@0megakill Better familiarity with controls- easier to move to another weapon which requires similar muscle memory
-
@MrMutterficher how much do you think it would cost to switch systems.
But the US are looking for a new standard infantry rifle.
-
money,money and money is why we still use the M16 series
-
From what I hear, Bullpups are harder to reload due to the placement of their magazine
-
i do not understand why we are still using the M16 and M4, they are proven systems but now seem out dated. the familiar controls that relate to the SCAR system would give our troops the ease of switching
-
Ease of use, familiarity, and training. The closer it is to the AR platform, the easier it is for soldiers to pick it up. Most SOCOM guys have drilled into muscle memory AR controls.
-
Its a sexy rifle, although I wonder why it wasnt made in bullpup configeration as from what i understand it helps weapon stability. I've used an SA80A2 which was bullpup and found it better than a regular type of rifle, can anyone think of why they didnt do it beside design limitations?
-
the two advantages of the reciprocating charging handle are considerable though.
it greatly simplifies the assembly of the bolt and it acts as a forward assist if needed.
-
No real advantage...you can use it as a forward assist I guess.
With that said, plenty of great rifles have one. AK's, Sig 5xx, m14, and so forth.
i think it looks sweet in black. and i enlsited in the Marine Corps and i leave for boot 6 July 09. i KNOW ill never see the Corps with this great weapon. if they make it with a 6.5 or 6.8 SPC round its almost perfect
