Why does XM5 6.8mm (MCX-Spear) use Lancer L7AWM but not PMAG 20rd mags?
Just curious why XM5 was using Lancer L7AWM instead of 7.62 PMAG20. Does anyone know inside scoop? Is Lancer mag with steel liner more durable for 6.8mm?
I was thinking Pmag is now USGI for 5.56 so procurement should be no issue. And XM5 uses Magpul SL-K stock, so Sig is also partnering with Magpul on XM5 already.
On the other hand, is Sig going to come up with its own M5 mags? Seems too lucrative of a procurement contract to give out.
