NGSW and other Military Rifle R&D

I hope GD wins just so we have a bullpup

Dear God no, bullpups are answers to questions no one was asking. In exchange for longer barrels we get shittier trigger pulls, worse magazine changes, an utter inability to show clear or clear failure to extract malfs without disassembling the rifle, and a chance of sweeping your own support hand with the muzzle. Yay.

The GD one doesn't seem as bad as other bullpups.

I just hope we don't have a repeat of what the Army did when it was told to adopt the M-16. Why people were not arrested for that debacle is beyond me.

The Army is going to start woth 100k going to front line units and slowly replace the rest over the years
