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?
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.
Think this will take the AR-15 off the “Military List”?

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.)
I’m a little surprised suppressors weren’t integrated into military rifles sooner. If I fire one unsuppressed shot without hearing protection my hearing is drastically muffled for the rest of the day. I would think that avoiding partial deafness in combat would be a real advantage.
The sooner MIL ditches the M16 and friends, the sooner the gun-grabbers lose a talking point.
