They spoke highly of it, but they DO work for Sig….even if I’d trust their judgement, regardless. Not saying I agree with it all, as I’m retiring and our teams don’t have them…though one team I was attached to had one of the sig development guys and two of their academy trainers in it. even it is put there based on a bunch of dumbasses and accountants, who never have to spend a minute in the field. how to take care of the patient that has been shot, and learn a lot of how to wound to kill an enemy combatant.īut hey, I don't work at the Pentagon or run the military.as a soldier, we just use what we were given. reinventing the wheel, isn't a solution, when just jumping up to 6mm would achieve the solution with a lot less problems.īeing a fairly extensively trained corpsman, ya learn alot about bullet wounds. More desk jockey intelligence level results.ĭon't see what a 6.8 SPC delivers that a 6 x 45 won't. Makes me wonder why they issued a 22 caliber bullet to troops in Vietnam, vs a 100 to 105 grain bullet in 6mm? However the aerodynamics of that bullet vs the 55 grainer in 22 caliber, it is much flatter shooting and delivers a substantial amount of energy, compared to the 22 cal 55 grainer. Just short of double the weight of the old 55 grain round, at 400 fps less MV. With 24.5 grains of Benchmark, or 25.5 grains of AR Comp, it is shooting the 6mm, 105 gr BTHP at 2750 fps. My Savage Barrel is 20 inches and made by Douglas in West Virginia with a one in 7 twist. It would require lengthening the mag well some, but that could easily be done. We didn't use the later short barrel stuff. We were always given 5.56 ammo loaded with 55 grain and 62 grain bullets in it.at like 3150 fps MV. My time in uniform was from the end of Vietnam until the end of 1982. I've been playing with the 6 x 45 quite a bit in the last 6 months and doing a lot of testing of it and its capabilities within a bolt action rifle.which the same could be done with an AR. If the military wants more punch out of an AR and are all concerned about ammo weight to be carried? I'm sure there are still things I'm forgetting.īut, when you buy something in the US, you're paying for a lot more than just the physical product in hand. Selling your wares to either gov or aftermarket requires you to provide samples and plane tickets and room/board for whoever takes it to Yuma proving grounds. And that's all before you sell the first thing. You're still spending money on rent/lease. So, again, you're still hemorrhaging money. So, uncle sugar still gets his cut of the tax there.Īnd you better still carry alot of insurance in case of anything bad happens. Well, for starters, you still have to have a firearms manufacturing license. Come by and see what our compitition is so PEE-PEE DOWN HIS LEGS AFRAID OF.Are suppressors even that expensive to manufacture, if you make them for Uncle Sugar and remove all of the bullschìt that drives costs up for the civilian market? □įor a lucrative enough defense contract, I am guessing that a big company could churn out suppressors for a lot less than they cost the rest of us to buy. Our competition knew we were open but for months told anyone who asked that we were gone with the tornado. When we finally got back open if we didn't have an item instock we sent people to our competition daily. We were with out power for a month and cooked over 300 hot meals on a bumper grill for the locals, police, rescue workers.
