The new version was introduced some days ago at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC), the premier conference for the SOF community. The belt-fed MK 48 in 6.5 Creedmoor features the latest upgrades for FN’s series of light and medium machine guns, and the caliber it’s chambered for is more and more popular among the military.

Textron Systems, that have been working with the US military for the last 14 years, delivered a “prototype demonstrator” of Next Generation Squad Weapon-Technology. The NGSW-T automatic rifle prototype is based on Textron’s proven Cased-Telescoped (CT) Weapons and Ammunition technology.

The 9mm M17 / M18 striker-fired pistols are being adopted by the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. 

The new SIG machine gun is a modern multi-caliber design that was developed with the US Army's needs in mind.  Already available in .338 Norma Magnum and 7.62x51mm NATO, it can in fact be easily adapted to chamber the new XM1168 6.8mm GP round for the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program.
