        PKM, although lack of contracts is the only thing keeping the answer from being "Knight's LAMG"

        It was recently brought to my attention that light/medium/heavy/GP machine guns—unlike submachineguns—are classified based on how much they weigh and how they're deployed, not what caliber they're in, so I understand your confusion.

    NGSW is all about equipping soldiers with guns to deal with afghan PKMs, so PKM.
    Maybe XM250 if the trials weren't rigged.

      i really dont get their cope with pkms
      why didnt they just buy pkms of their own, or equip more soldiers with FN MAGs or something.

      is there a term for massively overcorrecting for a shortcoming that you could apply a far faster cheaper and easier quick fix for?

        The issue was overcoming differences of positioning. The problem wasn't the US lacking PKM equivalents, but rather overmatching a PKM while it's 800 meters above you while you're stuck in a valley.

          thats a tactical problem not a 'gun isnt good enough' problem. you cant solve that by making a new gun without new basic technology unless you're willing to accept massive drawbacks like heavy weight and reduced ammo.

        It's not about PKMs per se, that's just for slide decks that tactically illiterate politicians can nod along with and sign off. It's about finding a way for infantry to do their job in a battlespace where sensors and fires have gotten so good that you can't aggregate to squad level. You still need to seize and hold ground, and the fundamental requirements for doing it haven't changed, but you need to find a way to do it with infantrymen who are physically much further apart than they previously have been. The reason Generals ticked off 6.8 is that it answers questions like "How can a squad in defence spread over the area that used to be a battalion sized MDP achieve mutual support by interlocking arcs?"

          That's the newest post hoc excuse. The original justification was "556 doesn't have enough stopping power for CQB in Iraq."

            If you're going to repeat bullshit rumors by E3s who are mad that they'll have to carry a rifle instead of a PDW at least pick the right one: Afghanistan, regaining the quarter mile.

              Let's hear your explanation for that.

              Bolt actions saw a comeback in Afghanistan because "close quarter" engagements below 3 or 400 metres would be dominated by low recoiling 5.56 and grenades drowning out any fire the Taliban could muster.
              But longshot pot shots left them more enough space to melt and reengage at will.

      Not with that non-field replaceable pencil barrel.
      Either they need to thicken up that barrel, or they need to drop the suppressor concept and make them quick change.
      As is with that pissing hot 6.8NGSW cartridge its going to overheat quick.

        AK-12 should've been your first warning. The entire debacle with the real, 2015-vintage AK12 being shitcanned, the piece of shit new 2020-vintage """"AK-12"""", and of course the very fact that Russia did not have an optic-equipped rifle as a standard issue infantry longarm in the year of our Lord 2015, in the first place. Even if it was some kind of blurry, fricked up x4 fixed Soviet optic from the 1980's, Russia should have had it as standard issue by the early 2010's at least. No such luck. But there were much more serious signs of course, not just the infantry small arms.

          How fricking hard is it just to copy ACOG's for everything? For fricks sake the USSR had the best battlefield optic (PSO-1) back in the 19fricking60's and they somehow couldn't make a version for infantry? What in the absolute frick was Russian MOD even doing?

            RPK74 was repalced by PKM. No more RPK. SVD dicthed. No more SVD.

                It is ditched from the squad TOE.
                SVD are used by snipers. Its sniper squad in the battalion IIRC. Also recon platoon has several SVDs.

          Why couldn't they just scale down the PKM. How fricking hard could it be. Then they can beef the real PKM up so that it can become a true GPMG with no restrictions on quantity of fire

      Not an lmg. Was never supposed to be used to suppress with sustained fire but with accurate deliberate fire instead.

      First UOR for a dmr was rejected because l86 exists. They added a “in 7.62” requirement to get what they wanted.
