The glorious XM7
(sh.itjust.works)
Isn't this comic from the Nazi guy?
Yes, Stonetoss, who is a nazi.
New round
More reloads
But muh anti armor
The .277 Fury is an interesting cartridge. Since the full power cartridge is a steel/brass hybrid, I am not quite sure it's economical for me to reload. However, since it goes up to 80k psi, I am not sure I would even want to reload that brass.
Still, a 135gr bullet traveling at 3k ft/s is no joke. I am super curious to see how body armor holds up.
Ideally, it won't.
Right that was the whole philosophy behind it I thought.
XM7 is no longer experimental and is just called the M7 now.
Still xm7

The weapons and optics will drop the “X” in their names once fielded.

And it’s not technically fielded yet.
Jokes aside I think the point of adopting the XM7 is so our rifle is in the same caliber as the XM250. Thing is light as hell for what it is.
True the MG is the star of the NGSW show. I could see the rifle being a dmr style role in a squad. Hits harder, reaches farther but it isn't given to everyone.
Don't repost Nazi comics.
We're just liberating them! The meme is fine even if the guy is not
No... it's still spreading that asshole's content.
at the very least he isn't credited, so that's something.
The reason the m4 is a smaller cartridge is that its predecessor had serious over penetration issues. Ideally the bullet will stop inside of the victim.
The XM7 will have seriously worse performance due to over penetration and other ballistics, not to mention heavy and limited ammo. Maybe it will fare better against armor, which would be good in a hypothetical matchup with a comparable enemy, but that is unlikely to occur any time soon.
At this point everyone has access to body armour, might as well adjust our weapons to this new assumption.
More uggaduggas per boolit, duh
This is first highly technical comment I've understood.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
