Textron Unveils Ultra-Light 7.62mm Machine Gun Effort
Textron Systems showed off its newest effort to develop an ultra-light 7.62mm machine gun at the 2015 Special Operations Forces Industry Conference.
The new MG is being designed to weigh 14.5 pounds – more than eight pounds lighter than the lightest version of the M240.
The effort is part of the Case-Telescoped Weapons and Ammunition program which has produced a matured 5.56mm lightweight machine gun similar to the M249 squad automatic weapon, according to Textron officials.
