It comes with a new meme caliber as well.

So on a scale of 1 to horrible, how shit is it?

Also, what is it with faggots always trying to use one round/rifle for literally EVERY task. Just giving everyone a DMR/LMG/Assault rifle in the same round seems like a horrible solution to fix your fucked up logistics.

We've already had thread about this. 6.5 is good, cased telescopic is questionable the project itself seems like a big money sink, probably not up to the point of 5.56 but still big enough to be a shitshow of m855 levels.

LSAT is a cool gun. As a SAW virtuoso, I can safely say that at times I wished it was lighter. Many people will tell you that the M240 is a better weapon (true), and that the M240 is more reliable (true), and that the M249 is an unreliable piece of shit (definitely true), but if you're good at what you do and you carry a gallon of CLP, you can make that baby sing.
Now, being the Michelangelo of machine guns that I am, I can appreciate a good tool when I see one. It's lighter, has a bigger round, and might at least not be a piece of shit Belgian monstrosity that jams harder than I jammed my dick into a Philippine midget in 2011. Now, I don't know about the rest of the crap listed there, but LSAT looks cool and is actually a SAW, unlike the fucking M27 POS that has a sustained fire rate of 36.
Lies, all lies. A good gunner can put lead on target at 600m no problem and it scares the shit out of anyone close by. This is why the Marines fielded the M27 along with the M249, because they don't actually intend to replace the M249, but are doing it as a backdoor to getting a new rifle.
Now, the LSAT has more than a few versions, one conventional, one telescoped, and a caseless version. Personally, I'd be happy with just the conventional, but if the other shit works, then it works.

A AT-15 shooing 6.5 equal new rifle?
Aaron Mitchell
Caseless version?

It's just from what I read about it. I don't think it even exists yet.

But it's a nice weight savings. The SAW right now weighs 17lbs empty. Fuck that. LSAT is said to be more accurate and retains the sustained ROF that the M249 has. Shit's legit.

Shits less developed than the G11 was, and that got canceled after a production run of only 1000.
This will not go anywhere because at the end of the day the higher-ups either don't care about the weight the average grunt is carrying, or they're looking to pile on more shit.

No one is talking caseless, caseless is stupid german autism.
CT is case-telescoped, which is the proper modern solution to anything kinetic.
Add 6.5/6.8 projectile and a fucking hinged stock, some parts in carbon fibers and it can only be a mile better than pretty much everything NATO fields.
Using CT you could have basically a M4 size/weight gun with 30 rounds firing something ballisticly similar to a 6.5 mememoor, put a barrel made of modern steel (and not the junk they dare sell as "high end" barrel which is on the lower end of cheap 20XX metallurgy) a good modern glass and you will be gunning down shitheads from 0 to 1000 in full-auto one hand on your dick.
This is quite surprising, I fully except this to NEVER actually get out of limited adoption.
We all know we can't have nice things.
