Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[MilEME09]

What ammo spec are we talking here? I've seen video of 75 grain bullets travelling at 3500fps, with a pressure of 100000 psi! I would agree with @KevinB that is a substantial increase over standard NATO 556, which is generically described at 62 gr/~62000 psi. That will be punishing to barrels no matter the metallurgy...

GD has been tight lipped I've heard rumors its 72gr but nothing firm. Asked my contact and he said GD has been stone walling them.

Slightly different topic, confirmed the surpressor on both version. It is also fixed....so I have one question, where's the BFA go?

I have heard rumours of a “Holywood blank” that requires no BFA but is magnitudes more expensive.

And the bayonet.
