And this goes for our allies who have carried their country’s respective issued precision gas guns as well!
For those who carried the 11/12/M110 etc. on operations, and have also spent time hanging around here as the advantages with calibers, higher BC projectiles, and shooting sports like PRS have evolved, a discussion for you:
Base this off of your culmination of experience with barrel length/platform length during ground/aerial transpo, movement once on foot, movement through and/or clearing structures, yada yada, as well as lessons learned from dynamic competitions stateside... You’re about to leave out on deployment again able to take whatever chambering you could with ammo loaded with your projectile of choice, what would you choose in regards to your platform design and it’s ammo capability?
For the sake of this, don’t worry about re-supply or variables like that. All those are taken care of for the hypothetical scenario. What matters is a chambering that fits in either small or large frames and feeds reliably from reliable (and commercially available!) mags...again, you’re deploying with it.
Where would your balance point be? And you can have a small frame choice and a large frame choice as well. Keep in mind that the platforms will have suppressors just like their legacy counterparts, so factor that in to your consideration. Do you take lighter and faster projectiles that need barrel length to serve their advantage/as well as easier to spot for re-engagement but taking the length and weight penalty? Or will you take a more compact package that typically would mean larger and heavier projectiles that in turn bring increased recoil for spotting shots as well as more critical on being exact with ranging?
For what it’s worth, I have carried all three iterations of the sr25, the 12, and garrison time on the K1. Additionally, I have dabbled in PRS-type comps beginning with 308 and learning the hard way about smaller caliber advantages... I am curious to compare my ideas with others and their experiences for an upcoming project.
This is also where the 6 ARC concept blossomed from, regardless of how it turns out (think the Valkyrie).
