500-yard crosshairs

I think it's a traditional christmas tree reticle, rather than a bullet drop compensator. After all, the MSPaint measured distance in pixels from the center to the 2 mark is the same as from the 14 to 16 marks (37-38 pixels).

Right, it's not a "500 yards" position, it's a "5 mrad" drop correction.

Thank you.  I didn't know there was a difference. 

Old dinosaur.  Nearly all my guns had iron sights.

Except my AUG, which had a sight reticle like this:

Still a fantastically practical reticle in my book.

Totally agree.  I had no trouble hitting a torso-size steel plate @ 400 yards.

Edit: doesnt wanna include the snip. But have a look at p14. Nothing unexpected, but nice to see i suppose.

I see the Marines are still interested in NGSW.  Infantry Modernization

Great find. Alas the 'SP' Special Purpose projectile is blacked out. GP EPR looks to have a pretty long steel penetrator though. 

However the 7.62 ADVAP concept is shown, which looks like an exposed tip AP or EPR, presumably tunsgten.

Thanks for that image.  Looks like 6.8x51 has conventional pyrotechnic tracers.  No OWL Tracers.

Yeah thats a bummer; my dream of 100% tracers for improved hit probability is dashed.
