I mean the army already got the new xm7, I don’t think big unc Sam gonna worry about damaging old m4s, specially when he be leaving equipment in the Middle East cause it’s more ā€œcost effectiveā€ to leave it and buy new ones than to ship it back

worthy heart
#

The xm7 most likely won't be

#

The m4 will still be the primary rifle

#

The xm7 has too many issues to be a main fighting rifle

stone niche
#

It’s getting switched to 7.62 cause of it

worthy heart
#

Still

#

I very much doubt it's really going to see wide spread adoption

#

The gun itself fills a much better smaller role than a large one

#

If anything the rifle has received nothing but negativity

old portal
#

Fuck the M7/6.8. Horrible decision made by ppl that’s never been engaged in a sustained gunfight

plucky sphinx
#

Will probably just be used as a battle rifle or fill a dmr spot

#

Needs to be a DMR at best. It’s not a proper fighting rifle

Any recommendations for a backup reddot on a rifle?

Honestly RMR since it’s one of the smallest footprints available

#

Shit our DMRs were 50 year old M14s lol

worthy heart
#

Like a good proper ebr is 1 moa if not less

#

So it's kind of shocking that a gun at a comparable price

#

Has better accuracy on a older system

#

Than this new gun

#

Does have the potential to be a DMR or at least a battle rifle

#

But even then like other battle rifles that are somewhat comparable. Still have better accuracy

#

Even the ones I don't like

Minute of Man

worthy heart
#

Like I still think the project still has potential to fill niche rolls but

#

With all of the data kind of coming out

#

The project. I won't be surprised if it gets canceled

#

Classic military spending at its finest

lusty kestrel
#

50 failed projects for 1 that works

#

(and shit just costs like 100x the price)

worthy heart
#

Completely misunderstanding it

#

We have the highest military spending in the entire world

#

If we cut it in half it would still be the highest

#

The difference is we're constantly using our budget on different projects and spendings to create and make new weapons that may succeed or not

worthy heart
#

Plus, if you don't spend that spending well, odds are that budget might get taken away from you so you have to justify that spending

worthy heart
#

It's also a way for higher ups when the new administration comes in to use it as a way of I did blank. You should keep my job instead of replacing me

#

Not every project that the military invests in is going to be a winner. I think we all know that, but also it's part of the reason why so many countries are constantly keeping an eye on what the United States is doing

#

Because the stuff we design and make tends to reflect on other countries and other countries tend to copy

it is the most used tank at this point

thats literaly more then some bridges allow i think (small ones)

yea

#

or just IFV's in general

lusty kestrel
#

clearly the usa wants a light tank/lightish tank given they made 5 programs

#

or more

fading heart
#

besides the abrams though, we need to get a new tank

worthy heart
fading heart
#

abrams is great but made for a different time

cause we have had many programs to replace the m4

abrams is fat as fuck

in the end it really doesnt matter

more engine issues and armor

#

it is infamously a gas guzzler

and the hull armor has barely been updated in the 40+ years in service

US tanks are the way they are because of how we fight and how our terrain is

same with russian tanks

also seriously no high explosive on most western mbts?

#

lol

fading heart
lusty kestrel
#

no?

#

like multi purpose heat wont be as good against infantry as he

fading heart
#

in some cases sure

#

but again canister, MPAT HEAT and the newest round (i forgot the name) all do very good jobs at turening infantry into misrt

lusty kestrel

#

sure, thats why we have the other rounds

#

or MGS

lusty kestrel
#

what is mgs

fading heart
#

machine guns

lusty kestrel
#

oh machine guns

#

yea

#

still not as good as he tho

fading heart
#

i remember it now

#

AMP rounds for the abrams

#

very effective

#

better than HEAT, MPAT etc

#

still new though i dont think its quite into widespread use yet

lusty kestrel
#

he with metal balls

#

?

fading heart
#

yes turns out specialty rounds that detonate at the perfect time with precision and the same if not more firepower than HE or other proprietary rounds is very effective

# real thorn I never really got the point of laser-cut crap, most pouches look like shit on i...

It’s not my favorite, but I like laser-cut sometimes. The MSV is a favorite of mine for laser-cut rigs. However, I do have my own rig I made myself. It’s similar in appearance to a JPC, but I added arm plates
The arm plates are sewn into the straps so it’s a bitch to put on, but i wear it for style points when doing cosplay
It can hold actual plates and it is made of Kevlar, but I don’t actually outfit it with plates

real thorn
#

also, self-made rig sounds interesting, got any photos?

Nah, not yet

# real thorn right, any noticeable weight difference between laser cut and regular MOLLE?

Can’t give an accurate assessment. All my real kit time was in old interceptor Molle vests with dozens of pounds of shit for combat operations. I now own a single laser cut PC that I use mainly for working out with a small chest rig of ammo for additional weight when training so the two experiences are vastly different make an education opinion on the differences

hand pouches off the side?

worthy heart

This literally goes for any rig system it's self explanatory

worthy heart
#

Because it also leaves room for another rig system

#

Or front pouches

#

It also just balances easy and they baste it off the alice system

nimble spire
#

So smersh is just load bearing and not meant for tactical use, so stuff like mag pouches and whatnot

worthy heart
#

It was used throughout chechnya

Still makes an appearance today

They also I believe have a Molle system version of it

#

But the majority of the time now it's not a molle system

nimble spire
#

ok i think i see the vision now

worthy heart
#

Like sometimes they would toss these over the smersh system

#

So it's even more ammo

nimble spire
#

that was kinda what i meant, like a lighter chest rig so you would have access to magazines a lil faster than it they were on the belt/sides
