The SR-25 is a hell of a weapon, but still a direct gas impigiment system. Piston is the new wave now.

Remember, there are three different barrel lengths for both the Mk 16 and Mk 17. These are the CQC, Standard, and Long Barrel.

My understanding is that they’re going to be getting both the 5.56 and the 7.62 versions. I do not know if the heavy is going to be just for designated marksmen-type roles or squad automatic weapon or in more general use, though.

So which caliber are the Rangers going to use?

Is it just a more reliable M4/16 (nothing wrong with that) or a squad sharpshooter type weapon (M14 replacement)?
