The Sig Sauer MCX Spear NGSW Rifle #GunFest2021
The Sig Sauer MCX Spear NGSW Rifle #GunFest2021
In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves meets with Jason St. John of the Sig Defense Strategies group to talk about Sig’s entry for the NGSW (“Next Generation Squad Weapon”) service rifle, the SIG MCX Spear in 6.8x51mm. In this video, we look at (and of course, shoot) the MCX Spear and talk about the development of the 6.8x51mm “hybrid case” ammunition Sig has developed to work with this platform, and we talk about the potential for this gun to hit the civilian market.
A press quote from Sig on the MCX Spear and NGSW program follows:
““The SIG SAUER Next Generation Squad Weapons system is the only submission entirely designed, engineered and manufactured by a single American company,” said Ron Cohen, SIG Sauer’s President & CEO, “we are proud to deliver this comprehensive solution to the U.S. Army, with new capabilities to enhance mission effectiveness for our soldiers on the battlefield.” He continued: “our ammunition, machine gun, rifle, and suppressors far surpass the performance of the legacy weapons system in range and lethality, offer exponentially better maneuverability, and are significantly lighter in weight.””

With that mustache you need to cary a weapon.
I hope even if Sig doesn’t win the NGSW project they still release the gun to the commercial market.
I was trying my best NOT to say this but I’ll say it anyway………TACTICAL MOUSTACHE 😁👌
Why keep the bolt assist?
That guy has a great mustache
Looks like a 4,000$ gun
tbh it looks bulky as fuck and idk about it
Is it just me, or does the magazine look… backwards when inserted?
You should ask the guy with the mustache to help you review other guns – he should totally be a regular on your channel. I love this guy – it would be great if you could give him a villain persona.
You know the gun is going to be good when the one presenting it has a mustache
0:30…….immediately go to comments
God.. I tried so hard to concentrate, but I failed😂😂
Battlefield 6 | M5A3
I doubt it’ll replace the M2. Maybe just limit the M2 to vehicle mounted systems, but not fully replace. Dude is bold
He went to his barber and asked for the “Lord Baelish”…
Us army should just adopt the Daewoo K2. 👌
Call him "Handles"
Mustache 🤣🤣🤣.
🇧🇷i love you SigSauer
When you grow a mustache to detract from your baldness.
nice mustache
This gun is featured in Battlefield 2042 as the M5A3, but the strangest thing is that its standard ammo is 5.56×45 (essentially turning it into MCX Virtus), while the high power ammo correctly depicted the weapon with the 6.8×51 SIG, not to mention you can fire pistol rounds too (turning it into a makeshift MPX) with its close combat rounds.
Sorry but I just can’t take that moustache seriously
I’m in the Army and I would love it if this rifle was our next standard-issue weapon. Even if I won’t see it for a few years
Good good next generations useing Ottoman cool mustache 😉
Man, that’s an ugly ass rifle.
Projected number of rounds for barrel life? 3,000?, 4,000?
What’s wrong with that dudes beard? That beard is weird!
He doesn’t grab his bikes handle bars..
He grabs his mustache…
at 4:21 in the video someones phone went off lol
I freaking LOVE the side charging option! I was super dissapointed when the virtus didn’t go side charging
So awesome. Great video.
That moustache is rough.
That’s a 2 stamp mustache, illegal in California
Feels like his mustache should be on the front of an old-school Cadillac.
Beautiful weapon system!
Thx for sharing
Don’t be fooled by the new “tech” and all that shit, it all depends on the caliber and person behind the rifle.
Downvoted the vid because his wife let him leave the house with that mustache.
BF2042 brought me to this video
Lol 😂 James trying to stay serious looking at this guy in the face with that mustache!!
too heavy
This is M5A3 in Battlefield 2042
Need this in my life already
It’s beautiful!! I want one as soon as and if they are ever available for us lowly civilians. It’s almost perfection if that’s possible I f that 6.8mm is what they say it is. I don’t know what else you would want in a battle rifle. I’m sure the government will say we can’t have 6.8mm but Sig should still release it in 6.5/308.
Porthos, Athos, Aramis, D’Artagnan & the long lost MCX-ateer, Balderstache
6.8 x 51?
That seems rather reminiscent of the 7mm "second optimum British cartridge from the early 1950s. It went on in a limited way as the7mm Liviano, as adopted by Venzuela in their initial FAL purchases..
A .277" ballet vs a .284" diameter?
This is not serious.
I wasn’t able to listen to any explanation due to my lack of concentration thinking about that ridiculous moustache.
Don’t you have a wife, girlfriend or whatever who could slap your face and tell you: dude, your moustache is a freaking joke.
Get outa here!
Yeah but are they going to make an airsoft Version
AK47 and a person who has nothing to lose… that is the winning formula! The rest is nothing more than a money making scheme!
What if we all collectively set our Calendars to May 10th, 1986 and register these guns under that date??🤔🤔
So let me get this straight-
It’s designed to defeat "armor" but not even level IV armor when almost every other industrialized nation’s military uses it, and yet they already have AP ammo that can penetrate military level IV armor.
Which begs the question which armor are they trying to penetrate because no military uses level III armor.
