Your comment reminded me of a statement made by one of the soldiers from the battle of Mogadishu. The rescue convoy did not provide enough vehicles to carry all of them out, so some soldiers who were out of ammo had to run behind the vehicles while trying to look fierce and indestructible. It sounds a little fishy to me (no ammo), but makes a great story.

I haven't heard the no ammo part but "the Mogadishu mile" itself definitely happened.
From my understanding the convoy of vehicles that actually came out to bring the guys back came out extremely heavy though and was more than willing to apply liberal amounts of fire to protect the unwounded guys who had to run with the convoy to get out of the shit show.

NOT NGSW, but probably related nonetheless. FN releases to market a new .264USA rifle and machine gun package.

Read more from soldiersystems.netUses a bimetallic casing, like SIG. Designed to be suppressed most of the time. Otherwise is a fairly conventional Tri-Lug Long Stroke Gas Piston rifle. In the vein of the Robinson XCR. 7-9lbs, claimed 20% ammo weight savings vs an equivalent conventional brass cartridge.
The original request was put out back in 2018, this TFB article covers it as the original page seems to have went down.
Interesting stuff, I suppose.

Interesting, but unfortunately not the military GP or AP bullet. Not sure which bullet was used.
The video shows close-ups of 135gr FMJ, but the narrator says, "...identical to Sierra MatchKing."

military rounds may pierce but anyways deformation is enough to kill someone

That was one of the cooler ones from SHOT this year. Looks effective; curious how accuracy is.
