I don't think this has been posted (unless I missed it )

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. 6.8 is a 762 replacement, anyone still believing it will wholly replace 556 is gonna be disappointed.

I'd be interesting in seeing a comparison between this and 6.5 Creedmoor

To be replaced by?

I still think they could have developed a tracked chassis that could take Boxer mission modules. Then saved money from the common modules (and then have access to modules developed by other countries that fit more niche requirements).

Little J - Google is your friend..... Snip Thank you for posting all that. I did do a quick Google last night, but the first answers I saw all said that no specifics were given by the Air Force... I should have looked a little harder, but my bed was calling me :shifty: I am a little surprised at th...

What are the issues with the Grey Wolf?

I could quite easily imagine them getting bog standard E-7A's, but with a plan in place to upgrade to a 'B' version as soon as possible.

Don't worry, Bob's on it... 2 days a week on Type 26, one day PIP'ing Type 45, one day on Type 31 and one day on Type 83

Erm.... Yea... OK...

Russia's ambassador to the UN has claimed that Moscow's forces have found evidence of an attempt to clear up evidence of biological weapons in Ukraine. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-europe-60685883?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=622b7a74ec5...

Would have been quite useful to have these around right about now...

If they did ever get the Septics to buy them, an AC-400m could be a useful (but specialised) buy...

A solution would be welcome, but Putin is a nutter and I fear a lot of innocent lives are about to be lost.

But maybe we should hold on to the L85's for a few more years...

There's only Sig and TV/Beretta (took over from GD), the other one pulled out. And I just can't help thinking this is a repeat of the 1950's, they're going for a full power cartridge and in a few years time they'll announce that they need an intermediate cartridge coz this one isn't suited to all th...

Interesting to see the cutaway in the video, it appears to eject when the bcg starts it's forward movement.

Travelling between hotels?

Oh, I believe there will be a place for it, just not to replace all that they are currently claiming.

One review I saw said that "it recoils like a 762 developed before the 1980's"...

But I guess I can only go on others accounts tbf.

The 6.8 is a 7.62 NATO replacement (IMHO), if you watch videos of either system they kick like mules and that's in their base configuration. Anyone who's seen the video with the Sig with the 8 inch barrel, can tell straight away that it recoils to much for cqb / urban operations. I believe that what...

What was Ray's reasons for the 14?

Nh90's subtle replacement would be likely...
