Sweetwater Precision' - Kodiak.™
Try #3-
Fulfilling the needs of the American and British automatic riflemen, Sweetwater's Kodiak™ light machine is on the top tier of infantry automatic weapons. The Kodiak was designed and tested to surpass the needs and replace the FN 249 SAW; The Kodiak beats the 249 in almost ever needed criteria -Kodiak weighs 12 and half pounds unloaded, features a simple gas tappet system, is capable of changing to .300BLK and 6.8SPC with barrel removal, is more versatile and is cheaper to produce. The Kodiak standard fire rate is less than the 249's at about 850 ROF and has its barrel chrome-lined for accuracy and flutted for reduced weight. The extractor geometry is designed to keep hot brass away from the shooter's arm and reduce extractor wear. The US Army's 173rd Airborne Combat Brigade tested the Kodiak while on a 1-year deployment and reported that the weapon system sustained zero jams while in the field, was easier to carry and shoot, required little maintenance, and didn't overheat as quickly as the 249.
