Machine gun SIG Sauer MG 338: the choice will be made in 2021

68

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is currently running the Lightweight Machine Gun-Medium (LMG-M) program, which aims to select a new high-performance light machine gun. One of the contestants is SIG Sauer with its project MG 338 (previously designated as SL MAG). The other day, this company boasted of new successes within the LMG-M.

Recent Posts


On January 15, SIG Sauer announced the completion of one of the stages of the LMG-M program. Its MG 338 machine gun, its .338 Norma Magnum cartridge for it, and the Next Generation Suppressors silent firing device have passed USSOCOM's safety certification. They confirmed compliance with the requirements for the products used, which allows you to continue working.



It is also reported that the Special Operations Command was transferred to the first batch as part of the new weapons and accessories for him. These products will be used in a further test program. The supply of .338 NM cartridges for full-scale machine gun verification continues.


The development company appreciates the latest developments. It is noted that for the first time in several decades, the US armed forces simultaneously certified a new machine gun, a new cartridge and additional equipment for them. Moreover, all new opportunities for the army are provided by one manufacturing company. Thus, obtaining safety certificates is a matter of pride.

Tasks and solutions


The goal of the LMG-M program is to create and adopt a promising machine gun that meets the specific requirements of the USSOCOM. The special operations command and other structures of the US Army have machine guns under the rifle cartridge of 7,62x51 mm NATO and large-caliber systems under 12,7x99 mm BMG. These systems differ markedly in their characteristics, and the LMG-M machine gun should fill the gap between them.

According to the tabular data, the maximum range of the existing 7,62 mm M240 machine gun is 1800 m. The new LMG-M should provide effective fire at distances of 1900-2500 m. At large distances, it is planned to use 12,7 mm machine guns. To ensure effective fire at given distances, the new machine gun must use .338NM ammunition.


Requirements for the range and effectiveness of fire are basic, but not the only ones. The product for the LMG-M program must have reasonable dimensions and acceptable ergonomics. It is also necessary to provide for the possibility of shooting right-handed and left-handed people, as well as to provide the ability to feed cartridge tape from any direction.

The LMG-M program includes SIG Sauer with the MG 338 machine gun and General Dynamics with the LWMMG product. At the moment, SIG Sauer is slightly ahead of its competitor, but its victory is not yet guaranteed.

Design features


Machine gun MG 338 from the company SIG Sauer generally corresponds to the technical requirements. The customer’s requirements were met through the use of several original technical solutions that affected the appearance of the finished machine gun.

High firing characteristics are ensured by the use of the .338 Norma Magnum cartridge. Initially, this ammunition was created for rifles, but now finds application in projects of weapons of other classes. A bullet with a caliber of 8,6 mm and a mass of less than 20 g, when fired, gains enough energy to hit targets at ranges of about 2-2,5 km. In addition, both rifles and machine guns provide acceptable accuracy and accuracy at all operating ranges.


The machine gun is built on the basis of gas automation with a short piston stroke and an adjustable gas unit. The layout is traditional with a hanging barrel. Due to the use of a relatively powerful cartridge and a long barrel, the weapon has a characteristic exterior and proportions.

The weapon received a means of reducing the recoil momentum acting on the shooter. For this, the barrel and part of the gas engine are movable. After the shot, they roll back a short distance, and only after this is the unlocking and removal of the sleeve. The rate of fire is 600 rds / min., Which has a positive effect on handling when firing bursts.

The rifled barrel is made quick-changeable. In addition, the project provides for the possibility of changing the caliber. Depending on the needs, a machine gun after a simple alteration can use .338NM or 7,62 NATO cartridges.


Next Generation Suppressors silently firing device is installed on the muzzle of the barrel. According to the development company, this product significantly reduces the noise from the shot and eliminates the muzzle flash. The emission of harmful substances is also sharply reduced. Thus, the NGS silencer allows you to hide the position of the machine gunner, and also saves him from long-term risks.

The machine gun uses tape power with the ability to choose the direction of supply. The tape receiver is rebuilt as necessary in the minimum time and without the use of special tools.

The controls of the trigger mechanism are made bilateral. There is only one shutter handle, but it can be installed on the desired side. In addition, the MG 338 is equipped with several brackets for installing the required equipment, such as bipods or sights. In the basic configuration, the machine gun receives a folding butt with adjustable length.

Due to the barrel and the NGS, the SIG Sauer machine gun is longer than existing systems. Product weight - 20 pounds (approx. 9 kg). Other specifications have not yet been published. It also remains unknown whether the product meets customer requirements.

Program perspectives


The SIG Sauer MG 338 machine gun passed part of the tests, and also confirmed its safety. In addition, USSOCOM transferred a batch of such weapons for further testing. In the coming months, new tests will be held, the results of which will decide on the future of the LMG-M program.


In June, USSOCOM will decide whether to continue the program and bring promising machine guns to series and operation. If a positive decision is made, a new order will follow by the end of the year. SIG Sauer and its competitors will have to continue work on their machine guns, and only after that the army will be able to choose the most successful.

The choice will be made next year. The special operations command plans to purchase 5 thousand new machine guns. Also, other weapons from the US armed forces may be interested in this weapon. With successful development of events, the total volume of orders for the LMG-M can reach tens of thousands of units.

Which of the existing machine guns will be the winner of the current program is unknown. The presented samples have these or those advantages and are quite capable to interest the customer. It cannot be ruled out that the MG 338 will not win in the current competition, but its creators already have reason to be proud. They managed for the first time in several decades to create and conduct through certification a whole complex based on a machine gun. However, SIG Sauer is unlikely to stop on these successes - the company will do everything possible to win the competition.

        The Americans are increasing the caliber not to increase the firing range, but because of the damaging effects. The massive use of body armor. And it seems like they will replace not only machine guns, but also their M4, M16.
        Effective fire without the use of optical instruments 185 meters, so many studies have been conducted on this subject. The human eye simply will not see the target, it will be closed by the front sight. Perform the experiment yourself, a match on an outstretched arm and try to aim at the chest target at a distance of about 200 m.
        A bullet cartridge 7.62 * 54R at a distance of 1700 m pierces the steel helmet. But how many such machine guns are there in a motorized rifle platoon. I will answer none, this is a means of strengthening the company. So count with us a platoon in service with everything with a 5.45 * 39 cartridge for them (if they accept) 8.6 * 64. All in bulletproof vests.

            I wrote about long-range shooting without optical devices in my commentary.
            I check myself. I’m sitting by the window, opposite the house, about 200 meters from it. The windows of this house are blocked by a matchbox, on an outstretched arm. The match, its thickness is approximately equal to the thickness of the fly, completely overlaps the silhouette of a person on the loggia. In combat, it will be shooting over there.

      The funny thing is that at distances of 1900-2500 these 8.6 are almost equal to the old 12.7 and the Soviet and NATO, because for this they created 0.408 which is 700 meters more powerful than 12.7, because loses less energy.
      I think in the future a 13-16mm cartridge will be created with a better ballistic coefficient compared to 12.7, 14.5 and less known.

        Dear, not more powerful but almost equal.

        But since 0,338 Norma Mag is 0,358 Norma Mag in girlhood, the characteristics will be slightly higher due to the bullet, and this is somewhere 400-600 J. per 2000 meters. Well, if you take the price of this cartridge, then the situation in general is ambiguous. The cost of a machine gun from Zig, a minimum will cost thousands so 30 green. and the cost of one cartridge in the region of $ 10, it is expensive even for special forces. Most likely it will be like ten years ago, they will experience it and forget it for another ten years.

Worse, they write a lot less, but Americans are seriously working on shaitan sights with rangefinders, built-in weather stations, ballistic computers, automatic corrections, including anticipation on a moving target, etc. All this is still there, but the Americans want to put it in one compact device and distribute it simply to everyone.

            Firstly, this is not a rifle. Grandfathers completely shot at kilometer + with a primitive aim at large targets (equipment, buildings, l / s accumulations), adjusted for tracers.

            Secondly, optics are visible on all images, but rather something electric. Are you in doubt shooting at 2 km with optics?

              Invisible - from a distance of 300 meters you very poorly see the silhouette of a person. From a distance of two kilometers - this is impossible.
              I have very little experience shooting with optics in general, and even that was only at shooting ranges, for informational purposes. Honestly - calls. Well, if you water the building from a kilometer - I agree. The accumulation of personal strength - from such distances there must be luck in order to get. At the first shots, this cluster runs up)).

It’s stupid to call artillery - so in this case you need to fill it with a machine gun or AGS. Well, or with a company mortar - if we are talking about the US Army. Keep in mind that large-caliber machine guns and automatic grenade launchers from USSOCOM do not carry a hump with them (and they are heavier than ours) - that's why such a machine gun, which can beat noticeably farther than the usual 7,62x51 / 54, is quite a topic to itself.

    It is not clear how it was possible to create a working machine gun weighing 9 kg, firing bullets twice as heavy as PKM or Pecheneg? And most importantly, why is it for American specialists, if the weight of the ammunition set matters in the raid, and it will be significantly heavier in terms of 1000 rounds. On the Humvee, it is quite possible to put a large-caliber 12,7mm, so the meaning is not clear.

      Interesting ... The weight of the machine gun is 9 kg. "Pecheneg" weighs 8,2.
      Damn, how could they, in such a weight, cut a machine gun under such a cartridge?

      Americans have been working on this topic for a very long time. They coped with the recoil on an easy system (the article says this, the recoil of a powerful cartridge is perceived by complicated automation), the question is whether they can achieve reliability.

      the main thing is why he is to American specialists

      Get CCP at the branch level, which you can carry with your hands. Hefty double, no matter what you say, you do not drag on yourself for a long time.
      The efficiency of the standardmag, taking into account the very long and heavy bullet, is even higher at a distance than the pawmag. That is, it is quite an analogue of Cliff / Kord when working on "soft" targets. Slightly worse on armor targets / walls.

      Strange as it may seem, the bourgeoisie also thought of this. From an article about a competing machine.
      Compared to the most widely used 7.62x51 NATO and 7,62x54R machine gun (rifle) cartridges in the world, it provides at least a twofold increase in the effective firing range - from 800 to 1700 meters, as well as a reduction in the flight time of the bullet, greater shooting persistence and significantly higher destructive action on purpose. At 1000 meters, the energy of a bullet of 8,6 mm caliber is almost 4 times greater than the energy of a bullet of 7,62 mm caliber, fired from an M240 machine gun or PKM, which ensures guaranteed penetration of class 3 body armor according to American protection standards. At the same time, the LWMMG machine gun itself weighs even less than the American single-machine gun M240V caliber 7,62mm. True, a much more powerful cartridge also dictates a large mass of ammunition - a .338NM caliber cartridge and a link to it weigh about 45 and 8 grams, respectively, while the 7.62 NATO cartridge and the M13 link weigh 24 and 4 grams to it. In terms of total wearable weight, the LWMMG machine gun on bipods with an ammunition load of 500 rounds in belts weighs 37,6 kg, while the 7,62mm M240V machine gun on bipods with an ammunition load of 800 rounds in belts weighs 34,4 kg and the Kalashnikov PKM machine gun with the same 800 rounds of tape - about 32 kg. In all three cases, the weight of the containers for tape is not taken into account.

      Worse than that
      The United States is currently very intensively working to reduce the mass of cartridges for small arms. The use of sheet stainless steel instead of brass for the manufacture of sleeves can reduce the mass of the cartridge by about 20%, and the transition to composite sleeves (plastic plus a brass bottom) allows you to bring the gain in weight to 30-35%. At the same time, 12,7 mm caliber cartridges with a composite (plastic + brass) machine gun sleeve have already received the official MK323 Mod 0 range in the USA ... For the LWMMG machine gun, switching to a composite sleeve will reduce the cartridge weight from 45 to about 30 grams while maintaining its high combat characteristics. In this version, 500 rounds of .338 caliber cartridges will weigh about 18 kilograms - this is only two and a few kilograms more than the same number of cartridges in the belts for the Kalashnikov PKM machine gun.

      Well, if you believe the advertisements, then, in fact, such as replacing the cord, but with the weight of the Pecheneg or PCM. Bikaliberia is also a plus.

    Did they cope with thermodynamics too? Or are you going to shoot a machine gun in bursts of 2-3 shots?

        9 kg weighs a PC, while after shooting 250 rounds it is necessary to change the barrel. And this machine gun, with a mass of 9 kg, shoots cartridges in which there is 2 times more gunpowder, therefore the barrel heats up 2 times faster.

          Let's say. Therefore, the barrel must be changed when shooting every 100patron tape. One works - one cools down.

    The video shows that when firing in bursts the machine gun twitches. I think the function of a self-loading sniper with tape power is more suitable for him. Fire bursts only in an emergency.
