NGSW: The US Army's First Suppressed Service Rifle & Some History

The US Army recently selected SIG Sauer's submission to the US Army's Next Generation Squad Weapons program. One interesting aspect of the programs is that the new rifle, the XM5, will be the US Army's first suppressed service rifle. However, this isn't the first time the US Army has examined suppressors.

It’s also replacing their fleet of M249s with Sig’s NGSW-AR, and possibly the M240 as well. These new guns will run the new 6.8×51 cartridge, which will be commercially known as “.277 Fury”.
