The new Lightweight Medium Machine Gun fires a .338 Norma Magnum round, delivering 4x the punch of a 7.62 at longer ranges. (General Dynamics)
TAMPA, Fla. — Special operators say the next machine gun should deliver the power, range and accuracy of a .50 caliber in the size of a platoon-level M240 machine gun.
That .338 Norma Magnum Lightweight Medium Machine Gun, to put it lightly, is a “big advancement” in small arms for spec ops, one expert said.
