This analysis by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons critically examines the US Army's adoption of the SIG Sauer M7 rifle and the 6.8x51mm caliber. McCollum, a recognized firearms expert, argues that the justifications for the NGSW program—extending engagement range and defeating advanced body armor—are flawed. He suggests that modern drone technology is a more effective solution for long-range threats and that advanced bullet design, rather than extreme pressure, is a better approach to armor penetration. The analysis highlights practical engagement limitations due to visibility and terrain, advocating for the role of the Designated Marksman over a universal heavy rifle. McCollum predicts the M7's adoption may be short-lived due to its inherent drawbacks.
