Unless something has changed (I'd appreciate a link if it has changed), the M27 is fed using 30 round mags.Originally Posted by bordercop
Lower weight per given amount of ammo, as well as lower bulk; a nutsack is way easier to pack along than any of the 100 round drums out there. This also applies to extra ammunition being carried by riflemen......way easier to carry a belt or nutsack and hand it off than it is to lug a 100rnd drum.....or worse, carry the spare ammo in stripper clips and have to reload the drums for the IAR instead of giving them a belt of ammo.

Note to self: Right NOW you are wasting your time.
I had understood that the newer quad stack mags were developed as part of this program.
Here's an article from the Marine Corps Times:
Marines swap firepower for accuracy with IAR - Marine Corps News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Marine Corps Times
Here's the applicable portion of that article:It has an adjustable butt stock and runs on standard 30-round magazines, although the Corps also is exploring the possibility of a high-capacity magazine that would carry between 50 and 100 rounds.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

2025? The Marine Corps will have moved away from the M4/A4 platform, and migrated to the M27/IAR platform or variant of it; for EVERY Marine. This could very well happen.

I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes; If you f*** with me, I'll kill you all. - US Marine General James Mattis, to Iraqi tribal leaders
Where you been hidin', Major?
2020-2025?? Haven't you heard? The world ends Dec. 21, 2012. LOL
Key words being "exploring the possibility of." Thus, unless something has changed and that possibility came to fruition (which hasn't been reported as happening), the loadout is 22 30rnd mags. The TO&E is up to unit commanders on how best to distribute those mags. I left the Corps in September...perhaps the good Major can weigh in with the newest gouge, otherwise I could ask some buddies with Victor units.
Does anyone think that a muzzle device that reduces both recoil and flash like the Battlecomp would be useful for the M27 IAR?
Back to the original thread, figure that it will probably be caseless or semi caseless ammunition. This week's Army Times has an article on the AAI caseless ammunition and weapon that is being developed. With the reported 12 pound decrease in a SAW gunners load it is definitely a game changer. Ounces=pounds, pounds=pain. If want more info just google Light weight small arms technology.
By 2020 I belive the super rich slave owners time will be at an end. I am not talking about politicans im talking about the super rich that owns them will be at an end. Nothing anti-government or anything i just think this is where it's going. 2050 there will be nomore bullets we will be hitting eachother in the head with sticks or throwing rocks to settel problems. But me personaly if i was there in 2050 i'd have a pretty stick made by h&k!
