Magpul should design some variants of it like the XM8. Such maybe as the ACR LMG, ACR SMG, ACR Sniper maybe? I wonder what it would be like with a .50 BMG in it lol. They should experiment and maybe they will find something outstanding.
if I were to guess, that red box calculates ROF. It's not like he's shooting semi-auto where he can calculate FPS(don't rant on me b/c of my name, I have knowlege of this stuff, I own real firearms too.)
alright im confused,i read some articles on a gun website that the acr/masada has had its charging handle moved forward,is true or is there two variants? a civil and for law enforcement/military
Hot damn, we don't even need M249s anymore, do we? If Magpul made a Beta-C-type magazine and improved upon the internals to withstand a higher cyclic rate, I bet this'd make a damn fine SAW.
love the masada is the one used in teh vid grey or black cause the mag is black and in contrast it looks grey, or is it the glare cause i wanna know the colors it comes in for when the civilian rifle comes out.

He's shooting into a factory gun testing box thing. It has a waterfall thing in it that stops all the bullets and deposits the fragmented bullets in a lower chamber. The rounds just fly out and hit the floor near their feet.
Why is the ARC going to be so V- HIGH to buy. In a market that's being flooded with better made rifles. Be they piston operated or not ,Even the best made rifles are dropping there price because of the markets down turn.Sure many people will want one including me. Just not at that price ,After what we where told it would be.Most forums I have seen says the ARC rifle is just to high. Please make it affordable for us counting our pennies & dimes.I really do like it features.
Both the HK416 and the ACR use a gas system based upon the AR18. As such both the 416 and the ACR are similer in heat generation around the gas block.
We have other videos posted of the rifle after over a 1000 round run through rapid fire and the system runs fine.
@Magpul Whats that ''Danger'' written box thingy u guys shooting at? And isnt there a gas piston etc. in the HK416 unlike the older versions of the m4 which used the gas to recycle the mech but not a piston?
@ekici123 The difference is that Eugene Stoner's AR-15 rifle uses the expanding gases to push the bolt back and cycle the action, whereas the HK416 uses the gases to push a PISTON that in turn pushes the bolt back and cycles the action.
Basically, a piston system introduces an intermediate step between the powder and the bolt, hopefully making it take longer for the firearm to be fouled enough to misfire or slamfire.
@ihmen Oooohhh you just got TOLD by Magpul themselves! Haha just joking. Hey if anyone from Magpul looks at this I was reading an article in Firearm blog on the Q & A and it was said you guys where releasing the civy version late next year for 1400$, but the article was out in 07, I haven't heard about anyone getting there hands on one, any projected release date?
You dont know what your talking about. Stop getting your information from Future Weapons. Both rifles can overheat. Both are based off the same gas piston system. Both the ACR and 416 are less likely to overheat the bolt and receiver than a standard AR15 M4/M16 due to not circulating gases back towards the receiver.
@li7in6 with gas piston systems the bolt carrier group and recievers wont heat at all, however the gas block will take all the heat and can badly burn skin with a slight touch only after a 30 round dump.
@li7in6 yeah i guess it just reflects the shooter. shooting at a higher rate of fire id take a gas piston but i wouldnt ever shoot that way so a well kept direct impingement AR suits better for me. plus weight is huge for me and a gas piston AR is heavier
@JSwanny1030 For infantry, having a rifle that is not as likely to jam due to dirt, dust, and lack of cleaning is a major advantage regardless of the shooters rate of fire.
@JSwanny1030 DI get hot every where I fire 100 rounds in semi auto you cant hold the hand guard but a piston I can hold all day but i would never want to touch the piston cup
not really whats revolutionary about it? the piston system isnt different, the round sure isnt new, the interchangable barrells sure arnt new, what is revolutionary? the gun is decent but not a good replacement for the m4 which has no need for replacement
the m4 is a solid rifle that only gets better with age.its problems are more associated with controlled error not the gun. the only reason companies want a new gun to replace the m4 and m16 is so they can make money not so they can help the troops. also have u ever fired a gun or an m4 for that matter? do u own one? because if u dont it doesnt matter how much research or rants about the gun u hear unless u test it out 4 ur self. personally i own an ar 15 which shoots the 6.5 grendel
The M4 has many problems. Lack of Ambidextrous fire selector, Mag release, And has a Charging handle which restricts the use of cheek rests. I own a AR-15 Fully automatic with a Class-3, And I have been to Iraq an used the M16 more than you will ever shoot your AR-15.
@TheUSMCE4 i thought it was because of the price of the alternative, and we didn't want to invest in something that would give foreign countries our money and power over our armament
@Specizripn AR-10. It's the prototype of the AR16, it's actually a rarity. There's also M14 which is somewhat related used in Vietnam, and is calibered in 7.62 and has great accuracy, is used as a sniper rifle system called the M21.
also the gun can be changed around to fire different rounds. its the shooters choice really. its the M4 with everything you wish it could do that it couldnt before =)
Yea, that was a 5.56. The 7.62 is powerful, but lacks the kenetic energy and accuracy of the 5.56. Thats were the new 6.8 comes it. It has the stopping power of the 7.62, and the accuracy, and speed of the 5.56. Amazing little round.
wait i thought the 7.62 had more kinetic energy isnt that why they are creating the 6.8 for more accuracy. I mean that makes perfect sense to me since the 6.8 would have almost the same kinetic energy of a 7.62 but the accuracy of a 5.56. thats why they readopting the m14 into the army. Its because the 7.62 round has better stopping power. Thats why they would love rifles like the ebr.
they chose the 7.62 because it can deliver more stoping power from a greater distance. the 5.56 is much more accurate and travels 3 times faster but doesnt doesnt have the one shot kill capabilities of the 7.62.
OHHH yeah, the main drawback of the 6.8spc is the $1 per round kick in the balls to shoot it. The ammo price drove me to a 5.56, but yeah the 6.8 blends velocity and energy(stopping power)
the 6.5 grendel is much better than the 6.8spc and 5.56. has the same knockdown power as the ak47 and can touch out 2 1500 yards easily just like their moto says at alexander arms if u can see it u can hit it. u should get a grendel i have one and im in love with it.
I hear ya brother the 223 does get the job done but the other guy is right.The 5.56 is a weakling.Ive seen insurgents in the sand box take 5,6.7 rounds to the torso before they were nuetralized.
Damn, that's not good. Do you know if they were on adrenaline? cause I heard enemy combatants get that shit in their system, and it keeps them going a little bit more.
That is 900 rounds a minute right there. I think it uses the same special piston as the HK416. It fires as fast as the HK416, and probably stays as cool and clean.
It's better to have something made in the US than imports! At first the XM8 came out it was darn impressive...years later well...it's just not versatile enough. ;]
yea that's why the socom forces adopted the scar rifle because of its low rate of fire. it conserves ammo espcecailly when you're in hostile territory
Looks as god as any other design to replace the M4, not like it really needs replacing, but, whatever. We'll see what bushmaster does with this little beauty. On a side note, Bushmaster screwed with the name, Masada sound much cooler than ACR.
that rate of fire is too fast for a rifle, maybe for a belt fed light machine gun but either reduce the rate or put on a 3 round burst. Soldiers are going to have trouble controlling ammo use and heat stress, even if they can control the extra recoil of the faster rate.
Most soldiers typically only go full-auto on their rifle when they're laying down suppressing fire for crossing a road (or some other type of danger zone) or when they're in dire trouble. Semi-automatic and/or three shot burst fire are the norm for engaging individual enemy personnel. A high rate of fire doesn't really mean much as well-trained soldiers won't spray a 20 round burst at a single enemy soldier. Well-trained soldiers know how to conserve ammunition and get the job done.
One thing that Magpull didn't do is reduce the rate of fire for the weapon. FN reduced the ROF for the Mk16 and 17 to maximize control over the recoil so I'm thinking they dropped it around 600 rounds per sec. which is just a bit more easier to control
if thats the whole clip then it shootts fast i havent tested it myself but if u custom create add rails and grips (if u have gun only rear and front sight) suppreser and optics it coould be one of the most efficent and acurate wepons in history
dude...shut the fuck up, making this huge statements "most accurate weapon in history" oh give me a fucking break! No assault rifle is gonna come close to that.
The M16 may not be the MOST accurate assault rifle in history but, may come close to it. This here Assault Rifles and not Sniper rifles or Machine Guns etc. I may start thinking that the SA80 maybe more accurate than the M16 due to the Bullpup design but, maybe not. If anything the M16 is a very accurate rifle and really overall it doesn't really matter if the rifle can hit a target near a mile away. Not like you'll ever get into a firefight from that distance.
the m16 is a very accurate rifle but the 5.56 is too light to be accurate very far. they say in afganistan they chase the taliban throught the mountains but cant kill them. the ranges are too far for the 5.56 so a lot of them are getting the m14 back for the heavier 7.62 round.
The 5.56mm round, fired from an 18 inch barrel with a 1 in 9 twist, by a competent rifleman, is easily capable of striking and killing a man-sized target at 500-600 meters. If you have a 20 inch barrel with the proper load (avoid the M193 ball, go with something at least 62 grains or higher) with a 1 in 9 twist or a 1 in 8 twist (for 75 grains or higher), you should be able to do hits at 600 yards to 700 yards.
If somebody is that far away, the problem is that they are too far to effectively be seen. With the M-16 you should be able to engage anybody you can see. If somebody is 800-1000 yards away, so far away that you need a scope to engage them, they are best engaged by fire support assets, a sniper, or a squad designated marksman.
Also, the military does not use the M14 anymore, they use the M21 SWS, a semi-automatic variant of the M14. That said, the M14 (and variants) are fine weapons.
i have heard, read and talked to troops about that problem. yeah they are far away but they can be seen and the m16 cannot shoot that distance and have effective power to kill. and they are m14s because most of them are being taken out of moth balls and handed to the troops. there are newer models but the original is still being used.
Of course part of that is going to be the ammunition used. If they switch from 62 grain to 75 grain, that should give them a bit more reach along with greater punch. The 62 grain SS109 is not meant to be a match-grade marskman/sniper round, it is a primary combat round that handles a lot of things decently but no particular thing greatly.
The real star of the show is that sight.

the 7.62 will always have superior accuracy over the 5.56 because of the mass of the round results in a longer and flatter angle of trajectory.

@studtasticb Actually the 5.56 has more kinetic energy in it than the 7.62.
but the drawback is that the round will go right through and most of the kinetic energy is transfered to the target.
(Kinetic Energy =(1/2)mass x Velocity^2)
so you benefit more from increasing velocity rather than weight

Damn, that's not good. Do you know if they were on adrenaline? cause I heard enemy combatants get that shit in their system, and it keeps them going a little bit more.

They use adrenaline,heroine and another drug called cot which is chewed like a licorice root.

That is 900 rounds a minute right there. I think it uses the same special piston as the HK416. It fires as fast as the HK416, and probably stays as cool and clean.

Hello Magpul,
are sure you cann batlle the HK 416 or even the XM8?

It's better to have something made in the US than imports! At first the XM8 came out it was darn impressive...years later well...it's just not versatile enough. ;]

golfer15963 3 years ago 2
that rate of fire is too fast for a rifle, maybe for a belt fed light machine gun but either reduce the rate or put on a 3 round burst. Soldiers are going to have trouble controlling ammo use and heat stress, even if they can control the extra recoil of the faster rate.
Treblaine 3 years ago
Most soldiers typically only go full-auto on their rifle when they're laying down suppressing fire for crossing a road (or some other type of danger zone) or when they're in dire trouble. Semi-automatic and/or three shot burst fire are the norm for engaging individual enemy personnel. A high rate of fire doesn't really mean much as well-trained soldiers won't spray a 20 round burst at a single enemy soldier. Well-trained soldiers know how to conserve ammunition and get the job done.
OhioGuy19 3 years ago 3
You said it best
Treblaine 3 years ago 2
One thing that Magpull didn't do is reduce the rate of fire for the weapon. FN reduced the ROF for the Mk16 and 17 to maximize control over the recoil so I'm thinking they dropped it around 600 rounds per sec. which is just a bit more easier to control

if thats the whole clip then it shootts fast i havent tested it myself but if u custom create add rails and grips (if u have gun only rear and front sight) suppreser and optics it coould be one of the most efficent and acurate wepons in history

dude...shut the fuck up, making this huge statements "most accurate weapon in history" oh give me a fucking break! No assault rifle is gonna come close to that.

It could be one of the most accurate assault rifles ever, not one of the most accurate weapons.
For it to be as accurate as an assault rifle it still has a long way to go
A10forever 3 years ago
It will only be as accurate as an M4 or M16, because it uses the same round/
dillon1278 3 years ago 2
I meant, for it to be as accurate as a Sniper rifle.
My bad.
@dillon1278
It might be more accurate, because the accuracy of a gun doesn't depend only on it's round but also on how it works, and how it's built
A10forever 3 years ago
wrong again guy. go play halo or something
joej12a 3 years ago
The M16 may not be the MOST accurate assault rifle in history but, may come close to it. This here Assault Rifles and not Sniper rifles or Machine Guns etc. I may start thinking that the SA80 maybe more accurate than the M16 due to the Bullpup design but, maybe not. If anything the M16 is a very accurate rifle and really overall it doesn't really matter if the rifle can hit a target near a mile away. Not like you'll ever get into a firefight from that distance.
Replace M16 for Scar or ACR
Gunittimothy 3 years ago
the m16 is a very accurate rifle but the 5.56 is too light to be accurate very far. they say in afganistan they chase the taliban throught the mountains but cant kill them. the ranges are too far for the 5.56 so a lot of them are getting the m14 back for the heavier 7.62 round.
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
The 5.56mm round, fired from an 18 inch barrel with a 1 in 9 twist, by a competent rifleman, is easily capable of striking and killing a man-sized target at 500-600 meters. If you have a 20 inch barrel with the proper load (avoid the M193 ball, go with something at least 62 grains or higher) with a 1 in 9 twist or a 1 in 8 twist (for 75 grains or higher), you should be able to do hits at 600 yards to 700 yards.
OhioGuy19 3 years ago
If somebody is that far away, the problem is that they are too far to effectively be seen. With the M-16 you should be able to engage anybody you can see. If somebody is 800-1000 yards away, so far away that you need a scope to engage them, they are best engaged by fire support assets, a sniper, or a squad designated marksman.
Also, the military does not use the M14 anymore, they use the M21 SWS, a semi-automatic variant of the M14. That said, the M14 (and variants) are fine weapons.
OhioGuy19 3 years ago
i have heard, read and talked to troops about that problem. yeah they are far away but they can be seen and the m16 cannot shoot that distance and have effective power to kill. and they are m14s because most of them are being taken out of moth balls and handed to the troops. there are newer models but the original is still being used.
disturbedone5009 3 years ago
Of course part of that is going to be the ammunition used. If they switch from 62 grain to 75 grain, that should give them a bit more reach along with greater punch. The 62 grain SS109 is not meant to be a match-grade marskman/sniper round, it is a primary combat round that handles a lot of things decently but no particular thing greatly.
