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.

I have stopped thinking about it. Pakistan will buy latest Tanks and Artillery and attack helicopters and APC and everything else except for new Assault Rifles.

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.

no, we don't use 5.45x39! I am saying scrap 5.56 and 7.62x39 and look at a 6mm solution like 6.5 Grendel or the new US NGSW 6.8 which is a 7.62x51 reworked!

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.
