upcoming concept trials r 6.8 but 6.5 weapon (s) r also be to be inducted. not decided if/when 6.5 caliber will also be tested.
But the media info says 6.8x51 by Sig Sauer and their 2 weapons platforms have won the tender for th army!

SCAR is basically just a reworked FAL. I personally think Pakistan should just hire its own designers like UAE did for Caracal rifles. These rifles are better than HK416 rifle because they are designed by the same people.

Chamber it in 5.56, and if need be you can change uppers to 6.8 if the US army changes.

The contenders in the NGSW program all use a 6.8 calliber cartridge right? This seems to suggest that the US is getting ready to switch to 6.8.

just like the contenders in the last recent competition didn't produce a lasting winner, this is more of a proof of concept. 6.5 is also the new marksmen caliber and there'll be talk of standardizing.
