If you don't know about the NGSW program...

The NGSW rifles fire in the new 6.8x51mm bullet. However each of them has different methods of making the casing and as a result their own quirks and advantages. The INSANE ballistics required by the NGSW program lead to very effective results. With an average muzzle velocity of over 3000 ft/s with a 137 grain bullet out of a roughly 13-inch barrel, it’s purpose is to be able to defeat modern body armor at extended distances. It does this with a chamber pressure of around 80,000 psi, around that of a tank-cannon.

Now what if I’m not a firearms nerd and that whole paragraph just confused me? Well, to put it in simple terms, this is a bullet that’s about halfway between the 5.56 (M4/M16) and 7.62 (SCAR-H, M14) in terms of caliber, but WAY faster than both. This is a bullet that says “well the SCAR hits hard, but the M4 is fast and accurate” and then instead of compromising it just does both of those things at the same time...twice.

As I said, ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP can comment and/or message me, we're looking to expand so any expertise in any field is welcomed.
