Basic idea, good. 5.56, bad. Have the Marines learned NOTHING about terminal ballistics in the past half century?

Yeah, the LWRC IAR is a great replacement, but i doubt they will even look at them. Their M6A2 is also a great replacement for the m16’s come in 5.56 and 6.8 flavors. i think they should uprgrade to the 6.8 SPC round. for the same amount of ammo, only about a 3–4 pd increase. But the 6.8 SPC round will take a man down much quicker than the 5.56 ever will.

yeah the LWRC Infantry Automatic Rifle, seems that they don’t want a small company to get the job of making it, they will only out source to the big boys. T-f#cking-ypical.
The stats quoted in the above article describe LWRC’s product.

Didn’t Barret make a replacement for the SAW? It was on future weapons
