• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durdan

Now, prototypes of these new super weapons are expected to be on the firing line in summer 2019.

Multiple Armed Forces intend on fielding the Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle (NGSAR), the first version of the Army's Next-Generation Weapons System that chambers a round between 6.5mm and 6.8mm, as a replacement of its aging M16/M4 and M249 SAWs starting in 2022, Col. Geoffrey A. Norman, force development division chief at Army HQ, told Task & Purpose in early 2018.

The new weapons will be transferred to close combat Army, Marine, and special operations forces in the early 2020s.
