True Velocity Ammo: 6.8 TVCM Composite-Cased Ammo

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 Q&A with Karl Lewis of LMT addresses several patron questions regarding product development and manufacturing. Key topics include potential adaptation of the Mars-H platform for 277 Fury, the rationale behind semi-auto bolt carrier groups in commercial rifles, supply chain challenges affecting MWS upper availability, and design considerations for the 308 MWS system compared to the original AR-10. Lewis also touches on LMT's participation in military solicitations.

This guide details the technique for firing the Micro Uzi in full-auto, as demonstrated by Dave Merrill and Dave Rhoden on RECOILtv. It emphasizes proper grip, stock usage, and recoil management due to the firearm's high cyclic rate (1250 RPM). The instruction highlights the effectiveness of the compensator ports in controlling muzzle rise during intense firing sequences.
