Millions of ARs in circulation in the hands of civilians and Sig introduces a new rifle and a new cartridge. Historically either of the two individually has been a problem.
It’ll fizzle and go away. The cost of that rifle is comical. For the record, I love Sigs. I don’t love how the MPX kind of disappeared after I bought two of them, and put out a second generation 10 minutes later, with parts and magazines being incompatible with the first. |

The MCX is a vast improvement to the AR15, the Spear is a vast improvement to the AR10

View Quote They really did screw the pooch, in their handling of the MPX. At least your lower is capable of using the "Gen 2" uppers, could be worse and have been different too. The SPEARs success will be determined on if it's adopted by the military. If it does, it's high ammo cost won't matter as much and it might come down with other companies jumping on board. Keep in mind, the ridiculous high cost of this one was for the "limited edition" crap and the silencer included. Time will tell on the price for the mass produced model. |

Quoted: Yeah, issues for the people they hit. View Quote I’m going to lol at you on this. If the 556 makes a hit, it did a great job at killing. That came down to accurate fire not “magic bullet.” Is there any evidence of the .277 killing anyone yet? Has the spear been used by warfighters in a combat role? You got a pretty rifle there op and it puts pretty numbers down on paper! |

Maybe you should look up the definition of "vast" because that's not it. "Slightly in a few ways" is more appropriate.
English might not be your first language so I'll give you a pass. |

Quoted: My conspiracy theory is that this entire "Russian body armor" thing is a pretense to develop and anti-robot gun. I think they're pre-emptively getting ready for a future battlefield full of lightly armored RC cars with small turrets. They asked "wat round 4 robot?" and this is what they came up with. Welcome to the future. [/tinfoil off] View Quote I've been wondering the same thing. Maybe they're worried about actual powered armor or new even lighter plates that act like level 4 but are light enough that they can get a lot more coverage. |

Neat gun.
I'd take an XM16E1 before that ANY day. Still....neat gun. |

View Quote My Gen 1 MPX has never choked with Gen 2 mags, and I have been able to find the Gen 1 mags as cheap as $9/ea for 20-rounders. The big disappointment for me is the inability to change calibers. |

Be nice if they got the consumer variant released in non-limited, non-$8k form.

I'm sure that's a fine rifle.
I don't think your points make it a vast improvement over the AR15. |

I wanted one badly if it is adopted by the mil, but they're priced out of my ballpark.

Quoted: Nonsense. Sig doesn’t support the firearms they produce and drops them and all support with a quickness. I can buy standard AR parts anywhere and everywhere. View Quote This is the truth. I like that they are willing to innovative, but no way will I ever be a beta tester for them again |

Way too expensive and unobtainium ammo. I assume you are able to write this off for a business, or are a multimillionaire? The Sig Sauer M5 NGSW Rifle a/k/a The MCX Spear |

Quoted: Defeat Modern Russian Body Armor. Tell that to the US Army, they seem to think there is an imperative issue that needs to be addressed. It's shipping, and should have quite a big push on.

Quoted: There's a limited number of the NGSW guns in the wild. That's why the prices are so extreme.
