Hopefully, one day suppressors will be a part of every Army and Marine rifle/carbine.
You don't get rid of the supersonic crack, but you do reduce the report to below hearing safe in most cases.
Oooh. Where can I get one?
75 years after the British developed the .280 MM (7.2 MM) for the EM-2 rifle.
Will 6.8 MM become a new NATO Standard or the US is going alone on this?
Hopefully, one day, suppressors will be part of every hunting rifle as an option without the tax.
A total of three contracts were issued for prototype development. Down selects will follow. Sig is the only one with a traditional round, the other two will propose a composite round with no metal casing.
I still can’t believe that the Republicans didn’t at least try to pass the Hearing Protection Act when they held both houses.
Think this will take the AR-15 off the “Military List”?

Commercial customers have footed much of the development burden but the Sig products have evolved to the point where they really do have some significant advances over current tech.
They are one of the few major companies who have aggressively pursued suppressed weapons from an in house, integrated system perspective
Interesting to see how this pays off for them.
Major disappointment was Sig failure to successfully update the Swiss 55x product line. For some reason, Sig USA never seemed to be able to replicate the Swiss magic on those products which is a real shame
You can't get one. Limited to military and law enforcement - after all can't let the citizens right to keep and bear arms go uninfringed. Those uppity citizens might just get the idea that they aren't serfs and chattels of the government if they were allowed parity of weaponry with law enforcement.
Are these going to be manufactured here in NH?
This should only surprise you if you naively think that Republicans are actually conservatives.
The leftists probably have Civil War era muzzle loaders listed as “weapons of war that no civilian should be allowed to own.”
There is a long list of stuff the GOP Congress failed on:
All in all they were pretty pathetic. Paul Ryan got a tax-cut bill in, where the corporate savings were permanent, but the individual ones time out after a few years. That's about all he managed.
You get the feeling he really hated us, the GOP voters, and was laughing as he did nothing to advance the agenda that Trump ran on, or anything that the GOP has been promising for years.
And, of course when the House did get something to Senate they failed to push it all the way through.
Suppressors belong in the home, on any defense weapon. Period.
Never! AR-15 is gun. Gun is bad. All guns bad (except in the hands of a totalitarian police state.)
The 6.8 SPC has been around for a few years and has its fans.
A wildcatter came up with the .277 Wolverine, which is a resized .223/5.56 case containing the same bullets at the 6.8 SPC (basically lighter .270 bullets than are typically used in the .270 Win.
That conversion only requires a barrel change, where as the 6.8 SPC requires a new both and new magazines. (Making it a lot less attractive to civilian shooters with a lot of AR-15 parts lying around.)
