XM806
The Lightweight .50 Caliber (12.7mm) Machine Gun (XM806) represents a new generation of crew served weapons. The XM806 offers unparalleled combat effectiveness in accuracy, lethality and mobility while decreasing the soldier or vehicle load.
The XM806's advancements over current weapons are achieved by a significant reduction in weight and recoil. The weight reduction allows easy transport by small ground units, expanding the mission flexibility of .50 caliber firepower. The recoil mitigation technology significantly improves accuracy and dispersion.
