My body is already filled with micro plastics this ammo will do nothing but make me stronger

Potato suppressor? Military bullpup? Plastic ammo? Both open and closed bolt function? Short recoil operated? Forgotten Weapons heavy breathing intensifies

“Without further ado let’s get into it” - goes straight into further ado.

The recoil on this looks waaaay more manageable than the sig

Future VA: "Your microplastic poisoning was not service related"

This gun is extremely illegal in Canada...due to the single use plastic.

You brought up the Battle of Wanat, and it doesn't get talked about enough IMO- calling that a base is being extremely generous, it was a COP made up of Hesco barriers and Conex trailers, in a remote valley. The whole situation was really messed up, you can find the 'historical' after action report online. My friend from High School, Jon Ayers, was one of the soldiers who died in that battle- he manned a 240 until the barrel melted and then fought with his M4 before being killed. He was a great guy, funny AF, used to drive me home from JRTOC Drill Team practice. It was a 4-hour battle where they fended off an overwhelming group of insurgents firing RPGs and gunfire in almost all directions. RIP to the soldiers that died that day.

That .277 temporary wound channel was ridiculous. I was surprised how big of a difference it was from .308

Army : We want new weapon Company : Here's a new rifle Army : Is it like the old rifle? Company : not really, it is new Army : don't want it

I love that you guys brought on an expert to explain the weapon system, only let him talk for like 15 seconds, and then you were like “alright now get off my show, nerd.”

I like the idea of polymer casing - not only because of the weight-saving aspect, but also because in times of major war, metal often becomes extremely scarce and very expensive. Being able to injection mould polymer casings (or however the casings are made) means you can keep up with supply demands AND use a novel material that isn't metal. I hope those polymer casings become widespread and start getting adopted into all kinds of weapons platforms. PS: I thought you guys said you were going to test the rounds against a ballistic dummy? Did you forget or change your minds about that?

That gun is a work of thoughtful engineering...beautiful. Too advanced for the military. Thx for the demo.

The microplastics add +4 poison damage.

“The trigger is the worst trigger I’ve ever pulled, and yet I love this gun.” Basically the takeaway, and that says a lot.

This is only the beginning.

I liked this rifle back when it was in the competition, I knew it wouldn't win but I still liked it. Now I like it more.

That .277 has a very peculiar sound. Unique.

I really want a Forgotten Weapons style video in this that goes into the gas/recoil operation and the open/closed bolt mechanism.

It's a goddamned shame the Army didn't, because this was the ONLY ENTRY THAT PROVIDED FUCKING ADVANCEMENT IN FIREARMS TECHNOLOGY FUCK
