Army Awards SIG NGSW Contract

LE:

Camp Perry and the ITT are games and the gear used are made for playing a game. There is absolutely nothing in common between the ITT and anything resembling military tactics. The only similarity between the rifles being used is the outward appearance. Plus, the shooters are not forced to wear full kit. Guarantee you if you wear full body armor with helmets, eye pro, gloves, etc that you won't be getting into a loop sling and I think it would be impossible to get into a prone position at all with said loop sling. Let alone score the points if issued ball ammo.

LR-55

I don't think anyone is confusing a competition as a combat like environment. However, it is a controlled environment with known elements to compare the new rifle and cartridge against. The data could be very valuable.

I'd also like to see the tertiary effects of suppressor usage on an 80ksi round.
