It's all i have for sources, though

Sadmin might be lying

SHOT Show 19 – More Details On SIG’s New 338 Norma Mag Machine Gun

Nice and shiny

Hmm 338 norma

yea, they've been looking at it for a few years now

with General Dynamics entry as well

Baby mosins

Now PSAK-74s

what a fucking year already

The 338 Norma Mag Machine Gun is 600 Rounds/m

the general dynamics example looked pretty controllable

and it was 20 ish pounds iirc

24lbs according to the wiki

Which is pretty good

22lbs now

pretty good

Is noice

can't complain about the firepower

but to switch completely over to .338 WM

nope

Did they want to phase out the Bravo?

Or is this going to be in a different role entirely

no, they wanted to replace the M2HB

on vehicles and watercraft

because it weighs less and takes up less space

Ohhhh that's going to be interesting

I think it's not a good move

the M2HB is the most casualty producing weapon in inventory

that isn't an explosive

Lol replace the m2

I think it would be an uphill battle to start with, everyone that isn't lugging it around likes the M2 if I recall
