“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
It makes nothing but sense, at least for some units. You want/need something that has extended range and oomph over 7.62, don't want to lug around a .50. That one model breaks down and goes into a back pack obviously offers a lot to SOF. I just wonder how robust the system is under extended use and heat, but I have no doubts SOF types would have beat on it pretty good to test that. I also wonder if use of such a niche rnd is the best idea, but I suppose if/when wider adoption takes place, it's no longer niche per se.

Even weps platoons don't pull out the M2 much anymore; most are mounted. They still have them though. A lighter .50 would be the shiznit. My issue isn't doing something like this, my issues is doing something like this SOF-centric because statistically they will use it less than infantry. They should push the concept out to infantry first, unless they are using SOF as a test bed.
The sliding feed tray assembly is a significant improvement over the 240. Barrel changes look...interesting...from a crew served perspective. I can see it being a challenge to AG and swap barrels, but I have exactly zero reps doing so with this weapon and I'm likely overthinking it.
Having caliber conversions will make training at established MOUT sites and ranges easier. We ran into issues with some ranges in the first years of the move to 855A1, so having the ability to run M80 ball if needed will help overcome that potential hurdle (if it is one at all; just speculating based on the reported max effective distance and possible damage to permanent range structures).
It's a cool concept. Like the KAC LAMG that's being tested and fielded in a limited capacity, it's cool to see advancements being made in machine gun tech.
