The recoil is much different.
It's like the convention for defense. So they tried copying that, basically. A bunch of defense companies after that showed up at AUSA with belt-fed 240s, link-fed, trying to, like, let me get that contract.
I got to go and test the fire that weapon. First of all, their one has like a recoil mitigation. So you barely feel the fact that it feels like a full seven, six, two round. Basically you shoot it. You could pick up those rounds and you, you know, when you pick up hot breasts, like hot, those were cold.
So I have to assume, based on the fact that they didn't win the contract and that Sig did, I just have to do the reverse math. It's got to be some issue with that, right? I have to assume that... after they fired it X amount of times that the barrels wore out faster or something. Or the plastic is melting in there or something.
I don't know what the issue was or if there was. If I had to take a shot in the dark, I would say at the very least, you're the military, you're switching weapons.
you're going to want to go with the least amount of uncertainty and switching to a polymer case would be very very different like that's are we still doing the six eight fury thing because i hate that round that's what they're doing so they're not just oh it is you look at the uh what do you call it like the documents coming out of the the u.s military has to release certain like budget documents
And we know that 2025, they're spending a boatload of money on the Switch.
The thing that's weird to me is it's a lot more recoil.
And then also you look at the Russian forces going into the fight and you're like, they don't all have body armor all the time. And how much of a factor is their body armor?
So you do not hear it. So their argument, if I were to make, if I were a steel man, their case, right? Okay. So their argument is that you've seen the fire control system on it. That, uh, computer. Sure. Like let's, let's say best case scenario.
Basically they're arguing like, okay, we've got these drones that we'll send up and we will spot the enemy at 600 meters and we're going to engage them before they can engage us. Um, And the idea that they're arguing is like with that fire control system, someone like me, who's, I'm not a great shot. I'll be able to hit someone seven, 800 meters away, whereas I couldn't before.
And that's like the whole doctrine behind it, right? Is that like, we're not doing the room clearing anymore. We're hitting them out further. I hate that.
That is the very good counter. So would you agree that that M249 replacement is pretty dope though?
yeah the yeah i think i think everyone can kind of agree that like much to outdo the 249 right we should have been rocking the stoner 63 for the past 40 years i don't know what we're doing with the saw absolutely yeah like i think that so that's the weird thing about military procurement was that it was part and partial in that okay if we're going to replace the mc so what i think will actually end up happening is that exactly what you were saying which is like
they'll give the XM7 to squad-designated marksmen, and then the M4 will still be around a bunch, and then you'll see the M249, see you later, bye. Maybe even the M240 gets replaced.
terrifying machine gun the 338 basically can replace the 50 in some instances yeah and you can walk and shoot it with my so i got to test fire that yeah i got to test fire that and shooting it it feels like shooting the 240 the recoil mitigation is a it's it feels like you're being uh gas lit by the recoil you're like did i just shoot you did i i guess i did it's like brr
So I can stop wearing body armor and just start wearing.
The thing I feel bad about that story is I feel like I'm just going on and on. No, dude.
I'll tell you guys sometime about the drone mission, too, which is the one that was actually... I was way more scared on that one. I'll tell you some... If you guys want to hear about it sometime, it's like the... You made me a brief on the after show.
So it's funny you say that because that's exactly how I feel about it. I feel like what we're witnessing, it's always the sword versus the shield, right? And when there's a new sword, whatever that is, that has the advantage for whatever time it is. But then what you're talking about, once the shield catches up, It's there. And I would argue the same thing you're saying.
