The XM5 is such a beautiful weapon, but if it is coming to replace all the m4 in 5.56, I’m just wondering about cqb combat and weight carrying … I’ve been an infantry soldier, my weapon was 556 and we had more than 35-40kg all equipped when we were on the field. I wonder how they will adapt for this kind of combat, with the bigger size and weight of the gun compared to a m4 and its ammunition, moving through buildings and rooms will be harder and will require way more strength. I was in French infantry and I still can feel the pain from my back and arms aiming every minutes and keeping the aim for long times, even though back in the days I was carrying the lightweight, short and awesome FAMAS. Looking forward for the replacement and the first feedbacks from grunts on the field. Stay safe wherever you’re from !!

I will be very interested in seeing how the use of the M5 goes down in the coming decades and how the troops respond to it. 6.8 x 51 is going to require a very different combat doctrine than what we use now with the 5.56 x 45. The average grunt is already required to carry a ridiculous amount of gear, along with their weapon and ammo. Now, you’re going to force them to carry a heavier gun, with less ammo and more recoil. I can almost hear the crates of M14’s laughing in an armory somewhere….

This isn't 1955 anymore. With the new weapons in the squad combined with the optic you have added vastly increased observation and long range engagement capacity at the platoon and company level. No need to plan engagements within 200m anymore. You are right that this will require a doctrine and mentality shift within the Infantry Branch IOT make the most out of their new enablers. If I were them I would start leaning heavily on the Armor and Cav to start looking over their homework.

Agreed. The West has 5.56 stocked across the board, and I doubt we will convince many US allies to all convert their primary rifles to something else 'because why not?' If the USMC brought back M-14's for Afghanistan, you bet the US will be bringing out some good condition M4's come the next big slugfest.

Жыл бұрын
Idk about this 6.8 round. If it hits with more energy and is lighter than at least the 7.62, then I say yeah adopt it. That way it's at least an improvement over one type of ammo. However, you can't beat 5.56 for how light it is. I think there's still some kinks to be worked out in regards to adopting the right intermediate caliber. Until it's figured out, I'd say we should go with polymer cased telescoped 5.56, 7.62, .50, .300 Win Mag, and whatever else to save 40% on weight and reduce muzzle flash and barrel heat. Then, perfect the weapons we already have, ie fully ambidextrous m4's/ m27's, side opening m240's, lightweight m2 browning, etc. That way we'll be set until we're truly ready to choose an entirely new caliber.

Also how new caliber suppose to work in logistics global standards of NATO - 5.56mm. Don't like SAW? Stoner had better, cheap, light weight machinegun that reliable and troops will love it - Stoner 63, but army as always says - nah, we spent $ taxpayers on new, same design, just looks new
