SOF shooters are about to get serious upgrades for small arms, ammo
Todd South
Special operations shooters can expect some major upgrades to small- and not-so-small arms firepower both in the weapons and ammo over the next few years.
Army Col. Joel Babbitt — program executive officer for SOF Warrior and all things individual gear for Special Operations Command — spelled out the evaluation and fielding plan between now and 2025 that looks to seriously upgrade individual shooters on Wednesday during the annual Special Operations Forces Industry Conference.
The PEO has already put out a request for proposals for its Lightweight Medium Machinegun, or LMG-M, and expects to field the .338 Norma Magnum weapon by early fiscal year 2023.
