Full metal jacket related comment: Leonard is Animal Mother. The two characters played by two different actors actually represent the personal duality within private gomer pile. Leonard starts out soft, innocent, caring, gentle, empathetic, and good natured. But the marine corps wants killers. Leonard is thus born again hard as Animal Mother. The suicide scene is only a dream sequence portraying this ego death. Joker is not the main character even though the story is told from his perspective, the reason for this is that he is the only one left alive after cowboy is wasted in Vietnam who was actually there and saw both sides of the story, from training to combat. Just thought I’d share my interpretation of the film.

These guys will heat up much faster than a SAW, so they probably won't get replaced for the heavy applications- where you mount a SAW in a gun truck, or other cupola. You could (should) argue that the 240 is still the primary gun for that job, which it is, but ime moar guns in the column is moar better. The heavier barrel and straight up having more meat definitely helps the SAW in vehicle mount roles where weight isn't a big problem.

I don’t think that knights intended theLAMG to be capable of the same sustained rate of fire as something like the 249 or 240.

The true purpose of the bipod on a belt fed gun is that when you hit the dirt, the gun will land upright and the porkchop wont get knocked off.

I wonder how well this would do to replace the M249 in service and the various M60E(x)'s floating around. The simple takedown and light weight seem to be major improvements compared to the 249 and still better than the lightened M60's, while still offering an belt-fed design unlike the philosophy behind the IAR (which I'm not entirely certain could completely replace this type of weapon). Durability would be a big thing to have to bring to the table and test, but this seems like a legitimate advancement to the LMG's of today.

I think your video of firing the G3 vs the FAL is a beautiful example for showing the advantage of the constant recoil system. You could clearly see the G3 making a really, really substantial jump upon the bolt hitting the back of the reciever, and closing back up. If it wouldn't be so deafening you could probably use it as a very uncomfortable rocking horse.

I shot an ultimax a few months ago at battlefield vegas and the hype is real. It was soooo easy to hold the sights right on the center of the target for the whole burst.

Just imagine when material science really takes us to the next level... this is going to be the next AR.

I always, always suspected that 249s were overly heavy, overly complicated, and could be both lightened and simplified, as well as being made more reliable by using clever engineering to reduce machine time, material, and failure points. Well done, KAC.

Most people don't realize that the AK is a constant recoil system when properly gassed. I have an adjustable gas piston on my suppressed 5.45 VEPR and the recoil impulse is very sweet.

Very slick fieldstrip. Nice gun. Very nice gun.

The RPM worked for the BAR which was had hip fire in mind, so makes sense they'd stick with it for this firearm. Though, the much lighter weight I'm sure it helps that much more along with the action.

I love that barrel change. Freaking sweet!

A similar role to the BAR but belt fed. Good job ;-) Reihnmetall has some new guns and ammunition coming for large IFV type vehicles that should make them cower in a defilade.

You already can. In fact a lot of times, that is the role of the Assistant Gunner or Ammo Bearer for a fixed 240 position. They set up the gun in a space where they have clear fields of fire, and the AG directs the gunner to targets, dictates barrel change frequency, and links belts together to allow for sustained fire.

It needs a carry handle on the barrel so you have something cool to grab when swapping them. Besides that, it looks about perfect in the LMG role.

Impressive indeed!

The top cover doesn't look like it's very sturdy, if one moves it a bit to fast, it looks like it could bend easily. Despite this, the guns do look super nice and interesting; I wish I could try them! :)

the 5.56x45 version or an even better 6.8x51 version would be a great replacement for the USA's current M4 and SigSauer XM7 and should become the standard service rifle across all of the military branches (Army, Navy, AIrforce, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard and Space Force)

Impressive. It will be interesting to see if any national armies adopt it in some form.

The barrel removal for a LMG is more specifically for conducting maintenance of the gas system than for swapping barrels for a sustained rate employment, as if you were using it on a support by fire line. 5.56 just doesn't have enough oomph to really do the job on SBF work, hence medium MG's like the 240 etc.

During a P&S Modcast, it was stated that spare barrels weren't often carried in as there wasn't enough ammo to shoot. An M249 has a cyclic rate of fire of 850 rpm at the high end (FM3-22.68) with a reccomended barrel change every minute. With 850 rounds fired in a minute, it can be assumed that there won't be much ammo left to shoot after a barrel's replaced.

Ian and Karl (mostly Ian) have already talked about this in their Q&A's. The expense for re-equipping the entire U.S. military with new rounds would be ENORMOUS, for a benefit ratio not nearly high enough to justify the expense of uprooting and replacing the entirety of the 5.56 industrial complex. Plenty of modern intermediate-plus rounds offer advantages over the old standby 5.56 - none of them offer ENOUGH of an advantage to be worth discarding the entire existing arsenal of 5.56 NATO standard equipment and spending banananillions of dollars on a suit of entirely new guns. That transitionary period would be extraordinarily dangerous and a blood-in-the-water weakness for a lot of nations. It'd also be a giant logistical clusterfuck of actually mythical proportions. Just not worth the hassle in any way, really.

I doubt they would favor 10mm over 9mm. You aren't really gaining all that much other than extra energy and recoil, not enough to justify replacing all of the older firearms. I think something similar to 5.7 would be much more likely, since it can zip through stuff that 10mm can't. Or something like the 7.5 FK would probably be ideal, or maybe 357 sig, 9x25 Dillon, etc. As for rifles, this "assault machine gun" for sure seems to have some promise. Another option would be one of the small framed ar10's in something like 6.5 creedmoor (or 6mm). No idea how a 9 lb rifle would be in full auto though. That would likely be more of a spr / dmr. Cartridges like the 6.5 grendel have a lot of potential too imo. I doubt we will see anything other than 5.56 or 7.62x51 for a while though.

Wow. I really hope the military adopts this--it seems like exactly the kind of thing the US Army and Marines need--lightweight, controllable, accurate, sustained fire, with quick change barrels and lots of refinement. The SAW is great and all, but it always seemed to be a very heavy and unwieldy beast that was difficult to conduct fire and maneuver with throughout an extended firefight. The IAR REALLY lacks the sustained fire to fulfill the same kind of role that the SAW does (which always puzzled me).

Every detail of this gun just looks so slick. I'd give an arm and a leg to get one of these legally, and I'm not really a full auto kind of guy.

Well hope these weapons make some traction in the military and not just specialty/Elite units. As prior military (as 10 years in a combat mos's) i have carried the 249 and 240. Was never a fan of the 249, to heavy for a 556 round and a m4/m16 could do 99% of what the 249 could do when on burst. Liked the 240 for the power but to heavy/large and front heavy. These could definitely make a big improvement.

You could in theory change the rate of fire by changing the gas system and the recoil spring. The recoil would be slightly different but still the same constant style.

I'm getting a bit of a Stoner 63 vibe from this thing, though clearly optimized for the "Light Support Weapon" role, as the British might put it. I'd have to say that LSW seems to be a good term for this thing that might be a bit less inflammatory (not that I really care, a name's a name in my book).

Is there any thermal benefit to have rails instead of mlok? I would imagine that extra material soaks up some barrel heat. Maybe a future inrange test? Mlok vs quad rail and see if the barrel gets hotter.

So the rate of fire is determined by the weight of the bolt and the spring pressure yeah? So as the gun is used and the spring wears and becomes fatigued, the rate of fire will change?

It's still the same impulse regardless of the recoil system, but with a very low max force, instead of a massive force spike due to the bolt striking the receiver.
