Sig Sauer 6.8mm Hybrid Ammunition

The new 277 SIG Fury Hybrid Ammunition is the commercial version of the 6.8mm ammunition developed for the US Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon program. SIG states that 3000 FPS velocity is possible from the 16″ barrel of the CROSS. The cartridge is a three-piece design that features a steel case and brass head held with a clip. This is the same cartridge that the military currently uses.

Nice guns. Wander how much they cost. What kind of mag does the light machine gun (NGSW-AR) use and how many rounds.

Belt fed primarily but I think it can take the mag that the rifle uses.

I read that it was belt feed. In the pic it have something on it that I though might be some kind of new drum.
