That's cause that green tip won't kill nothing.

So is it going to be the SIG 6.8x51, the 6.8SPC or the plastic case True Velocity 6.8? Which platform/manufacturer was chosen? Like most zerohedge articles it leaves a lot to be desired as far as facts and accuracy. Bob

Any word on when the ones being replaced will be available to purchase at the local government surplus store?

My guess is SIG.
With the current administration the bids will be let in China.

Biden will probably donate our old weapons to China, or North Korea. NO WAY would he allow US citizens to own "weapons of war"! They would be too dangerous for us to have, fine and dandy for China to get em tho!(and at deep discount).

No new automatic weapons for civilians. Ronnie REAGEN stopped that nonsense back in the early 80s🤣

Of course in the Ukraine they hand them out for free to fight suppression of human rights and women are not fighting on the front lines for their country either there, put don't tell the liberal progressive woke socialists over here in The West which is The NWO construct of Trans humanism .
Equity for all is their New motto with a central government that controls everything with Digital programmable currency.

Hopefully the new ammo will fire a larger caliber, heavier, faster bullet than the 5.56 mouse guns we have been using since mid-Vietnam. It's time we gave the guys on the ground a weapon that will actually kill something and destroy things. But the Democrats are in control of everything so it will probably be the equivalent of a .22 short.
