Yesterday we had a company meeting head by CEO Ron Cohen and he said "Today is the biggest day of my career....." referring to SIG winning the largest award EVER of the United States military of small arms. I'm so happy to be a part of the greatest company I've ever worked for and so proud of all the people I work with and for.
@@jackmehoff2363 Redundancy, or probably just to give more options so people who already used the AR platform could easily use the gun without having to retrain their muscles again.
@@Josua070 if your concern is to worry people cant adapt to a nee gun, then the answer is to NOT MAKE A NEW GUN. i ask you to think that thought through. As far as redundancy thats silly. It adds weight and cost to an already heavy gun and an insanely expensive gun. Its truly not needed
@@TacticalMoistTowelette No. In manufacturing, in order to remove bias from the quality assurance process, and to discover potential defects, the designers usually are not allowed to test their own design. The testing has to be done independently.
@@raulmachado182 lol had I known shit was gonna be like this. Last year I was putting money into my car and for some reason didn't think to buy a gun again till I decided this year to get back into the gun world after finally having money for one and finding out its a shit show in the gun world right now
@@raulmachado182 wasn't even panic buying just had the money for one and decided I wanted one again. Little did I know there was mass panic buying going on lol I thought it was just toilet paper, food, and what not
Wow, what a powerful speech. I am new to firearms at the age of 53 and purchased a P365 in October of 2020 and recently purchased a P365XL and I can say with great respect these handguns are a absolute piece of quality and engineering without a doubt. I do own a Glock I purchased in between the two 365s but always have the Sig as a part of me for my personal protection. Never strive to be number one by selling the most, be number one by quality and pride in what you do!
Can’t go wrong with Sig or Glock for that matter. Sig holds a very special place in my heart. The very first gun I’ve ever shot was my buddy’s P229 beck in the early 90’s and today I own one, along with a P320 X5, a p365XL, an M400 and a 516.
Love the Sig Sauer designs miles more compared to the competitors. They proved they are ready when they made the M17 to replace the Army M9. Good luck in the competition.
Yes, I am a SIG man. I liked them before they got any military contracts. I own several, and all other guns are rated against my P-226 and P-220. I love the M-17. Wished they had them when i was in the military. Did not like the M-9.
@@AmericanBusinessman422 I have been taken a safety firearms course and the instructor was in awe when I pulled out my Sig Sauer 911 9mm with Rosewood grips. The craftsmanship that goes into your firearms. Now I do own other firearms as well. The Taurus GC2 which was my first and a kel tec. There is no comparison at all. My wife suggested we go to a gun store a few months back, she knows I enjoy looking and I was actually looking at a baby eagle. My wife called me and I walked over and she said look at this, and there it was. A company that takes such great pride in doing what they do best deserves to be recognized. Sig Sauer makes a very dependable firearm. I love your videos
I would just love to shoot one. I bought my first Sig Sauer 2 months ago and getting ready to purchase a 911 45 to sit next to my 911 9 micro subcompact which I carry as a EDC
@@AmericanBusinessman422 seems to be very well made, lighter than let’s say the M60 which I carried for many years. Sig Sauer I consider more be more dedicated about your product than just mass production. Even the M16 was first produced by Mattel And then colt bought the rights from Armalite in 1959. Over the years the quality of firearms has gone down and today you can buy a 9mm for 100.00 I’ve done a lot of research on sig Sauer. What your company has put together will for ever change warfare
I have been a SIG fan since 1998 when I purchased my first P-220. From that first pistol I now own a P-229 in 357 and 40, P-226, P-239, P-365, M-17 and M-18. The M-18 is my routine carry piece but I do rotate every week so the rest of the guns in my safe do not become jealous or feel left out.
Its a bigger caliber. What I don't get is the price tag of $8,000 for a semi automatic rifle. The fn scar also got the contract for the army so why can they go with that?
@@liberallogic42 that's the cost of the initial edition, so there is a premium there. I guess the price will come down in the coming years. Also, the 8k price tag includes the suppressor. In term of practicality, I prefer building a ar 308 chamber in 6.5 creedmore, 20 inch barrel. It's much more economical, achieve close performance, and the barrel life should be much longer. To be honest, the most interesting stuff in this NGSW is actually the fire control, not the rifle and the new round.
Wow, this changes everything. Most of the industry we sell machine tools to still machines the inside baffles from stock material. If Sig is using 3D additive printing, they can design the internal guts where machining just can't do it. Great job Sig !
Game changer in many way. The rife and machine gun use the same ammo, no more two types. Then it’s a battle caliber to go at anything it hits with authority on the regular. No more spray and pray because aimed fire is the standard, 6.8mmx51 solves many shortcomings. Now the ar15 5.56mm isn’t going anywhere and same for us 7.62x51/ 308 people but the military just needed more of a good thing.
6.8x51 is a fantastic replacement for 7.62x51 (6.5CM would work equally as well, but that's too easy). The fundamental flaw in the theory of NGSW is the bulk of 6.8x51 ammo. They need to redo NGSW with high pressures and hybrid cartridge cases in either the 6mmARC or 6.5 Grendel or something very close. Remake the NGSW cartridge in the AR15 form factor and you have a winner.
Yes, exactly. NATO shouldn't have to buy entirely new weapons and magazines when they can just convert them to a new round that's deadlier but just as dimensionally compact as 5.56.
@@sixfivearms8896 Velocity and ammo weight saving. Ammo weight saving obviously for the bigger around, but velocity to crack body armour. The 6.8 from sig has roughly 25 percent more energy on target than similsr rounds of the same size, so that body armour of nations with large militaries is less of a problem. The issue is higher chamber pressure is what they want to acomplish this and that means regular rounds won't do, nor will regular rifles. Pretty sure sig's weapon is somewhere around 90,000 chamber psi, 50 cal is like 60 thousand. Oretty sure those numbers are right but it't been a while since I read on it so you might want to check
Is that why both the p320 & p365 had issue's and they released them anyway huh 🤔. It's funny there slogan is never settle and I wouldn't settle for one of their firearms
So why didn't they give the MCX Spear a recoil reduction mechanism like the machine gun has? Also if the M4 length wasn't a requirement would it be possible to give the 6.8 a smaller hybrid case and still have it preform the same out a 18 inch barrel?
I think this was significantly designed for Afghanistan. If we had stayed it would have been the game changer greatly influencing politics and culture change in that country.
"lets replace the M9 with a gun capable of firing a round if dropped wrong." "Lets replace the M4 with an objectively worse round just to fuck with ammo weight and shite." "Lets replace the M4 with a slightly different M4"
@Sig Sauer, Inc Please make an improved Romeo Zero. Suggestions: metal housing, get rid of the polycarbonate lens, make the battery accessible without having to remove... Just passing along all the things I’m hearing in reviews that are negatives for me, and many others. You’ve knocked it out of the park with the Sig P365XL. I love that pew pew. I’d love to see you do the same with a Red Dot for the before mentioned. I don’t know if you’ll respond, but if you’d like to send me a Romeo Zero to try to prove that it’s awesome just the way it is I’ll be happy to try it with an open mind. (I had to give asking a shot. Pun intended.) Godspeed.
I hope Sig Sauer is listening. Sig owners want the best! If we wanted throw away guns we'd buy glocks. Ameicans want companies to build the best in the world. I'm tired of our classic American companies no longer having the balls and heart to compete. Toyota, Mercedes and Air Bus can suck it.
I hope they get hk engineers, Glock ext, I know there’s competition but if they can optimize the rifles to the best possible ones for nato that would be awesome
Should SIG be successful beyond expectation, may I suggest leasing the facility in Huntsville, AL (next to the airport) formerly occupied by Remington. Happy to help you too.
the weight reduction on the M250 compared to M249 seems really huge. not so certain if the extra weight is worth it for the M5 tho. we'll have to wait and see
The engineers at TV actually were able to make their cartridge work at normal 7.62nato chamber pressures utilizing some creative space capacity pressure curves inside their casing. They have a promo/propaganda reel they released about a month ago showing them do barrel swaps on legacy 762nato weapons like m110s and m240s. The lack of an increase in rate of fire tells me they succeeded in keeping port pressures and chamber pressures low when they did the barrel swap on the 240. Truth be told sig very well could win but I think GD/TVC/Berreta has the better thought out design at least in the cartridge department. Of course this is just my two cents.
I would say that the GD/TV entry would be the most attractive to nato allies vs the sig where they can economically re-barrel their existing 7.62nato platforms to the 6.8TVC allowing a much easier path to nato standardizing BUT my gut tells me the DoD is less concerned with nato standardization nowadays and could care less if we chose a cartridge that either didn't work with existing euro platforms and then forcing them to change their entire arsenals to our new cartridge requiring entirely new weapon systems or force feeding SIG's proprietary designs on our allies. Obviously SIG would very much prefer the idea of being the sole proprietor of an entire class of nato ammo and weapons. Now the we in the US wouldn't be effected militarily by such a drastic change TOO much due to our addiction to trying to break our own national debt records but it could lead to some serious economic problems for some of our smaller and less economically powerful nato allies especially ones in strategic regions like Ukraine. Long story short US gun enthusiasts seem to really like the 6.8fury and it's up pressured military variant while I could see nato allies more interested in the 6.8TVC putting the DoD right in the middle of 2 competing camps. I honestly don't think texatron's bid will go anywhere but I have been wrong before.
Sig Sauer seems to be doing it all right, except locating their factory where it would be appreciated and prosper further, e.g. Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky…..
Nice. Hey guys, now that Sig will have more money than god, can you PLEASE manufacture mags for the P230/P232 again. It's not like I want them free either, but they're impossible to find except for promags... and Promags suck...
Heavier, less ammunition, three times the recoil when compared to AR-15. Performance comparable to a heavy .308 bullet, except costs WAAAY more per round, and has to have a whole new factory built just to produce it. If you wanted to go that route, .308, is already produced cheaply everywhere. War fighters already carry about as much as they can, this will mean that they will have less ammunition in their loadout. This is a waste of taxpayer money. Are these rounds going to stay bonded together when they are stored in harsh conditions? A one piece brass case will. How long are the barrels going to last with such high pressure? It's a big mistake.
@64 64 IMHO it is simply throwing out the lessons learned from Project Salvo. Pinning down and outmaneuvering an enemy involves fire superiority, i.e. you don't put you head up when a withering hail of fire is coming it at you for fear of getting it shot off. That is the foundation of carrying lots of ammunition. I don't care what kind of body armor you're wearing, you're definitely not going to stand up to take a, "well aimed shot", when rounds are cracking off right by your person.
@64 64 who the fuck is wearing level 4 armor? Seriously last time I checked we haven't meaning the U.S. military fought anyone with that kind of kit so what's the point
Awesome program and move to help our service men and women! But don't use someone else's motto, (never settle)(OnePlus) don't need to send your hard earned money over to them. Hope you have procured the right to use that to prevent lawsuit.
