"What reason do you have to carry a weapon?"

It is the duty of every man and woman to be armed at all times! Hope this helps

I knew they were never gonna mass issue that Sig battle rifle

HICARus flying too close to the sun.

I just won a bet that we'd end up just adopting an ultra high pressure 5.56.

I bet this stuff cooks at 3400fps from a 14"

I feel like "hyper" velocity should imply *at least* 4500 fps.

Maybe out of a longer barrel

You want a bullpup so you can have a short carbine for CQB and vehicle ops.

I want a bullpup so I can have a compact 28" rifle.

We are not the same.

We are not

I'm a shotgun guy.

I will clear rooms with a 20" rifle.

This sounds dangerously stupid and I'm here for it. If we make a 5.56 that's too spicy for normal 5.56 guns it's just a matter of time before someone puts the wrong round in the wrong rifle. This is a bigger catastrophe waiting to happen than .300blk in a 5.56.

Also how strong does the actual upper need to be? Doesn't the barrel and the bolt do all the real work containing pressure?

recoiloperated

Tbh- we won't see any HICAR ammo on the civvie market for a minute. But the URGI is just a normal cold hammer forged chrome lined AR barrel and a normal high end bolt.

82k PSI with the new bimetallic cases is pretty safe even in stock AR bits.

You're gonna have a fun time swapping barrels after every raid though. Apparently it's capable of 3500FPS with a 75gr OTM.

My concern wasn't even with the civvy market. The military is so dogshit about maintaining their guns. They're not going to retrofit all their guns to accommodate the new ammo and they're definitely not going to maintain all their guns. Just look at the M9. Replacing the springs every 5 rounds was too much to ask. You just need a screwdriver to get the grips off and a punch to remove one pin for the hammer spring. The recoil spring doesn't need any tools at all. That's just too much to ask. Then according to Inky the M4s are in shit shape too. They'll have a grunt spend hours removing every trace of carbon from the gun to get it as pristine as humanly possible then not have the armorer fix broken parts lol.

I could see the barrel wearing out prematurely compared to standard ammo but needing replacement after every raid? I dunno how many rounds a soldier goes through in the average engagement but they primarily fire semi auto and it's not sustained. Now that I'm thinking about it the gas system really seems like a weak link here. An extra 30k psi sounds like it would probably melt the tube before it melts the barrel right? They'd probably need an adjustable gas tube so they could choose between standard and spicy.

At 82k PSI we're well into barrel burner territory, it exceeds the legendary barrel burner .243 SRC by over 10kpsi, .223 WSSM by even more. I'm betting catastrophic throat erosion after 5-8k rounds unless they have a stellite chamber insert like the 1919A4 or M60.

The gas tube is an easy fix, melonite tubes are a buck or two more than untreated, and far tougher. Inconel is another option.

Have you seen the recent announcement by Proof and their new PXT barrels?

Gain-twist is one way to increase barrel life.

I've often imagined a concept of barrels where the lands are made of a material that is 1 not steel and 2 much harder than steel.

recoiloperated

Yeah- Stellite.

There's also ARMAD, but that's only sig and HK iirc

The hilarious options here are "ceramic" and "synthetic diamond".

PCD is actually fairly tough. But an intermetallic ceramic chamber liner may actually be an option.

youtube with ublock origin experience of the 20 second gap between every video on a playlist where youtube desperately throws itself against the impervious ever-evolving uncaring face of the adblocker's wall screaming and clawing and calling PLEASE! PLEASE, OUR AD REVENUE!! DON'T YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS CREATOR? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OUR WALLETS? AND THEIRS? into the vast and empty sky before the adblocker gently raises one of its many iron-banded arms and flicks youtube away into the void just to hear its wails fade slowly into nothing

It's funny when I get the "You seem to be experiencing interruptions. Find out why" popup as if two unskippable 30-second ads wouldn't feel way more intrusive and annoying than a slight delay for a video to start.

"You seem to be experiencing interruptions. Find out why." I know why.

If they didn't run almost exclusively scam ads I wouldn't use an ad blocker
