    U.S. Army Cold Regions Test Center staged a multiweek test of the Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) early this year. The XM7 and XM250 are successors to the M4 rifle and M249 light machine gun that American forces have used for decades. The new weapons boast improved accuracy and range, weigh less, and fire with less recoil even though it’s 6.8 millimeter round is larger than the two legacy weapons’ 5.56 mm cartridge.
