Yes, I am a SIG man. I liked them before they got any military contracts. I own several, and all other guns are rated against my P-226 and P-220. I love the M-17. Wished they had them when i was in the military. Did not like the M-9.
I have been a SIG fan since 1998 when I purchased my first P-220. From that first pistol I now own a P-229 in 357 and 40, P-226, P-239, P-365, M-17 and M-18. The M-18 is my routine carry piece but I do rotate every week so the rest of the guns in my safe do not become jealous or feel left out.
Wow, this changes everything. Most of the industry we sell machine tools to still machines the inside baffles from stock material. If Sig is using 3D additive printing, they can design the internal guts where machining just can't do it. Great job Sig !
Is that why both the p320 & p365 had issue's and they released them anyway huh 🤔. It's funny there slogan is never settle and I wouldn't settle for one of their firearms
Game changer in many way. The rife and machine gun use the same ammo, no more two types. Then it’s a battle caliber to go at anything it hits with authority on the regular. No more spray and pray because aimed fire is the standard, 6.8mmx51 solves many shortcomings. Now the ar15 5.56mm isn’t going anywhere and same for us 7.62x51/ 308 people but the military just needed more of a good thing.
6.8x51 is a fantastic replacement for 7.62x51 (6.5CM would work equally as well, but that's too easy). The fundamental flaw in the theory of NGSW is the bulk of 6.8x51 ammo. They need to redo NGSW with high pressures and hybrid cartridge cases in either the 6mmARC or 6.5 Grendel or something very close. Remake the NGSW cartridge in the AR15 form factor and you have a winner.
Yes, exactly. NATO shouldn't have to buy entirely new weapons and magazines when they can just convert them to a new round that's deadlier but just as dimensionally compact as 5.56.
@@sixfivearms8896 Velocity and ammo weight saving. Ammo weight saving obviously for the bigger around, but velocity to crack body armour. The 6.8 from sig has roughly 25 percent more energy on target than similsr rounds of the same size, so that body armour of nations with large militaries is less of a problem. The issue is higher chamber pressure is what they want to acomplish this and that means regular rounds won't do, nor will regular rifles. Pretty sure sig's weapon is somewhere around 90,000 chamber psi, 50 cal is like 60 thousand. Oretty sure those numbers are right but it't been a while since I read on it so you might want to check
"lets replace the M9 with a gun capable of firing a round if dropped wrong." "Lets replace the M4 with an objectively worse round just to fuck with ammo weight and shite." "Lets replace the M4 with a slightly different M4"
I think this was significantly designed for Afghanistan. If we had stayed it would have been the game changer greatly influencing politics and culture change in that country.
Heavier, less ammunition, three times the recoil when compared to AR-15. Performance comparable to a heavy .308 bullet, except costs WAAAY more per round, and has to have a whole new factory built just to produce it. If you wanted to go that route, .308, is already produced cheaply everywhere. War fighters already carry about as much as they can, this will mean that they will have less ammunition in their loadout. This is a waste of taxpayer money. Are these rounds going to stay bonded together when they are stored in harsh conditions? A one piece brass case will. How long are the barrels going to last with such high pressure? It's a big mistake.
@64 64 IMHO it is simply throwing out the lessons learned from Project Salvo. Pinning down and outmaneuvering an enemy involves fire superiority, i.e. you don't put you head up when a withering hail of fire is coming it at you for fear of getting it shot off. That is the foundation of carrying lots of ammunition. I don't care what kind of body armor you're wearing, you're definitely not going to stand up to take a, "well aimed shot", when rounds are cracking off right by your person.
@64 64 who the fuck is wearing level 4 armor? Seriously last time I checked we haven't meaning the U.S. military fought anyone with that kind of kit so what's the point
I hope they get hk engineers, Glock ext, I know there’s competition but if they can optimize the rifles to the best possible ones for nato that would be awesome
Should SIG be successful beyond expectation, may I suggest leasing the facility in Huntsville, AL (next to the airport) formerly occupied by Remington. Happy to help you too.
@Sig Sauer, Inc Please make an improved Romeo Zero. Suggestions: metal housing, get rid of the polycarbonate lens, make the battery accessible without having to remove... Just passing along all the things I’m hearing in reviews that are negatives for me, and many others. You’ve knocked it out of the park with the Sig P365XL. I love that pew pew. I’d love to see you do the same with a Red Dot for the before mentioned. I don’t know if you’ll respond, but if you’d like to send me a Romeo Zero to try to prove that it’s awesome just the way it is I’ll be happy to try it with an open mind. (I had to give asking a shot. Pun intended.) Godspeed.
I hope Sig Sauer is listening. Sig owners want the best! If we wanted throw away guns we'd buy glocks. Ameicans want companies to build the best in the world. I'm tired of our classic American companies no longer having the balls and heart to compete. Toyota, Mercedes and Air Bus can suck it.
the weight reduction on the M250 compared to M249 seems really huge. not so certain if the extra weight is worth it for the M5 tho. we'll have to wait and see
So why didn't they give the MCX Spear a recoil reduction mechanism like the machine gun has? Also if the M4 length wasn't a requirement would it be possible to give the 6.8 a smaller hybrid case and still have it preform the same out a 18 inch barrel?
Were you listening? It has greater range, speed, power, and accuracy than the 5.56. And it has a hybrid metal case that makes it lighter relative to its size, so you could carry more than if it was 7.62. It has good capabilities, don't complain when the positives have the edge.
@@creatoruser736 Good for you, ...........you read the brochure. Still have to carry more magazines on your pc to make up less capacity so guess what there's still weight. The positives have not been proven with combat.
@@thh4584 So that's it? A round can have better performance but if it weighs anything more than 5.56 don't use it? New ammo can only be lighter and if it isn't it shouldn't be considered regardless of its performance? That's impossible. There has to be some give and take otherwise the 5.56 would just stay in service forever.
Sig Sauer seems to be doing it all right, except locating their factory where it would be appreciated and prosper further, e.g. Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky…..
I prefer the Glock version. Oh wait, Glock only makes that one black pistol they keep releasing twice per year while pretending it’s “new”....and perfect. 🤣😂😅

Nice. Hey guys, now that Sig will have more money than god, can you PLEASE manufacture mags for the P230/P232 again. It's not like I want them free either, but they're impossible to find except for promags... and Promags suck...
The engineers at TV actually were able to make their cartridge work at normal 7.62nato chamber pressures utilizing some creative space capacity pressure curves inside their casing. They have a promo/propaganda reel they released about a month ago showing them do barrel swaps on legacy 762nato weapons like m110s and m240s. The lack of an increase in rate of fire tells me they succeeded in keeping port pressures and chamber pressures low when they did the barrel swap on the 240. Truth be told sig very well could win but I think GD/TVC/Berreta has the better thought out design at least in the cartridge department. Of course this is just my two cents.
I would say that the GD/TV entry would be the most attractive to nato allies vs the sig where they can economically re-barrel their existing 7.62nato platforms to the 6.8TVC allowing a much easier path to nato standardizing BUT my gut tells me the DoD is less concerned with nato standardization nowadays and could care less if we chose a cartridge that either didn't work with existing euro platforms and then forcing them to change their entire arsenals to our new cartridge requiring entirely new weapon systems or force feeding SIG's proprietary designs on our allies. Obviously SIG would very much prefer the idea of being the sole proprietor of an entire class of nato ammo and weapons. Now the we in the US wouldn't be effected militarily by such a drastic change TOO much due to our addiction to trying to break our own national debt records but it could lead to some serious economic problems for some of our smaller and less economically powerful nato allies especially ones in strategic regions like Ukraine. Long story short US gun enthusiasts seem to really like the 6.8fury and it's up pressured military variant while I could see nato allies more interested in the 6.8TVC putting the DoD right in the middle of 2 competing camps. I honestly don't think texatron's bid will go anywhere but I have been wrong before.
im glad they won because the silhouette of the American soldier will still look the same; A badass Ar really represents what the American military has become Not some trashy bullpup.

Sig Sauer seems to be doing it all right, except locating their factory where it would be appreciated and prosper further, e.g. Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky…..
Congrats sig :)
Please it’s a beefed up M-4 with with a little larger ammo.
Cohen is a beast
This is a question for sig, will the spear be interchangable with a LR10/dpms lower (with a adaptor) like the mcx in 556?
Could sig make their version of a spas 12 or a benelli?
I prefer the Glock version. Oh wait, Glock only makes that one black pistol they keep releasing twice per year while pretending it’s “new”....and perfect. 🤣😂😅
@SQWIK.That's because Glock is busy supplying law enforcement around the world,as well as the a majority of civilians we handguns.😀🇺🇸🇺🇸
Does this have a star chamber as well I'm asking because I could never get the corners when cleaning ?
Sorry but H&K will always have a special place in my heart. Starting with the G36C
Both platforms are 6.8X51?
Ok. Great. What in that for us? Can you do the same for civilian guns? That would be nice not to ship guns and optics back for repairs.
What is this that I am hearing rumors of SIG making a new (M6 Bullpup)? can you elaborate?
The first clip is the Drug Enforcement Administration FAST team, not military
Remember to never arm the government with something you don't plan on releasing to us US civilians. I want a semi auto of everything you're going to be giving these people to, God forbid, eventually use on us. Remember us Sig
So, we are never going to get the p322?
Would be nice to be able to get ANY Sig gun right now, yeah, times are crazy, but why make other guns when you cant even supply this civi market????
which one would be for civilian??????
Nice. Hey guys, now that Sig will have more money than god, can you PLEASE manufacture mags for the P230/P232 again. It's not like I want them free either, but they're impossible to find except for promags... and Promags suck...

I can’t wait to break it
I wonder if True Velocity will be able to make their ammo for this or is it too high pressure?
The engineers at TV actually were able to make their cartridge work at normal 7.62nato chamber pressures utilizing some creative space capacity pressure curves inside their casing. They have a promo/propaganda reel they released about a month ago showing them do barrel swaps on legacy 762nato weapons like m110s and m240s. The lack of an increase in rate of fire tells me they succeeded in keeping port pressures and chamber pressures low when they did the barrel swap on the 240. Truth be told sig very well could win but I think GD/TVC/Berreta has the better thought out design at least in the cartridge department. Of course this is just my two cents.
I would say that the GD/TV entry would be the most attractive to nato allies vs the sig where they can economically re-barrel their existing 7.62nato platforms to the 6.8TVC allowing a much easier path to nato standardizing BUT my gut tells me the DoD is less concerned with nato standardization nowadays and could care less if we chose a cartridge that either didn't work with existing euro platforms and then forcing them to change their entire arsenals to our new cartridge requiring entirely new weapon systems or force feeding SIG's proprietary designs on our allies. Obviously SIG would very much prefer the idea of being the sole proprietor of an entire class of nato ammo and weapons. Now the we in the US wouldn't be effected militarily by such a drastic change TOO much due to our addiction to trying to break our own national debt records but it could lead to some serious economic problems for some of our smaller and less economically powerful nato allies especially ones in strategic regions like Ukraine. Long story short US gun enthusiasts seem to really like the 6.8fury and it's up pressured military variant while I could see nato allies more interested in the 6.8TVC putting the DoD right in the middle of 2 competing camps. I honestly don't think texatron's bid will go anywhere but I have been wrong before.
im glad they won because the silhouette of the American soldier will still look the same; A badass Ar really represents what the American military has become
Not some trashy bullpup.
Soo, we have ak-12 and rpl - 18 but in m4 (or scar) platform varint
I would just like to get a rifle I’ve had in order for 6 months now. I’m not a soldier but I will be using it for work purposes.
