You bid at cost and then you submit your change orders for the barrel, trigger , butt stock , chassis, scope and most important the firing pin. During this process you add summer home,car and yacht for said government official over seeing the contract. Easy Peasy Japanesey.
If they don‘t make a huge profit, the sheer amount of marketing this brings them is huge.
A piston plays nicer with the suppressors the Marines and now Army are fielding.
Tell us how you really feel about the dirty running Direct Impingement design!
Yeah, there's the option of using the non-reciprocating left side charging handle.

That's something I learnt from a (very) wealthy friend.
If they can use barrel material close to Bartlein 400BB I think wear will be similar on the barrel at least.Interesting ammo. A 135ish grain bullet with 80,000 psi chamber pressure and a steel case head to handle the pressure. Supposedly about 3000fps.
.277 SIG Fury Cartridge: Everything You Need to Know - Guns and Ammo
SAAMI approved a maximum chamber pressure of 80,000psi for the new .277 SIG Fury. First unveiled in late 2019, the cartridge is the result of SIG Sauer's participation in the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) military procurement solicitations.

Take a chill pill man. We get it , you hate DI, to the point of arguing about it with no one in a thread not really pertaining to it.
This is the big question. The current wonder steels (HK) can't even handle 58-60K PSI with the M885A1 that is breaking bolts left and right. But somehow Sig with its abysmal track record is going to be able to make a gun that will not only run but not shoot itself or blow itself up at 80K+ PSI?
There is a reason this picture is used in the contracting world on both the gov and contractor side.
The Marines have their shiny new HK rifles...Big Army won't let that go unchallenged.
With what? Except for a tiny percentage of spec-ops guys the Army is still M16/M4.
The army is smart enough to realize whatever small arm infantry and close combat support use is irrelevant since the vast majority of enemy casualties are from HE and over-pressure. Unless there is a revolutionary change in weight or power per recoil/weight/durability such as caseless ammo reducing the weight of the ammo carried, its not worth changing from the M4. As a platform it is mature and damn near perfected. Materials science is not there yet or atleast not where its economically viable. There is also the physics problem in that metal cases remove heat from the weapon system.
So you spent a lot of typing to admit the Army hasn't done what you said they did.

The army has not changed their service rifle, they haven't replaced the only squad organic suppressive fire weapon for a semi auto that breaks at a rate far higher than any other weapon within the squad.So you spent a lot of typing to admit the Army hasn't done what you said they did.
The HK rifle allowed the Marines to issue suppressors to pretty much every person in combat arms. Which is a big thing.
You mean as in something like this?
The Marines already deploy drones extensively. In fact iirc the Corps was the first Service to utilize the modern UAVs. I turned down an assignment to the unit.
The fielding of a new rifle hasn't prevented the Marines from also looking into new LMG/HMGs to replace the M240/M2. Weapons utilizing the recoil reduction technology shown in the NGSW trails. They are also looking at the .338 machine gun that SOCOM adopted.
Why inflict a heavier/more expensive weapon on a squad. The AT4 works just as well as the GarlG. Which until recently was only issued to Army spec-ops/Rangers and yes Marine Raiders.
This is what happens when people with zero fighting experience talk about shit as if they know anything.
