Pelotón español (o sea squad) o platoon del U.S. Army (sección en España) ???? Si es lo primero creo que es conveniente una munición unificada entre los fusiles y las llamadas SAW. Como arma de apoyo a nivel de sección (platoon) es otra cosa pero quizás un 338 sea demasiado potente para ametralladoras que tienen que hacer fuego sostenido y los cañones sufren, ... pero todo puede ser.Después, como arma de apoyo: escalar al equivalente a .338, tanto para paco como para ametralladora de pelotón
Era por decir alguna fecha cualquiera. Posiblemente sea tarde más porque el 2025 está a la vuelta de la esquina, pero la verdad es que no tengo ni idea.Fecha: 2025 me parece incluso temprano, a menos que textron, GD o quien sea hagan una labor de lobbying épica

Technically, the 416 didn't beat the SCAR because we legally had to refuse the offer of FN Herstal, due to commercial irregularities.
Without the mistake made by FN Herstal, the SCAR would have won, mainly because of the very good FN "smartcore" that could track and discriminate any shot or dry firing of the gun.

It truly amazes me how many contracts - in all manner of fields, not just small arms - are lost due to some procedural failure; basically, carelessness.
The UK Sharpshooter competition was a case in point: the favourites were eliminated when they delivered a 20" barrel rather than the 16" specified.
For every bid, I would give a senior manager the task of contract compliance, constantly checking to ensure that the proposal being developed precisely complied with the requirements of the purchaser. If they ask for documentation in Greek on red paper, that is what they should get (and in really good Greek too, not via Google translate!). The cost of such compliance is peanuts compared with the value of a contract.
Textron Shows off New 6.5mm Case-Telescoped Carbine
POSTED BY: MATTHEW COX SEPTEMBER 27, 2016
Textron Systems unveiled its new 6.5mm case-telescoped carbine at Modern Day Marine 2016.
The weighted model represents Textron’s latest effort to develop a new age of infantry weapons that fire weight-saving, case-telescoped ammunition.
Textron has made significant advancements in this technology with its Light Weight Small Arms Technology, or LSAT – an Army funded program that has so far yielded working lightweight machine guns in both 5.56mm and 7.62mm.
The new 6.5 CS carbine emerged out of an intermediate caliber study Textron conducted in 2014, according to Ben Cole, project engineer.
Currently, the empty weight of the mock-up carbine is 8.7 pounds. A magazine loaded with 20 rounds of case-telescoped 6.5mm ammunition adds one pound. An M4A1 weighs 7.74 pounds empty and about 8.74 pounds with a loaded 30-round mag.
Case-telescoped ammunition is about 40-percent lighter when you compare it to the standard brass ammo in the same caliber, Cole said.
The 123 grain 6.5mm has a muzzle velocity of about 3,000 feet per second, Cole said.
Comparatively, the 62 grain bullet on the M855A1 has a muzzle velocity of 2,970 feet per second, according to U.S. Army data.
“If you take this 6.5mm bullet at our muzzle velocity, it’s 300 percent more down-range energy than the M855A1,” Cole said. “So for a minimal weight gain, you would have significantly more down-range lethality.”
Textron officials hope to have a working prototype to begin testing early next year, Cole said.
“We are trying to go after the next requirement for soldier rifles,” Cole said.
Una bala de 8 gm. (el doble que la de 5,56mm SS109) a 915 m/s (casi la misma velocidad) .... excesivamente potente para fusiles??ATENCIÓN A LAS CIFRAS: 123 grain, 3000fps. Si son correctas, la energía en boca tiene que estar más cerca del 7,62 que del 5,56. A cambio, el peso estaría más cercano al 5,56
