This video provides an in-depth review of the RM277 experimental rifle, a contender in the US Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon program. Garand Thumb, a recognized firearms expert, details its unique polymer-cased ammunition, advanced recoil mitigation system, and dual firing modes. The review highlights the rifle's potential and compares its ballistics to standard military rounds.
This review explores innovative polymer-based ammunition from True Velocity, Inceptor, Slapshot USA, and Sim-X. True Velocity's .308 Winchester offers impressive ballistic consistency with a 25-30% weight reduction. Slapshot USA's TOX 12-gauge slug and Inceptor ARX are designed for home defense with reduced over-penetration. Sim-X 9mm ammunition claims doubled velocity and reduced recoil for faster follow-up shots. While True Velocity excels ballistically, its polymer cases may deter civilian reloaders.
This review by Military Arms Channel provides an in-depth, evidence-based analysis of True Velocity's polymer-cased ammunition, particularly in the context of the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program. The expert assessment highlights significant weight reduction benefits but also details critical reliability and compatibility issues observed during testing, including case head separation in fluted chambers and light primer strikes in bolt-action platforms. The high cost and lack of reusability are also noted as significant drawbacks for commercial viability.
This video from RECOILtv features Iain Harrison testing True Velocity's 6.8 TVCM composite-cased ammunition, originally developed for the Army's NGWS program. The review highlights the ammunition's innovative construction, reduced heat transfer, and performance characteristics, demonstrated on the Knight's Armament AMG machine gun. Expert insights from Jack Leuba of Knight's Armament and Iain Harrison of RECOIL Magazine provide a deep dive into the technology and its implications for future small arms development.
