US Special Operations Command is after a 10-pound, belt-fed 5.56 machine gun that works with high-pressure ammo and "Visual Augmentation Systems" to bring operators into the 21st Century.
The requirements and timeline are bold, but necessary if our Special Operations Forces intend to stay mobile and deadly on today’s battlefields.
In this video, we talk about:
– The SOCOM requirements
– Why they need this Flyweight Assault Machine Gun
– What might fit the bill that exists today – KAC LAMG, FN Evolys, SIG Sauer unknown?
