    SOCOM set to select Lightweight Medium Machine Gun

    If history is any guide, SIG might win this one too.

    "Basic specifications of the Lightweight Medium Machinegun from the competitors are:

    Ohio Ordnance Works Recoil Enhanced Automatic Precision Rifle, or REAPR: a 26.8-pound, 54.5-inch weapon with a rate of fire of 550 rounds to 660 rounds per minute.

    Sig Sauer’s MG 338: a 24.1-pound, 50-inch weapon with a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute.

    True Velocity’s Recoil Mitigation 338: a 25-pound, 49-inch weapon with a rate of fire exceeding 500 rounds per minute."

    Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

    Sig’s marketing/hookers and blow budget must be larger than its R&D budget.

    I can't wait for people to complain about whomever wins, and for the losers to sue the winner in frivolous lawsuits. Yay!
    It's f*****g great, putting holes in people, all the time, and it just puts 'em down mate, they drop like sacks of s**t when they go down with this.
