However, with the economic outlook as it is, I fear that some of the 30-40 million people out of work will get desperate at some point and I need something to protect my TP stock. I've been "armed up" for decades because it's something my family has always been into since I was a small child. I've been shooting since I was 5. It's not fear it's a hobby, and I've been collecting for a long time. If you had to push me to think about what 'scares me' the most though I guess I would vote for home invasion. It's been on the rise for a long time. I read helter skelter and decided maybe I'd keep a few more firearms accessible around the house for quick response. Liberal Beta Dotards arming up now because Orangeman bad are more likely to just shoot themselves in the vag than anything else. But whatever, it's still America for now. On a side note I'm still waiting for my Sig C3 I ordered in March. I mail them once a month just to say hi. last week I mailed them and they told me they have an Emperor Scorpion and a Spartan II available and that's all they have in 1911 frame. I'll just wait I guess. 💩

My 27 year old son was robbed at gun point when he was 16. As soon as was able to he started carrying all the time, to ease his fear. So you have feared a home invasion since the 70s. I and many others only recently started to fear the possibility of a home invasion so I only recently started to think it might be a good idea to have something to defend myself. It has nothing to do with your orange lord except for he had a hand in creating the current economy.

I initially started wearing a seat belt because I feared my family would not get my death benefits if I was killed in an accident without one. I wear one now out of habit. To be clear though When you arm up it’s because you are a fearless and tuff alpha male. When someone who doesn’t vote the way you do buys a gun for home protection, it’s because they are fearful betas.

That article was old. It's been about the 6.8 for well over a year now. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/02/12/only-one-in-four-soldiers-likely-to-see-armys-newest-rifle-in-coming-years/ Quote Only 1 in 4 soldiers likely to see Army’s newest rifle in coming years Todd South February 12 Marines and soldiers could see another major change in the coming years if the Next Generation Squad Weapon program is successful. These are three variants of a 6.8mm rifle/automatic rifle suite competing to replace both the Squad Automatic Weapon and M4/M16. (Jacqueline Belker/Marine Corps Times) Over the next five years, the Army plans to buy a mix of more than 120,000 new light machine guns and rifles, built around new ammunition, to replace both the M4 carbine and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon for select soldiers. Army officials are asking for $111 million to continue prototyping the Next Generation Squad Weapon through the next fiscal year in their recent budget request. The NGSW program was designed to replace the standard rifle and squad machine gun, but only for close-combat units such as infantry, scouts and possibly combat engineers. And the procurement numbers show that only around a quarter of the 485,000 active-duty soldiers might get a chance to carry the weapon. The three contractors selected last year — Sig Sauer, General Dynamics-OTS and Textron Systems — are expected to deliver 38 prototype rifles and 28 prototype automatic rifles along with 660,000 rounds of ammunition for testing and soldier evaluations next year, according to budget documents. More than a rifle: How a new 6.8mm round, advanced optics will make soldiers, Marines a lot deadlier Top leaders want this weapon in troops' hands soon. Todd South The Army plans to pick the winner and announce the production award by late 2021, according to budget documents. At the same time, the service is developing an advanced fire control system for the new 6.8mm rifle and automatic rifle. It’s intended to go far beyond optics currently used by soldiers on their light carbines and rifles. The Army wants the unit to include a variable-powered optic for short and long range shooting, an integrated range finder, ballistic calculator and digital display capable of providing an adjusted aim point, according to budget documents. And procurement for those fire control systems give a hint at how quickly the inventory of NGSW will accumulate. They want to buy nearly 4,000 next fiscal year, doubling that number for 2023 and 2024 until by fiscal year 2025 they’ve purchased a total of 121,773. Sign up for the Army Times Daily News Roundup The price tag for the first 4,000 units is estimated at nearly $36 million, according to budget documents. That’s just for the active-duty soldiers. Army National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers won’t see the new system purchase begin until fiscal year 2023 and will have fewer headed their way. The Guard is schedule to procure 25,541 through fiscal year 2025. The Reserve is slated for 687 units in the same period. That’s not a slight to the Guard and Reserve, but instead telling on how the weapon and its optic will field – prioritized to infantry and close-combat forces. Much the same way that the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team has focused initial gear and training at improvements to the close-combat force – infantry, cavalry scouts, engineers and special operations forces. A big part of the weapon’s development has centered around its ammunition. The 6.8mm decision came after years of evaluation and study, and debate, in small caliber circles. Early efforts also looked at 6.5mm to fill the niche between the existing 7.62mm and 5.56mm currently in the arsenal. Army officials want a caliber that’s lighter than the 7.62mm currently used in some sniper systems and medium machine guns such as the M240. But they want it to be as lethal or more at longer ranges to increase squad "overmatch” against peer and violent extremist adversaries, many of which use small arms that outrange the 5.56mm round common to the M4 and M16 used by nearly all soldiers. Funding in the budget will also go toward continued development of the general purpose 6.8mm round and a reduced range round so that soldiers can practice on existing 5.56mm ranges with the new caliber, that is designed to shoot farther than some of those ranges are designed to accommodate. The Army is also developing an armor-piercing 6.8mm round but did not request funding for that project in this year’s budget.

May 14, 20205 yr The Army’s Next-Generation Squad Weapon Is a Big Hit With SOCOM Quote The Next Generation Squad Weapon Science and Technology prototype consolidates both ammunition and weapons, as well as a power and data rail for integration of next-generation fire-control systems. (U.S. Army photo/Daniel Cler) 14 May 2020 Military.com | By Matthew Cox The 75th Ranger Regiment, Green Berets and other U.S. special operations ground forces will be equipped with the conventional Army's Next Generation Squad Weapons. "We are an enthusiastic supporter of the Army's 6.8mm Next Generation Squad Weapons," Col. Joel Babbitt, of Program Executive Officer Special Operations Forces Warrior, told Military.com recently. "We expect there will be Next Generation Squad Weapons in our formations as soon as we can receive them via fielding." The Army is in the final phase of evaluating NGSW prototypes from General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Inc., Textron Systems and Sig Sauer Inc. to replace the 5.56mm M4A1 carbine and the M249 squad automatic weapon in infantry and other close-combat units. If all goes as planned, Army modernization officials will select the final design for the rifle and automatic rifle variants from a single firm in the first quarter of 2022 and begin fielding them a year later. PEO SOF Warrior is working with the Army to become part of the NGSW fielding plan at some point over the five-year, future-year defense plan, Babbitt said. U.S. Special Operations Command hasn't always been as supportive of conventional Army weapons programs, such as the failed XM25 Counter-Defilade Target Engagement System, which was known as the Punisher. During an operational assessment, elements of 75th Ranger Regiment refused to take XM25 with them for a raid on a fortified enemy compound in Afghanistan, sources familiar with the incident said. The Rangers found the XM25 too heavy and were also concerned that the limited basic load of 25mm rounds was not enough to justify taking an M4A1 carbine out of the mission. But this has not been the case with the NGSW effort, which has involved special operations forces in all of the soldier touch point evaluations. "Our operators have been in from the beginning on the soldier touch points, and we have been working very closely with [Program Executive Office] Soldier all along," Babbitt said. "Our operators ... are providing feedback to help make the weapons better." The NGSW's auto rifle variant is so promising that PEO SOF Warrior may not go forward with a separate effort to develop a light machine gun chambered for 6.5mm Creedmoor, he added. "We have currently put our 6.5mm Creedmoor lightweight machine gun on hold pending the results of the Next Generation Squad Weapon," Babbitt said. -- Matthew Cox can be reached at matthew.cox@military.com
