[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3766061, member: 41176"] No not SPC. Beginning with the program, the Army provided a projectile and performance requirements, and allowed the vendors to come up with their respective cartridges to meet those requirements. The Army knew if they specified a cartridge, it would get FUBAR'd. The weapon is based solely on a projectile. If you go look up the NGSW program, you'll be able to see kind of the progress. Sig stuck with a more reliable traditional cartridge whereas GD and Textron leaned on a polymer case. Textron had the "case-telescoped" cartridge-not a successful design to say the least. [/QUOTE]
