Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Army might have found its new rifle in Colorado Springs garage

Quote:
The Army adopted its battle rifle in 1963 and has spent 55 years looking for a replacement for the M-16 and its variants.

They might have found it in Martin Grier’s Colorado Springs garage. Grier, a self-described inventor who has worked at a local bed and breakfast, built the new “ribbon gun” with a hobbyist’s tools. It looks like a space-age toy drawn by a fifth-grader.

But goofy origins and cartoon-looks aside, this could be the gun of the future. The Army is studying Grier’s gun and has ordered a military-grade prototype.

The specifications are incredible, four 6 mm barrels cut side by side within one steel block. New ammunition blocks fired by electromagnetic actuators that could theoretically give the weapon a firing rate of 250 rounds per second.

And then there’s the feature no soldier would turn down. “It’s called a power shot,” Grier said.

And he’s not apologizing for the rifle’s humble origins in a Colorado Springs garage.
“All the best stuff comes out of somebody’s garage,” he said.

That is a great story good for him.
I saw a picture of John Browning's shop and it looked like the city dump crap everywhere piled high. For those vehicle and mechanically inclined good article about the U.S. SOGs buying off road vehicles for front line action. $$

How much does each charge block weigh? Even if each block weighed 1/4 pound, who is carrying all that weight?

Nothing new here. Go look at history and every one of those things has been put in guns before. The "block"? Lots of percussion cap rifles used them. Electronic trigger? Remington tried this with their electric fired Model 700 and others and it died in the market place is Mayfly years. Multiple barrels? Fired one at a time or all at once? Too many to list. Neat idea? Sure. New? No.

Read an article the other day of a prototype weapon the Army is real serious about. It will to be determined between a 6.5 and 6.9 cal. their not sure which just yet?
Think I will send them a pict. of my 1760s French musket and see what they say.

US Army has reportedly selected the six companies it wants to submit prototypes for its 'Sub Compact Weapon' program.

Angstadt Arms
B&T USA
Global Ordnance
Shield Arms
Sig Sauer
