The whole system weighs little enough that one soldier can carry it. Also known as about half what my wife weighs, but they don't call them grunts for nothing.
Half the weight of the Ma Deuce, with enough less recoil to make optics both useable and useful. Vehicle mountable, man portable, and (wait for it)
NO setting headspace with each barrel change. And half the number of parts. Plus, it comes with rails.
This is going to be a paradigm shift in the power of a foot-powered infantry unit. Special ops, ditto. IF it is fielded properly, and proves reliable. MAN that thing is cool. Look for it around 2011.
