Vicious_CB Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 SOCOM buying a shit ton of Mk46's and Mk48's in preparation for their "super 6.5mm SAW" concept? https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/09/04/socom-orders-more-mk46-and-mk48-light-machine-guns/ Honestly, I could care less about the 6.5 mafia and care more about them making cobalt or tantalum lined uber barrels a reality: https://ndiastorage.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ndia/2016/armament/18355_Armstrong.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelninja333 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 What sort of round would be an ideal machine-gun cartridge for 1930´s, it seems that most of the nations that had 6.5 as a rifle cartridge went for larger calibre's during the period, in hindsight was this really necessary, what was the reason? did .30 MG's have better barrel life or something? another thing that has been bugging me is the comparison between 6.5 Creedmoor and 7.62 NATO as MG cartridges, would the 6.5 have any real advantage over 7.62 NATO for a GPMG.

Interesting that you ask, as I was just talking about this on a Discord channel the other day: RC is "relative capacity", i.e. the ratio between the propellant capacity of the case and the area of the bore. In other words, .243 Winchester has a much higher RC than .358 Winchester. Before the post-war era the propellants available made high performance rounds like the 6.5mm Swedish pretty problematic for most nations, and it was deemed desirable to have a larger volume inside the bullet jacket for penetrators, observation material, pyrotechnics, etc. 6.5 Creedmoor is a very modern cartridge that achieves performance levels 100-150 ft/s faster than the historical 6.5x55 Swedish Sk. Ptr. m/41 with the same heavy bullets from barrels ~5 inches shorter, despite having almost 10% less case capacity. As a machine gun round it makes quite a lot of sense today (far better trajectory, wind drift, and energy delivered on target than 7.62), but it's not clear that would have been true even 50-60 years ago, let alone at the turn of the 19th/20th century. Historically, nations struggled to field rounds with RCs over 3 - examples being the 6.5x52 Carcano, 6.5x50SR Japanese (both of which are are not much higher than 3), 6.5x55 Swedish. Unsuccessful rounds like the .276 Enfield, 7mm Meunier, and 6mm Lee Navy all also had high RCs comparable to the 6.5x55 Swedish - that the Swedes were the only country to successfully field a very high RC round and stick to it is telling, I think.
