hellfish Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Nope. Hence the "X" designator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellfish Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 It's possible, but yeah, it hasn't gone into serial production yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I just googled the weapon since I was unfamiliar with it. Half the rate of fire of the old Bowning, eh? But with superior optics. Almost sounds like an automatic heavy sniper rifle! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Half the cyclic rate (which is still 5 rounds a second) but the same sustained rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudel.dietrich Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Something landed on my desk about this weapon today. Trials have gone well and it is extremly well liked and production once approved by the proper people will start. It also stated a few might be sent to Iraq/Afghanistan for field testing to see how they hold up and if any pre production changes might be made. I will keep an eye on it and see if their is any chance of these being fielded during 2007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
