myself included. It would take some time, but eventually i think it could be effective
good argument, problem is, The US is in debt 14 trillion and won't be able to continue borrowing money to pay their employees later on. So, we can buy these weapons, but Barrett will have to wait a couple of years before they can see their money back.
Because since it was made more money has been poured into "advertising" to convince the majority of people that the M4/M16 weapons platform is good, than the money put into making a better weapon system.
a 28 round mag? lets just make it a little bigger so we can get a normal 30 rounds. and seriously USMC, Navy, Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, buy this, our troops deserve it
the 7.62x39 has 2,640 ft/s and 1,810 ft·lbf and the 6.8mm has 2,575 ft/s and 1,694 ft·lbf and according to those numbers the 7.62x39 wins witch means the ak47 is better than the m468 and the m16
@MrGlock4me better? so you'd say a 50bmg weapon is "better"? it has a faster bulet and has more ft.lbf, no the ak is less acurate is round has less penetrating power its clumky and heavy it rusts its got more reciol so is less controlable it has less range dut to the larger bullet, if your goung to use a 7.62, use the 7.62nato, if you get hit by that you ain't getting back up
@MrGlock4me no what your saying is the fact hits with more punch makes it better than m468 and the m16 so logically if thats your main stance on whats a better gun then a 50bmg would be better than the ak 47, the ak47 is not better, whay? as we would have adopted a copy of t the 6.8 spc s a better cartridge, its lighter and has a greater range and the m468 and the m16 are more acurate than the ak 47 so if the round hits it'd do more damage, well if the target was unarmoured, the 5.56 and 6.8 ap
@TheAlexagius rounds have more penetration than the 7.62x39, everyone knows that 7.62x51 should be our standared cartidge blow holes right through the taliban if you kno someone who survived an m16 i wouldn''t be as suprised as if you knew someone who took a .308, the ak will fire no matter what, but you'll be lucky to hit someone far away get a g3 though and its pretty much a sniper with an auto capability and portable enough for battlefeild use i'd take a g3 acurate reliable and devestating
@jmkk93 i hate call of duty trust me on that one, and the Taliban don't know how to shoot what i'm saying if we switched form the m16 to the ak47 we will do even better
@MrGlock4me No, we wouldn't. The AK is ineffective past 300m, the M16/M4 are effective to 550m. What is the average engagement distance in Afghanistan? It's more than 500m.
@MrGlock4me You were obviously never in the Army or Marines and obvious were never in Iraq. You have also obviously never shot an M16 or M4. The rear sights have different apertures for different engagement ranges. Anyone who has ever been trained with this rifle knows this. You don't.
@MrGlock4me They're both very easy, they're both very fast. Front sight adjustment is about the same difficulty. You don't know what you're talking about, just stop now.
@jmkk93 does it matter that it is the enemies choice of weapon and plus ak47 are not that unaccurate if your not a pussy because it is mostly the recoil and pus i got like 6 different types of ak47's and plus they are super reliable i can throw them in the mud water sand and about everything you can think of and it will work and i did that to my m16 made by colt and i fucked it up and i had to clean it about 10 times so it wouldn't jam
I wish Knight's Armament would do an SR-15 E3 chambered in 6.8 SPC. Barrett switched to the piston driven REC7 and there aren't many high-grade DGI 6.8 rifles out there. If I wanted a piston 6.8, I'd just get an LWRC. Noveske is the only manufacturer I can think of making top notch DGI 6.8mm rifles.
@Weasel65 M16 is replaced by the M4A1. XM8 is cancelled. M468 is like the M4, but with bigger bullet. ACR is used by U.S, but not common. Fires 5.56x45 NATO, but will fire the 6.8mm Remmington SPC and 7.62x39 round. SCAR H is used by Special Wafare troops. Hk-416 is still under testing.
I'd rather use the ACR or the FN SCAR H over the M16.
They are great at takeing people down so is beowolf for vehicles. Im glad my comp buys high powered weapons. Like hell I'm going back to the standerd M4.=)
@outdoorengery Only with a 20 inch barrell. The Army isn't using it any more. The Corp still has quite a few A4's fielded though. The Army is mostly M4 now.
the problem with 6.8spc is that there aren't ten thousand factories pumping out 10 billion rounds a day yet... would be too expensive to switch at this point in time.... M14 is far more effective than 6.8 (I've got mini14's in 5.56 and an M14 in .308, one for each purpose, there is no middle ground... 6.8 still lacks the power of 7.62x51 at ranges exceeding 5.56's - and lacks the accuracy of 5.56 at those ranges)
@hapelliotte seriously man i hear ya, when we use the crappy 55 grain 5.56mm round and it almost always takes multiple rounds to take down an enemy combatant. I mean yea i get the Geneva convention and all but this 6.8 mm would be so much better if fielded by my our military and all other NATO forces. Meanwhile all the 'badguys' use their awesome 7.62 beasts and we use a varmint round haha..go figure.
Only thing i have heard bad about this round is lack of range..is that true?
@infdecoy hehe It has enough range but you've heard right, it could be better. 7.62 nato beats it (of course) but that's not controllable in full auto assault rifles. that lowers the hit probability at close quarters.
the 6.8 has as much energy at 500 yards as the 5.56 has at 200, and is just as accurate. whether stopping bad guys or penetrating light cover, it would be my choice over 556 every time.
@hapelliotte oh nice, thanks for the info. Im not much of a full auto firing guy anyways unless i have my M249 back hehe, so semi works fine for me. This 6.8mm round seems like an all around winner IMO though.
@infdecoy 6.8 would be controllable in full auto bursts :) unlike 7.62 nato. but yeah FA is a great way to waste ammo if I was just using semi, 762nato would be king for breaching cover, long range & knock down power
I guess they've ressurrected the m14 762nato due to engagment ranges in Afghanistan. For something old its very accurate and reliable. When the stock is replaced with this.... it's controllability/ergos are greatly improved.
@hapelliotte fully auto 7.62x51 is actually quite easily controllable with a decent muzzle brake / recoil eliminator.... makes it loud as hell for the person firing it (ear plugs needed) but recoil is reduced to about that of a full auto .22LR :) I've got an M14 .308 I'll stick to that, long range knock down power + penetration through objects + scare factor (your enemy shits in their pants) employing a burris scout scope which means instant target aqcuisition and very fast follow up shots..
Blllllaaaarg wheres my extra 3k so i can get one :P aaagh.
As for the 5.56 all I really know about it is what Paul Howe had to say about it in Black Hawk Down. Him and the rest of the boys there had to shoot a guy multiple times and he felt like he alost had to go out and club a guy to death cause shooting him wasnt doing it. Used the .223 and .308 hunting though, and all I can say is I prefer the .308. 1 chest shot down every time. .223 4-5 chest hits and chase em for a couple miles.
Dont be sorry,,You learn it becuase you have to on an mill M4 range.Plain and simple.Id say no less than 2 out of every 14 shooters on the line will foul up and delay the range every time the range goes hot.And thats on a good run. Its part of shooting a Colt M4 for a living. Also ,mill m16 mags are trash.The mags cuase almost half the problems.Most are overused and fail to feed properly.Thats why we stack 26 rnds per mag instead of 30.
when this round costs less than a dollar a round then id concider using it... but for now ill stick with 5.56 which i an put enough rounds into someone to take them down without having to go bankrupt..
Im just sharing what ive learned over the years.Mostly the hard way.Ive witnessed first hand the lack of 556 stopping power on a man 3 rnds center mass 8-10 meters away.Over penn is always a problem also. People saying 556 is a good room clearing round simply havnt been trained on subguns like the MP5. But a lot of times you have to use whats issued,,and thats an M-4,even in SPECWAR and LE SWAT.No hard feelings.You can always pull the shot placement card.LOL
@ TomsGuns.. Ive learned not to underestimate any sized round.I just know the limits of the 556.As for crap....well,I love my m-4s/16 just as much as the next guy due to using that rifle type most of my adult life.I fell in love with my M16 at 17 when I was an E-1 dirtkicking private and still respect and that rifle like part of my family today at 30.Its earned my respect the hard way from basic,Iraq,and the Stan.,but like most things I love,its far from perfect. I see your point of view Tom.

The 556 is a political round and not much more than that. Unlike the 556 the 6.8 is a manstopper from room to room and also allows the punch needed at distance engagements like the trusty 308.Theres a reason the FN Scar lights were traded back into the armory for the heavies.
In training on the M-16 at entry level and beyond,troops spent just as much time learning about and handling weapon malfunctions than actual shooting.SPORTS is burned into troops mind and utilized so commonly that its an expected part of range excersize.Having trained troops on both the AK and 16,when the firing line is full of AKs we could concentrate on burning up rounds instead of fixing jams and trying not to let sand get in the cracks of our M-4s.
@TheWarscent im sorry but the reason you learn OSPORTS on basic... is because the military knows from its century or two of experience that MURPHY will find you... and he will kick your ass no matter how lucky you are... and if you don't know how to clear a jam in an ak one day it will jam when you need it most...
@ Spetsnazovets Youve been right on target with your opinions and info Spet.This is comming from an 11 yr US Specwar vet.The AK variants are far more practical fighting systems.The traditional M-16 is flawed all around from the weak round,to the gas system hense the fine invention of the forward assist button.
@NintendoPowerFTW Ou but also, do you realize, yes i will admit this round is much more powerful than a 5.56 by 45, but you also got to realize, the 5.56 is smaller, has pretty good power against body armor, and you can carry alot more, due to the fact its lighter. Then there's manufacturing a crap load of these new rifles, then getting them to front line troops. But yes, over time, this round will most likely be more commonly used as body armor gains the ability to stop larger rounds. >:D
@NintendoPowerFTW If only you knew how much it'd cost to replace several million rifles. You need to re-teach personnel, pay for the rifles, dispose of old ones. Also 5.56 NATO means all NATO countries need to produce the 6.8SPC round. I doubt that Remington will allow someone else make those rounds. To pay all that the effectiveness needs to justify the money spent. And chances are cost-effectiveness will not be high enough hence NATO will have to endure.
@NintendoPowerFTW My god, nato had to bend the rules before when 7.62 was standard and americans wouldn't budge from their beloved 5.56. Maybe America needs to start respecting other nato countries and nato policies, eh?
@NintendoPowerFTW agreed not only would this 6.8 round get the job done with more force but it would do it while sounding godly to.. i couldnt listen to the dude talking had to pay attention to the background fire
@whatizthisidonteven it isn't that much more accurate if you own and shoot both alot but it takes more shots to kill a guy with the 556x45 round and it only takes one round with the 7.62x39 oh by the way why do you think why they are trying to get rid of the 556x45 round by replacing it with the 6.8mm and the 6.8mm is not that much better
@MrGlock4me Another guy who thinks he knows what he's talking about. The original M43 round had the exact same problems as the M855 round when introduced. It would zip right through people and not cause significant terminal effects. The new Mk 318 SOST and M855A1 rounds are very, very lethal. The latter has more penetrating ability than the standard M80 7.62x51 cartridge. Bullet selection is critical with 5.56mm and the SS109 (M855 in US parlance) wasn't the best design.
@MrGlock4me It is a lot more accurate, or at least has the capacity to be. The AK has far more barrel harmonics from the gas system. The AK doesn't have a free floated barrel. The AK's sights are less effective than the ones on my shotgun. A 5.56mm AK has significantly more perceived recoil than an AR. That's without getting into the ergonomics of the AK, which are awful.
@Nater245689 ok if it so awful then tell me something then why does every country but america mostly uses an ak47 im telling you it is a lot more better than any m16 another thing is open sights are a lot better than closed sightsand whoever says other is a fucking dumb ass
@MrGlock4me First of all, every country that can afford something better, does. They're very popular because the Soviets made them by the millions during the Cold War. After their collapse international arms smugglers moved them by the shipload worldwide. Even before that, the Soviets were practically giving them away. How many nations use the AK that can afford something better? Not too many. Sorry, but pistol sights don't belong on a rifle.
@MrGlock4me Finally, 6.8 SPC is a more effective round than the 7.62x39mm that you'd want to see replace 5.56mm. A 115gr 6.8mm projectile traveling at 2,575fps generates just under 1,700ft-lbs of force. The M43, on the other hand, travels at 2,400fps and generates 1,560ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. The 6.8 SPC doesn't need highly curved magazines to function, magazines that won't work well in a rifle with a mag well. It's also accurate to much longer ranges (500m vs. 300m).
@Nater245689 hahahahaha the 6.8 is not more effective than the 7.62x39 it doesn't really matter for the fps for close range combat trust me i been Iraq and when i seen an ak47 on the ground i ditched my m16 for that ak47 and it is still going supersonic and plus the 7.62x39 has a much bigger projectile
@MrGlock4me 6.8 is more effective, it has nearly twice the effective range, 200-400fps more velocity, and carries projectiles of similar mass. What isn't more effective about it? If you 'ditched your M16' it certainly wasn't for long. You wouldn't have been supplied with ammunition and your SGM would have torn you two new assholes regardless. If you're saying 200ft-lbs more of kinetic energy doesn't matter for CQB, then 5.56 should be as good as 7.62x39 then.
@Nater245689 hey is wasn't supplied with ammo i picked up magazines off of the ground of whoever i kill and my commanding officer didn't give a shit and the 6.8 has 1,694 ft·lbs and the 7.62x39 has 1,810 ft·lbs the 6.8 round has 2,575 ft/sand the 7.62x39 has2,640 ft/s so tell me what is better now
@MrGlock4me Then you would have used it for a day at most. I can make up numbers all day long, but that doesn't make them accurate. 6.8 SPC with 115gr FMJ at 2,575fps is 1,694ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, 16" barrel. 7.62x39mm M43, 123gr FMJ at 2,400fps is 1,560fl-lbs of energy at the muzzle with a 16" barrel. The 6.8 SPC has far flatter ballistics, higher muzzle energy, higher velocity, and is slight smaller and lighter. It's a better round.
A Suppressor uses a Baffling System to trap gasses and sound reverberation, the most effective way to use a suppressor is to use Subsonic Ammo with it, you can fire ANY type of ammo through a suppressor but the Higher pressure loads will wear out the suppressor much faster. Less Powder to burn in a long rifle the better the burn and the longer the suppressor lasts (Muzzle-flash occurs when unburnt gunpowder meets the air at the muzzle and ignites, its wasted energy. A Subsonic round uses ......
A heavier grain bullet and less powder (less powder for velocity decrease and optimal use for suppressors, and the heavier grain to decrease velocity / give the bullet a stable flight path / & retain lethal energy to the target). The Barrett M468 (REC7) is in my opinion the best choice for the US Army, it comes in both 5.56x45 NATO and 6.8 SPC. All SOPMOD 1/2/3 Compliant, tried and true battle tested platform, Modified Gas Piston system /w 2 Position Chrome Nitride Gas Plug, What more do u need?
@Spartan536 I AGREE WITH U SPARTAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY. THE REC 7 IS THE BEST CHOICE OF WEAPON SYSTEM FOR OUR MILITARY. INTERMS OF TRAINING OUR SOLDIERS ON IT, NEGLIGEBLE. LIKE FIRING AN M16/M4, BUT SLIGHT INCREASE RECOIL IF IN 6.8SPC. IVE USED THIS GUN AND LET ME TELL U IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST ENGINEERED/CONSTRUCTED WEAPON IVE HAD THE PREVILDGE TO GET MY HANDS ON. IF UVE BEEN TRAINED ON THE M16 THIS GUN IS SECOND NATURE. ITS LIKE AN EXTENSION OF URSELF. PLUS THE ADDED STOPPING POWER NO CONTEST
@GTBurns48215 yeah but if it was in cod they would rape the shit outta this gun and videos like this are gonna be flooded with call of duty shit heads thinking that they know everything about this gun.
THE SUPPRESSOR ON A GUN WORKS ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES THAT THE MUFFLER ON UR CAR WORKS. IT SILENCES THE COMBUSTION, IN THIS CASE, THE DETINATING OF THE SHELL. SO THE REPORT OF THE GUN IS SILENCED BUT THE BULLET STILL MAKES NOISE ONCE IT LEAVES THE MUZZLE DUE TO SUPER SONIC SHOCKWAVE. SUBSONIC AMMO IS DESIGNED NOT TO GO SUPERSONIC, OR USES LESS POWDER TO GIVE THE ROUND LESS ENERGY TO TRAVEL AT THAT SPEED. USING SS AMMO WITH A SUPPRESSOR THE GUN IS AS LOUD AS ITS MECHANISM. HOPE THAT CLARIFYS
@banx9211 DONT FORGET THE SUPPRESSOR ONLY DROPS THE DECIBALS OF THE DISCHARGE A FEW DEGREES. I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF SUPPRESSOR USED, HOW MANY BAFFELS AND IF ITS WET OR DRY. ALSO THE SUPPRESSOR CHANGES THE SOUND OF THE DISCHARGE SO IT DONT SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT MAKING IT HARDER TO RECOGNIZE. SOUNDS MORE LIKE A SNEEZE IN THIS VID. ALSO THE SUPERSONIC CRACK OF THE BULLET IS MOSTLY WHAT U HEAR, IF THEY USED SUBSONIC ROUNDS ALL UD HEAR IS THE BOLT WORKING.
WHY DO U NEED MULTIPLE CALIBER BARRELS WHEN U GOT THE RIGHT ONE THE FIRST TIME OUT. FUCK 7.62X39 SOVIET, AND THE 5.56X45 NATO. THIS ROUND IS THE SHIT. IT BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN BATTLE RIFLE AND ASSUALT RIFLE ROUNDS. AND THIS PLATFORM, NO COMPARISON. IT STANDS ALONE. GOTS EVERYTHING U NEED. ULTIMATE RIFLE. NOW IF A BARRET REP READS THIS, PLEASE SEND ME A REC 7, MIL SPEC. WITH SUPPRESSOR FRONT GRIP/BIPOD, AND A MULTI MAGNIFICATION SIGHT. THANK U.
@HUEJOHNSON Dude, stop calling Call Of Duty attachments. Hell, a MULTI MAGNIFICATION SIGHT?? That could be fucking everything. Maby an Akah 6-40x50 Long Range Scope? Or an Trijicon Acog (don't really remember it's spec's) or a Schmidt&Bender PM II MK II 10x42? What bipod, Harris? Maby a Troy Foregrip? And some AAC suppressors?
@ITotaldutchI COD? WTF. ALWAYS SOME GOOBER THAT READS SOMEONE SAYIN SOMETHING CONCERNING A WEAPON AND THEY JUMP TO COD? I DIDNT GO INTO THE SPECIFIC MANUFACTURERS OF THE ATTACHMENTS BUT JUST MENTIONED HOW I WOULD CUSTOMIZE MY GUN U GOOF. I WAS A STONE THROWS AWAY FROM BUYIN ME A REC 7 WITH THOSE ATTACHMENTS SO WHERE DO U COME FROM GETTING UR PANTIES IN A WAD OVER SOMETHING THAT DOESNT CONCERN U. GO BACK UNDER UR BRIDGE AND GET RAPED BY A BILLY GOAT, U TROLL.
MAKE THE 6.8SPC THE STANDARD FOR NATO AND EVERYONES PROB IS SOLVED. AS FOR THE ACR ITS SEEMS MORE LIKE A SPEC OPS RIFLE THAN A STANDARD INFINTRY RIFLE. THE REC 7 IS ON A TRIED AND TESTED PLATFORM. AND TALKIN FROM ACTUALLY USING THAT RIFLE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WEAPON AS WELL ENGINEERED AS THIS GUN. COMPARED TO THE OTHER FLIMSY 6.8'S OUT THERE THIS GUN IS LIKE A ROCK. REC 7 HANDS DOWN. AND IT CAN ALSO BE FITTED WITH A SUPPRESSOR.
THIS WEAPON IS THE EASIEST FOR THE ARMY TO ADOPT. IN TERMS OF TRAINING AND COST OF PERCURMENT. THEY COULD JUST BUY THE UPPERS. BARRET RECENTLY RELEASED A 5.56 VERSION OF THE REC 7. TRAINING, HARDLY AN ISSUE SINCE THE REC 7 IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE STANDARD M16/M4. ALL THE TROOPS NEED TO DO IS LEARN ABOUT THE PISTON SYSTEM AND HOW TO MAINTAIN IT. IF I WAS THEM ID STILL GO WITH THE 6.8SPC AND SELL OF THE MILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF 5.56 TO ALLIES, OR STOCK EM UP IN FOR THE M249'S.
IN AN AO WHERE THE ENEMY IS FIRING AK'S, THE OPERATOR CAN BE INVISIABLE AND WILL HAVE AN ALMOST LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF AMMO IF NEED BE FROM SCAVENGED DEAD ENEMIES. COST WISE, THE BARRET IS ROUGHLY 3 G'S. MY BE DIFF SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT THATS THE PRICE I SAW ON IT. FROM WHAT I HEAR THE ACR IS GOIN ROUND THE SAME MAYBE BE MORE. AS FOR REPLACING CURRENT FIREARMS IN THE MILITARY REC 7 BABY, NO NEED TO TRAIN ON A PLATFORM THAT RESEMBLES M16/M4. MAYBE JUST TO GET USED TO THE RECOIL OF THE 6.8.
@colombianassdigger I THINK U SHOULD INVEST IN A UR LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH DICTIONARY SO THAT U CAN POST COHERENT MESSAGES THAT MAKE SENSE. IF U DONT LIKE THE FACT THAT I TYPE WITH CAPS LOCKS ON, THAT UR PROBLEM, GO DEAL WITH IT. AS FOR SOUNDING LIKE A RETARD, U DO THAT EVERYTIME U OPEN UR MOUTH. GO DIG SOME ASS, ASSDIGGER. NAMLEY UR OWN.
@colombianassdigger BUDDY WHOEVER U ARE, U ARE A FAG, 4 REAL. ATTENTION? U START ARGUMENTS JUST SO THAT U CAN START FLIRTING WITH GUYS AND GET THE ATTENTION THAT U CRAVE. UR BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE ASS DIGGER. GET LOST FAGGOT, GO CATCH A DICK.....BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
BARRET JUST CREATED A 5.56 VERSION OF THE REC 7. AND AN INCREASE IN THE RELIABLITY OF THE GAS SYSTEM. AS FOR THE ACR, IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD GUN, NEVE HAD THE CHANCE TO GET MY HANDS ON IT. BUT THE BARRET IS IN THE TRIED AND TESTED AR CONFIGE WITH I HAVE TRAINED ON AND IT FEELS LIKE AN EXTENSION OF MY ARM NOT JUST SOMETHING IM CARRYING. BARRET ALL THE WAY. THE ONLY UPSIDE IN THE ACR IS THE ABILITY TO SHOOT 7.62X39 AMMO.
@SpecialOps1337 you do know the acr can fire the 6.8, right? with a quick change of the recievers, the acr is capable of firing the 5.56, the 7.62 and the 6.8.
BARRETT HAS GOT IT RIGHT WITH THIS WEAPONS SYSTEM. IT IS THE BEST ENGINEERED AND RUGGED RIFLE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVELDGE TO WEILD. THE SOUND OF THE BOLT CLOSING CHAMBERING A ROUND WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME JIZZ IN MY PANTS. THATS HOW CRISP IT SOUNDS. THIS RIFLE CAN BE PLACED IN OUR TROOPS HANDS TODAY AND IT WOULD BE LIKE NOTHIN CHANGED EXCEPT FOR SLIGHTLY MORE RECOIL AND THE ENEMIES DROPPING IN 1 OR 2 SHOTS INSTEAD OF 4 OR 5. ITS THE BEST OF BOTH BATTLE AND ASSUALT IN ONE NEAT 6.8 PACKAGE.
I never really understood how they can put a R.A.S system and a supressor on, and then everything called Armalite and Colt turns to Barrett? Haven't they got copyrights or some shit?
considered to be much stronger and more durable than a Colt platform and superior to the H&K M416. I think the REC7 may replace the Colt M4/M16 system for many reasons.
1. US Military will still use the same operating and maintenance procedures used today
2. Chambered for 2 calibers one of which is a NATO battle standard and the other which could be adapted as the Army calls for a more potent round.
@Spartan536 i think usa will stick to usa guns, belgaium will stick to belgian guns, and germany will stick to german guns, but on somme way they will adapt the shit, so parts from the one gun to the other can be interchangable
i think there shoud be considered to reopen the xm8 project
stupid it was
i mean, they canceled that shit when it was nearly finished
The Barrett REC7 is by far a more superior weapon to the H&K 416, first off Barrett went to Magpul, Daniel Defense, and obviously Colt to design a very functional tactical practical rifle that is chambered for either 6.8mm SPC or 5.56x45mm NATO. Also the new version features a 2 position nitride gas plug and a chrome lined fluted gas block to GREATLY REDUCE carbon buildup. The barrel is expected to last as long as any battle standard M4/M16 weapon system, and the internals are (continued) ----->
Just putting it out there, the 5.56 was not intended to kill. It was intended to wound so that soldiers would have to tend to casualties and take more men from the fight.
curtisw2007 4 weeks ago
@curtisw2007 No, the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge was invented for the original M16 rifle to replace the heavy 7.62x51mm cartridge that was being used. The goal was to have a round that was more lightweight to carry and easier to control in automatic fire. And the 5.56 is pretty lethal if you actually know how to shoot worth anything. I've never had a problem with a 5.56 putting a man down. Only problem I've had is it not piercing body armor very well. But the 6.8 does the job.

the 7.62x39 has 2,640 ft/s and 1,810 ft·lbf and the 6.8mm has 2,575 ft/s and 1,694 ft·lbf and according to those numbers the 7.62x39 wins witch means the ak47 is better than the m468 and the m16
MrGlock4me 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me better? so you'd say a 50bmg weapon is "better"? it has a faster bulet and has more ft.lbf, no the ak is less acurate is round has less penetrating power its clumky and heavy it rusts its got more reciol so is less controlable it has less range dut to the larger bullet, if your goung to use a 7.62, use the 7.62nato, if you get hit by that you ain't getting back up

MrGlock4me 6 months ago
@MrGlock4me no what your saying is the fact hits with more punch makes it better than m468 and the m16 so logically if thats your main stance on whats a better gun then a 50bmg would be better than the ak 47, the ak47 is not better, whay? as we would have adopted a copy of t the 6.8 spc s a better cartridge, its lighter and has a greater range and the m468 and the m16 are more acurate than the ak 47 so if the round hits it'd do more damage, well if the target was unarmoured, the 5.56 and 6.8 ap

@TheAlexagius rounds have more penetration than the 7.62x39, everyone knows that 7.62x51 should be our standared cartidge blow holes right through the taliban if you kno someone who survived an m16 i wouldn''t be as suprised as if you knew someone who took a .308, the ak will fire no matter what, but you'll be lucky to hit someone far away get a g3 though and its pretty much a sniper with an auto capability and portable enough for battlefeild use i'd take a g3 acurate reliable and devestating

I wish Knight's Armament would do an SR-15 E3 chambered in 6.8 SPC. Barrett switched to the piston driven REC7 and there aren't many high-grade DGI 6.8 rifles out there. If I wanted a piston 6.8, I'd just get an LWRC. Noveske is the only manufacturer I can think of making top notch DGI 6.8mm rifles.

@Weasel65 M16 is replaced by the M4A1. XM8 is cancelled. M468 is like the M4, but with bigger bullet. ACR is used by U.S, but not common. Fires 5.56x45 NATO, but will fire the 6.8mm Remmington SPC and 7.62x39 round. SCAR H is used by Special Wafare troops. Hk-416 is still under testing.

the problem with 6.8spc is that there aren't ten thousand factories pumping out 10 billion rounds a day yet... would be too expensive to switch at this point in time.... M14 is far more effective than 6.8 (I've got mini14's in 5.56 and an M14 in .308, one for each purpose, there is no middle ground... 6.8 still lacks the power of 7.62x51 at ranges exceeding 5.56's - and lacks the accuracy of 5.56 at those ranges)

@hapelliotte seriously man i hear ya, when we use the crappy 55 grain 5.56mm round and it almost always takes multiple rounds to take down an enemy combatant. I mean yea i get the Geneva convention and all but this 6.8 mm would be so much better if fielded by my our military and all other NATO forces. Meanwhile all the 'badguys' use their awesome 7.62 beasts and we use a varmint round haha..go figure.
Only thing i have heard bad about this round is lack of range..is that true?
infdecoy 11 months ago
@infdecoy hehe It has enough range but you've heard right, it could be better. 7.62 nato beats it (of course) but that's not controllable in full auto assault rifles. that lowers the hit probability at close quarters.
the 6.8 has as much energy at 500 yards as the 5.56 has at 200, and is just as accurate. whether stopping bad guys or penetrating light cover, it would be my choice over 556 every time.
hapelliotte 11 months ago
@hapelliotte oh nice, thanks for the info. Im not much of a full auto firing guy anyways unless i have my M249 back hehe, so semi works fine for me. This 6.8mm round seems like an all around winner IMO though.
infdecoy 11 months ago
@infdecoy 6.8 would be controllable in full auto bursts :) unlike 7.62 nato. but yeah FA is a great way to waste ammo if I was just using semi, 762nato would be king for breaching cover, long range & knock down power
I guess they've ressurrected the m14 762nato due to engagment ranges in Afghanistan. For something old its very accurate and reliable. When the stock is replaced with this.... it's controllability/ergos are greatly improved.

hapelliotte 11 months ago
@hapelliotte fully auto 7.62x51 is actually quite easily controllable with a decent muzzle brake / recoil eliminator.... makes it loud as hell for the person firing it (ear plugs needed) but recoil is reduced to about that of a full auto .22LR :) I've got an M14 .308 I'll stick to that, long range knock down power + penetration through objects + scare factor (your enemy shits in their pants) employing a burris scout scope which means instant target aqcuisition and very fast follow up shots..

@toadecks hehe my first choice would be a troy platform containing an m14, so I agree :)

Him and the rest of the boys there had to shoot a guy multiple times and he felt like he alost had to go out and club a guy to death cause shooting him wasnt doing it. Used the .223 and .308 hunting though, and all I can say is I prefer the .308. 1 chest shot down every time. .223 4-5 chest hits and chase em for a couple miles.

Its part of shooting a Colt M4 for a living. Also ,mill m16 mags are trash.The mags cuase almost half the problems.Most are overused and fail to feed properly.Thats why we stack 26 rnds per mag instead of 30.

The 556 is a political round and not much more than that. Unlike the 556 the 6.8 is a manstopper from room to room and also allows the punch needed at distance engagements like the trusty 308.Theres a reason the FN Scar lights were traded back into the armory for the heavies.

In training on the M-16 at entry level and beyond,troops spent just as much time learning about and handling weapon malfunctions than actual shooting.SPORTS is burned into troops mind and utilized so commonly that its an expected part of range excersize.Having trained troops on both the AK and 16,when the firing line is full of AKs we could concentrate on burning up rounds instead of fixing jams and trying not to let sand get in the cracks of our M-4s.
TheWarscent 1 year ago
@TheWarscent im sorry but the reason you learn OSPORTS on basic... is because the military knows from its century or two of experience that MURPHY will find you... and he will kick your ass no matter how lucky you are... and if you don't know how to clear a jam in an ak one day it will jam when you need it most...

@ Spetsnazovets Youve been right on target with your opinions and info Spet.This is comming from an 11 yr US Specwar vet.The AK variants are far more practical fighting systems.The traditional M-16 is flawed all around from the weak round,to the gas system hense the fine invention of the forward assist button.

@NintendoPowerFTW Ou but also, do you realize, yes i will admit this round is much more powerful than a 5.56 by 45, but you also got to realize, the 5.56 is smaller, has pretty good power against body armor, and you can carry alot more, due to the fact its lighter. Then there's manufacturing a crap load of these new rifles, then getting them to front line troops. But yes, over time, this round will most likely be more commonly used as body armor gains the ability to stop larger rounds. >:D

@NintendoPowerFTW If only you knew how much it'd cost to replace several million rifles. You need to re-teach personnel, pay for the rifles, dispose of old ones. Also 5.56 NATO means all NATO countries need to produce the 6.8SPC round. I doubt that Remington will allow someone else make those rounds. To pay all that the effectiveness needs to justify the money spent. And chances are cost-effectiveness will not be high enough hence NATO will have to endure.

MrGlock4me 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me Another guy who thinks he knows what he's talking about. The original M43 round had the exact same problems as the M855 round when introduced. It would zip right through people and not cause significant terminal effects. The new Mk 318 SOST and M855A1 rounds are very, very lethal. The latter has more penetrating ability than the standard M80 7.62x51 cartridge. Bullet selection is critical with 5.56mm and the SS109 (M855 in US parlance) wasn't the best design.
Nater245689 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me It is a lot more accurate, or at least has the capacity to be. The AK has far more barrel harmonics from the gas system. The AK doesn't have a free floated barrel. The AK's sights are less effective than the ones on my shotgun. A 5.56mm AK has significantly more perceived recoil than an AR. That's without getting into the ergonomics of the AK, which are awful.
Nater245689 7 months ago
@Nater245689 ok if it so awful then tell me something then why does every country but america mostly uses an ak47 im telling you it is a lot more better than any m16 another thing is open sights are a lot better than closed sightsand whoever says other is a fucking dumb ass
MrGlock4me 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me First of all, every country that can afford something better, does. They're very popular because the Soviets made them by the millions during the Cold War. After their collapse international arms smugglers moved them by the shipload worldwide. Even before that, the Soviets were practically giving them away. How many nations use the AK that can afford something better? Not too many. Sorry, but pistol sights don't belong on a rifle.
Nater245689 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me Finally, 6.8 SPC is a more effective round than the 7.62x39mm that you'd want to see replace 5.56mm. A 115gr 6.8mm projectile traveling at 2,575fps generates just under 1,700ft-lbs of force. The M43, on the other hand, travels at 2,400fps and generates 1,560ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. The 6.8 SPC doesn't need highly curved magazines to function, magazines that won't work well in a rifle with a mag well. It's also accurate to much longer ranges (500m vs. 300m).
Nater245689 7 months ago
@Nater245689 hahahahaha the 6.8 is not more effective than the 7.62x39 it doesn't really matter for the fps for close range combat trust me i been Iraq and when i seen an ak47 on the ground i ditched my m16 for that ak47 and it is still going supersonic and plus the 7.62x39 has a much bigger projectile
MrGlock4me 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me 6.8 is more effective, it has nearly twice the effective range, 200-400fps more velocity, and carries projectiles of similar mass. What isn't more effective about it? If you 'ditched your M16' it certainly wasn't for long. You wouldn't have been supplied with ammunition and your SGM would have torn you two new assholes regardless. If you're saying 200ft-lbs more of kinetic energy doesn't matter for CQB, then 5.56 should be as good as 7.62x39 then.
Nater245689 7 months ago
@Nater245689 hey is wasn't supplied with ammo i picked up magazines off of the ground of whoever i kill and my commanding officer didn't give a shit and the 6.8 has 1,694 ft·lbs and the 7.62x39 has 1,810 ft·lbs the 6.8 round has 2,575 ft/sand the 7.62x39 has2,640 ft/s so tell me what is better now
MrGlock4me 7 months ago
@MrGlock4me Then you would have used it for a day at most. I can make up numbers all day long, but that doesn't make them accurate. 6.8 SPC with 115gr FMJ at 2,575fps is 1,694ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, 16" barrel. 7.62x39mm M43, 123gr FMJ at 2,400fps is 1,560fl-lbs of energy at the muzzle with a 16" barrel. The 6.8 SPC has far flatter ballistics, higher muzzle energy, higher velocity, and is slight smaller and lighter. It's a better round.

A Suppressor uses a Baffling System to trap gasses and sound reverberation, the most effective way to use a suppressor is to use Subsonic Ammo with it, you can fire ANY type of ammo through a suppressor but the Higher pressure loads will wear out the suppressor much faster. Less Powder to burn in a long rifle the better the burn and the longer the suppressor lasts (Muzzle-flash occurs when unburnt gunpowder meets the air at the muzzle and ignites, its wasted energy. A Subsonic round uses ......

A heavier grain bullet and less powder (less powder for velocity decrease and optimal use for suppressors, and the heavier grain to decrease velocity / give the bullet a stable flight path / & retain lethal energy to the target).

THE SUPPRESSOR ON A GUN WORKS ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES THAT THE MUFFLER ON UR CAR WORKS. IT SILENCES THE COMBUSTION, IN THIS CASE, THE DETINATING OF THE SHELL. SO THE REPORT OF THE GUN IS SILENCED BUT THE BULLET STILL MAKES NOISE ONCE IT LEAVES THE MUZZLE DUE TO SUPER SONIC SHOCKWAVE. SUBSONIC AMMO IS DESIGNED NOT TO GO SUPERSONIC, OR USES LESS POWDER TO GIVE THE ROUND LESS ENERGY TO TRAVEL AT THAT SPEED. USING SS AMMO WITH A SUPPRESSOR THE GUN IS AS LOUD AS ITS MECHANISM. HOPE THAT CLARIFYS

THIS WEAPON IS THE EASIEST FOR THE ARMY TO ADOPT. IN TERMS OF TRAINING AND COST OF PERCURMENT. THEY COULD JUST BUY THE UPPERS. BARRET RECENTLY RELEASED A 5.56 VERSION OF THE REC 7. TRAINING, HARDLY AN ISSUE SINCE THE REC 7 IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE STANDARD M16/M4. ALL THE TROOPS NEED TO DO IS LEARN ABOUT THE PISTON SYSTEM AND HOW TO MAINTAIN IT. IF I WAS THEM ID STILL GO WITH THE 6.8SPC AND SELL OF THE MILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF 5.56 TO ALLIES, OR STOCK EM UP IN FOR THE M249'S.

the barrett rec-7 doesnt have an chance
acr is much more adaptable
already diferend stocks available, specialy made for somme millitairy aplications, able to fire 3 diferend types of bullets
and i dont think it will be the hk 416
its a bit more releable but it is not american, and the usa has already prooven they dont care about that stuff much(xm8 was canceled)
the fn scar-l doesnt has an big future i think
maybe the fn scar-h has, unless they decide the hk 417 is better(withc exualy is)

IN AN AO WHERE THE ENEMY IS FIRING AK'S, THE OPERATOR CAN BE INVISIABLE AND WILL HAVE AN ALMOST LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF AMMO IF NEED BE FROM SCAVENGED DEAD ENEMIES. COST WISE, THE BARRET IS ROUGHLY 3 G'S. MY BE DIFF SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT THATS THE PRICE I SAW ON IT. FROM WHAT I HEAR THE ACR IS GOIN ROUND THE SAME MAYBE BE MORE. AS FOR REPLACING CURRENT FIREARMS IN THE MILITARY REC 7 BABY, NO NEED TO TRAIN ON A PLATFORM THAT RESEMBLES M16/M4. MAYBE JUST TO GET USED TO THE RECOIL OF THE 6.8.

BARRET JUST CREATED A 5.56 VERSION OF THE REC 7. AND AN INCREASE IN THE RELIABLITY OF THE GAS SYSTEM. AS FOR THE ACR, IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD GUN, NEVE HAD THE CHANCE TO GET MY HANDS ON IT. BUT THE BARRET IS IN THE TRIED AND TESTED AR CONFIGE WITH I HAVE TRAINED ON AND IT FEELS LIKE AN EXTENSION OF MY ARM NOT JUST SOMETHING IM CARRYING. BARRET ALL THE WAY. THE ONLY UPSIDE IN THE ACR IS THE ABILITY TO SHOOT 7.62X39 AMMO.

@SpecialOps1337 you do know the acr can fire the 6.8, right? with a quick change of the recievers, the acr is capable of firing the 5.56, the 7.62 and the 6.8.

BARRETT HAS GOT IT RIGHT WITH THIS WEAPONS SYSTEM. IT IS THE BEST ENGINEERED AND RUGGED RIFLE I HAVE EVER HAD THE PRIVELDGE TO WEILD. THE SOUND OF THE BOLT CLOSING CHAMBERING A ROUND WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME JIZZ IN MY PANTS. THATS HOW CRISP IT SOUNDS. THIS RIFLE CAN BE PLACED IN OUR TROOPS HANDS TODAY AND IT WOULD BE LIKE NOTHIN CHANGED EXCEPT FOR SLIGHTLY MORE RECOIL AND THE ENEMIES DROPPING IN 1 OR 2 SHOTS INSTEAD OF 4 OR 5. ITS THE BEST OF BOTH BATTLE AND ASSUALT IN ONE NEAT 6.8 PACKAGE.

I never really understood how they can put a R.A.S system and a supressor on, and then everything called Armalite and Colt turns to Barrett? Haven't they got copyrights or some shit?

considered to be much stronger and more durable than a Colt platform and superior to the H&K M416. I think the REC7 may replace the Colt M4/M16 system for many reasons.
1. US Military will still use the same operating and maintenance procedures used today
2. Chambered for 2 calibers one of which is a NATO battle standard and the other which could be adapted as the Army calls for a more potent round.
3. American owned & operated, MADE IN USA.
4. Familiar tried & true weapons platform.
Spartan536 1 year ago
@Spartan536 i think usa will stick to usa guns, belgaium will stick to belgian guns, and germany will stick to german guns, but on somme way they will adapt the shit, so parts from the one gun to the other can be interchangable
i think there shoud be considered to reopen the xm8 project
stupid it was
i mean, they canceled that shit when it was nearly finished
and the xm8 is the most releable shit of all
colombianassdigger 1 year ago
The Barrett REC7 is by far a more superior weapon to the H&K 416, first off Barrett went to Magpul, Daniel Defense, and obviously Colt to design a very functional tactical practical rifle that is chambered for either 6.8mm SPC or 5.56x45mm NATO. Also the new version features a 2 position nitride gas plug and a chrome lined fluted gas block to GREATLY REDUCE carbon buildup. The barrel is expected to last as long as any battle standard M4/M16 weapon system, and the internals are (continued) ----->

@banx9211 nah its not. it is the swap to sub-sonic ammo that reduces the actual noice, not so much the surpressor.
