277 Fury - 6.8x51 - Has the military lost its mind?
This video discusses the new 6.8x51 (.277 Fury) cartridge being considered for adoption by the US military. It highlights the potential use in a General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) and also in new infantry rifles like the Sig SPEAR and Raptor. The creator expresses skepticism about the military's choice, drawing a parallel to the mid-60s decision to drop .308 for infantry rifles due to recoil concerns, suggesting the new .277 Fury might generate similar or greater recoil.
