Abstract
This project develops the Lightweight .50 Caliber Machine Gun which will meet the U.S. Army/SOCOM requirements for a Lightweight Enhanced .50 Caliber Machine Gun. The project will result in the development of a lightweight .50 Caliber machine gun system enabling the Soldier to effectively suppress and incapacitate exposed personnel targets out to 2,000 meters, as well as providing a capability to defeat lightly armored vehicles out to 1,500 meters. Successful development of the Lightweight .50 Caliber Machine Gun will increase the warfighter's lethality while significantly reducing tactical load and supportability costs. The new .50 Caliber weapon will reduce weight and recoil, and eliminate manual adjustment of headspace and timing.
