The recoil looks to very tame, but nothing about that platform looks "light weight". The squad version looks like it's 5' long and the vehicle mounted version looked to be over 6'!!! The cyclic rate is very tame too which should make it fairly accurate. -

It looks like an amazing weapons platform and I supposed it is light compared to a MA2 lol.Comment

They say it weighs half of a M2HB, and those weigh 90lbs if I'm not mistaken. So by that metric it's probably less than 45lbs."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Yup I just looked up the wieght on both of them. It's a good 40+ lighter....pretty impresive especially with the lack of recoil.Comment

It doesn't look like a standard .50bmg cartridge either. It appears to be some sort of wildcat or proprietary cartridge.Originally posted by elPolloLoco View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Title of vid says 12.7mm (50 BMG is a 12.7 × 99)Originally posted by CJ View Post
Also the XM806 was cancelled back in 2012 so this is just another dead project marketing video.

Haha, yes I'm aware .50 is 12.7mm, but that case isn't anywhere near as long, it looks like a wildcat or proprietary cartridge.Originally posted by Binky View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Can I haz one suppressed?Comment

I have to agree with CJ, doesn't look anywhere big enough to be a 50BMG in the video. Look at the case size in the mans hand as he's feeding the belt. It might have been rechambered for the marketing department so they could show how little it recoils or something.Comment
