M27 IAR on Tac TV

[pointblank4445]

Sorry to get the hopes up of everyone who was expecting this last week as it was a re-run of the 416/MR556 episode. Last night, we got a better look at the M27 IAR. A large portion of the show was comparing the M16A4, M249 and M27 in certain areas. The test I found to be telling was the 3 round burst test.

Each weapon (using its respective ACOG setup) was to fire 3x 3 round bursts on a paper target at 50m (or yards?, I don't recall). After all rounds are fired, the spread is measured from the farthest shots on target. All rifles shot prone w/ standard kit.

The M16A4 (20" barrel, semi/3rb, 4x ACOG, no bipod) had a total spread of 15.5" on target.

The M249 (3.5x ACOG, FA only, bipod) fired off a few extra rounds due to lack of a 3rb feature. Including the 10th round, the spread was something like 19"? Dropping the outlying round, it was 11 or so inches.

The M27 (3.5x ACOG, semi/FA, bipod) fired an extra round as well. But due to they cyclic rate (and possibly other factors (accuracy, shootability), the spread was 9.5" for ALL rounds fired.

Interesting stuff.

If it's any consolation, they didn't show anything you haven't already seen or learned here.
