You got a bigger and better AR-15. Which is bigger and better. Will this make you a better "Well regulated militia" or Rambo or John McClain?

New assault rifle being sold to civilians is twice as powerful as the AR-15 and capable of shooting through bulletproof vests, report says

A gun company is marketing an assault rifle that can shoot through bulletproof vests to civilians, a report says, amid ongoing debates about gun control following a string of deadly mass shootings.

SIG Sauer's MCX-SPEAR is the civilian equivalent of the US Army's NGSW-R (Next Generation Squad Weapon-Rifle), specifically created to tear through body armor, The Daily Beast reported.

"It'll shoot through almost all of the bulletproof vests worn by law enforcement in the county right now," Ryan Busse, a former firearms company executive now a senior policy analyst with the Giffords Law Center, told the outlet.

The gun fires bullets with twice the kinetic energy of those from an AR-15 has a longer range, and has a noise suppressor that could make a gunman harder to locate, the outlet reported.

It’s strange they would advertise that for going through bullet proof vests, actually that’s not even new because armor piercing bullets are available for many rifles and have been for probably 60 years or more, it’s just a steel bullet with a copper jacket instead of lead. You don’t need a special gun for it , just bullets that are usually military issue

Just about any generic hunting is more than capable of punching through body armour, what’s your point? The standard 5.56 round that most ARs are chambered in is pretty anemic, this is nothing new

@Redstang88 as the article says "NEW ASSAULT RIFLE"

[Redstang88]

New rifle in old calibers, it’s just propaganda fear mongering.
My WWI era rifles have 3-4x the kinetic energy and twice the effective range of your standard AR15

@Redstang88 WWI rifles made in Germany? Oh no.. bad.. bad fear mongering. No Good... Its the same thing dressed up differently...

German, Swiss, British, American. ARs are BB guns compared to anything made 100 years ago
