US Army JUST REVEALED A NEW PRIMARY WEAPON
This video provides an exclusive first look and firing experience of the US Army's new primary weapon system, the XM5 rifle and XM250 support weapon. Attendees at Sig Sauer's FREEDOM DAYS event in Arizona were among the first to shoot these NGSW (Next Generation Squad Weapon) prototypes. The XM5, an MCX SPEAR variant chambered in 6.8x51mm, is presented as the potential replacement for the M4A1, while the XM250 is positioned as the successor to the M249 SAW. The author shares their impressions on the recoil, controllability, and overall feel of the XM5, comparing it to .308 caliber rifles and noting the significant ballistic advantages of the new 6.8x51mm cartridge. The description also highlights the user-friendly ambidextrous controls and improved trigger.
