1st US Army Unit to receive new long guns...

Ya know, maybe if they would teach things like marksmanship and how to man up to handle a rifle, they wouldnt need to spend billions in tax money they dont have on a *next gen* weapon

Gotta keep their lobbyist busy along with all the military industrial machines. Only good thing here is see is cans on the end of all these weapons, something for us to point at with our ass wipes in DC. I guess the ear plug thingy didn*t work so well.

Don't fret over the price, Lord knows the government won't be. Now sit back down and pay your "fair share".


I definitely want a rifle that shoot that round, I am hoping a less expensive AR10 based rifle will be available and the bullets will get below $5 a shot. LOL

there are a couple ar10s available in this caliber but some cant use the full power rounds cause of the increased pressure. moriarti armaments claims they have tested the high pressure 277 fury and the standard 277 ammo in theirs. not sure how reliable their stuff is.

Hmm.... Heavier gun, heavier ammunition, less capacity, more recoil. Sounds like a winner.

I guess Level 3+ plates are outdated now......

You are thinking rationally. You need to not do that when dealing with elected officials.

In this case, THEY will be pointing out that suppressors are "weapons of war", and have no place in the hands of civilians.

It's happening and no going back. The Russians and Chicoms are fielding body armor in their front line troops and 5.56 doesn't cut the mustard with that.

M4 is going to remain in service for decades and troops that need a rifle but are not front line will have those for personal defense.

unless you are in other countries where suppressors are considered a common curtesy when shooting. i am very jealous of other countries that can buy them without the year long wait and extra 200.

Thanks, I found those as well when searching. I think it will be a few years before getting a rifle to handle the full power rounds as well as REASONABLY priced full power rounds to civilians.
Like many other things it will be a wait and see, in the mean time we can start saving for the expense I guess.
