Thoughts on New 277 SIG Fury?

[stanc]

Yea the blast force has to be at retard levels inside a room.

I keep hearing how the ar weapon platform is outdated. And to me that doesn't make any sense. It's not the weapon platform that can't defeat what they want.
It's the bullet and lack of energy on target at spec'd ranges that's out of date.

So why pay the cost for a new much more expensive ar10 sized weapon, when you could take the same case and barrel metal tech and put it in weapon platform that are already paid for and in service.

What M4/M16/M249-compatible cartridge could possibly give the desired performance?

After watching and reading all I could on this Sig 277 it's very clear they tested just the one 277 cal bullet. If they had dropped a 6.5mm bullet in that case and ran it at the same pressures, they would have been pushing the 6.5mm bullet to the military and not the 277 cal bullet.

You seem to be under a fundamental misconception.

SIG is not "pushing" the 6.8mm bullet to the military.

The Army required developers to use a 6.8mm bullet.
