The LAMG, available in 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO, retains the Stoner bolt system for reduced recoil while incorporating modern features like M-Lok and Picatinny rails, an updated safety selector reminiscent of the M249 SAW, and a left-side charging handle. The video also briefly mentions the M16A2 Service Rifle and Stoner 63.
